My suggestion for resolving this would be related to another enhancement post I'm about to make: security on views. If you could set views to only be opened by certain groups, then you could limit TI views to administrators only.TM1 does not distinguish between views which are created for data analysis purposes, and those which are intended as a Data Source for TurboIntegrator. There is a school of thought that Cognos should create such a distinction and separate data source views from analytical views, given that data source views are seldom suitable for viewing and are often too large to be displayed. There has been little if any indication that Cognos is inclined to address this issue, however.
The other option would be to create something that is not a "view" in the current meaning of the term. For want of a better term, the name "TISource" would work. This could be created in a similar fashion to the way we create views for TI processes now (right click on cube, export as ascii data, build, save) but could not be opened in the cube viewer by a user, only by a TI process.
Any other ways of handling this problem that we can suggest to Cognos?
