EP to TM1 migration

[sivan307]

Hello:

I will be starting off migrating some of the applications from EP to TM1. If someone can share your ideas on how to approach the migration that will really help.

Thanks,
Kal

Kalyan,

We do not have any automated tool/wizard which migrate the EP models to TM1. You will have to re-write everything in TM1 - but offcourse you can get the ideas/logic from the EP app.

I would recommend taking this as an opportunity to remodel your applications previously in EP. You will find the forced EP designs limitations are not necessary in TM1. Tm1 will have a heap more flexibility (sometimes too much choice) . Your EP models are probably restricted by cube size, number of cubes per application, sparcity and dimension sizes. Most of these you can work with in TM1. You also have many smaller dcubes (compared to TM1) linked by many dlinks, where TM1 will be capability of less and larger cubes with rules applied, but dont forget the power of TI processes if the results are not required 'realtime'.

Note also TM1 doesnt have Builtin Functions (BiFs) but you can find ways to do most BiFs through rules or TI. Timescales dont seem to be as easy in TM1 but again still workable once you learn.
Goodluck
