Security Groups Limit reached

[LeeTaylor1979]

Has anyone ever seen this before ?

Message : Tm1server has reached the groups creation limit. You cannot create anymore groups in this server session

I was not aware there is a limit to how many groups you can create.

I am trying to set up 42 new groups, got to about 18 and this message appeared ?

From the Operations manual, in the section on tm1s.cfg parameters:

GroupsCreationLimit

Sets the maximum number of groups that can be created in one TM1® server session.

Parameter type:

* Optional
* Static

If you change this parameter value, restart the TM1 server to apply the new value.

The GroupsCreationLimit parameter accepts a value of any positive integer. The maximum number of groups for GroupsCreationLimit is 65535. The maximum number of groups that can exist on a server is 65535. If you do not use the parameter, the default number of groups is 20.

For example, to create 50 groups per server session, enter the following line:

GroupsCreationLimit=50

Note: When TM1 allocates memory to store security information, the server calculates the amount of memory required based in part on the value of GroupsCreationLimit. In some circumstances when your TM1 model is large and the GroupsCreationLimit parameter is set to an exceptionally high value, the server will attempt to allocate memory beyond the available capacity on the server. The TM1 server will fail to load and will issue a Server Out of Memory message. To avoid this situation, set GroupsCreationLimit to a value that accurately reflects the maximum number of user groups you may need to create during a server session.

The GroupsCreationLimit value is not enforced when you create groups with the AddGroup function in TurboIntegrator.

Alan,

This is a new server and once I have added these 42 group there will be little or none left to create So I think a limit of 50 will be more than enough.

Many thanks for your help.

That setting controls how many groups you can create in a single session, it's not telling you how many groups overall you are allowed to have. Once you recycle the TM1 service the counter starts all over again.
