Error loading TM1 9.5.2 Server on AIX

Post by roguerrero »

Good Afternoon to everyone.
I need for your help.
We have a TM1 Server on Windows 2003 Server, but, recently we want to move on AIX server, but, while the server load (AIX Server), the messages on TM1server.log say:

E2) Dimension Failed "}elementattributes_tipos_tasas.dim" not found or file error.

For all file dimensions show this message. However, the files are in the server, all the dimension files are in the server.

Anybody please help me.

It's actually morning here, but that's beside the point.

The files may be on the server... but are they in the path that you've specified in the DataBaseDirectory parameter of the tm1s.cfg file? Or is that still showing your Windows Server path?

Hi,

When you move a database from a Windows to a Unix environment you can run into filename encoding issues. There are some notes on this in the TM1 installation guide.
Recently we moved a DB from Windows to AIX and we had to change all filenames to lowercase to get the database started.

Actually that's a good point; it's been so long since I've worked in a Unix environment I'd forgotten about that. Unix-based OS's are usually case sensitive when it comes to filenames, whereas Windows isn't.

I think I prefer the Windows approach in this case...

Reason: Had to add the "usually" since as soon as I hit [Send] I thought of some obvious exceptions.
