Hi All,
Thnks in advance. and i would say that thanks to all for previous given answers and its helped me lot.

while writing the rules in the rules window is there any specific numbers of strings would allowed ?. i mean

How many strings would we type in rules? or how many maximum number of strings would it allow us to write a rule .actually we are using aplix tm1 9.0 version.and as per as i know it would be only 256 characters please correct me if am wrong?

and in cube in a partcular cell how many numbers can we store it?


Thanks in advance.

I've never come across a limit when writing rules. There's a word wrap that happens in TI, but no truncating that I've ever noticed. The rules seem to wrap to screen. Rules are kept in plain text files, so there shouldn't be any issue with long lines. Apart from being a pain to read.

However yes, there is a 256 character limit for data entered in cells in versions before 9.4 when unicode was introduced.

Reread Martin's answer - I believe that 9.5.1 > 9.4. But I can't recall what the maximum now is - probably 65536.
However, although TM1 can store text, it doesn't provide good facilities to work with it.
And, as Martin says, rules aren't stored in cubes.

in Applix 9.0 tm1 we can store it 256 characters in one cell in a cube.

You are correct

where as in Cognos tm1 9.5.1 we can store it 65536 characters in one cell in a cube.

Probably. It may not exactly be 65536, but it's a lot, whatever it is. Unless you're using TM1 for something that it's clearly not designed for (e.g. CRM or Document Management) you will not hit this limit.
