Cleaning a datadirectory of workflow / planning mgr objects

Post by Jeroen Eynikel »

Hi,

I have inherited a datamodel that used to work with TM1 workflow aka planning manager. We are not going to use this anymore so I want to get rid of all the objects created by it.

The planning manager/workflow software itself is not installed on the system (anymore?) so I can not do an 'uninstall' of workflow. (That is assuming that such an uninstall actually cleans the datadirectory of the objects created which I have no experience with but I am somewhat sceptical of this).

I have a few options to do this - wondering whether anyone has any experience with this.

1: actually install workflow first and then uninstall. Definitely not my preferred option and not sure whether that would even work
2: manually delete all workflow objects from the directory.
I.e. - delete anything that contains '}sm'.
- in the datadirectory there are thousands of files .dim.somenumber which to me seem to have been created by planning manager as well.
So I want to delete those as well.

Is there anything else to be deleted? Is there any risk involved in this that anyone knows of? (TM1 951)

Installing planning manager gives you the option of selecting a data directory to copy the planning manager objects into but uninstalling planning manager does not remove them.

Your approach is the correct one. Simply shut down the server and delete all the }sm objects. If TM1 web was being used then also edit the web.config file to set CustomToolbar=False
