what is tm1rawstore?
Hi All,
Couldn't get any information on the file tm1rawstore(with a timestamp) in the data folder.
Wondering what purpose does this file server, and when does it come into play when the model is running?

i believe this is the temporary file that stores the audit trail of users. when the defined file size is reached, a permanent file is created. this file is locked as long as the server is running.
please correct me if i'm wrong here. thanks!

Re: what is tm1rawstore?
My understanding is that if the parameter within tm1s.cfg called AuditLogOn=T then TM1 Server writes into a temp file called tm1rawstore.<Timestamp>, created under the database directory. The entry in this log file are then moved to the final Audit log

My understanding too.
It's a PITA because it sits in the data directory and interferes with taking server snapshots. Winzip skips open files but Windows Compressed Folders doesn't.

You can move it out of the model directory (I put it in my logging directory) with the RawStoreDirectory parameter in tm1s.cfg.David Usherwood wrote:My understanding too.

Re: what is tm1rawstore?
It is a documentation hole that I (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) have raised with IBM but you can configure the location of the rawstore in tm1s.cfg with the parameter RawStoreDirectory. I always just set it to the same path as the logging directory (why you would ever want to do anything else is quite beyond me).

There are few things that p1$$ me off more than finding out a crucial function is not documented. Takes me back to the bad old Applix days - 'Oh, didn't you know that? Everybody knows that!'
Grrrrr.

Re: what is tm1rawstore?
Well, I hate to defend Cognos, especially when it comes to documentation, but in this case it is in 9.5.1 Operations Guide under the tm1s.cfg parameters section. That's how I figured it out when I ran into the same problem after enabling the audit log and finding my automated backup zips were failing.David Usherwood wrote:![]()

Oh....
I was working on a CX 9.0 aka TM1 9.4.1 system when I found it. I'll have a look to see if it was in that help file. Let's hope it wasn't a senior moment....

Re: what is tm1rawstore?
Hi,
Do you know if there is any guidance as to when it is safe to clean up files created in a raw store folder?
