Can TM1 run process in the backend?

Post by macsir »

Whenever I run a process, the TM1 Server Explorer is stuck. I can do nothing until it finishes.
Is there any way to put a running process into the backend?
In TM1,the answer is always yes though sometimes with a but....

You can use ExecuteCommand to run the command line program TM1RunTI.EXE which will run a TI process from a new user session. Be sure to set the ExecuteCommand to run asynchronously though.

I believe that this command line program became available in 9.5.2 FP1. See this documentation for further details http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... wg21566543.

All TI's are really running 'in the backend'. Another way to get around this issue in Server Explorer is to run two sessions (one Architect, one Perspectives, for example). Run TIs from one and carry on working in the other.
