Error setting process property

Post by viswaraju »

Hi,
When I tried a new process, I got an error in TI as
TM1 Error
"Error setting Process Property"
this was the error i got while i was saving the process.

I have searched in previous posts. Mattgoff had posted the same error.

I am working on tm1 9.5.2 and excel 2007.
I have used delimiter as 'Comma'

thank you
tm1 9.5.2

Hi,

I do have the same error.
When I was creating a new TI process and while saving, I am having this popup "Error setting process property".

Can any one suggest me to get rid off this.
I am working on Cognos Express v10.1, OS: Windows Server 2008 R2Standard, SP1.

You can get this error when you have the same name for a variable on the Variables Tab and a Parameter in the Parameters Tab under advanced. Can you let us know what Variables and Parameters you have defined?

"error setting process property"

Hi,
It may be true some times, what you said. But here, I am creating a simple TI process with out variables, parameters etc.
8-)
I able to solve the issue, for now.
This "Error setting process property" is because of version difference from server to client. And this is fixed by installing fixpak where the product version will be the same once after the fixpak installation and I am able to create a TI process successfully.

Before fixpak

After fixpak

Idea: I feel like this can also be fixed by setting a parameter "ClientVersionMaximum", if the client is higher to Server version. And "ClientVersionMinimum" when the client version is lower to the Server version, in configuration file. Beside this, we do have one more parameter "ClientVersionPrecision". :D . But I have not tried.
Thank you,
syd

The most common reason I have seen this occur (in fact the only reason it has happened to me) is when you had the TI window open (and maybe a few dozen other TM1 objects)... then lost connection to the server... then when you reconnect, the TI window may have stayed open and look likes it all good and valid etc but it is no longer connected to the server; hence it cannot save.
  • Copy and paste the contents of each tab out to notepad.
  • Close the TI window.
  • Go to server explorer and open that TI again (or create a new one if it didn't already exist)
  • Paste the content of your notepad document back into it accordingly.
  • Save.

Same - a real PITA - but what can you do if your co-developers happen to crash the server whilst you're making a brew? ;)

I find deleting their accounts often does the trick :twisted:
