IBM Planning Analytics On Prem

[gtonkin]

Looks like it is available for download. I start here then "navigate" further to access the relevant packages: Brand=Analytics-Solutions, Sorted by newest.

Products and part numbers seem to be:
IBM Planning Analytics 2.0 Microsoft Windows Multilingual eAssembly (CJ11AML)
IBM Planning Analytics Advanced 2.0 Microsoft Windows Multilingual eAssembly (CJ11EML)

Edit: eAssembly is close on 10Gb, but that seems to be standard now.

Now when installing TM1 (Planning Analytics 2.0) it asks whether it is a Production or Non Production server (where Non Production should be chosen for Demos etc.) I wonder if this indicates that IBM now have a proper way of monitoring contract compliance.

There were also 2 options to download "Planning Analytics" or "Planning Analytics Advanced" where the only difference for the Windows installer was an extra 3mb licence file.

From what I have been told,
PA Standard is TM1, Workspace
PA Advanced is TM1, Workspace plus restricted use for CIS, CCC, SPSS (other limitations e.g. data sources, minimum licensed users etc.

Related bumpf from the announcement that came out half an hour ago:
Content-free general release announcement here;
Slightly less content-free announcement letter here.

From the latter:

IBM Planning Analytics Local V2.0, formerly known as IBM Cognos® TM1®, offers a single planning and analysis solution that can be deployed locally.

"Formerly known?" So, what, we change the name of the Forum?

Version 2.0 brings an interface for improved speed, agility, and foresight: IBM Planning Analytics Workspace

"...If you pay for it" has been notably omitted.

Interestingly the packages are called
* IBM TM1 2.0 Microsoft Windows Multilingual
* IBM TM1 Client 32-bit/64-bit 2.0 Microsoft Windows Multilingual

We are back to v2

In that case I'm going to wait a few point releases until this comes back into fashion. The only problem I had with this one was Winsock drivers under Windows 98, if I recall correctly.

Need to get me some new servers so I can try this one out. Really looking forward to checking out the new "TI-Debugger". But maybe it didn't make it into this release.

Supposedly not in the packaged release but will be available from Developer Works to test it out if you want.

I am unable to locate the download on DeveloperWorks, so if someone can spot it, leave a reply

I did say supposedly...

This is what the "new features" part of the documentation states:

TurboIntegrator Debugger tool

You can access a TurboIntegrator Debugger tool on IBM developerWorks. This tool provides a user interface where you can set breakpoints and step through TurboIntegrator processes to identify possible issues or errors in your TurboIntegrator scripts. The TurboIntegrator Debugger, which is built on the new TurboIntegrator process debugging capabilities of the TM1 REST API, is currently in preview release and is not a supported component of IBM Planning Analytics Local 2.0.0

Thank you Declan, so let's wait and see

I hope this isn't the final home, but the debugger is uploaded to https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/comm ... 8eb32c26ad. There doesn't appear to be any other documentation (yet).

[Wim Gielis]

Much appreciated, BrianL

Hi all,

Unfortunately the TurboDebugger has changed since August, when I could test it.
Then there was a log in prompt which is straightforward: admin host, TM1 server, username, password.

Now we are asked for "TM1 Server API HTTP URL".

What would it be in a typical TM1 installation ?
I tried with port 5895 as well but it does not work. No error message either.

Any ideas ? Thanks !

[Edward Stuart]

The default path in my instance after downloading and saving to my local hard drive points to:

http://localhost:8000/api/v1/

I've setup my Planning Sample instance to point to 8001 in the tm1s.cfg file

# Amendment to tm1s.cfg file for TM1 REST API Connection
HTTPPortNumber = 8001

Therefore, in my instance I have changed the login link to:
http://localhost:8001/api/v1/

Works a charm

[Wim Gielis]

Hello Edward,

I got it too now with the help from Google.
Such a line in the cfg file was indeed missing.

Thanks

[BrianL]

Just noticed this document about the debugger. https://developer.ibm.com/recipes/tutor ... r-debugger. Looks like HttpPortNumber isn't the only required config option.

Hi all,

I tried the TI debugger. I find a big problem when using parameters in the TI process.
The debugger takes the default value of a parameter, and does not take the value that is supplied at run-time.
That's pretty annoying

There is version 3 of the TI debugger which should address this issue. I will check it out shortly. Thanks Brian Laferriere.

Hi
it's strongly recommended to have a dedicated server to run Planning Analytics Workspace (on docker); more details are available here:
