tm1 how to copy private view from one user to another user?

Post by Niko »

anyone know how to copy private view from one user to another user within tm1/PA?

background :
A User create a private view through tm1web , then he want to share this view with others.

I don't know if this is feasible:

use publishview function to transfer private view to public , then generate a View URL using ti process , finally send view URL to B User by email.

Someone with access to the TM1 data directory can copy over the objects (views and maybe subsets) from 1 folder to the other.
The receiving user should log off and log on.

Or create a script to copy files and remove the manual work.

Or try to do it with the TM1 REST API.

Consider that if you are dealing with a private view, those views may have private sets which would need to be copied along with the .vue

There is also the TI function PublishView. You could just let the user run the bedrock view publish process

If you are using PA with alternative hierarchies then I tried publishview on a MDX view a couple of years back and from memory it would not work. I know I went to IBM support and it wasn't on their radar, whether it has since been addressed I don't know.

But if you are using PAW & PAfE then here is an alternative approach. It's not obvious that this would be possible and I don't know how broadly this is being done.
