PAjs - Planning Analytics with Watson JavaScript REST Client

After many years of talking about creating a JavaScript frontend to Planning Analytics with Watson we are finally here!

At present we have the following functionality:

- Create listing of all AdminHost(s)
- Displaying all running Models against each AdminHost
- Read Only Access (for now) for REST Api calls to ActiveConfiguration, ActiveSession, ActiveUser, Configuration, Server and many more as well as the standard objects; Chores, Cubes, Dimensions
- Hot Promotion of Processes, copy/ update/ delete processes between AdminHost/ Models

Currently working for IntegratedSecurityMode=1 or Native TM1 Security, CAMID/ Cloud security to be added in the coming weeks

The project is hosted on GitHub and is open source: https://github.com/EddStuart/PAjs

Feel free to ask questions, make suggestions and especially consider contributing to the project.

Hello Edward,

Thanks for sharing.

In terms of promotion of processes and chores, I experience serious time gains with the following tools I created. It’s in Excel VBA, which has disadvantages but also advantages.

- promotion from a live TM1 model to 1 or multiple other TM1 models.
- promotion from CHO and or PRO files that are sitting on disk instead of running in a model, to 1 or multiple TM1 models
- “downloading” (creating) CHO and or PRO files to disk by dumping the properties by code number in such a file

Treating a chore means also treating its called processes.
In turn, treating a process means also treating all the processes it calls or could call.

Easiest is to first create dictionaries with all objects to do, unique names in either a chore dictionary or a process dictionary or both.
Chore dictionary is easy to fill. For processes, they can be picked by the user, or called in chores, or called in other processes that are picked or called in chores. As long as you end up with 2 correct dictionaries you should be good to do. First treat processes, then chores.

It takes a while to set up but most useful later on. Certainly the first option, then the second, then the third.
