Picklist for TM1 Process

Post by mukeshrajdass »

Is there a way of creating a picklist for the parameter in TM1 TurboIntegrator Process directly on TM1 Architect (not via Excel Worksheet or Contributor ) ?

Thx

You can create a picklist in a cube and and select the approriate parameter, then reference this in your TI process via a CellGetN/S in the Prolog to obtain the parameter at run-time. To avoid a situation where the process is run without the parameter being selected first, clear it in the epilog of the process and jump out of the process if the parameter is blank. You can also use TM1User() and the }Clients dimension to allow for parameter sets per user.
