TM1 Forum

Hi all,

I'm trying to open Performance Modeler (on TM1 10.1.1) but an issue, as showed in the attached picture, occurs, i.e.:
The ModelingMDT executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library I tried to open PM from different clients but the same error occurs.
Can anybody help me to understand how to solve the problem?
Many thanks in advance

EDIT:
In the meantime, I'm reading about IntegratedSecurityMode. I'm using IntegratedSecurityMode = 5 and it seems Performance Modeler can't be used in this security mode; I might use IntegratedSecurityMode = 1. Are you agree with this consideration?

PM works fine with mode 5.
Try installing it properly on the client PC using the installer package.
Or save the executable you are using to a location you can "get at" then try right clicking and select run as admin.

I installed PM in a PC client but the same error occurs
i installed and executed PM as admin but the result was the same
Have you any other advice??
Thanks

It is looking for a DLL and not finding it.
You can try to diagnose this problem two ways.
First, you can try to use Dependency Walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com). See if it highlights any missing or incompatible DLLs.
If that does not work you can use Process Monitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... 96645.aspx) to log all file operations carried out by the launcher and see what it is failing to find.

Both of these utilities are extremely useful in lots of contexts!

In my Tm1 Server, I use a "Database" folder used to store all Tm1 objects (cubes, dimensions, rules, TI processes, etc.)
This folder is configured in Tm1s.cfg using DataBaseDirectory parameter.
If I change this value to another clean database folder all work well!!
So, it's an issue related to my folder! But....what? why?
I find this article
http://blogs.perficient.com/enterprisei ... e-modeler/

"[...]After a restarting (all) my TM1 services and even a (desperate) rebooting of my machine I finally discovered the issue – invalid views and/or subsets in the TM1 database. During my previous session I had created and saved several views and subsets with the (now) non-existent cubes and dimensions. It seems that Performance Modeler doesn’t like this (where as TM1 Architect usually will tolerate this situation by simply ignoring them).[...]"

My error is different but perhaps related to corrupted views/subsets too.
I'm yet looking for the solution...

Well spotted - PM seems pickier than Architect. Shame it doesn't tell you what it doesn't like. Not surprising that experienced TM1 developers don't rush to using it.

I solved analyzing all contents of my database folder.
So, starting from a clean database folder, I moved into this clean folder some processes, cubes, rules, etc. of mine.
At the end, only 1 process resulted corrupted.
This file .pro was in the db folder but it didn't appear in Architect.
I removed it and PM is ok now
I hope my struggle will be useful to other developers...but I'll be far from PM !!!!!
