This is installed with recent versions of TM1 and CX.
I'm not aware of any documentation covering it (I ought to be surprised :roll: ....).
Has anybody looked through it?

Well, lemmie see...

I've run it.

I did note that the config file port number is 83333 while the supposed valid range is from 5001 to 49151, so I thought that was a "good" start.

At least the object names don't use spaces, so that was good (in the non-sarcastic fashion).

Then I started looking at the TIs and everything I saw was done through the Map tabs. And I looked at the rules and saw the accursed word "Autogenerated, no, it'll work properly, really, trust us", and then I realised that the one technique that HAS been proven over the years is that you can't trust autogenerated code.

Then I stopped looking.

I may be wrong as I haven't looked at it in a while but think it was all created in performance modeller as a way of showing what metrics cubes are and so such.
So that would probably be why all the code was auto-generated; think we all know by now to never mistake any of the sample models with "best practice"... if such a thing actually exists in the TM1 world.

I've found out a bit more - it is indeed Modeller-based. If you run PM up you see this:

But surely IBM have some documenation somewhere?
