TM1 Forum

Hi all,

In the documentation for Planning Analytics for Excel, IBM states:
" the DBR function is equivalent to the DBRW function".
It goes on to say that both are optimised for network traffic.
As regards the VIEW function: "VIEW is primarily used for compatibility with TM1® TM1 Perspectives worksheets"

Does this mean that when building new stuff in PAx, the DBRW() + VIEW() construct is now redundant and that the same effect is achieved with simple DBR()?

Thanks for all wisdom/comments.

Not sure about PAX but I've always found the excel timing of both to be different. It'd be interesting to see if that has changed,

Jim.

Guessing that DBR and DBRW would be the same now as PAfE should be leveraging the REST API and no need for two functions.
Not sure on the VIEW function and how stargates would be triggered though.
