Notepad++ is great... I also write my TI-processes in Architect.

Hi thanks for your response . Can you please let me know what are all the activities you are performing through Notepad++

Devops is not about tools. Devops is about processes.

Part of my development process is looking in log files. I use notepad++ for that.

Deployment: Managing TM1 database assets with Git

Server monitoring: If you're talking about RAM, CPU, etc, P.A.Workspace has a nice monitoring feature. Or if you want more detailed data you should use Performance Monitor

Searching log files - Notepad++ and FileSeek (FileSeek is amazing as you can search the transaction logs and filter for keywords, by modified dates, etc.

Dev Lifecycle - JIRA and for a lite version of code compare you can use BitBucket/Fisheye although I wouldn't reccommend using for direct deployment
(As posted above, the GIT integration is new but could be interesting)

Deployment - TM1 REST API, we have tools to search for text in TI processes, deploy objects live, etc. Take a look at Postman, Cubewise has a blog about it

Although not free, Pulse (by Cubewise) has all monitoring, deployment and change control tools you need.
Also, their Arc product is good for writing code (snippets, auto-indent etc).

Likewise, I used Rest API for hot promotion, although not extensively. Furthermore, I have got a few PowerShell scrips I use for regular model maintenance. There are also some Python libraries that can be used.

P.s. Not paid advertisement :)

Thanks

I recently discovered BareTail https://www.baremetalsoft.com/baretail/

Very useful for looking at log files on a running TM1 instance.

Are you able to share the code for hot promotion? I have been trying to do it via REST API with no success. Appreicaite.

Thanks
