I have TM1 10.1 on Win 7 with .NETFRAMEWORK 3.5 SP1.
I am trying to get the Advanced Rules Editor by updating TM1P.ini file as T for AdvancedRulesEditor. I have restarted the services and still cannot get the AdvancedRulesEditor option. I have right click the Sales cube and chose create rule option and it still shows basic editor.

tm1p.ini file location path:-
C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1\bin\tm1p.ini

Am I missing out something on 10.1? Please help me with this.

Thanks,
Anu

This is a client setting, it has nothing to do with the server. Stopping and restarting the services won't do a thing. Your problem is you changed the wrong tm1p.ini. The one you want to change is in your personal directory for app settings. I don't know what OS you are using but in Windows 7 you would find it in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Applix\TM1.

Just to add to Tomok's quite correct answer, you can get to the relevant application data directory in any Windows version by typing the environment variable

Code: Select all

%APPDATA%

into the address bar of Windows Explorer and pressing Enter. That will take you directly there.

For some reason despite everything else being re-branded as IBM and/or Cognos, the file will indeed be found in a folder which is still named Applix.

I'd be interested to hear whether you get it to load in Windows 7. I have 10.1 on only a single test machine and as I mentioned recently in another thread the advanced rules editor wouldn't launch for me; it flashed a window which then just shrunk down to nothing and vanished. Whether that was an issue specific to that particular machine or whether it's something relating to the Win 7 / 10.1 combination is something that I'm curious about, though since I never use the thing I haven't put a great deal of effort into finding the answer.
