TM1 Performance Modeler: trigger upload security from file
Posted: Sun Jan 20, 2013 6:19 pm
Hi,
did anyone ever used the "import from file" option in TM1 Performance Modeler to import authorizations for the approval hierachy?
Once you figered out how this file must be structured (basically identical to eRights file in Enterprise Planning), uploading works fine and all authorizations can be imported. But this still requires manual interaction, which makes it impossible to automate this step.
I'm coming from Cognos Enterprise Planning and in Planning, there is a Macro command which does such administrative tasks when scheduled. I couldn't find a substitute in Performance Modeler yet. Also, the documentation on managing rights in Performance Modeler application is really high level.
One direction I explored is the "}tp_upload_security_from_file" TI process which comes pre-defined. At least the name sounds as if this is what I'm looking for, but I did not manage yet to execute this process successfully. It is also not used when you import a rights file in Performance Modeler, so tracing the parameters is not possible here. Again, no documention available so far.
I would appreciate any idea or concept to automatically import authorizations for the approval hierarchy.
Thank you.
