Running a TI from a different server

Post by conflax »

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to call/run a TI process from within another TM1 server?

We have two live instances and I need to be able to transfer data between the two. I have looked on the forum and tried using ODBO but this doesn't work correctly and the general concensus seems to be that it is unstable, and the only "safe" way is data export and import.

I have setup a Data Export TI from my source cube dumping to a cma file and a Data Import TI in the destination server. Can I setup a control process in either server that runs both processes together?

If not I guess I could just setup two action buttons in an Application and do it that way.....

Thanks

You can now run TI processes from the command line.

And you can initiate the command line from within a TI process.

So link those 2 steps together and yes you can :)
