Planning Analytics 2.0.9 is out
I usually don’t do ‘release’ posts, but I think this one is significant for a couple of reasons. 2.9 is an official long-term support release, which means that IBM will provide only fixes to this 2.

Just realised that I’ve put tm1financelib on GitHub and didn’t tell anyone about it ;) Here it is. I know nobody should be using Java Extension TIs as this functionality is no longer actively developed (but still supported for all PA 2. |
Using AWS Athena for TM1 transaction log analysis
|
We all love tm1s.log files, our lifeline and an invaluable tool in the ‘why the number is X’ scenarios. They tend to get quite big though and you usually do some sort of ‘zip’em / move’em / delete’em after Y days’ automation. |
