Thought it’d be interesting to write out the things that stop me from using TM1 Git integration so far. There’s been a few discussions on tm1forums that highlight some of them: |

We’ve spent a bit of time trying to figure it out recently, so putting it out there for future Google search :) GCP network is using a 10 minute connection tracking and drops the connection deemed ‘idle’ once they exceed this limit. In human terms it means that if you’re sending an Oracle query that exceeds this limit, the open connection will be closed. This, in conjuction with a restrictive enough firewall configuration, would lead to the following situation: |

This post is an outline of the presentation I did at our internal knowledge share session recently. There’s no new or ground-breaking stuff here, just a review of well-known ideas and some of my takes on them. |

Decided to make some of my GCP forrays official (I did use it on a few projects) during a bit -gardening- upskilling XMas break and passed the entry level GCP cert. |

There’s a very innocent-looking code snippet that gives me chills whenever I encounter it (especially in a largish TIs) that goes like this:
nothing really complicated, nothing to wrack your brain about, nobody’s doing their best go at IRR calcs or any other fancy things, so why the dread? |

And in case you’re using the tm1logins log file as per the previous post, here’s a TI that builds a very simple analysis cube that shows you the user logins per hour. Add it to your server and schedule a chore to update it, it should take seconds to run on a 10mb logins file. I’m using it for very simple activity analysis, answering the ‘who is using the system at all’ and ‘what is the login distribution within the day’ to identify when you can do maintenance. |

Thought I’d share the ‘standard’ tm1s-log.properties file I regularly use. tm1s-log.properties controls how and where tm1 logs things and the config file below generates you 4 files:
I’m also limiting each file to 10mb in size ( |

Some of the largest performance gains I saw on a recent project came from ‘breaking up the circles’ in TI processes, so I thought that I’d do quick write-up on it. Nothing new, just the good old ‘don’t read and write at the same time’ adage. We humans like everything circular (our lizard brain is wired to recognise other human’s eyeys and be happy about), whereas TM1 really doesn’t like it all, anything remotely circular (rule dependencies, TIs) causes cache invalidation and massive performance degradation. |
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 2.9.x branch, but no new functionality will be incorporated. None of the previous 2.x releases had such designation.
