TM1 Applications Contributor Sandboxes and Commit
|
A quick note on how TM1 Applications / Contributor works with sandboxes. Quite common knowledge, but can be useful for debugging, so I’m wrapping it up as a post. TM1 Applications / Contributor uses sandboxes to do cell colour and improve system bandwidth with multiple users, so each time you take ownership of the node, a new sandbox will be created with the following name SandboxName_}tp_tasks_Application_ID_Node_You_Took_Ownership_On_application_id where: |
4 Things you can do to improve TM1 performance today
We’ve started a regular newsletter here at PMsquare, so I was asked if maybe I can write a ‘not-so-technical’ how-to article. You can judge the result yourself, reposting it below. Sign-up for the newsletter, lots of good stuff there.
TM1 application maintenance utility and SingleSignOn
|
IBM reworked the way approval hierarchies work quite a bit in TM1 10.2. Refreshing any changes to approval hierarchies or updating application security now requires calling a special application maintenance utility. |

TM1 Applications and cross dimensional security or Access tables with NoData in TM1
|
Got questions about cross dimensional security in TM1 Applications aka Contributor quite a few times, so it’s obviously time to write something up and put out here for linking in future ) Cross dimensional security is quite a mouthful, so for us ex-Enterprise Planning people: this is a post on how to do something like Access Tables in TM1. |
Cognos and OpenStreetMap
|
Got a chance to play with maps in Cognos reports for a recent PoC and learned quite a lot in the process. Most notably, I integrated OpenStreetMap in Cognos report, so I’ll demonstrate how to do it. |
Cognos BI 10.2.1 3 charting engines: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
|
Feature updates went largely unnoticed with BI 10.2.1 FP1 release. It’s highly unusual to have major feature updates in fix packs, they’re usually held up to releases. But in this case we’ve got Rapid Analytical Visualisation Engine (RAVE) available in all reports, not only Active Reports (as per core 10. |
