Update 07/09/201t6: Corrected the post to reflect the fact that TM1 will not ‘crash’, it will refuse client connections, but server itself will be just fine. And added a solution that I missed before: disabling SSL altogether. There will be a preferred recipe and update from IBM around mid-September as I’m told, I’ll publish a…
A quick note on the decades-old topic of dimension order. In a nutshell: don’t really trust System Order, it ignores changing the last dimension and it’s always the most impactful one. Ignore the rest of the post and move on, carry on if you’re interested in my ramblings on it. There’s a metric ton of…
Just a quick note that I’ve updated tm1financelib with a few statistical functions (again, nothing more than pointing to them in POI): DEVSQ AVEDEV MEDIAN VAR VARP I’ve added function descriptions in the original post. Come to think of it, maybe I should post the whole stuff on something like github. Whenever I’ll have a…

This post will describe how to use JMeter to do a broader scope of testing, emulating the full user interaction…
Well, it’s already / finally over and I must say I’m very impressed. I didn’t expect anything close to what it was for me: I met heaps of great people, learned a lot of new things and had a few long nights out ) I also got a massive cold so I’m spending the last…
I’m finally going to bat country, yay! And not just going, I’ll even be onstage (just for a few minutes, don’t worry). Our presentation was approved, so on 26-Oct at 10:30 AM-11:30 AM, we’d be talking about TM1 in Sanofi Aventis. It took a good part of my youth last 3 years, but we do…
Cognos BI macro functions are like regular expressions, you can revisit them any time and find a lot of new things as well as a lot of things you forgot since you last looked at it ) I had a chance to play with quite complex use case lately and even wrote an article to…
