Hi Albert,

I haven’t had a chance to work Business Insight much yet, so I’m don’t have definitive answer here.

Can you monitor usage on the servers? In my experience Insight reports tend to be CPU intensive, do you notice 100% spikes?

Just adding a windows perfmon trace (memory, cpu) for a couple of days can give you quite a lot info on that.

Any ideas out there on how to optimize for large user base of Business Insight? There seems to be a serious lag when we have multiple concurrent users on this capability.

Ooook, I’ll have a look at it someday. Is it the same Cubewise Documenter http://www-304.ibm.com/partnerworld/gsd/solutiondetails.do?solution=44860&lc=en&stateCd=P&page=1&sa=true?

Depenency checking of any objects is a complex task, it took me abt whole 2 months to develop TM1 Documenter software.
Its a 15 days evaluation software.By the way, I believe its useful (to TM1 Developers).
Please provide me ur feedback

Thanks for that.

I can’t see the source code in the archive — how do you check cube dependency?

Comment on Do you want your TM1 go twice faster on Intel-box? Turn HyperThreading off by Anonymous

Hi, Mike.

Send your test results, I’m really interested (got a few already, craving for more).

About PVUs: I was thinking more in terms of a situation when you have a virtual machine for TM1 and you just have more cores on the host with only a couple shipped to TM1 VM, therefore you’ll have a distinct chance of boost. But thinking again, am I arrogant enough trying to outsmart IBM sales when it comes to licence cost or inventing perpetum mobile?
I think I’ll ask my IBM contacts and go through license docs myself and then will return with an answer of whereas this is possible. I’ve read something specific about IBM Power TurboCore, but can’t remember anything on Intel chips.

Anyhow, the same holds for user-based licensing — buy more cores, get Turbo Boost
