Just judging by the amount of feedback I still get about the Java stress testing tool, load testing is really something everyone starts looking at once they’re facing any decent number of users in the system. 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…

A couple of good IBM links: IBM posted a really good ‘all things about locking’ TM1 Guide, read it if you have trouble sleeping TM1Top is officially back ) A quick choosing hardware for TM1 update: I was compiling some hardware specs for TM1 and wanted to highlight some of the main assumptions I use….
Just finished yet another Coursera course and am very impressed by quality of content and lectures. This time it was more of a ’subject matter’/‘business’ course rather than the usual technical stuff. Pharmaceuticals is definitely my ‘main’ industry: I spent a lot of time doing projects for various pharma companies in multiple countries. My first project, 14 years ago (sniff-sniff),…
Just a quick post on what I know about configuring High Availability (HA) or Load Balancing for TM1 at the moment. Copying this link will save me some keystrokes along the way 😉 TM1 Web and Applications server can be fully load-balanced / HA if configured as per (from 10.2 upwards) using this IBM Guide….
In case you missed the news, Cognos Software Development Kit became a part of BI Administrator license during the latest IBM license revamp. That’s fantastic news, because you get heaps of functionality for free. You don’t need to be particularly savvy with Java and .Net, there dozens of sample utilities released by IBM where you…
It’s a just 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 colouring and improve system bandwidth with multiple users, so each time you take ownership of…
