We all love tm1s.log files, our lifeline and an invaluable tool in the ‘why the number is X’ scenarios. They tend to get quite big though and you usually do some sort of ‘zip’em / move’em / delete’em after Y days’ automation. In this post, I’ll look into adding ‘push’em to the cloud to query’…
Do you have a red circle around 30th of September in your calendars as TM1 10.2.2 end of support? As we’re going through the upgrades for our customers, it’s mostly smooth sailing (if you ignore PaW) and we mostly see 3 main types of ‘issues’: Memory growth – it’s reasonable to expect a 20% increase…
If you’re like me and have done anything with ExecuteJavaN(S) TI calls, you were probably saddened by the news that IBM was planning to phase out Java support in TM1. Current PA (2.0.6) release was supposed to be the last one to support it. You can still see the google cached documentation mentioning it. This…
A quick note here as well as on TM1Forums here’s what I generally change in flat.css style (located in tm1_64\webapps\tm1web\scripts\tm1web\themes\flat ) to make TM1Web in Planning Analytics easier on the eyes. 1) Removing Helvetica Neue as default font to align numbers (by default the numbers are slightly off and it drives me crazy) and increasing…
And here it is. Very useful content. Overall I must say I’m really impressed with this new WLP backed TM1Web, it’s a lot faster and more stable than Tomcat in 10.2.2 was. And while we’re talking about TM1Web configuration: If you want to enable JMX monitoring on TM1Web and you are operating in a properly…
Is called CommManagerSettings.xml and is located in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Cognos\OFfice Connection\ . It contains the data source settings (tm1 app server, tm1 server name), nice to ‘preset’ those in PaX silent installations across a wide user community, you don’t everyone to know how to configure URLs. This info is relatively tricky to find, it’s still only in…
TM1 / Planning Analytics team is doing an impressive amount of work to make TIs run in parallel, however, the ‘grunt’ part of TurboIntegrator processes is still (as of 10.2.2 / PA 2) limited by one core. Even if you have a beefy server with multiple cores, they would only be utilised in ‘preparing source…
Now that we can be sure that Internet is here to stay cloud computing is a real thing I’ve finally got around to ticking AWS cert of the ‘would be good to do’ list. I’ve been using EC2 for a fairly long time, but AWS is many (and many doesn’t even start to cover how…
I’ve recently updated the script that runs application maintenance utility for TM1 when you got CAM Security with Single SignOn enabled on Cognos BI. See this post for the description of the issue, I’m publishing a better take on a solution. So why am I kicking the dust on this one? I was using the…
Work has been quite intense and very high-level recently, so I was missing the state of flow and the builders high that accompany coding. And I thought it’s a good time to learn something new and since I’ve been reading heaps of good things about Apache Spark, a course on it sounded like a worthwhile…
