What do I think about when I think about TM1 TI performance
|
This post is an outline of the presentation I did at our internal knowledge share session recently. There’s no new or ground-breaking stuff here, just a review of well-known ideas and some of my takes on them.

Got a GCP associate cert as well
|
Decided to make some of my GCP forrays official (I did use it on a few projects) during a bit -gardening- upskilling XMas break and passed the entry level GCP cert.

Why I don't like 'silent' Itemskips
|
There’s a very innocent-looking code snippet that gives me chills whenever I encounter it (especially in a largish TIs) that goes like this:
If (something something); Itemskip; Endif; nothing really complicated, nothing to wrack your brain about, nobody’s doing their best go at IRR calcs or any other fancy things, so why the dread?

tm1login cube
|
And in case you’re using the tm1logins log file as per the previous post, here’s a TI that builds a very simple analysis cube that shows you the user logins per hour.

my default tm1s-log.properties file
|
Thought I’d share the ‘standard’ tm1s-log.properties file I regularly use. tm1s-log.properties controls how and where tm1 logs things and the config file below generates you 4 files:
tm1server.log – I’m adding the Debug level for locks to see the name of the objects locked at that point in time.

Another PA Performance tip "Don't read from and write to the same cube in TIs" or "The cunning of CellIncrement"
|
Some of the largest performance gains I saw on a recent project came from ‘breaking up the circles’ in TI processes, so I thought that I’d do quick write-up on it.

IBM Data and AI Accelerators
|
IBM have released a real treasure-trove of content in IBM Data and AI Accelerators! Most definitely have a look if you haven’t already. I only skimmed the Planning Analytics part of it (or as I call it, “Andreas Kugelmeier’s mind palace”) and it’s a very worthwhile read.

Price Volume Mix analysis in TM1
|
I was just reading through Price Volume Mix analysis IBM Accelerator template and it would have been be so useful for me about 5 years back when I had to create our own template for a pharmaceutical model.

TM1 Cell Security
|
Had a few ‘let’s improve performance’ cases recently that were all related to CellSecurity, so here’s a couple of notes on it. You’ve heard all of this before, just putting it together.
