Duplicate Elements in Rollups

Large nested rollups can lead to elements being counted twice or more within a rollup.
The following process helps you to find, across all dimensions of your system, all rollups that contain elements consolidated more than once under the rollup.

The code isn't the cleanest and there are probably better methods to achieve the same result so don't hesitate to edit the page or comment.

It proceeds like this:

TM1Top

TM1Top provides realtime monitoring of your TM1 server, pretty much like the GNU top command.

TM1Top

It is bundled with TM1 only from version 9.1. You might have to ask your support contact to get it or get Ben Hill's TM1Top below.

. Dump the files in a folder
. Edit tm1top.ini, replace myserver and myadminhost with your setup

TM1 Sudoku

Beyond the purely ludic and mathematical aspects of sudoku, this code demonstrates how to set up dimensions, cubes, views, cell formating, security at elements and cells levels all through Turbo Integrator in just one process.

TM1 services on the command line

removing a TM1 service
in a DOS shell:
go to the \bin folder where TM1 is installed then:
tm1sd -remove "TM1 Service"
where "TM1 Service is the name of an existing TM1 service
or: sc delete "TM1 Service"

removing the TM1 Admin services
sc delete tm1admsdx64
sc delete TM1ExcelService

Store any type of files in the Applications folder

The Applications folder is great but limited to views and xls files, well not anymore.
The following explains how to make available just any file in your Applications folders.

1. create a file called myfile.blob in }Applications\ on your TM1 server
it should contain the following 3 lines:
ENTRYNAME=tutorial.pdf
ENTRYTYPE=blob
ENTRYREFERENCE=TM!:///blob/public/.\}Externals\tutorial.pdf

2. place your file, tutorial.pdf in this case, in }Externals or whatever path you defined in ENTRYREFERENCE

Quick recovery from data loss

A luser just ran that hazardous process or spreading on the production server and as a result trashed loads of data on your beloved server.
You cannot afford to take the server down to get yesterday's backup and they need the data now...
Fear not, the transaction log is here to save the day.

Monitoring users logins

A quick way to monitor users login/logout on your system is to log the STATUS value (i.e. ACTIVE or blank) from the }ClientProperties cube.

View->Display Control Objects
Cubes -rightclick- Security Assignments
browse down to the }ClientProperties cube and make sure the Logging box is checked
tm1server -rightclick- View Transaction Log
Select Cubes: }ClientProperties

Monitoring chores by email

Using the script in the Send Email Attachments article, it is possible to set it up to automatically email the Admin when a process in a chore fails.

Here is how to proceed:

  
1. Setup admin email process
First we create a process to add an email field to the ClientProperties cube and add an email to forward to the Admin.

1.1 create a new process
---- Advanced/Parameters Tab, insert this parameter:
AdminEmail / String / / "Admin Email?"
