IBM Planning Analytics provides the functionality of Data Spreading at Consolidations to users for faster planning and analysis in TM1 Architect, TM1 Perspectives, IBM PAW and TM1 Web. You can evenly distribute a value across a range of cells or increment all values in a range of cells by a percentage. The problem comes in when there are a greater number of users involved in Data Entry, and if the Dimensions in the Cube have more elements and intersections. For instance, if multiple users perform Data Spreading at the consolidated level at the same time, this slows down the overall ...

With the recent update from TM1 to Planning Analytics, IBM has introduced PAW (Planning Analytics Workspace) which can be utilized to Develop Dashboard, Reports, Graphs, Workbooks, Views etc., as per any individual’s Requirements. But if these Workbooks and Views are accidently deleted, then it will be impossible to restore them unless you have a backup of those objects. Also, IBM does not take backups of these Books and Views developed in PAW. Hence its necessary for us to have a backup procedure and Restore them if required. To perform this backup and Restore activity, make sure you have ...

Renaming the element name – SwapAliasWithPrincipalName In Realtime Scenarios, sometimes we get the requirement to correct/update the Principal element name(s) in a Dimension. This would relatively be easy if the dimension is being used in one cube. In case where the dimension is used in multiple cubes, updating element name(s) without affecting the data of all the cubes, is a bit challenging. Either we export data of the cube and change the element name(s), then import the data and validate cube before and after the element change. Or deploy the Bedrock process, which requires the reboot of ...
