Business Intelligence: Insight On Demand TM1 8.2
TM1 v8: Major new functionality • Administration • Dynamic Subset & Views • Replication Views and Subsets • Engine Overhaul • New Dimension Editor • Rules Tracer • Deferred Updates • Drill Through • TI Improvements • Security Revamp including cell-level UI • 64 bit Solaris and 64 bit Windows (8.1.1)
TM1 v8: Major new functionality continued… • Re-designed Installation • Integrated Login / LDAP Support • Consolidation Holds • Dimension Order Optimization • Continue, ISLEAF Functions plus Subsets in Rules • TM1 Web • Data Spreading
TM1 8: Administration Objective: Provide a series of utilities to improve the management and administration of an application • Simple messaging & disconnect Clients • Browse Change Log; back out changes • Browse Message Log • Performance Statistics • Optimize Dimension Order
TM1 8: Dynamic Subsets and Views Objective: Provide advanced user functionality in working with TM1 • Dimension subsets defined as an MDX expression, rather than a fixed list • MDX recorder to help in definitions • Dimension based subsets (children of Europe) • Value based subsets based on views (top 10 etc.) • Available in cube viewer and ISB
TM1 8: Replication Improvements Objective: Improve replication and synchronization to include more of the objects on the servers • Support of Views and Subsets • UI improvements
TM1 8: Engine Overhaul Objective: minimize the server RAM requirements • Currently the activation of feeders takes 8 bytes per cell on loading the server • Now feeders will take 1 bit per cell on server loading – a 64 fold reduction in RAM • Memory will grow to 8 bytes per cell for every calculated cell actually used
TM1 8: New Dimension Editor Objective: Improve ability to work with large dimensions • Subset editor navigation & selection • Element Order control
TM1 8: Rules Tracer Objective: To ease rule building and improve user understanding • Facility to display how a cell is calculated: • Rule formula that applies • cells that are used in the calculation • Rule developers can check the application and validity of rule formulas • Users can understand how a value was arrived at • Additional feeder tracers help in developing and validating feeder rules.
TM1 8: Deferred Updates Objective: Significantly improves concurrent read/write performance • Collects updates in RAM at the server prior to commitment • Perspectives automatically defers DBSends • Turbo Integrator can batch updates and apply in”one shot”
TM1 8: Drill Through Objective: Provide the ability to navigate straight from a cube cell to another cube view or to a relational table • Controlled and managed by the server • Extensions to TI • Relational grid in ISB, Cube Viewer display results
TM1 8: Turbo Integrator Improvements Objective: Provide even better data acquisition and management capabilities for enterprise integration • Processes now can be assigned Read access to non-Admin users • Processes may be reordered inside of chores • The same process can be used multiple times in a chore • TI process now displays a view of the data being processed • Users can now save incomplete processes • Better error handling; minor errors are skipped and put in a log • New functions include: DimensionElementPrincipalName NumberToString StringToNumber CellsUpdateable CellPutProportionalSpread OnMinorErrorDoItemSkip • New DNLEV worksheet function
Security Revamp • Rationalize Security Organization • Security Refresh • Cell Level Security
TM1 64 bit Objective: Effectively tackle much larger applications; “out-ROLAP the ROLAPs” • Removes the current 3MB (NT) 4MB (Unix) hard memory limit • Theoretically unlimited memory • Only limited by the amount of RAM • HPUX 11, Solaris and Windows 64 supported (8.1.1) • Itanium chip based as required
Re-designed Installation Objective: Re-designed for ease of use and reduced in size for faster downloads. • Standard and custom installation options • Installation program help • Help system is available in printed form on web site
Integrated Login / LDAP Support Objective: Allows an Applix administrator to use Windows network authentication to control access to Applix TM1 • Move user and group info from LDAP server to TM1 • ETLDAP utility supplied • Once you log in using one Applix product, no further challenges are to the user are issued.
Consolidation Holds Objective: The ability to hold consolidations while adjusting underlying numbers. • Described in the TM1 Client guide in detail. • Extends TM1 data entry flexibility
Dimension Order Optimization Objective: Improve memory utilization by re-ordering TM1 dimensions after cubes are built • Improves memory utilization • Eliminates dimension ordering guesses before cubes are built • Eliminates requirement to revise TM1 rules and TM1 Excel reports
Continue, ISLEAF Functions plus Subsets in Rules Objective: Enhances TM1 rule capabilities • Continue Function allows subsequent rule with the same Area definition to be executed. • ISLEAF Function returns 1 or 0 if a specified cell is a leaf cell. • Subsets in Rules facilitates single Area definition.
TM1 Web Objective: Enables TM1 administrators to publish sliced data to the web for viewing and editing by other TM1 users. • Details in forthcoming product demonstration by Greg Wilson – TM1 product manager.
Data Spreading Objective: Enables you to enter or edit numeric data in a cube view using one of several predefined distribution methods. • Details in forthcoming product demonstration by Greg Wilson – TM1 product manager.
