Tool to Document TM1 Processes


We have an inherited data warehouse with a lot of processes and no documentation. Has anyone used or knows about a software tool that can automatically document all our TM1 processes?

Thanks


Solution

  • I'm aware of one person (a {cough} friend of mine) who has written an admin helper tool which includes a process documenter using the API, but it's not available for general release. It is certainly possible to do it, but it will take you some time. A lot of time if you don't already know the API.

    If you want to avoid the time and get a bunch of other features into the bargain you could look at a commercial product called Cubewise Pulse. I use it, not so much for the TI documenter (though it has a very powerful feature there as well, including showing parameters, variables, etc) but as a replacement for TM1 Top / the version 10 admin tools that replaced TM1 Top. In fact it has full model documentation features.

    The downside? It's not free, and it's not all that cheap. But it is very useful if you have the budget.
