Despite the small increment in the version number (from 9.5.1 to 9.5.2), this release has significant improvements including changes to the database locking mechanism, multi-user access and parallel processing. These changes will especially bring benefits to customers with a high number of input users.
If you would like to understand how your organisation could benefit from these new features, Focus will be pleased to assist.
TM1 9.5.2 provides many new benefits including:
- Parallel interaction
A new TM1 object locking approach that increases user throughput by lessening situations that result in write transactions that are "blocked" by concurrent read and write transactions.
- Data reservation
A new TM1 cube level configuration that provides the ability for users to gain "exclusive write access" to designated data slices of a cube, preventing other users with write access updating the reserved data.
- Multi-node edit
A new TM1 Contributor capability that provides contributors and approvers the ability to perform write back on data representing more than one node in an approval hierarchy.
- TM1 Top
Incremental capabilities to existing TM1Top that provide operational administrators insight into sandbox and job queue server activity.
- TM1 Widget with IBM Cognos Business Insight conformance
TM1 Widgets support a complete set of toolbar capabilities on the IBM Cognos Business Insight toolbar. Prior releases of TM1 require the native TM1Web toolbar in the body of the Widget.
- Enhanced job queuing
Job queues are processed by multiple threads when used in conjunction with parallel interaction.
- Conformance upgrade for TM1 Package Connector
The TM1 Package Connector includes conformance for IBM Cognos Business Intelligence V10.1.0.
- The TM1 9.5.2 client supports Excel 2010
