  • 1.  PVU for Planning Analytics Workspace and Windows Server 2019

    Posted Mon December 30, 2019 09:43 AM

    1. Is Planning Analytics Workspace PVU-based or User-based licensing? Is there any licensing restriction on amount/type of CPU that can be allocated to this server (if this server is dedicated to Planning Analytics Workspace only) and whether the server is physical or virtual? It is impacting our upgrading plan. We already purchased enough users for Planning Analytics Workspace but not sure if we need to put it with Planning Analytics Local on the same server or not. And it is very very confusing by reading the following links https://www-03.ibm.com/software/sla/sladb.nsf/lilookup/3056D2369287490F8525841E004BDE9E?OpenDocument and https://www-03.ibm.com/software/sla/sladb.nsf/lilookup/646ACC12EEC9382C8525843F006ADB8D?OpenDocument

    Please help to clarify in details.

    2. Will Planning Analytics Workspace support Windows Server 2019 very soon? Any specific date? I know Planning Analytics Local is already supported on this platform.

    Hi Morgan,

    I can confirm that Planning Analytics Workspace is NOT currently supported on Windows Server 2019.  It's supported on Windows 2016, RHEL 7, and Cent OS only.  No specific date for Server 2019 support, but it is on our roadmap.  There is some development work to make this happen (it's not just a lack of testing on our end).

    In regards to the question about PVU, I'm pretty sure the answer is that only PVUs are counted for the system(s) running the TM1 databases.  I suggest reaching out to our sales team to confirm.

    Hello Morgan. PVU licencing only applies to TM1 SERVER (the DATA TIER). Workspace Server (FRONT TIER) is free of PVU licensing. Enjoy your migration 👍
