We've worked with a lot of enterprise TM1 environments where model complexity can be a blocker. 

We came across a tool called Omni that visualizes TM1 models, and it's been surprisingly effective. It's designed for IBM Planning Analytics environments and runs fully on-prem no cloud..

What stood out:

• Most teams don't actually know how many rules are running across their cubes

• Duplicate dimensions and disconnected hierarchies tend to go unnoticed

• There's no easy way to trace how changes cascade across the model

Omni reads the TM1 model and renders a live map of cubes, rules, processes and attributes. You get a complete view in one interface.

It's been useful for:

• Speeding up onboarding for new TM1 developers

• Auditing rule logic before making changes

• Explaining models to business users without opening Architect

Definitely worth a look if your TM1 model feels like a bit of a black box.

Hi Lauren

If you're looking for something that builds on that visibility and adds enterprise-grade monitoring, auditing, and governance, I'd suggest taking a look at Pulse for TM1.

Here's where Pulse adds more value, especially in larger or regulated environments:

• Change Tracking & Version Control: Pulse automatically tracks every change to rules, processes, dimensions, and security. You get full version history, rollback options, and audit trail - critical for compliance and team accountability.

• Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts: Pulse actively monitors your TM1 environment. It alerts you to process failures, performance bottlenecks, and unauthorised changes in real time.

• Performance Dashboards: Pulse includes dashboards that show user activity, query times, and server health-helping you optimise performance and understand how the model is being used.

• Dependency Mapping with Impact Analysis: Pulse goes deeper with dependency trees and impact analysis, helping you understand how changes ripple through the model before you make them.

• Deployment Automation: Pulse supports DevOps workflows with deployment tools that let you promote changes between environments safely and consistently.

• Hybrid Support: Pulse works across on-prem and cloud environments, making it future-proof for evolving infrastructure.

In short, if Omni helps you see your TM1 model, Pulse helps you manage, monitor, and protect it. For teams scaling TM1 across departments or needing stronger governance, Pulse is the better long-term fit.

Thanks

That's exactly the problem we set out to solve with SPACE.

Unlike any other tools, SPACE is fully integrated into Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW) - there's no need to switch between applications. It runs directly in the same interface your developers and business users already use, and supports both on-premise and cloud environments with equal ease. In fact, you can connect to multiple IBM Local and Cloud environments, compare them side-by-side and easily move your TM1 objects and data between them.

Here's what makes SPACE stand out:

✅ Complete Model Visibility & Editable Documentation

SPACE generates an interactive diagram of your TM1 model - including cubes, rules, processes, chores, dimensions, and hierarchies. What's unique is that you can edit and contribute to the diagram and documentation, and SPACE intelligently merges your changes with updates from the TM1 server. This means your team can finally keep technical and business documentation in sync, in one place.

✅ Audit, Transaction, and Server Log Search

SPACE offers the most powerful solution for managing TM1 logs, enabling you to search across billions of records in milliseconds. You can store and analyze years of Audit, Transaction, and Message logs, giving both admins and auditors unprecedented visibility into user activity, data changes, and system events. You can even provide granular access to non-admin users, allowing them to view the logs they need. 

✅ Embedded Python + Jupyter Integration

SPACE lets you run Python scripts directly from within PAW, with full support for integrating with TM1 and any external systems (via API, SQL, files, etc.). This is ideal for automation, machine learning, custom reporting, or data science - all securely managed within your TM1 ecosystem.

✅ Git-Based Lifecycle Management for TM1

SPACE offers the most advanced TM1 Lifecycle Manager available:

• Side-by-side comparison of any two models (dev/test/prod/etc)

• Release management with full Git history and traceability

• CI/CD automation across all object types - including cube data

• Visual diffing of rules, processes, dimensions, subsets, and even security

You can confidently promote changes, roll back releases, and collaborate across teams with Git as your single source of truth - something no other TM1 tool offers across the full object spectrum.

Built for Enterprise Teams

SPACE was designed with real-world TM1 governance, automation, and collaboration in mind. Whether you're onboarding new developers, preparing for an audit, rolling out changes across environments, or enabling business users with model transparency - SPACE gives you the visibility, control, and performance you need.

And Coming Soon: AI

We're currently working on AI-powered features in SPACE that will fundamentally change how you work with IBM Planning Analytics - from explaining rule logic and TI processes, to generating documentation and assisting you with TM1 optimization and deployments.

In short, SPACE brings everything you need to get the most out of your IBM Planning Analytics investment - all in one place. From automated model documentation and server monitoring, to advanced log analysis, Git-integrated TM1 releases, and embedded Python scripting, SPACE delivers a complete, enterprise-grade toolkit - fully built into Planning Analytics Workspace.
