    Hi,

    We are evaluating to migrate our on-prem PA to IBM PA on Cloud 2.0.9.12. We were told that Tm1RUnTI (trigger TI in child instance from master TM1 instance) will not be available on Cloud and also, we can't use ExecuteCommand TI function to call any Windows batch scripts to do any basic operations like emailing, housekeeping etc.

    Please let us know if there is any alternate way available on the cloud for the above.

    Hi,

    I think the information you were given relates to PA aaS (i.e. V12 on cloud)

    For my customers on V11 using PA on Cloud we definitely use both TM1RunTI and ExecuteCommand.

    The only consideration in the near future with the rich tier environment being deprecated is running the encryption tool to encrypt passwords to be used with the non-interactive account for TM1RunTI.

    I can confirm that TM1RunTi is still supported and can be run from Planning Analytics on Cloud.  It will continue to work even with the upcoming deprecation of the rich client tier systems.  

    As a reminder, if the use case is to start one or more TI processes from a TI process (to run asynchronously) from the same TM1 database then you should use the RunProcess TI function.  Using ExecuteCommand and TM1RunTi together is only required when running a TI process on a different TM1 database that the database using the ExecuteCommand TI function.  In TM1 v12 it's very easy to run a TI process on a remote database with the new ExecuteHTTPRequest TI function (instead of ExecuteCommand and TM1RunTi).

    George, thanks for pointing out the detail about the tm1crypt.exe functionality.
