    Hello

    We use the ProportionSpreadToZeroCells=F parameter to disable equal spread to the empty cells. We currently do this by directly editing the tm1s.cfg file. We have not seen this parameter available in database administration in PAW. If direct access to tm1s.cfg file will no longer be available in the Planning Analytics Engine new version, how can we configure this parameter?

    HI Jose,
    You can already manage this via the REST API and would need to do so in the future.

    I manage this through Excel calling the REST API via VBA but you could do this via TM1py using update_static_configuration or via Postman e.g.


    In TM1py, you could execute something like this:
    d = {
          "Modelling": {
              "Spreading": {
                "ProportionSpreadToZeroCells": False
              }
          }
    }
    response=tm1.server.update_static_configuration(d)

    Two questions related to one thing: Auto-complete (Intellisense) in TI process editor in the workbench quality of life improvements. 

    1. When using Tab to accept an auto-complete suggestion the cursor jumps to the end of the line instead of just to the end of the auto-completed word. The modeller then has to use the arrows or mouse to return to just after the auto-completed word. Can it be considered as a quality of life improvement to have the cursor only jump to the end of the auto-completed phrase? This happens when adding a function in an if statement and sometimes when filling in parameters to functions in a TI.
    2. Is context-aware auto-complete for typing a process name in an executeprocess() command a possible feature? Currently, when auto-complete is invoked it provides the complete list of processes and the modeller has to scroll through the list to find the relevant process.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Couple of questions for the AMA:

    1. When will more detailed formatting options be available with the new cube viewer/exploration in PAW i.e. individual row and column formatting (not condition based) and attribute based formatting etc. Hoping to be able to produce presentable reports without using Excel or CA.
    2. Can there be (or is there already) a option to hide the "Target Selection" toggle in an PAW cube view- can be quite distracting when not required in view mode.
    Thanks

    Hi Chris,
    There is no option to hide the "Target Selection" toggle yet, hovever the desigers are working on more flexible UI for it.
    There were more formatting options released in PA 2.0.76 for the cube viewer that are not based on the conditions, please check it here.
    Best Regards,

    Hello,
    In PA Cloud non-production environment are the users counted along with the users accessing the prod environment?  For example we may need a contractor to develop something for us in non-prod, do we need to purchase a modeler license for him or can we just make him a modeler in non-prod, and remove his access upon completion of the work.

    Hey Glen,
    Yes, you would need a license for a contractor working on a non-production environment. You have to invite to the primary environment and then after the user has accepted, you can add non-production environments.
