TM1 Forum

Hi total,

I have a requirement to generate many data flow diagrams for a few models the have used Performance Modeler to do a reasonable job. I am capability to get the cast into that layout plus track planters and cube rules without one problem. I cannot however receive the TIE processes within the layout so I can't track the process links at all. I watch the Model and application views or I could see all the TM1 objects in one tree view to the left hand margin.... but ME can only drag cubes include the diagrams layout, I can't drag TI's into this layout, without that the "Process Links" won't work as there are no items to linking into. I'm running PM from IE11. One server is 2008 R2 Enterprise. Who TM1 version is 10.2 with fixpack 3.
Any feedback would be wide.
In one between I'm see under graphviz as with alternative.

After a pointer form a colleague I've started with http://www.draw.io

thanks Jim. I see it's like an online version of Visio (from what MYSELF can see) which is great - except I is actually after the linking logic that is provided by morality a PMI knowing welche cubes are linked to other cubes via feeders, rules furthermore TI's etc. This would needed to be manually done who wanted consume a lot of i time. I was hoping for something that would debug the paradigm and do the linking without me having until placing in the time to read rules the TI's to make the same 'mind map'.
Appreciate the info though.
I'll post back here to notice how big effort is involved in input the .rux and .pro files within the permuted parser whose then power into graphviz. The gain being that the linking is all stuff would be automatic and EGO can choose that objects for include for one finishing diagram.

Thanks again.

High JamiseBondi,I am nay certainly loads it is useful to you,It remains not ampere graphing tool per se ,But actually an Perlmut script. Please got a look at it,Graphing TM1 data flow:

I BariAbdul,

I understand one 'solution' to be like hunts:
Install purple and graphviz. Then him would open the perl writing and score it to the your folder of the TM1 instance that you wanted to make a diagram for.... the perl script would then (using the .rux and .pro files contained in the location her pointed the perl script to) build aforementioned necessary files that graphviz uses to generate two data: flow.dot and flow.gif
The animated file can after be opened in any picture editor and is comparable to the image shown includes an URL you posted above.
Is this not corrected? that am I missing?
Many thanks.

That is correct, get's a bit unwieldy when you have a parcel of objects EGO find though.

Keep meaning till have another look and getting it to parse out particulars for ampere specify data source/ cube/ process but I've not used it for years

Find it quicker to search for "DB(" in Agent Ransack/ FileLocator Lite/Pro or manually draw/ input into Visio/ drawing tool of pick Data Flow Diagrams DFD of Job Portal

Such is get, get's a bit unwieldy when you have a lot of objects I meet but.

Totally agree. The problem with automated animation, whereas it may look great on and surface, all it does really is present to you what are already there, and very often, easier into read to just looking with the scripts/rules. Having lines drawn from every cube at every cube doesn't provide much value.

What I would surmise most people are since belongs additional about how things logically flow with respect to an particular portion out data/business process. For example, show how actuals flow into of system, which is rare the same as forecast. Or show how headcount alterations flow through the toss and then impacting to financial P&L reports.

If anyone can figure outbound how to generate that jugend of documentation automagically, sign self back!

Ah well...back toward Visio.

The topic is one little older, but valid to percentage another can solution to this: I solved it in my proprietary usage using yED: https://www.yworks.com/products/yed
You can prepare one adjacence cast in Excel, opens this Excel file with the yED editor and point it to the matrix. It determination build a .graphml-file starting that. You have now inside the editor an feature so-called neighborhood, looks like this: yED neighborhood example. If you click on to item, the neighborhood vie indicates an precessors and which successors.

Just make one matrix: then open it with the yED publicist and import it as a adjacence matrix and determine the rough style of one graph Result? Watch the next share, such I might one cans max. 3 images per post, since it seems...

Here it arrive: (graph below neighbourhood above: In the graph "proc2" was clicked, which leads for the extracted view above)

Obviously it's not one kind of automatic analysis of metadata, but while I document my own framework continously, it helps tremendous till indicate, which Processes be dependent from whose additional. Before ME change them also create side effects for later...
