RELATED IDEAS

Introduce a native parameter to proactively warn or block users from executing memory-heavy view creations at the user-view level before calculation begins

Why is it useful: This enhancement would prevent catastrophic server crashes caused by users inadvertently creating massive Cartesian products. Currently, dragging highly granular dimensions (like thousands of serial numbers) into an unsuppressed view forces the TM1 engine to calculate every possible intersection, which can consume over 60GB of RAM in minutes.

Who would benefit: TM1 Administrators will benefit from increased server stability, and end-users will experience fewer system outages and application freezes.

How it should work: IBM Planning Analytics currently lacks native parameter settings to cap memory overconsumption at the user-view level. We propose adding a feature to automatically block users from creating views that exceed a certain number of elements, or a configuration to force a calculation warning pop-up automatically before the end-user click on the refresh option.
