New TI Datasource - json/xml/Web Service

Nowadays many applications are exporting data via web service (format could be json or xml), Planning Analytics has no options out of the box to support these type of data sources.

At the moment, either using TM1py, or get some developer to write some applications to import data into Planning Analytics, which is not ideal, and also less control for Planning Analytics administrators.

    This idea is no longer under consideration. We are still planning on creating new ODATA endpoints for use by ETL services.

    Changed status of Idea to 'Under review'. Although we are not planning on adding support for JDBC or other data sources directly into TM1 (for use with TI processes) we are looking at better support for ETL tools that can leverage a wider range of data sources. This will likely require new ODATA API endpoints in TM1 for loading and extracting leaf level values.

    This would be extremely useful as there are many interface requirements nowadays e.g. to SAP and other web services where reading SOAP, XML etc. would reduce dependencies on 3rd parties, 3rd party tools, middleware etc. etc.

    You could use the REST API to accomplish the interfacing but this requires additional development, orchestration etc. etc.

    A direct datasource would definitely add huge value to the product.
