GroupsCreationLimit

Sets the maximum number of groups that can be created in one IBM® Cognos® TM1® server session.

Parameter type: optional, static

The GroupsCreationLimit parameter accepts a value of any positive integer. The maximum number of groups for GroupsCreationLimit is 65535. The maximum number of groups that can exist on a server is 65535. If you do not use the parameter, the default number of groups is 20.

For example, to create 50 groups per server session, enter the following line:

GroupsCreationLimit=50
Tip: When Cognos TM1 allocates memory to store security information, the server calculates the amount of memory required based in part on the value of GroupsCreationLimit. In some circumstances when your Cognos TM1 model is large and the GroupsCreationLimit parameter is set to an exceptionally high value, the server will attempt to allocate memory beyond the available capacity on the server. The Cognos TM1 server will fail to load and will issue a Server Out of Memory message. To avoid this situation, set GroupsCreationLimit to a value that accurately reflects the maximum number of user groups you may need to create during a server session.

The GroupsCreationLimit value is not enforced when you create groups with the AddGroup function in TurboIntegrator.
