New features in IBM Cognos TM1 version 10.2.2

These new features are in the core TM1® software in version 10.2.2.

Localizing your model

You can localize TM1 objects on your TM1 server so that users can view object names in their current locale without requiring any configuration

See Localizing your model in the IBM Cognos TM1 Developer Guide.

64-bit Architect and Perspectives now available

TM1 Architect and TM1 Perspectives are now 64-bit. TM1 Perspectives can be run in the 64-bit versions of Microsoft Excel 2007, 2010, and 2013. These options are installed by default and become available based on your operating system and machine type.

Use Java to create and run TurboIntegrator processes

You can now use Java™ as a scripting language to create and run IBM Cognos TM1 TurboIntegrator processes. You create TurboIntegrator processes with Java and use Java libraries to further expand capability of IBM® Cognos® TM1.

See Java support in TurboIntegrator in the IBM Cognos TM1 TurboIntegrator Guide.

SaveDataAll and CubeSaveData can now use concurrent end-user activity

In version 10.2.2, SaveDataAll and CubeSaveDataAll now enable concurrent user read/write activity to serialized cubes. In the following scenarios, concurrency prevents usual lock contention from occurring.

New ODBC proxy feature for Microsoft Windows 64-bit TM1 servers

The ODBC proxy feature makes 32-bit ODBC DSN available in TM1 TurboIntegrator ODBC processes. This feature is useful if a 64-bit driver is not available.

See EnableODBCproxy in the IBM Cognos TM1 Installation Guide.
