5 Ways to Be More Productive as a TM1 Administrator
Pulse gives TM1 administrators a set of powerful capabilities that directly improve day-to-day productivity and enable better outcomes for business users.
1. Be Proactive
Don't wait for users to report issues — set up Pulse Alerts to notify you before problems impact users. Pulse can alert you when:
A process or chore takes longer than its historical average
Data fails to reconcile between cubes
Memory, CPU, or disk thresholds are exceeded
A TM1 instance crashes or becomes unreachable
With proactive alerts, you are always the first to know about an issue.
2. Know All Possible Impacts Before Making Changes
Pulse's documentation and relationship diagrams give you a complete visual map of your TM1 model, including all dependencies between objects. Before making a change, you can review exactly which other objects will be affected — preventing unintended side effects and reducing the risk of breaking something in a complex model.
3. Be Confident Before a New Release
Never forget a TM1 object — Pulse's dependency engine automatically includes all related objects in every migration package.
Review changes before applying them — Pulse shows you exactly what lines of code will change in the target instance before you execute the package, so there are no surprises.
4. Easily Roll Back Changes
Pulse tracks every change made to TM1 objects automatically. If something goes wrong after a change, you can use the Rollback feature to instantly restore any object to a previous version — without needing to restart TM1 or manually re-apply changes.
5. Improve Testing Procedures
Business users often struggle to find time for proper testing before a new release. Pulse helps by tracking test user activity during UAT — you can see exactly which features were tested, by whom, and when, ensuring that testing procedures were properly followed before a release goes to production.
