Planning Analytics setup
Enable TM1 REST APIs on the TM1 Server. See TMI REST API Installation and configuration.
Cube dimension order
Versions earlier than TM1 11.4
For best performance, do not combine string and numeric data in a single cube. However, if the cube does include both string and numeric data, the string elements must be in the last dimension
when the cube is created. Reordering dimensions later is ignored.
Version TM1 11.4 or later
The default setting in Planning Analytics for cube creation is current. This setting might cause errors or unexpected results when you use the Planning Analytics connection. Instead,
set the interaction property use_creation_order value to true.
