IBM Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW) 2.0.105 / 2.1.12

From streamlined debugging in the TI editor to more flexible pick list configurations and deeper TM1 Server log insight, version 2.0.105 / 2.1.12 enhances control and clarity for developers and administrators alike.

Details

  • Version: 2.0.105 (Planning Analytics 2.0) / 2.1.12 (Planning Analytics 2.1)
  • Released: June 25, 2025

Version 2.0.105 introduces a suite of enhancements that improve day-to-day modelling, debugging, and control. Here’s a snapshot of just a few updates included in this release:

Configure empty pick list values

Designers now have more control over how empty values are presented in pick lists within cube views. The default --None-- label can be replaced with a custom string or removed entirely, providing greater flexibility over the dropdown experience without affecting how users clear cells.

Hover to inspect variables in the TI debugger

Debugging TurboIntegrator processes is faster and more intuitive. During a debug session, simply hover over a variable in the code editor to view its current value. There is no need to switch panels or scan the variable list. This inline visibility helps reduce context-switching and improves developer efficiency.

Enhanced TM1 Server log visibility (Planning Analytics as a Service only)

The TM1 Server log viewer now includes a More link for each entry, revealing additional context right where it’s needed. Whether you’re diagnosing an issue or reviewing system behaviour, this change reduces reliance on external log files and makes troubleshooting more accessible, especially in cloud environments.

IBM Planning Analytics Workspace version 2.0.105 (20105), also known as 2.1.12 (2112), was released on June 25, 2025.

What’s new in books and Reporting.

Version details are available from the Title bar. Click your username, select About Planning Analytics, then click Runtime Versions to view the version for Workspace and the spreadsheet service.

Picklists provide greater control over how empty values are displayed with options available in the Formats Manager. Under Data Area, Data Entry, you can replace the default none label with a custom string or remove the empty value option from the dropdown entirely.

Drill Views displays the full toolbar and includes the Set editor, aligning their functionality with the source cube view. Features such as zero suppression, export, save, sandbox and member selection remain available. This ensures a consistent experience and makes it easier to explore details without compromising functionality or control.

Storage configuration for OpenShift deployments is streamlined with automatic handling of these key environments variables. These adjustments simplify maintenance and reduce manual configuration efforts. This applies to the local deployments of PAW.

Let’s have a look at what’s new in modeling.

The Process Editor includes a setting that controls the default data type for new parameters. Developers can choose between numeric or string. The setting helps streamline TI process development by aligning defaults with typical usage. The Table Integrated debugger displays variable values on hover during a debug session, simply move the cursor over any variable in the script to see its current inline value. This complements the existing debug panel by providing faster in context access to values while stepping through code.

The Database Explorer shows the number of elements in each hierarchy within a dimension, giving a quick view of hierarchy size and structure without opening them individually. This element count appears alongside each hierarchy when a dimension is selected.

The Database Explorer shows the data source type for each turbo integrator process, such as none, Cubeview or ODBC. This makes it easier to identify and organize processes based on their input sources for faster troubleshooting and process management.

In the modeling workbench, the TM1 server log viewer displays extended information for each log entry, helping administrators and developers understand server activity more efficiently. Each entry includes a more link that reveals additional context without switching tools or referencing external log files. This enhancement improves visibility into runtime behavior and simplifies troubleshooting.

Credential fields in Drive Explorer support Web browser password management. This allows browsers to prompt users to save their file, share, username and password, reducing repetitive entry when accessing local files. No changes are required in the Drive Explorer configuration as credential storage behavior depends on the browser’s own settings and permissions. What’s new in Administration.

REST API session timeouts can be configured directly in the Planning Analytics Administration interface using the HTTPSessionTimeoutMinutes parameter. This setting controls how long REST API sessions remain active before timing out, which is especially useful for integrations that require persistent connections to the TM1 database.

Two memory control parameters for MDX queries are available in the Planning Analytics Administration interface. MaximumGlobalQueryMemorySizeMB sets the maximum memory that all concurrent MDX queries can use. If exceeded queries are terminated, the default value is 0, which is disabled, and MaximumSingleQueryMemorySizeMB defines the memory limits for an individual MDX query. If the threshold is exceeded, the query is terminated, the default is set to zero, which is disabled. These parameters help maintain system stability by limiting the memory impact of complex or long running queries.

Lifecycle Management snapshots supports a maximum size of 100 megabytes, which increases flexibility when working with larger assets. While the 100 asset limits per snapshot remains, this update allows for more complex deployments without needing to split content into multiple files.

And that’s the last feature for this version.
