Can we convert a Transformer Cube to TM1 cube

[bloggerman]

Is it possible to have a transformer cube and replicate everything exactly in a TM1 cube?

[MFGF]

Probably, yes.  It's not a conversion process though - you will need to recreate the dimensions and the cube from scratch in TM1 - typically using Turbo Integrator.  Be aware that TM1 does not include the concept of automatic relative time categories that get created by Transformer, so you will need to code these manually.

Are there any migration tools to port Power Play Transformer models and cubes to TM1?

[cognostechie]

NO

[MFGF]

Sadly not.  It would be great if there were!

Currently I am working on a Proof of Concept for an automated process
to convert Cognos PowerPlay models and cubes into TM1. The software is
using Cognos API for Transformer and TM1. Imagine you have a reporting
solution with PowerPlay cubes and Report Studio reports. And then with a magic
software you can have these PP cubes converted to TM1 and the reports
switched to new cubes.

I was wondering if you have ever encountered a project/request for
conversion of the report datasources from PowerPlay to TM1?

Do you see any value for your group to have a software like this?

Or it is more feasible to work on automation for conversion PowerPlay
cubes to MS SSAS...

Any Trail Version? Want to try it out with a Sample Powercube and convert it to TM1

A nearly 4-year-old post from a user who has not been active since 2012? I would not hold my breath waiting for an answer.

If he had actually finished such a product, I think by now he would either have a lot of happy customers and a lot of money, or IBM would have bought him out. I'd be happy either way!  ;D

Unfortunately nothing much had been actually implemented.
We could not find any customer willing to chip in at that time.

To Bad, It would have been nice to see if that was working.
Especially if there are costumers that in the future would want to get rid of Powercubes and Turn to TM1

Don't try to eliminate the need of consulting !  >:( There is no need to having an automated tool to do the conversion !!  ;D

Or..........make your consulting tasks easier, faster but at the same rate? ;)
