We are excited to release the TM1py Post Training Insight, Synchronising hierarchies with TM1py.
The Problem
In large organisations that employ IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) for years, you often find multiple dedicated smaller TM1 instances (= models) instead of one monolithic TM1 model used by everyone in the organisation.
Having multiple TM1 instances is not a problem in itself. In fact it helps in many ways:
– scaling models horizontally over multiple machines ensures more resources (CPU, RAM) per instance and better performance for end-users
– reduces restart times and guarantees local impact of a (god forbid) server crash
– it helps with separation of concerns and laying our responsibilities from a development and admin perspective
However, laying out your TM1 environment “horizontally” comes with unique challenges.
– You need to guarantee that certain shared hierarchies are in sync. For instance, there must only be one CoA rollup in the organization.
– Especially shared dimensions that are edited by power users within TM1 can be challenging
The Solution
TM1py makes it easy to spot differences and synchronize dimensions between TM1 instances. Here is a sample that determines if a dimension is in sync in 6 lines of code.

Meet Renato, Cubewise Consultant. With a background in business and finance, his introduction to TM1 came during an internship at a pharmaceutical company. Since then, he has been captivated by the possibilities TM1 offers and holds great hope for its enduring future.
In this episode of “15 minutes with..” Jon Lee sits down with Marius Wirtz, the mastermind behind TM1py.
Jon delved into Marius’s TM1 journey, and this time, the spotlight wasn’t on TM1py, for which Marius is widely recognised. Instead, it was an opportunity to discover Marius’s initial introduction to TM1, what initially piqued his interest in the platform, and how this led him down the path to creating TM1py. This episode has something to offer for everyone, whether you’re a TM1 enthusiast or simply curious about Marius’s TM1 journey. We hope you thoroughly enjoy the video.
