Microsoft Power BI, Qlik and Tableau.

No. You can install DataFusion where you TM1 server is located. In fact, you can elect to store TM1 on any local server you choose.

DataFusion supports all versions of Windows Server.

No. DataFusion is a lightweight app and occupies less than 100 Mb.

Both. The features of DataFusion work 100% across all instances of TM1.

No. DataFusion pulls data directly from TM1 only.

No. The beauty of DataFusion is it simply picks up and drops the data discretely from TM1 to Power BI in real-time.

Yes. However, whether you are running a cloud or on-premise instance of TM1, you will need to host a small application on a local server of your choice before DataFusion will work properly.

Yes. DataFusion is free for 60 days. If you decide to continue using DataFusion, you can switch to a paid subscription to avoid a DataFusion service outage.

It takes one hour to setup the free subscription. We will host an online meeting with you and assist you to install DataFusion on a local server. Switching to the paid version takes even less time. We simply ask you to replace old license file with the new one on the server and voila!

DataFusion helps to create or generate a link and a user can use this link to pull data from TM1 cubes to PowerBI. DataFusion does not keep a track of all the links it has generated.

The sync is not real-time. Sync can be setup to occur at regular intervals from Power BI. Or alternatively the sync can be manually triggered from within Power BI.

When a user clicks the "Refresh" manually from within Power Bi, a pop-up message will display how many records are extracted from the TM1. For auto refresh there is no mechanism to tell the user that the refresh has completed successfully

Yes. Support will reply to you within one business day. Historically, once DataFusion is working on your server, your users will not need to ticket a single problem thereafter.

It might take few seconds for the application to start. The reason for this is that the flask server does take a short while to get up and running and to initiate communication with PA / TM1. Please resist the temptation to continue to double click the application in the event it is not appearing.

All dashboard refreshes for your business become queued and based on the server and when multiple customers can be requesting refreshes on the same server, at the same time things might get a little slow.

Each dashboard component's source report must be run then calculated and transformed into the dashboard whenever you refresh it. The more complex your source reports are, the longer the overall dashboard will take to refresh. For best practices and troubleshooting contact our support team for assistance.

Couple of things to check here. Firstly, check PA / TM1 is up and running. If PA / TM1 is there and that you can log into it, ensure that the password you’ve used has not changed since the time you generated the link.

The application is standalone so all you need to download or have access to the latest version on the machine form which you plan to run the application.

Sometimes DataFusion may be installed on a server and the link generated from the server is used on another client machine. In this situation logging out of the server forces DataFusion to stop executing in background processes.

To overcome this issue, instead of logging off from the server, simply close the RDP window. DataFusion will continue running in the background while the server is protected.

With some versions of the application, you may need to regenerate all links. Alternatively, in the event that this will occur we make our customers aware of this.

Yes, that’s not a problem. Our solution is portable between either of these operating systems. Contact support to receive the updated version.
