5. Agenda
 What is the TurboIntegrator Debugger?
 Main Features/Main Window Walkthrough
 How will the TI debugger help me?
 Limitations
 Installation and Configuration
 Q&A

6.  Debug - Identify and remove errors from
(computer hardware or software)
– Programmers use debugging tools while developing in
Javascript, C++, etc.
What is the TI Debugger?

7. What is the TI Debugger?
 The TurboIntegrator Debugger is a simple tool
which allows users to set breakpoints and step
through TurboIntegrator processes to identify
possible issues or errors in your scripts
– Edit & Debug
– While the TI Process is a list of instructions that get executed
by the computer, the debugger will allow you to stop the
script at any point while it is running
– Current debugging only possible with ASCIIOUTPUT
Statements
 The TI Debugger is available for TM1 10.2.2 FP 7
and Planning Analytics Local

Debugger help me?

10. Easier to Read
 TI Processes
are color coded
– Comments:
Green
– TM1 Functions:
Purple
– Static
References:
Blue

11. Easier to Read
 All of the variables being executed at a point in
time are defined
– Can see values that are calculated or read by the TI
Process  Real-time Debugging
– Can replace ASCIIOUTPUT
– No more casting numbers to strings, character limits, or
managing multiple output files!
 IF/WHILE Statements
– Can step through code to see which portion of the IF
statements are being processed
– Collapsible

12. Breakpoints
 Used to “bookmark” a
problematic point in the
TI Process
 Can add conditional
expressions to
breakpoints using the
Breakpoint Editor
– Anything you can put in an
IF statement within a TI,
you can put here as a
conditional expression

13. Breakpoints

14. Performance Testing
 Can see the
time elapsed,
per line within
the TI Process

15. Object Locks
• Can see object locks
on the server

16. TM1 Top
 Can view debug process and activity with TM1 Top

17. DEMO

18. Limitations
• Cannot replace Architect
• No ability to specify data source
• Only can be used on existing TI scripts on server

19. Installation and Configuration
 Download zip file
– https://developer.ibm.com/recipes/tutorials/ibm-tm1-
turbointegrator-debugger/
 Configure TM1 Server
– Edit tm1s.cfg file
 Enable ODATA on the TM1 Server (i.e. HTTPPortNumber=8000)
 Enable TI Debugging (EnableTIDebugging=True)
 Unzip file and run the debugger
– Use HTTPS for the TM1 Server
API HTTP URL
– If the tm1s.cfg file says SSL = T,
the http has to be changed to https
