In this chapter, you will learn about the purpose and use of Cognos TM1 TurboIntegrator.
We will identify and explain the purpose and use of TurboIntegrator (TI) as well as cover the basics of using TI—focusing on the information need for the current IBM Cognos TM1 Developer (Test COG-310) certification exam.
The current certification exam assigns a weightage of 25 percent to this topic.
TM1 TurboIntegrator is the programming or scripting tool that allows you to automate data importation, metadata management, and many other tasks.
Scripts built with TI, can be saved, edited, and, through the use of chores, be set up to run at regular intervals.
TI scripts can be used to process existing TM1 data or to import (and then process) data or information external to TM1 through the use of TI's Data Source feature.
