Stored Procedures in TM1 Turbo Integrator

​Learn How to use Stored Procedures in TM1 Turbo integrator

As many of you know, when you are using stored procedures in TM1 Turbo Integrator to import data and metadata into TM1, you can bring it in from many sources. You can use comma-delimited ASCII files, other TM1 cubes and views, MSAS (Microsoft Analysis Service) and relational database tables that are accessible through an ODBC connection. For this blog, we are going to concentrate on relation database tables through SQL and what you may not know is that using multiple tables and writing multiple joins query in SQL using the Turbo Integrator query box can make the pull of the data very slow!

An easy way to correct this is to write your join statements in SQL using SQL Server Management Studio. Write your joins to create a “summary table” of all the fields you want pulled into TM1. Now create a stored procedure that uses the joins, creates your new table and subsequently updates the summary table based on the schedule you have set.

So, instead of using the long join statement in the Turbo Integrator query box, simply write a statement to execute a stored procedure in the query box. BAM! Your query is much quicker and returns your data as you would expect!
