Issue:

When user inside CDM click on a word object to edit/update it they get a error message.

If they work with a Excel object, there are no issues.

The wusa usage to quietly uninstall an update has been deprecated. The uninstall command with /quiet switch fails with event ID 8 in the Setup event log. Uninstalling updates quietly could be a security risk because malicious software could quietly uninstall an update in the background without user intervention.

From CDM:

Issue around Microsoft’s June 9th, 2026 cumulative Windows update that Microsoft is working to address. This patch has caused an error with a component that prevents the opening of word documents in CDM.
Issue
When users attempt to open Word Objects or Generate Reports in CDM the following error is displayed:
“The content of the file is corrupted.”

Root Cause
This issue is caused by an unanticipated change introduced in. Below is a list of the affected updates:

  • KB5094127 (Windows 10 version 21H2 and 22H2)
  • KB5093998 (Windows 11 version 23H2)
  • KB5094126 (Windows 11 version 24H2 and 25H2)
  • KB5095051 (Windows 11 version 26H1)

For instances where the CDM client may be published in Citrix (Office is on the Server):

  • KB5094042 (Windows Server 2012)
  • KB5094122 (Windows Server 2016)
  • KB5094123 (Windows Server 2019)
  • KB5094128 (Windows Server 2022)
  • KB5094125 (Windows Server 2025)

Solution

NOTE: Microsoft has acknowledged the issue was caused by the Microsoft June 9th update and they are also working on a resolution (as mentioned in the “Known issues with this release” section of the affected KBs above) and will be included in a future Windows update.

Additionally, the CDM team has identified the component in conflict with the update and are working hard in attempt to resolve the issue given the critical nature and its impact to our customers, coupled with the lack of a timeline on the update from Microsoft.

We believe the update will be delivered in CDM 26.2.0 (target release early July, 2026). Further updates, including progress and expected timelines, will be communicated as they become available.

Issue:

How dynamically set the data source to a tm1 view?

Solution:

In prolog build up the subset and view, and then add

#--- set the view to use
DataSourceType = 'VIEW' ;
DatasourceNameForServer = Cube ;
DatasourceNameForClient = Cube  ;
DatasourceCubeview = ViewName ;

# Change to get semicolon in the text file
# DatasourceASCIIQuoteCharacter='';
# DatasourceASCIIDelimiter = ';';

# Change to get comma in the text file
DatasourceASCIIDelimiter = ',';
DatasourceASCIIDecimalSeparator = '.';
DatasourceASCIIQuoteCharacter = '"';

Product:

Planning Analytics 2.1.x

Microsoft Windows 2022 server

Issue:

A TI process created in PAW, when open in TM1 Architect it appears to be blank.

 

Solution:

If you need to work with TI process in both TM1 Architect and Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW)

create the TI process first in TM1 Architect.

When you open a TI process in TM1 Architect, it will add this lines to the tabs.

#****Begin: Generated Statements***
#****End: Generated Statements****

This can erase the code you have written.

 

More Information:

When you create or edit a TurboIntegrator (TI) process in Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW), TM1 Architect often fails to read the code properly due to a known compatibility issue. When opened in Architect, the process can appear blank on certain tabs.

In latest version of PAW, you should have most of the functions you need – and therefor the need to use TM1 architect should be limited.

The Root Cause
This occurs because of a few structural differences between the two editors:
• Variable Mapping: PAW does not always send data source variable names and types to Architect properly.
• Auto-generated Code Comments: Architect relies on auto-generated comments (like the lines defining data source parameters in the Prolog/Data tabs). When you open a PAW-built process, Architect attempts to add them, which can wipe out existing code or leave the screen blank.

 

Warning PAW created/edited TI are not backwards compatible with Architect | Planning Analytics

D:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1web\webapps\tm1web\scripts\tm1web\themes\carbon\standalone\images\login\PA_header.svg

Also check the D:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1web\webapps\tm1web\WEB-INF\configuration\tm1web_config.xml file.

Update the new file with the missing values (if there are any) – that you had in your previous installation.

Set the IBM services to automatic and restart the server.

 

Start up the services and run some test with import from ODBC, cubes with rules and other demanding task.

Create a TI process with the function GetProcessErrorFileDirectory – run and check that it returns the result you want.

 

 

Copy the PAA agent files unique rows into the new file D:\Program Files\ibm\tm1_64\paa_agent\wlp\usr\servers\kate-agent\bootstrap.properties

Start command prompt as administrator and go to folder D:\Program Files\ibm\tm1_64\paa_agent\bin

Stop the service with command PAAAgentStop.bat or remove it with PAAAgentDelete.bat

Run PAAAgentSetJavaHome.bat to set JAVA_HOME for your Planning Analytics Administration agent.

Register it with PAAAgentRegister.bat

Start the service with PAAAgentStart.bat

Then go to the PAW (planning analytics workspace) to see if you have contact with the PAA agent.

Go to Administration – Agents – and check the details. Is it the new version?

Try to send a test mail to ensure the configuration is correct.
