Developer Pathway
Learn all the developer tools needed to build a model in IBM Planning Analytics covering writing business logic, importing data from an SQL database and enhancing the TM1 model with TM1py to take advantage of Python’s ever-growing packages like infusing AI and forecasting algorithms.
Our courses will give you the confidence to make smarter decisions faster.
Explore the course pathway to see how students can advance their knowledge and work towards proficiency. Here are the course details in the Developer Pathway.
Complete the End User Pathway
Before commencing the Developer Pathway, you must complete the End User Pathway that teaches how to utilise the IBM Planning Analytics’s interface for Excel and Workspace. This pathway includes the End User (Excel), Advanced Reporting (Excel), End User (PAW) and End User MDX (PAW) course.
Developer Fundamentals
This is the first course for those who want to be a Developer. The Developer Fundamentals course will teach the tools needed for dimension building, cube design, data loading and writing business logic. This course will also benefit end users who want to understand the logic used to develop themodel for transparency and integrity.
Advanced Rules
This course is a deep dive into writing Rules, a formula-driven language that applies business logic to Cubes. By the end of this course, you will gain more confidence in writing arithmetic formulas to formulas with multi-cube logic. You will also learn why the TM1 Server is appreciated for its ability to handle data sparsity and how to manage this powerful feature.
Advanced TurboIntegrator
This course is a deep dive into utilising the TurboIntegrator (TI), a tool for importing data, manipulating objects like dimensions and modifying data to apply business logic. By the end of this course, you will gain more confidence in utilising TI on the TM1 Server.
Advanced MDX
This course is a deep dive into MDX (MultiDimension eXpression), a language used to query the TM1 Server for extracting data and structure. Understanding how to read and write MDX will enable you to enhance Excel reports beyond the standard Dynamic Report export. It would also put you on the right step to learning TM1py since understanding MDX is fundamental.
Administrator
This course is designed for administrators to gain the essential skills to manage, configure, and optimise IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) environments.
TM1py Fundamentals
TM1py helps to bridge external systems to IBM Planning Analytics (PA) through the power of Python. Python has an ever-growing package collection that can be used to enhance IBM PA, like infusing AI and forecasting algorithms into the planning cycle to reduce time and costs. This course will equip you with the fundamentals to take advantage of Python using TM1py.
Pulse Fundamentals
Pulse is an application lifecycle management software for IBM Planning Analytics with many features to monitor the TM1 Server. To ensure you get the most out of Pulse, this course will teach you the most advanced features to keep your server in peak condition.

“I have done Cubewise’s ‘Developer Fundamentals’, ‘Advanced TurboIntegrator’ and ‘Advanced Rules’ course. They are fantastic – content was clearly laid out, instructors were knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and their platform was slick and easy to use. Having access to their Educational Hub was a huge help as well, as I could return to all the content whenever needed. All in all it felt like my TM1 knowledge was fast tracked, which has been fundamental for the modelling work I undertake in my job. Can’t recommend Cubewise’s courses enough!”

“This training has exceeded my expectation, I knew nothing at all about TM1py and by the end of 4 sessions I was able to download tm1py, connect to TM1, load data, run a TI process, add a new element plus the attribute using tm1py script! So happy that I registered for this course. Marius is really the best tm1py trainer, he always make sure that all the participants have time to ask questions, and if we are stuck or get an error, he will help us to tackle it during the training session. I would highly recommend anyone who want to learn tm1py from the beginning to join this course! 10/10 Thanks again to Cubewise training team for organising this.”

“A fantastic trainer! Liesl seems very excited to teach classes. She has the knowledge, and especially to a level that she can just say what was added/removed in the earlier or newer versions of Planning Analytics. This
is awesome!! I have a gained a greater understanding of Planning Analytics after taking many of the advanced courses under her mentorship. Thanks Liesl.”
