Introduction to Chores in TM1

Chores in TM1 are objects that execute one or more processes of TM1 at a user-defined frequency.

For example, if you’ve a process called UpdateSalesData and want to automate the process of updating the sales data (meaning you want to run the process automatically without user intervention from time to time), you can create a chore for it and schedule to run the chore at a specific time.

Creating Chores

Launch your TM1 Architect, expand the nodes and right click Chores and click Create New Chore.

Creating Chores

Chore setup wizard will open. It will ask you the process that you want to run. You can select one or more processes. For the processes that have parameters, there is a button to specify the parameters.

The process that I’ve selected doesn’t contain any parameters so the button is disabled.
