Adjusting the auto-save interval

You can change the auto-save feature by editing the TM1RuleEditUserPrefs.xml file.

The TM1RuleEditUserPrefs.xml file exists for the current Windows user and is located in C:\Documents and Settings\current_user\ApplicationData\Cognos\TM1\, where current_user is your Windows user name.

Open the TM1RuleEditUserPrefs.xml file and edit the <autoBackupMinutes> parameter to adjust the auto-save feature as follows:

<autoBackupMinutes>value</autoBackupMinutes>

where value is the interval, in number of minutes, when TM1® will save a backup file of a rule.

The default setting is 5 minutes, and a setting of 0 disables the auto-save feature.

For example: <autoBackupMinutes>5</autoBackupMinutes>
