  1. Does a minyan say tachanun if there was a siyyum or if there is going to be after aleinu? Or, is it preferable to have a Siyum on Shabbat (just for example) to avoid this safeik?

  2. Is Tachanun recited at a Siyum of all the Masechtot of Sha"S Bavli?

There's a third option: that there is no safek and Tachanun is said. – Double AA♦ Aug 14 '12 at 15:27

Rav Ovadia Yosef (Yabia Omer OC 4:13) discusses this topic and concludes in favor of not saying tachanun at a siyum in order to emphasize the aspect of happiness when learning Torah and thereby reward those who do learn Torah / entice others to learn Torah too.

I was going to bring Yalkut but once Maran is quoted directly, it's unnecessary. – Hacham Gabriel Aug 15 '12 at 18:08
