Error launching PAW 2.0.6

[Rtel]

Hello, I have installed PAW 2.0.6. and It worked fine for 3 days. I could see TM1 DB model. Browse cubes,dim etc

Suddenly now after logging it waits for some time and shows blank white screen with { } on top left of the screen.

Windows 2016
TM1 server and PAW installed on same machine
Native TM1 login
user Role: Admin
All the services are running fine.

Nothing have changed in the environment.

Any idea ???

Thanks

What does

Code: Select all

scripts/paw.ps1 ps

show? Seems like a service is unhealthy.

Try to restart the services,

Code: Select all

scripts/paw.ps1 restart

[Rtel]

Please see the results below.

PS E:\scripts> .\paw.ps1 ps

Hi,

Check paw.ps1 to see if TM1Location is set correctly

Hi,

I am also able to see the same error. May i know what it stands for?
I did scripts/paw.ps1 stop & followed by scripts/paw.ps1. No luck.
Gateway and everything else getting created but TM1Proxy_Version and Save_version variable is not set message comes.
See the attached for further information.

Thank You

Dharav

You can just ignore those, the docker-compose application will print that message out if an environment variable is referenced in a docker-compose.yml file but it is not defined.

dr.nybble,

I found following after installing PAW:
PAW:

1) Integrated Security Mode = 1: Admintool validates with HNS NIC Ipv4, I able to login to PAW and can access the models.
2) Integrated Security Mode = 5: Admintool validates with HNS NIC IPv4, I couldnt able to see login screen on PAW Page - Reason is the configuration of GateWayURI in the cognos configuration has done with FQDN.

PAX:

1)In CFG, IPAddressv4= HNS IP (PAX Works)
2)In CFG, IPAddressv4= Public IP/ServerIP/FQDN (PAX Doesnt work)

In order to have PAW up and running with CAM security (Integrated Mode = 5), what and where changes has to be made? Why?

Note:

1) We have PA,CA, and PAW on same server.
2) I have PAW up and running (on same server, same version installations) - where my admin server used to validate through server IP or FQDN. PAW worked flawless

Please Advise.

Thank You

Dharav

If you configure the Gateway URL, that has to be reachable externally by your users since they will be redirected to that URL.

Where are you running PAX? Ensure the firewall for the TM1 HttpPortNumber is open.

[Paul-TM1]

Hi Dharav,
Is your TM1 server running on "Security Mode =5"? Once this is done, it's all in the Configuration of PAW Admin Tool page.
I have attached a sample of how it should look.

Thanks,
Paul.

[dr.nybble]

Also note that you can now use TM1 Authentication for any of modes 1-5. All authentication will be delegated to the TM1 instance you specify.

Do i need to open HttpPortNumber, if i am utilizing integrated security mode 5?

If i type in Gateway URL in the browser (both inside or outside server) and run - it works. It brings Cognos BI login Page and i am also able to get in to Cognos Analytics.

I am able to access PAX from outside of the server. Even test users are able to browse cube through PAX. I become curious to know, how is it possible where PAX is working but not PAW?

Thank You

Dharav

[dr.nybble]

PAX does not need to authenticate to PAW; PAW only acts as a proxy for PAX requests.

Still not sure I understand exactly what is not working for you

[dharav9]

Thank You All, It resolved.

I had to matched the IP Interface Index Equal to public and lower then else.
In IBM Video, they said that public IP Interface Index should be lower then all available network which did not work for me

Thank You

Dharav
