TM1 Workflow starting point

[ExApplix]

I am new to Workflow and I need to ask a very basic question about it. TM1 manual is not very helpful. I am not sure whats the starting point to create a Workflow. I can not access the Workflow Admin Console when I am connected to my database. It gives me error:

"planning sample No TM1 databases containing TM1 Workflow data are available"

I do not get error when I connect to the local server. My local server is pointing to the sample DB located at:

C:\Program Files\Cognos\TM1\Custom\TM1Data\TM1 Planning Manager V2

What do I have to do in my other DB so that Workflow will work on them?

Please give me some starting point.

you need to install TM1 workflow against the DB directory you need to deploy TM1 workflow, change db directory during TM1 installation

You mean I need to run the Workflow Setup again for the each DB I am using? Does that mean that I can use Workflow for only one TM1 server/DB at a time?

Please confirm

No. You can run planning manager on as many databases that you want.

If you have done the default install then you should have the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Cognos\TM1\Custom\TM1Data\TM1 Planning Manager V2

All that you need to do is copy the contents of this folder to a tm1 data directory and restart the server. That TM1 database will then be ready to start building workflow.

(if you are using TM1 web then some edits also need to be made to the web.config file)
