Two instances of TM1 Top? Is it possible?

[ChrisF79]

I have a production server and backup server running. I have the TM1Top.exe running on my local machine so I can monitor the production server but I'd also like to have a separate instance running to monitor the backup server. Is this possible? I tried copying the related files from the bin folder and putting them in their own folder, editing the .ini and running that TM1Top.exe but it just won't connect. Anybody have this working?

Thank you

Yes I have had this working. I believe I did it pretty much the way you describe.

Hi,
You can have several instances of TM1TOP runnning.
You don't need to copy all files. You just need to have different ini files (one per instance).
Then you create different shortcuts on your desktop with the target like this one for example:
"C:\Program Files\Cognos\TM1\bin\tm1top.exe" -i "C:\Program Files\Cognos TM1 top\tm1top_Instance1.ini"
