IBM Cognos Xcelerator - User problem

[ryan]

There are one set of users in production environment and another set of users in development environment.
My questions are
1) When I open Cognos Express Manager (for Development server) - Under Administration:Users I can see the intended set of users. But when I open thru Server Explorer-> Server name (right click) Security-> Clients/groups, I am seeing the set of users which are defined on the production server. where as on production server using the above said 2 ways of exploring users is in tact (matching). Why is in development server picking the production server's user list?
2) In the development server I can see set of users(namely Administrator, rkm, UserA, UserB, UserC and created new user tester with pwd: tester). (Note: There is only one licence for our development server.) But when I am trying to login with using the foresaid user ids and corresponding pwds, unable to connect to Architect and I see error message: "Client Name does not exist on the server". Though I see the user names in the dev server - express manager's user list. It is only allowing to enter Architest using the admin id(which is not listed in the dev server-express manager's user list) and pwd.

CognosGatewayURI in tm1p.ini file for production enivronment is
CognosGatewayURI=http://tm1prod.swf........................
for development environment is:
CognosGatewayURI=http://tm1dev.swf...........................

Can anyone help me in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

Have a look in your tm1p.ini file and you will find a line that starts

Code: Select all

CognosGatewayURI =

(I guess it might be called something slightly different under CX)

This is the content store that your copy of Architect/Perspectives/Xcelerator Client is authenticating against. If you want to switch from Prod to Dev you will need to change this reference to reflect te different environment every time.

Don't forget that if you are changing anything in the tm1p.ini file you must not have an Architect/Perspectives/Xcelerator Client session open, otherwise all your changes will be overwritten when you close Architect/Perspectives/Xcelerator Client.

CognosGatewayURI in tm1p.ini file for production enivronment is
CognosGatewayURI=http://tm1prod................
and for development environment is:
CognosGatewayURI=http://tm1dev..............

in my workstation, it is pointing to production.
CognosGatewayURI=http://tm1prod...................

I have changed it to tm1dev but still pointing to the prod. Even I have restarted my workstation and the .ini file on my workstation is pointing to dev. But the users list are fetching from production env.
