CX: CXMD Server not found

[holger_b]

Hi all,

thanks to the community I found out how to switch on TM1 security in Cognos Express. However, I can still not log into TM1 Web, can anyone give me a hint?

I can address http://<servername>/tm1web/TM1WebLogin.aspx, but after I entered my login credentials, there is a message like "registration failed. Please try again... 87: TM1APIDOTNET Exception: - CXMD: The specified Server was not found"

In the TM1 Web log, it says:

[14] ERROR Applix.TM1.API.Internal._TM1Main - Failed attempt to connect to host [Cognos] on port [5498] with SSLCertID [tm1adminserver] Message [TM1APIDOTNET Ausnahme: - System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Es konnte keine Verbindung hergestellt werden, da der Zielcomputer die Verbindung verweigerte 192.168.100.87:5498].

The last part of it seems to indicate that the target computer refused the connection, but port 5498 is released for sure.

Any clue?

Best regards
Holger

... in the meantime I found this document which sounded very promising, but it did not help in the end:
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview ... wg21456587

I noticed that apart from the CXMD service there is a TM1 Service as well, but I can not start it, this is in the log:

tm1sdx64 error: 2
Data directory not specified. Aborting server start up.

There is a web.config under C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Cognos Express\Xcelerator\TM1Web, should I amend anything here?

Regards
Holger

How embarrassing... I entered the proper server name in the web.config, and it worked. It's all that easy.
