Clarification in the installation of tm1 contributor 9.5.2

[Gurumadheshwaran]

Hi,

i am using cognos tm1 9.5.2 with cognos 10 BI security (using LDAP)

During the configuration, i was asked to ensure the placement of these files from tm1 to c10 in the following folders

From tm1 install dir to c10 Install dir

Cadmin\pmpsvc.war-----------------------------------c10 \webapps
\Cadmin\gateway\planning.html ---------------------- c10\webcontent
\Cadmin\gateway\variables_plan.html------------------ c10\templates\ps\portal
\Cadmin\gateway\icon_active_application.gif --------- c10\webcontent\ps\portal\images

but it did not work so when i googled , i found that planning.html need to edited as

Update the following to point to the location of the planning service(s)
var planningServices = ["http://localhost:8080"] as i am using tomcat

i saved and tried again but it did not work

but some workaround told to replace that planning.html file of 9.5.2 with 9.5.1 file

so i placed the planning.html file of 9.5.1 in the \webcontent folder and now its working

but it is also mentioned that it is not the correct method and not supported by cognos

So kindly give me a solution for this,

Thanks In advance
Guru

Guru,

Are you trying to install contributor on the same server as Cognos BI??

Hi jim,

its a NO, contributor and cognos 10 BI are in different servers

[jim wood]

Then BI should have no impact on your contributor installation. Have you tried reverting TM1 security back to 1 and testing whether it works?? Contributor only has links to TM1 and TM1 Web. (Apart from Security)

var planningServices = ["http://localhost:8080"] as i am using tomcat

Are you referring to the IBM Technote 1502002 ?

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... wg21502002
The planning service parameter was not specified or is not one of the configured locations

Resolving the problem

Do to security requirements, starting with 9.5.2 the location of permissible planning services must be entered into the planning.html file.

This is required to avoid users from being directed to improper sites.

The follow line in that file must be updated:

// Update the following to point to the location of the TM1 server running Contributor service(s)
var planningServices = ["http://localhost:8080"];

Change localhost:8080 for the FQDN server name and port# where the TM1 Contributor service is installed (e.g Apache Tomcat, WAS cE or Cognos BI Apache)



Did you adjust the default line

var planningServices = ["http://localhost:8080"];

to your environment, using the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the server machine running the Java Application Server driving the TM1 Contributor Administration and Workflow Client aka the TM1 Contributor Planning Service ?

For instance:

var planningServices = ["http://obelix.applix.com:8080"];

Hi,

i missed a point,

i am able to login to the contributor if i use the url

http://cognosBIservername:9300/pmpsvc/

but when i login through http://localhost:8080/pmpsvc in my TM1 environment, its throwing this error.

There is config file within the tomcat installation that controls the port numbers. I can't remember it's exact location off hand but if you search google I'm sure you'll turn something up. Tomcat will only with the ports set on this file. Have a play around with it,

Jim.
