Replication between two instances in same machine

Post by bunchukokoy »

Hi Guys,

Sorry. It will be my first time to perform replication. Just wondering why my current setup doesn't seem to work.
I have instance A and instance B, both residing in machine Alpha.

Actually, instance B is a copy of instance B. I just deleted the cubes. BTW, I'm using SSO.

Then I created the replication object in instance B, sourcing from instance A.

I try to sync, nothing happened.

Is replication doable between two instances residing within the same machine?

Thanks in advance.

Since it's a copy, did you remember to go into TM1S.cfg and give instance B a different IP port #? Did you set up a TM1 ID on instance A that has admin access and then use that ID when creating the replication object in instance B?

Hi Tomok,

Yes they have different port nums. See attahced. Also, I can also access the two with my own windows username. (using SSO). I am also admin for both.

Thanks.

Hi Tomok,

Sorry. I also attached a shot of the error msg. FRRG_DEV is the InstanceA. FRRG_DEV_REP is InstanceB. I executed the chore in FRRG_DEV_REP.
I use the same username password.

Thanks so much.

How can you "use the same username password" when you are using SSO? What ID did you specify for the replication ID? I'm pretty sure you can't use an AD account for the replication ID. You probably need to use mixed mode and specify a TM1 user ID and password for your replication ID. I've never tried to replicate using SSO but from what I know about TM1 I highly doubt it will work. I'm pretty sure you need to use a local TM1 account for the replication ID.

Hi Tomok, yeah I mean both accept my Windows account.

Now I see. It should be set to mixed mode first.

Thanks Tomok.
