Data Movement Between TM1 instances on Workflow Action

[pmathur]

Hello Everyone, we came across a scenario where on the final submission of the root node in a approval application we need to trigger a data transfer from server A to server B. To accomplish this we have plugged a TI process on Submit action of the approval application on server A for each node. And we monitor that if the current node is root node using pNodeId parameter. If the current node is root node then our process on server A will try to connect to server B using TM1RUNTI utility via "ExecuteCommand" as shown below. Now the problem is, the process on server B is never called using this method. Or in other words it appears that it fails in connecting to server B

We are running TM1 10.2.2 and our admin servers are on RedHat OS. Any suggestion what we are missing syntactically or are there any restriction on using TM1RUNTI on Linux box?

Thanks !!!

Code: Select all

vStr = 'tm1runti -adminhost xyz.myhost.com -server "Server B" -user "abc" -pwd "xyz" -CAMNamespace "MyDomain" -process "Get Transfer Node Status"';
ExecuteCommand(vStr,1);

Skipping all the fancy stuff you have done as far as tying it to a submission process, have you tested to see if you can run TM1RUNTI from your server by just opening a command window and pasting the string you have created in there and hitting enter. I've never tried to run a Windows executable program on Linux so I can't speak to whether it's possible or not. If you can't run it from a command window on the TM1 server then you are surely not going to be able to run it via a TI.

Thanks Tom, for the suggestion.

Somehow we have missed to add the TM1 <install directory>/bin64 path to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable on our Unix server as suggested by IBM.

After updating the path variable it works like a charm. Thanks again.

Just FYI - IBM does in fact include a binary called tm1runti.exe in the installer for all platforms. While it does break convention on *NIX platforms to use file extensions, it doesn't break anything and adds no meaning.

Thank Brain, for this information.
