Data directory disabled in Options window

[Sandhya Kumar]

Hi all,

I installed TM1 9.4 FP2 in my local machine through silent script. After installing, I see that the Local server section is disabled in the Options menu from TM1 Perspectives. The data directory path is completely grayed out and I cannot change it. Also in Server Explorer's File menu, "Start Local Server" option is not available.

This is what i used in my script:

setup.exe /s /l1033 /v"INSTALLLEVEL=0 INSTALLDIR=\"c:\program files\cognos\tm1\" ADDLOCAL=TM1Client,Architect,DocLibrary PRODUCTCHOSEN=TM1P EXCELEDITINCELL=False TM1AUTOLOAD=False TM1LANGSTRING=ENG CLIENTLOGIN=F INSTALLGHOSTSCRIPT=F TM1CLIENTADMHOST=<<local machine name>> /qr"

When I run the setup.exe manually, I do not run into this problem. Is there something that I need to change in my silent script? Please help me. Thanks.

Hi these options are greyed out because your perspectives license is missing. I'm not sure where it goes in 9.4 but in 9.0 it goes in
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Applix\TM1

Hi,

Your script is installing TM1 Client (unlicensed). To install Perspectives you should replace 'TM1Client' by 'Perspectives' in your ADDLOCAL parameter.
For silent install also see this post.

If I mention Perspectives instead of "TM1Client" in ADDLOCAL, for TM1 9.4 MR1 the setup is working fine. When I run for FP2, after the whole setup is executed, I get the error "The setup.exe is not marked for installation" at the end and all the files related from TM1 are removed from my machine. Thats why I changed it to TM1Client as suggested in the post.

For installing FP2, should I specify some other value instead of "Perspectives" in the ADDLOCAL parameter? I got the silent installation guide for MR1.. But do not find one for FP2..

Sandhya,
Did you check where your perspectives licence is. The TM1 Client and TM1 Perspectives is the same piece of software so if you are seeing that option but greyed out it's the licence that is the problem not the software.

In 9.4 MR1:

If I give ADDLOCAL=TM1Client, there is no license file and the local server option is greyed out. If I give ADDLOCAL=Perspectives, I could see the license file in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Applix\TM1" and the option is enabled.

In 9.4 MR1 FP2:

If I give ADDLOCAL=TM1Client, there is no license file and the local server option is greyed out. If I give ADDLOCAL=Perspectives, I get the error "The file setup.exe is not marked for installation".

hi all,

I am able to install FP2 successfully after adding PDFCamp to ADDLOCAL parameter. Guide says it should all be in full caps. But it has to be PDFCamp.

setup.exe /s /l1033 /v"INSTALLLEVEL=0 INSTALLDIR=\"c:\program files\cognos\tm1\" ADDLOCAL=Perspectives,PDFCamp,DocLibrary PRODUCTCHOSEN=TM1P EXCELEDITINCELL=False TM1AUTOLOAD=False TM1LANGSTRING=ENG CLIENTLOGIN=F INSTALLGHOSTSCRIPT=F TM1CLIENTADMHOST=<<local machine name>> /qr"

Thanks for all your help!
