TM1 Forum

Hi all

is anyone able to help me with my RunTI.exe, never used it before but thought i would expand my horizons

heres my Batch file

"E:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\bin64\tm1runti.exe" -process "TestTi"-adminhost "localhost" -server "BasicSetup" -user "Admin" -pwd "Apple"
pause

It keeps telling me server connection failed. can some one please point out where i'm going wrong,

thanks

Looks about right - there may be a missing space before the -adminhost. I have also had mixed experience with quote usage try removing where you do not have spaces in the parameters .
e.g. "E:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\bin64\TM1RunTI.exe" -adminhost localhost -server BasicSetup -process TestTI -user admin -password apple
(not sure about the case of your password which may also be an issue)

Have you tried putting the server name instead of localhost?

Thanks for the above guys, I tried all the above still the same thing, Do i need to check my firewall settings?

Hi Darkhorse

You may need to explicity tell the command to use tm1runti, I know I had too.

Also, I think the "localhost" and "Admin", in your post, do not need to be inside quotation marks - I didn't need them in mine. I'm not sure about the password as I am using the encrypted password keys.

Mine looks like this:

"my_path\tm1runti.exe" tm1runti -process "My Process" -adminhost localhost -server "The_TM1_Instance" -user MyAdminUserName -passwordfile "My_Path\TM1RunTI\KeyStore\tm1prod_cipher.dat" -passwordkeyfile "My_Path\TM1RunTI\KeyStore\tm1prod_key.dat"

The username that I am using is not just the standard Cognos administrator, ADMIN. It is another account which also has administrator access on the physical server. I remember getting connection issues when I first set up TM1RunTI as that username wasn't in the administrator group.

Not sure if this helps, but some pointers that I found out when setting it up myself......it did take a few goes !

hi thanks for the assist bud, still no joy.

i read that the location of a tm1 installation can attribute to this issue,

my tm1 installation is n d:, my instance is in a seperate folder on d:

current bat:

"e:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\bin64\tm1runti.exe" tm1runti -process "Save Data All" -adminhost localhost -server "BasicSetup" -user admin -pwd apple
pause

If your installation is on D: why is your batch pointing to E:?
You also seem to have introduced another tm1runti after the first.
Review/update and try again.

apologies i meant the install was on E:, i added the runti second part due to a previous post

Does tm1runti work when using the command line and not the batch file?

no it still says Sever connection failed

Have you tried some of the suggestions elsewhere on this forum regarding certificates i.e. have you confirmed that ALL certificates are in place and updated?
Does Architect work as expected when running on the server directly?
Is your TM1S.CFG configured to allow mixed mode or TM1 native authentication?

My Version of TM1 is fully updated to patch 6 and the interim, SSL is fine and my Server shows perfectly in architect.

try "apple" in pwd parms and try copy paste use architect to connect to server ans do not use localhost use short(wide) domain name or ip
