Dear all, Hope all of you is okay.
I'm new in this track, So I have a question.

recently I installed IBM Planning Analytics V2.0 on a local machine. When I connect to the server from the architect installed on my machine I can open servers, but I can not right click on the cubes and dimension and processes to create new ones. There is just no new. If I right click on dimensions all I see is 'edit attributes' . Any help will be helpful.

Thanks a lot,
Best Regards,
Hector.

Hello! You do not have admin rights on the server. Check }clientgroups cube

This is a peculiar quirk of our much beloved or unbeloved development interface.

For reasons be-known only to the original UI developer the "Create New Cube" option is universally available when right-clicking ANY cube. However, for all other object types the create new contect menu option is only available when the parent object type node is selected. e.g. to create a new dimension you must right-click the "Dimensions" parent node.

If you have verified that your user does have admin privileges (easiest way to check this; right-click the instance name and under "Security" do you only have the option to change your own password vs. also have option to refresh security and edit clients/groups).

If you only have access to change your own password then your user is not in the admin group. The rare exception to this is if the tm1p.ini file is missing then admin privileges are denied. If this is the case then you should also see that the TM1 Architect window will actually be captioned "TM1 Client" and not "TM1 Architect".

Thanks for your answer I think It's a critical one, you are right I see only 'Change Password' So, If this file is missing What is the solution?

Thanks a lot,

You are right, When I browse it I just see one cell has Admin value.
I cannot do anything else.

Thanks a lot,

1. What integratedsecuritymode do you use? (the parameter is in tm1s.cfg file. Path to tm1s.cfg is set in Cognos Configuration)
2. Which user has admin privileges? Only Admin user? (in }clientgroups cube)
3. By which user do you login in Architect?

Finally I made it, I want to thank you very much for your concern(Iotsaram , Elessar), really you mentioned a critical point.

Solution: I just copied the following files TM1p.ini and TM1p8.lic

from :
'C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\bin64\TM1p.ini'
'C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\bin64\TM1p8.lic'

into :
'C:\ProgramData\Applix\TM1\'
If the prior path doesn't exist then create it, after that it worked very well.

Thanks a lot,
best Regards,
Hector.
