Hi
Good Morning!!
We are doing a POC for one of our customer about integrating TM1 and Cognos8 BI.
As of now, some of the infomation identified for this POC. And please correct me, if i'm wrong?
*Only TM1 9.4 and Cognos 8.4 can used for this integration.
*Security Integration takes place at the Server level therefore would need to be set for each TM1 Server.
*TM1 9.4 portlets can only be installed in 32bit mode. This reflects the ability of IBM Cognos 8.4 to host it’s gateway only in 32bit mode.
*TM1 can be defined to use Cognos Access Manager security.
*TM1 is able to use any security provider configured in IBM Cognos 8 Cognos configuration. These providers can range from Series 7, LDAP and Active Directory Services
And we are looking more information like above and best practices.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Shravan

a *Only TM1 9.4 and Cognos 8.4 can used for this integration.
Yes
b *Security Integration takes place at the Server level therefore would need to be set for each TM1 Server.
Yes in that each TM1 server needs its cfg file set to use integrated security
c *TM1 9.4 portlets can only be installed in 32bit mode. This reflects the ability of IBM Cognos 8.4 to host it’s gateway only in 32bit mode.
Not tried 64 bit in this context, but seems likely
d *TM1 can be defined to use Cognos Access Manager security.
Yes
e *TM1 is able to use any security provider configured in IBM Cognos 8 Cognos configuration. These providers can range from Series 7, LDAP and Active Directory Services
Yes. If you have a proper AD setup AD is probably the best. If you need to move it around on a laptop that's no use. We tried ADAM, MS' cut down AD tool - it was useless. Solved in the end by using the SunOne LDAP server _but_ get the right one from IBM - Sun's current one didn't work.
