Link from Cognos to TM1 Web Contributor?

[froodyo]

Hello!

I have a question, which something I hope is possible and pretty straight forward. How do I create a link in a Cognos report that can go directly into the TM1 contributor?

Thanks,
Grady

Hi

I have never used contributor because it has never had the workflow that any client has wanted, and it is a while since I last used Cognos BI/Analytics however, this should be fairly simple.

Get the link to contributor

In Cognos BI add an HTML tag. Paste the link between that. You might need to replace any spaces in the link with %20.

I believe I understand what you are saying, but how would I drop an end user directly into the TM1 Web application for a specific planning node (if that is the correct terminology).

Hi

I haven't used contributor but it is basically TM1 Web so you may be able to use the TM1 Web URL API. With that you can pass eg a value into a WebSheet Cell or set the Title Dimension Element selection of a view. Once you have worked out what you need to pass, you then need to built the required string in Cognos BI using its macro language as the value for what goes between the HTML tags.
