How the client PC connect to a remote Tm1 Server in another PC

Post by Niko »

Hi Everyone :)

I know that I need to config "Tm1p.ini", "Tm1s.cfg" to connect another PC's Tm1 Server.

May I know where to config the "ip address","port name" etc. or any documents which I can find the answer.


The "Tm1p.ini" parameters are like these:
"[TM1]
DataBaseDirectory = ..\samples\tm1\PData
AdminHost =
ConnectLocalAtStartup = F
LocalServerNetworkProtocol = tcp
IntegratedLogin = F
#AllowImportCAMClients = F
#CognosGatewayURI = http:/LocalHost/cognos10/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi
Language=sch"





Thank You sincerely :)

Tm1s.cfg is a server based file, should only exist alongside the running tm1 database directory.

Tm1p.ini is a client config which stores connection details etc.. for Architect/Perspectives to connect to a tm1 service/model.

You should rarely need to go in the tm1p.ini and should instead set the connection through architect/perspectives by going file > options and setting the admin host... This is turn will update the tm1p.ini

If you still can't access the instance it's more likely a firewall issue

You may put the ip address as the admin host or the server name.

The port does not need specifying at a client level and will use port 5495 or 5498 by standard depending on the tm1s.cfg usessl setting.
