The screen shot you are showing has an "Access Denied" being generated by Notepad, presumably when trying to save changes to the TM1TOP initialisation file. Have you checked things like read-only flags and file permissions for that file relative to the user doing the editing.

If you are going to edit the tm1top config file on Windows Server 2008 you will need to run Notepad as an Administrator (right click on Notepad and choose Run As Administrator) in order to be able to save the config changes.

Or you can copy the tm1top.exe together with the ini file, the DLLs and the SSL folder out of C:\Program Files to somewhere that the user has default write access to and then there should be no problem. You would need to do this anyway in order to be able to set up multiple top sessions to monitor multiple servers (or use cubespy or vizier to monitor multiple servers but both cost $$).

Ravi - it's unrelated to your issue which as has been pointed out is nothing to do with top or TM1 but rather windows permissions, but your actual settings for log period and refresh look strange. Refresh every 10 sec and log every 50? If there are queue and lock issues chances are you won't see most of them.

I am in the process of installing TM1Top (v10.1) onto the desktops of several key users.
My question: must I copy the entire directory of DLL and SSL files? Or do you have a short list of files that are required?

Here is what I have done so far:
I have copied the following files from the Server \bin64 folder into a new \bin64 folder on the client desktop which contains the 32-bit Perspectives Client on a 64-bit Windows OS:

• libibmcogeay32.dll
  log4cxx.dll
  sslibmcogeay32.dll
  tm1api.dll
  tm1lib.dll
  tm1top.exe
  tm1top.ini
  TM1ULibDll.dll

TM1Top starts up correctly but issues the statement that it is unable to find the AdminHost. The TM1Top.ini file is a copy (no modifications) from the server. The server copy of TM1Top.exe works correctly with this TM1Top.ini file. Additionally, I can modify the .ini file to point to a different Admin Host (PROD) and run TM1Top from the (DEV) Server and see the PROD server in TM1Top.

Are there other files that are required? Or is something else amiss?

Thanks for your help!
