You can configure IBM® Cognos® TM1® Applications to use IBM Cognos Business
Intelligence (BI) security. This configuration requires users to log
in to Cognos TM1 Applications as a valid user that exists
in the Cognos BI server.
This configuration also integrates Cognos TM1 Applications with Cognos BI by displaying links to Cognos TM1 Applications
in the IBM Cognos Connection portal.
When
you use Cognos TM1 Applications with Cognos BI Security, the Cognos TM1 Application
Server can be hosted on a web application server in one of the following
ways:
- On a different computer with the Apache Tomcat that was provided
with the Cognos TM1 installation
- On a different computer with your own installation of Apache Tomcat
or IBM Websphere.
- Optionally, you can deploy Cognos TM1 Applications with the Apache
Tomcat web server that is supplied with Cognos BI.
In all cases, you must edit the planning.html file
and copy this file to the Cognos BI
server so that the Cognos BI
server knows the location of the Cognos TM1 Application Server.
Note: You
must have the TM1_PATH environment variable specified
before connecting to Cognos TM1 under a UNIX environment.
