Default installation values
This topic describes the set of default values used by the IBM® Cognos® TM1® installation.
The Cognos TM1 installation uses the following default configuration values:
Item |
Description and Default Value |
|---|---|
Default install location |
On a 32-bit Microsoft Windows system: C:\Program Files\IBM\Cognos\TM1 On a 64-bit Microsoft Windows system: C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\tm1_64 |
Admin Server port number |
The TCP/IP port number on which the Admin Server listens for client requests. Default value is 5495 (unsecured). This value is set in IBM Cognos Configuration. |
Admin Server SSL port number |
The TCP/IP port number on which all Cognos TM1 components communicate with the Cognos TM1 Admin Server using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Default value is 5498 (secured) This value is set in IBM Cognos Configuration. |
Cognos TM1 server port number |
The port on which the Cognos TM1 server runs. This parameter is used to distinguish multiple Cognos TM1 servers running on the same computer. Valid port values fall between 5000 and 49151. The default is 12345. This value is set wih the PortNumber parameter in the Tm1s.cfg server configuration file. |
Cognos TM1 Client Message port number |
This port number establishes a secondary port for client progress messages to use when a lengthy operation is waiting to be cancelled. This value is set wih the ClientMessagePortNumber parameter in the Tm1s.cfg server configuration file. The default value is blank. By default, this port number is automatically and dynamically assigned when the Cognos TM1 server starts. You do not have to set ClientMessagePortNumber to a specific number unless firewalls or other network issues require the listener port to be a well-known number. CAUTION: If you choose
to set a specific value for the ClientMessagePortNumber parameter,
instead of having it dynamically assigned, be sure to assign unique
port numbers for all the Cognos TM1 server and client message ports
you are using. If you have two servers running on the same machine
using the same port number, the message activity may cause a system
conflict or hang.

Admin Server host name |
Specifies the computer name or IP address of the Admin Host on which a Cognos TM1 Admin Server is running. Default value is blank which uses localhost to represent the computer on which the installation is run. This value is set with the AdminHost parameter in the Tm1s.cfg and Tm1p.cfg configuration files. |
