Updating content on Planning Analytics

Use Remote Desktop to upload content files and load data into your default TM1® Server on your Planning Analytics system.

Procedure

  1. Connect to your Planning Analytics system with a remote desktop connection.
    For more information, see Connecting to the Planning Analytics remote desktop.
    Tip: If the newer Windows Start menu desktop is displayed instead of the classic desktop view, click the Desktop icon or press the Windows logo key to toggle to the classic desktop view.
  2. Upload your updated files to a temporary folder on the remote desktop.
    1. Open Microsoft Windows File Explorer in the remote desktop session.
      The Windows Explorer tool was renamed to File Explorer in Windows Server 2012 R2.
    2. Create a temporary folder on the remote desktop.
    3. Copy the files from File Explorer on your local desktop to the temporary folder that you created on the remote desktop.
      Tip: You can also use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to copy your local files to Planning Analytics.
  3. Stop the TM1 Server for which you are updating content by using IBM Planning Analytics Administration.

    For more information, see Start and stop databases.

  4. In the Remote Desktop window, copy the uploaded files into the server's data folder.
    For example, copy the files from the temporary folder into the folder \\data\s\prod\tm1.
    Important: Do not delete any existing folder that represents one of your TM1 Servers, for example \\data\s\prod\tm1. Any folder that represents a service contains the file tm1s.cfg.
  5. Start the TM1 Servers by using IBM Planning Analytics Administration.
