Planning Analytics Workspace Local architecture

IBM® Planning Analytics Workspace Local can be co-located with IBM Planning Analytics Local or it can be installed on its own dedicated server. Installing Planning Analytics Workspace on its own server is recommended. In both cases, Planning Analytics Workspace must connect to the TM1® databases in your Planning Analytics Local system and to an authentication system.

The following diagram shows where Planning Analytics Workspace fits into your Planning Analytics Local architecture:
