Removal of Cognos Configuration

Planning Analytics 2.1.8 does not include Cognos Configuration.

The removal of Cognos Configuration reduces the complexity of TM1 Server deployment. Cognos Configuration included several open-source components that previously required updates to address vulnerabilities. Removing Cognos Configuration removes almost all of the open-source components that could be identified by vulnerability scanning tools.

In place of Cognos Configuration, TM1 Admin Server and TM1 Server can be registered as Windows services using the executables found in the <install_dir>\bin64 directory. See Registering and running the TM1 Admin Server as a Windows service and Registering and running the TM1 Admin Server as a Windows service.

Configuration of the TM1 Admin Server in is applied in a new .json configuration file. See New Admin Server configuration file for more information.
