Setting your local data directory

Before you can proceed with developing these examples, you must first set your local data directory to use the appropriate sample data.

1. Select File > Options in the Server Explorer.
   The TM1 Options dialog box displays.
2. Click Browse.
3. Navigate to the Custom\TM1Data\Rules_Guide_Data directory.
   If you accepted the default installation directory when installing TM1®, the full path to this directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\tm1_64\samples\tm1\Rules_Guide_Data.
4. Click Open.
5. Click OK on the TM1 Options dialog box.
   When you change the local data directory, TM1 automatically restarts the local server with the new directory. Before restarting the local server, TM1 prompts you to save any current changes.
6. Click OK.
   TM1 restarts the local server using the Rules_Guide_Data directory, which contains the Fishcakes International data.
