TM1RunTI other considerations

These are some additional considerations when using TM1RunTI.

Password Security

The use of passwords on the command line for this utility is not recommended for production deployments. Instead of using passwords on the command line, the password should be passed to the program using the passwordfile parameter to specify a file that contains the encrypted password. A keyfile is also needed to decrypt the password, and this is provided through the passwordkeyfile parameter. These files can be stored in a location accessible to the user running the tool, but under operating system protection so that other users cannot access them.

A combination of password and key can be generated by using the TM1Crypt tool, which comes with the standard Planning Analytics installation. See Planning Analytics Local Installation and Configuration for details.

Platform Portability

The TM1RunTI executable file name (tm1runti.exe) is all lowercase for platform portability and for consistency with other Planning Analytics tools.
