Running TM1 Top with command line options

You can over-ride the basic parameter values in the Tm1top.ini file by entering them on the command line when starting TM1® Top.
Note: SSL security parameters can not be entered at the command line and must be specified in the Tm1top.ini file if TM1 is configured to use SSL. For details, see "Configuring the TM1 Top Utility to Use SSL."

Use the following format to run TM1 Top with command-line options:

tm1top.exe -OptionName1 OptionValue1  -OptionName2
OptionValue2 ..

Where OptionName and OptionValue can be any of the following parameter and value combinations:

  • -adminhost admin-host-name
  • -servername server-host-name
  • -refresh refresh-period
  • -logfile file-path
  • -logperiod nnn
  • -logappend T or F

For example, to run TM1 Top with the ServerName parameter set to sdata and the refresh parameter set to 5 seconds, enter the following:

tm1top.exe  -servername sdata  -refresh 5
Note: Use quotes for parameter values that include spaces, as follows:
tm1top.exe  -servername "planning sample"
