Before you can use the IBM®
TM1® Server, you need to start the IBM
TM1 Admin Server in IBM Cognos Configuration. Servers that are
running in a Microsoft
Windows environment are referred to as
services.
About this task
By default, Cognos® Configuration registers TM1
Server components to run as Windows services using the predefined Local System account.
However, the TM1 components should be run as a specific user.
Important: Change the following TM1 services that
are created by Cognos Configuration so that the services
run under a specific user account on Microsoft
Windows:
-
TM1 Admin Server
- TM1 Server
For details, see, User accounts for running TM1 services on Windows.
Procedure
- If it is not already running, start the configuration tool by clicking
Start > All Programs > IBM Cognos
TM1 > IBM Cognos Configuration.
Remember: Right-click and use Run as Administrator on Windows and Windows
Server operating system software.
- In the Cognos Configuration
Explorer pane, expand Local Configuration >
Environment.
- Right-click each server that you want to start and select
Start:
- TM1 Admin Server
Tip: The Cognos Configuration tool prompts you
to save any edits made to the configuration settings. This process will take longer the first time
you save a setting as the cryptographic settings and other actions take place for the first time.
Click Yes in response to the message asking you to save the settings. You
will also see this type of message when you close Cognos
Configuration.
- Expand the Data Access > TM1 Server node
and right-click each TM1 sample database server that you want
to start and select Start.
For example, start the provided sample databases:
- SData
- Planning Sample
- GO_New_Stores
- Click File > Save.
- Edit the entries for the TM1 components in Windows Services so that they run under a
specific user account.
