Item

Description and Default Value

Default installation location

On a 64-bit Microsoft Windows system:

C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\tm1_64

Admin Server port number

The TCP/IP port number on which the Admin Server listens for client requests.

The default value is 5495 (unsecured).

This value is set in IBM Cognos® Configuration.

Admin Server SSL port number

The TCP/IP port number on which all TM1® components communicate with the Cognos TM1 Admin Server using Transport Layer Security (TLS).

The default value is 5498 (secured)

This value is set in IBM Cognos Configuration.

TM1 server port number

The port on which the TM1 server runs. This parameter is used to distinguish multiple TM1 servers running on the same computer. Valid port values fall between 5000 and 65535.

The default value is 12345.

This value is set with the PortNumber parameter in the Tm1s.cfg server configuration file.

TM1 Client Message port number

This port number establishes a secondary port for client progress messages to use when a lengthy operation is waiting to be canceled.

This value is set with the ClientMessagePortNumber parameter in the Tm1s.cfg server configuration file.

The default value is blank.

By default, this port number is automatically and dynamically assigned when the TM1 server starts. You do not have to set ClientMessagePortNumber to a specific number unless firewalls or other network issues require the listener port to be a well-known number.

CAUTION:
If you choose to set a specific value for the ClientMessagePortNumber parameter, instead of having it dynamically assigned, be sure to assign unique port numbers for all the TM1 server and client message ports you are using. If you have two servers running on the same machine using the same port number, the message activity may cause a system conflict or hang.

Admin Server to REST API unsecured communication port number (tm1AdminHTTPPortNumber)

Specifies the HTTP port number that is used by TM1 Admin Server to communicate with the TM1 REST API for unsecured communication.

The default value is 5895.

This value cannot be changed using IBM Cognos Configuration.

For more information, see Appendix 1: TM1 Admin Host in the TM1 REST API documentation.

Admin Server to REST API secured communication port number (tm1AdminHTTPSPortNumber)

Specifies the HTTPS port number that is used by TM1 Admin Server to communicate with the TM1 REST API for secured (SSL) communication.

The default value is 5898.

This value cannot be changed using IBM Cognos Configuration.

For more information, see Appendix 1: TM1 Admin Host in the TM1 REST API documentation.

Admin Server host name

Specifies the computer name or IP address of the Admin Host on which a Cognos TM1 Admin Server is running.

The default value is blank, which uses localhost to represent the computer on which the installation is run.

This value is set with the AdminHost parameter in the Tm1s.cfg and Tm1p.cfg configuration files.

Security mode

A Standard installation uses Cognos TM1 Authentication. In this mode, the TM1 server prompts users for a user name and password when they log in to TM1 components.
