ODBC not set in Tm1s.cfg when Configure TI on Windows 64-bit

Troubleshooting

Problem

The ODBC gateway is used to access ODBC sources from TurboIntegrator when running the 64-bit Windows TM1 server. Axnet is a server process, available as part of Applix TM1, that launches ODBC gateways as requested by the TM1 server. Axnet starts during the operating system?s start-up routine, on TCP/IP socket port #5492 by default. Complete details on axnet are available in the TM1 Security Guide. To enable access to ODBC data sources through axnet, you must select the Configure TurboIntegrator to Use the ODBC Gateway option when installing TM1. Selecting this option, the installation wizard prompts to specify several parameters (Gateway Host, Username, and Password) that define how TM1 accesses the gateway When installing the TM1 server on the Windows 2003 64-bit operating system, these parameters are not written to the Tm1s.cfg file.] Consequently, the TM1 server will not be able to access the ODBC gateway through the axnet service.
