How to Update Your IBM Cognos TM1 Performance Modeler / Cognos Insight Client Installations - Updater Kit - ALL VERSIONS

Content

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
-Do not proceed with updating your TM1 Client Applications, unless your TM1 Server Applications have already been configured to use the new certificates. Switching your client to use the new TM1 SSL Certificates before your server has been updated - will result in being unable to connect to / open any TM1 Server connections.

This application updates all TM1 SSL files for Cognos Insight and Performance Modeler upon a machine on which it is run. It can be run in any location from a command prompt.

• In the default mode it will run once for the logged on user
• If any machine-wide installs are detected it will run again automatically in order to update those instances.
• In the default mode all replaced files will be backed up in-place by appending ".bak_<timestamp>" to the filename.
• To perform a test run (i.e. no files are changed) use the -w or --noWrite switch.
• Full list of options:
• -h or --help Show help
• -p or --pause Pause when complete
• -b or --noBackup Don't backup the original ssl files before overwriting
• -w or --noWrite Test run - don't actually write any files
• -v or --verbose Give more detail

4. Execute the following command to update Performance Modeler / Cognos Insight:
• RcpSslUpdater64.exe (or RcpSslUpdater.exe)
  
  You may also run the executable by double clicking the file instead of command line, however doing so will not display the files that are being updated
