Before you use IBM® Cognos® TM1® Applications, you need to specify the Cognos TM1 Admin Host, Cognos TM1 Server, and client user interfaces
that you want to use. The first time that you start Cognos TM1 Applications,
the program prompts you to configure these options.
Before you begin
Ensure that the Cognos TM1 Admin Server and at least one Cognos TM1 Server is running on the local computer or
a remote computer that you can access.
Ensure that each Cognos TM1 Server that you want to use is configured
with the required parameter values. For details, see Configuring a Cognos TM1 Server to work with Cognos TM1 Applications .
If
you plan to use the Cognos TM1 Application Web client, ensure
that you know the web server name and port number where Cognos TM1 Web
is running.
Procedure
- Start and log in to Cognos TM1 Applications:
- In a web browser, type the URL for Cognos TM1 Applications:
http://localhost:9510/pmpsvc
- Replace localhost with the name of
the computer where the Cognos TM1 Application Server is installed.
- Open the Cognos TM1 Application Configuration page:
- If this is the first time that Cognos TM1 Applications has been started
since the installation, the Cognos TM1 Application Configuration web
page opens.
