Planning Analytics

Hello Community,
I didn't find it in any official documentation so I've tried it  on my own initiative and found out that it works fine !
If you customize your tm1web url adding a adminhost parameter and a tm1server parameter like this :

http://myserver/tm1web/?adminhost=myadminhost&tm1server=mytm1server

You'll see a web page with only a user/password entry fields and so it's much more easier for our business users.

Did I missed it ? Is it documented somewhere ?

Hi,

The tm1web_config.xml can also be used to pre-select the admin host and tm1server.
The file is found at:
\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\webapps\tm1web\WEB-INF\configuration\tm1web_config.xml
Here are the rows to update:
<!-- If set, users will not be asked to enter Admin Host during login. -->
<add key="AdminHostName" value="" />
<!-- If set, the client will try to use this port instead of the default Admin Host port. -->
<add key="AdminHostPort" value="" />
<!-- If set, the client will try to use this port instead of the default Admin SSL Host port. -->
<add key="AdminHostSSLPort" value="" />
<!-- If set, users will not be asked to select a TM1 Server to connect to during login. -->
<add key="TM1ServerName" value="" />

This combined with Single Sign On, and users go straight into the app when they click the tm1web link.

Good luck!

Hi Scott,
I knew that playing with the tm1web_config.xml could provide the same feature but it was quite painful because once you've select an adminhost in this config  file, you had no other choice than use it... 
So in order to be able to adress different adminhosts, with the version 10.2, we had to duplicate the tm1web folder and customize each tm1web_config.xml of each copied folder.
With the url parameter, the same TM1Web url can access various adminhosts without any "trick" ;-) and so I found it much more efficient !
Regards,
Bob
