hi guys, i have a some question about IBM Planning Analytics Workspace

i have the architect that already installed on my local PC, is it possible for me to install PAW in my local PC too? or how i can connect my local architect to my own PAW to create a dashboard of my local architect server project? thank you.

Hi Calvin,

normally you don't want to install PAW on your local machine. Technically you could do it if your local machine has enough resources, but normally you would use a server running some kind of container runtime (depending on OS). If you have a server ready, just follow the IBM documentation for the insatllation.

Kind regards

Calvin, I think you have some confusion about the different TM1/PA components - easily done I know!

• Architect is a TM1 Client. It works with data in cubes stored on a TM1 Server which may be on your PC or somewhere else.
• Perspectives is very like Architect, but is an Excel Addin which can 'slice' output out to Excel for formatting etc
• PAW is a web server, accessed via a web browser. It holds briefing reports, but the data comes from a TM1 server. 
• PAFe is a successor to Perspectives - an Excel Addin. It connects via PAW to a TM1 Server. 
  (The developer and admin functions available in Architect and Perspectives are not available in PAFe - it is for reporting and data capture. You do development and admin in PAW)
• There is also TM1Web (now called PASS). This takes Excel reports and input sheets and outputs them as 'Websheets' both via PAW and directly - but, confusingly, also supports cube output and capture reports.)
• PAW is supported on Windows but does not have a good reputation - Linux is better. You can run it in a VM but it does need a fair amount of RAM in the VM which may be an issue on a laptop or desktop.

I run PAW on a mini PC with 16gig of RAM which I dual boot to Linux. IBM only support Red Hat but I have found PAW to work well on other versions - I use PoP!_OS which is a version of Ubuntu.

My apologies for the dual post - I didn't realise that posts take a while to appear. Fortunately I don't believe I have contradicted myself :)
