Configuring Cognos TM1 Operations Console to use Cognos security

Deprecated in v2.0.9 You can configure IBM® Cognos® TM1 Operations Console to use IBM Cognos Analytics security, also called Cognos Access Manager (CAM) authentication.

Before you begin

At least one TM1 server must be configured for IBM Cognos Analytics security. This is required in order to store the Operations Console user group information. You must know the name of this TM1 server to complete the steps in this topic. For complete details and configuration steps, see Cognos security and Configuring the TM1 Server to use Cognos security

About this task

To configure Operations Console to use IBM Cognos Analytics security, you work with files on the computers hosting these two components.

Procedure

  1. Open Performance Management Hub by going to http://<host>:9510/pmhub/pm/admin
  2. Expand Configurations > Operations Console TM1 Monitors.
  3. Verify the values in the DefaultAdminHost, DefaultGroup, and DefaultServer fields. See Configuring the Cognos TM1 Operations Console.
  4. Expand PMHub Security.
  5. Set CAMBIURL to the Cognos Analytics Server dispatcher URL.
    You can find this value in Cognos Configuration under Environment > External dispatcher URI. The value in the ServerCAMURI parameter of the tm1s.cfg file should be similar.
    For example: http://host.domain.com:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch
  6. Set CAMGatewayURL to the Cognos Analytics Server gateway.
    You can find this value in Cognos Configuration under Environment > Gateway URI. The value in the ClientCAMURI parameter of the tm1s.cfg file should be similar.
    For example: http://host.domain.com/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi
  7. Copy the ..\tm1_64\bi_interop\bi_interop.zip file from the TM1 installation location to the root of the Cognos Analytics Server installation directory (the ..\c10_64 directory).
    If you are using a distributed Cognos Analytics server environment, copy the file to the computer that is running the TM1 Data Tier or TM1 Web tier.
  8. Extract bi_interop.zip so the directory structure is maintained.
    The pmhub.html file should be in the ..\c10_64\webcontent directory.
  9. Edit line 51 in the pmhub.html file to include the fully qualified domain name and port number of the IBM Cognos TM1 Applications Service that runs the TM1 Operations Console.
    • If you are using the WebSphere Liberty Profile web server provided with TM1, this is the server where TM1 Application Server is running.
    • If you are using your own web server, this is the server where you deployed pmhub.war.
    For example: 
    var pmhubURLs = ["http://tm1appshost.domain.com:9510"];
    You can also include multiple URLs if the TM1 Operations Console is used on multiple systems. For example:
    var pmhubURLs = ["http://tm1appshost1.domain.com:9510", 
"http://tm1appshost2.domain.com:9510"];
