How copy files to several servers

Product:
Planning Analytics 2.0.9.10
Microsoft Windows 2016 server

Issue:
I have several Cognos BI servers, where i need to update the planning.html file on, to make SSO work for TM1.

Solution:

On your source TM1 server, create a folder c:\script\tm1.

Create a text file serverslist.txt, where you enter the name or IP address of the servers.

Copy the updated planning.html, pmhub.html and tm1web.html files to this folder.

Create a powershell file, copyfiles.ps1, with this content:

# run the script on the source machine
# remote machines list 
$machines= Get-Content -Path "c:\Script\tm1\serverslist.txt" 
foreach ($onemachine in $machines) 
{ 
Write-Host "Currently the script is copying files on" $onemachine 
Copy-Item -Path "c:\Script\tm1\planning.html" -Destination "\\$onemachine\c$\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\webcontent" -Recurse
Copy-Item -Path "c:\Script\tm1\planning.html" -Destination "\\$onemachine\c$\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\webcontent\bi" -Recurse
Copy-Item -Path "c:\Script\tm1\pmhub.html" -Destination "\\$onemachine\c$\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\webcontent" -Recurse
Copy-Item -Path "c:\Script\tm1\pmhub.html" -Destination "\\$onemachine\c$\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\webcontent\bi" -Recurse
Copy-Item -Path "c:\Script\tm1\tm1web.html" -Destination "\\$onemachine\c$\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\webcontent\tm1\web" -Recurse
Copy-Item -Path "c:\Script\tm1\tm1web.html" -Destination "\\$onemachine\c$\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\webcontent\bi\tm1\web" -Recurse
}

Ensure that the paths are correct for your servers, if you have installed to D: drive you need to update the powershell script to reflect this; “\\$onemachine\d$\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\webcontent\bi\tm1\web”

Start a powershell window as administrator.

The person logged in must have local admin rights on all cognos servers for this to work.
