and the client to communicate with the TM1 server.

1. In Windows Explorer, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties.
2. Go to the Advanced tab.
3. Click Environment Variables.
4. Under System Variables, select Path, and click Edit.
5. Copy the path to the TM1\bin directory on your client, and paste it in at the end of the shown
path.
