Symptom:
How do I get the TM1 Operations Console to work on my TM1 server ?
Solution:
Install cognos TM1 64 version (tm1_64b_10.1.1_win_ml.tar) to default folder, including the operations console to get the war file in place.
Do the Configuration of Cognos Configuration to test the TM1 installation.
Stop the TM1 Admin services and TM1 applications services.
Start CMD (commando prompt)
Go to C: drive.
Enter
cd c:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\tm1_64\bin64\jre\6.0\bin
to move to that folder.
Note: On 64-bit computers, be sure to add the certificates to the bin64 folder.
Enter this to register the keystore:
keytool -import -file “C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\tm1_64\bin64\ssl\applixca.pem” -keystore “C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\tm1_64\bin64\jre\6.0\lib\security\cacerts” -storepass “changeit”

Start TM1 Architect
Go into a TM1 application ( planning sample )
Double-click on TM1 application to login.
Right-click and select security – clients/groups
Click “Add new group” from the groups menu.

The IBM Cognos TM1 Operations Console uses an .xml file to identify the user
group, server, and admin host to use. Before you can run the Operations
Console, you need to update this configuration file with the information that
describes your new monitoring group.
Start Windows Explorer
Go to folder C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\webapps\tm1operationsconsole\WEB-INF\configuration.
Open OpsConfig.xml in Notepad.
You want to add the admin host, TM1 server, and security group names to this
file. Enter values like this;
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<ops>
<adminhost name=”localhost”>
<server name = “planning sample”>
<group>Monitor</group>
</server>
</adminhost>
<DashboardRefreshRate>5</DashboardRefreshRate>
<EnhancedStatusDetail>true</EnhancedStatusDetail>
</ops>
Save the file after your changes.
Start the TMI Operations Console from the URL:
http://serverName:portNumber/tm1operationsconsole
serverName: computer where you have the TM1
Operations Console and Web application server
installed.
portNumber: port number where your Web
application server is running. Apache Tomcat
provided with the IBM Cognos TM1 installation
uses the default port number 9510.
