These are the minimum settings that should be reviewed when first installing Apliqo FPM. You should review all the settings and make sure they are appropriate for your environment.
In this section we will cover.
The first-time you log into Apliqo FPM you see the Get Started page.
If you change the ADMIN password, you will also need to update the password in the following places.
Splicer: Update the Admin password in \[Apliqo FPM]\batch\rule-splicing-tool\config\connection.json file.
TM1RunTI: Update the Admin password in \[Apliqo FPM]\batch\TM1RunTIConfig.ini file.
Check that the following settings are true for your environment.
Navigate to the tab, Administration > System > Settings > Essential Params
Enter full file path to where the Apliqo FPM instance is located in the Location:Instance. The other location parameters will default to the standard locations created by the installer. Un-check any location parameter that is not correct and enter the correct full path for the location parameter.
Enter the Customer Name and Customer Key provided by Apliqo.
Navigate to the tab, Administration > System > Settings > File System Location Params
Check the Location: Debug parameter agrees with the folder path.
Check the Location: TM1RunTI parameter. This the full file name for TM1RunTI.exe that is installed as part of Planning Analytics. The default path is: C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\bin64\tm1runti.exe. Check the Location:TM1RunTI Config parameter. This can be found at \[Apliqo FPM]\batch\TM1RunTIConfig.ini. Check that the password in the TM1RunTIConfig.ini agrees with the ADMIN password used be ApliqoFPM.
Note to update the config.ini.
For this training material we are using the Apliqo demo.sqlite database.
Navigate to the tab, Administration > System > Settings > Database Connection Params
Check the ODBC Connection agrees with the SQL-Lite database OBDC. The ODBC Datasource parameter is set to “ApliqoFPM_ODS”. This must agree with the ODBC Data Source Connection that was created by the installer.
The ODBC Datasource User parameter and ODBC Datasource Pwd parameter are left blank for the demo.sqlite database.
Navigate to the tab, Administration > System > Settings > Backup Params. Check the TM1 Server Name parameter has the value ApliqoFPM.
There is 7zip.exe installed with Apliqo FPM located at, .\[Apliqo FPM]\batch\7z\7za.exe.
To confirm the backup settings are correct, run the [Backup] process. You should get the message:
