Initial Configuration

Check the TM1 instance configuration

Immediately after a fresh install of an empty ContentStore the configuration should be checked and confirmed before continuing with building apps.

Locate the tm1s.cfg file for the ContentStore and check the following:

• PortNumber parameter doesn't conflict with any other TM1 instances on the same server

• HttpPortNumber parameter doesn't conflict with any other TM1 instances on the same server

• DataBaseDirectory & LoggingDirectory are appropriately set (should be managed with relative path versus location of config file e.g. ..\Data so should never be a reason to change unless local management policy requires a different location)

• EnableNewHierarchyCreation must be set to true

Check the UseSSL parameter and note if this is set to true or false (by default if missing UseSSL=t)

Open

Locate the instances.json file for the UX webapp matching the ContentStore instance. This will be located at:

<InstallRoot>\ApliqoServer\webapps\<WebAppName>\WEB-INF\instances.json Open the file in a text or code editor and check the following:

• name key must be "contentStore". This cannot be changed!

• restUri key must use the correct IP address or DNS name for the server where the

• Depending on the UseSSL setting in the tm1s.cfg http: or https: needs to be used

• The port in the url must match the HttpPortNumber parameter in tm1s.cfg

Open

The ContentStore is installed with a very basic tm1s.cfg file. You are free to customize the configuration, for example changing the instance name (as Apliqo UX connects via Restful API, it only cares about the restUri. The instance name is only relevant for the adminhost and clients using the C API). If CAM security is required then security mode should be changed along with other parameters required for CAM authentication. The only things you must pay particular attention to are:

• Hierarchy creation must be enabled

• HttpPortNumber (& SSL) setting must match with the instances.json fil in order for the front end to be able to connect to the ContentStore

Log in to ContentStore

The standard install configuration for the ContentStore is

• IntegratedSecurityMode=1

• User: Admin

• Pwd: apple

You can log into the ContentStore with the default Admin credentials to check everything is working.

While logged on as the Admin user you should set up additional user(s) for yourself and other TM1 Administrators.

Internal settings

The ContentStore saves some standard settings in the cube }APQ Settings. It is important to make sure that some key settings are set in order for functions such as file import and export and backups to work properly.

Open the }APQ Settings cube in a cube viewer and go to the "File System Location Parameters" section:

» Mandatory parameters

The parameters marked with * are essential to configure correctly.

• Instance: this is the root location for the ContentStore. This is the parent directory where the CFG, Data. Log, etc. folders are located

• Data Dir: data directory for the ContentStore. Usually called "Data"

• Backup: location for file system backups

• Export: default location for exports

• 7Zip: the location of the 7-Zip executable. This is used by the backup job to compress the files in the data directory

» Optional parameters

For the ContentStore only the stared parameters above are mandatory but it is also possible to enter some additional parameters.

» Instance name parameters

These parameters are more for informational purposes.

The only one which has any impact on ContentStore behaviour is TM1 Server Name which is used for file naming when creating backup archives.

» Bedrock control parameters

The ContentStore contains a small collection of bedrock 4 library processes. When calling bedrock processes other processes from the ContentStore look up this location for the delimiters to use.

There is no reason to ever change these values from the standard ones.
