Cognos TM1 Applications integration with Cognos BI and the Cognos Connection portal

If your TM1® installation uses Cognos® security for authentication, your Cognos BI users can use the Cognos Connection portal to open TM1 applications instead of the TM1 Applications portal. However, administrators still need to use TM1 Applications to configure and manage applications.

When you configure TM1 Applications to use Cognos security, you also enable the Cognos Connection portal to display a folder that contains links to the available TM1 applications. The exact list of displayed applications depends on the rights of the current user.

The planning.html file provides the information for Cognos BI and the Cognos Connection portal to display links to TM1 Applications. For more information, see Using Cognos TM1 Applications with Cognos security.

Note: You must have the TM1_PATH environment variable specified before connecting to Cognos TM1 under a UNIX environment.
