Prepare one folder say Kunal, in E:\ drive inside TM1 Application.

In that folder, create two folders as tm1_data and tm1 _log.

From any existing instances tm1_data folder, copy the cng file and paste it in your tm1_data file.

Make required changes in the cng file, like,change name in logging directory and data directory, port number,
security level,etc.

To setup a TM1 Server to run as a service:

1) Open a command prompt: Start > Run > cmd

2) Navigate to the TM1 bin directory using the cd command. Depending on the version of TM1 you
have installed, the default location of the bin directory will be "C:\Program Files\Cognos\TM1\bin". If
you installed TM1 to a different directory, navigate to the bin directory appropriately.

tm1sd.exe -install -nKunal -zPathtoTm1s.cfgFile(E:\TM1_application\-- path for folder Kunal that we

have created earlier)

NameOfTM1Server (after the -n) is the name you want to give to this TM1 Server service. If the name
you are going to use contains any spaces, this value must be specified in double quotes.
The PathtoTm1s.cfgFile (after the -z) is the path to the tm1s.cfg file for this the TM1 Server you are
setting up. This parameter value MUST be surrounded by double quotes if there are any spaces in the
path name.

For example:
tm1sd.exe -install -n"TM1 Production Server" -z"C:\Program
Files\Cognos\TM1\Custom\TM1Data\PData"

If the command is successful, it will return a message indicating so. For example:
TM1 Server / tm1 production server installed.

4) You can then go into the services listing, and you will see the new TM1 Server service you setup.
Following the above example, the service would be listed as:
TM1 Server / tm1 production server
You can then configure the service to run automatically, and to run under a specific domain user.

NOTE: If you are setting up a completely new TM1 Server for which you don't already have a tm1s.cfg
file, you can copy the tm1s.cfg from the Planning Sample TM1 Server and modify it accordingly. At a
minimum, you will need to modify the ServerName, DataBaseDirectory, and PortNumber parameter
values.

If the service does not start (error message stating the service cannot be started), starting the same
TM1 Logical server as a desktop application will usually provide more detailed information on the error.

2)

3) After that, to start this instance go to services.msc and manually start the required instance.

If you wish to remove a TM1 Server service (again, following the example above), follow steps 1 and 2,
then type the following command (substituting appropriate values where needed):
tm1sd.exe -remove -nNameOfTM1Server
The NameOfTM1Server (after the -n) is the name of the TM1 Server service you wish to remove. If the
name you are going to use contains any spaces, this value must be specified in double quotes.

For example:
tm1sd.exe -remove -n"TM1 Production Server"
