Using TM1 Viewer Portlets in IBM Cognos 8
IBM® Cognos® Connection pages provide
quick access to IBM Cognos TM1® information. You can create a page with TM1 information. The TM1 content for pages is provided by the following
portlets:
- TM1 Cube Viewer
- TM1 Navigation Viewer
- TM1 Websheet Viewer
To access the portal administration area in IBM Cognos Administration, you must have execute permissions for the Styles and portlets secured feature, and traverse permissions for the Administration secured function. For more information, see Secured Functions and Features.
To set up TM1 pages in IBM Cognos Connection perform the following tasks:
- Install and activate TM1 Viewer Portlets in IBM Cognos Connection. For details on installing and configuring Viewer Portlets, see the IBM Cognos TM1 installation documentation.
- Configure TM1 to use IBM Cognos 8 security if you want to simplify the TM1 login process when using TM1 Viewer Portlets. Using TM1 with IBM Cognos 8 security can reduce the number of times that a user must log in to TM1 to access TM1 data from other IBM Cognos 8 applications. For more information, see the IBM Cognos 8 security section in the IBM Cognos TM1 installation documentation.
