Multiple Admin Host

[Eric]

My company was recently purchased by another company that has TM1. I am trying to access their TM1 servers.

There Server is in Germany
My server is in USA
We are both on 9.0
Obviously we have separate admin servers, since our setups were independent of each other.

Any magic to connecting to their system other than

Admin Host= myhostname;thierhostname

[Martin Ryan]

That should be it.

Any other issues should be network related. Make sure the client can navigate across the WAN to see the admin host.

don't expect miracles with performance either, unless you're connecting via some form of terminal services.

Have you pinged the DNS name they have given you to make sure a) you can see it and b) it's not been used by something in the US?

[Eric]

The WAN connection should be setup sometime this week. I just wanted to make sure I had my bases covered.

Thanks

Performance... yeah not looking forward to that but ohh well. I know a terminal service is being setup within a month, but as always I need the data now.

Remember that the ports for both the admin host and the TM1 server need to be opened on the firewall, which I assume will be in place...

[ScottW]

Hopefully your TM1 server names aren't both "tm1serv", if you try to connect to multiple admin hosts each with a TM1 server of the same name then your client session won't be able to resolve the name conflict and will most likely crash.

[glaurens]

Actually, your client won't crash, it will just connect to the evaluate available servers in the order of the admin host list. So if you have a 'tm1serv' on the second and fourth admin hosts, it will always connect to tm1serv on the second host.

Thanks for the clarification. Maybe I was thinking of multiple servers with the same name on a single admin host ... that certainly wouldn't be pretty.
