Creating a Database Connection for TM1 Servers

After you create the database instance as described in Creating a Database Instance for TM1 Servers, create the database connection as follows:

1. Click New to create a database connection. Provide the following information as required:

   Database connection name: This is the name to distinguish the database connection from database connections for other database instances.

   URL: The URL of the MicroStrategy MDX Cube Provider that was configured for HTTP Access. This connector is installed as part of a MicroStrategy installation to support connections to TM1. The default URL is in the following format:

   http://fully-qualified-machinename/MicroStrategyMDX/MicroStrategyMDX.asmx

   The fully-qualified-machinename is usually of the form machine.domain.company.com. You can also use the IP address as the fully-qualified-machinename.

   DSI: The fully qualified machine name of the machine where the TM1 Admin Server is running.

   Catalog: The catalog represents the name of the TM1 server configuration, which is defined in the TM1S.cfg file. For more information, see your third-party TM1 documentation.

After creating the database connection, see Complete the Connection to the TM1 Servers for next steps.
