TM1 on Linux

A few things to notice:
1. When run issetup, you might see some lib files are missing. Google and find them put them into /usr/lib with required file names. They are all in 32-bit if you are installing 64-bit TM1.
2. Don't trust cogconfig.sh GUI. It somehow doesn't work and can't see the error behind it.
3. To bring up the sample, you need to check tm1s.cfg first to make sure it is in Unix format.
4. Use startup_tm1s.sh command to start your TM1 server and shutdown_tm1s.sh to stop it. They may ask for missing lib files as well. Google and find them put them into /usr/lib with required file names. They are all in 64-bit if you are installing 64-bit TM1.
5. To test ODBC, you need to setup unixODBC and corresponding linux ODBC drive for your DB.
6. Once ODBC is successful, you still need odbc_test.exe to testify your ODBC connection in TM1. It may also ask for missing lib files as well. Google and find them put them into /usr/lib with required file names. They are all in 64-bit if you are installing 64-bit TM1. They should match your TM1 and OS versions for 64-bit or 32-bit. DB version is not relevant here.
7. Setup ODBCINI environment variable and put ODBCLibraryPath into your tm1s.cfg.
8. All TM1 clients should still be in windows platform. You have to setup them in other machines.
9. All in all, in Linux/Unix, better to use command all the time, they are you best friends and can tell you where your errors are. Have fun in TM1 on Linux/Unix!
