This article describe the steps to use Arc with the IBM Cloud from the Remote Desktop System they provide. The instructions are based on using TM1 security mode 5 (the default):

1. Upload the Arc executable to your Remote Desktop System. The easiest way to do this is to use FTP upload facility.

2. Create a folder named Arc in your Documents

3. Save arc.exe to DocumentsArc.

4. Double-click on the Arc executable to start the Arc server.

5. Open settings.yml in Wordpad and change the admin host from https://localhost:5898 to https://data:5898

6. Save settings.yml

You must make a request to IBM support to get your non-interactive account setup, more info.

1. Navigate to the http://localhost:7070

2. Go to the About page of Arc (top right icon) and tick TM1 Credentials > Store Credentials.

3. Click on your TM1 instance to login, you need to use the TM1 automation credentials provided in your welcome pack:

   • CAM Namespace: LDAP

   • User Name: customername_tm1_automation

   • Password: password provided by IBM

After you have logged in you will need to add the TM1 non-interactive user to the Admin group if it hasn’t been added already. To do this:

1. Login in to Architect with your IBM Id

2. Right-click on the server: Security > Clients/Groups

3. Find the TM1 automation user and tick the Admin group box.

4. Close the browser and log back into Arc.

NOTE: The alternative to using the TM1 non-interactive credentials is to change TM1 to security mode 1
