TM1Kill

Disconnect all your users before the nightly chores

TM1Kill is a small executable that cancels ALL running threads or disconnects ALL users connected to TM1.

The program is written using C# and runs on the .NET framework 2.0 or later. All communication with TM1 is through the C API, if you are interested in understanding how the C API works in TM1 this is a good example.

The main reason to use TM1Kill is to run it before your nightly chores, so you make sure that there is no other threads running and no users logged in before the nightly chores start.

Setup

For the program to run, it must know the location of tm1api.dll (64 bit), you can either:

  • Add tm1kill.exe to the TM1 64 bit bin directory, i.e. C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\bin64
  • Add the TM1 64 bit bin directory (C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\bin64) to your PATH system variable.
  • Add the TM1 64 bit bin directory (C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\bin64) to your PATH in a batch file.

Sample Batch File:

set PATH=C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\bin64 tm1kill.exe -adminhost “localhost” -server “CXMD” -username “admin” -password “” -cancel -disconnect

You must pass -CANCEL or -DISCONNECT or both. If you pass both arguments tm1kill will cancel all running threads and then disconnect all users.
