Introduction to Cognos TM1 API


Introduction:

This post describes the functions and features of the IBM Cognos TM1 Application Programming Interface. The API is intended to give complete access to all the features and functionality of the TM1 OLAP engine. The API is to be used with C, C++, and Microsoft Visual Basic.

The API has been optimized for use in a networked environment. As a result, the conventions used vary markedly from those used in previous versions of the TM1 API.
