About the job
We are seeking a skilled Cognos TM1 Administrator to join our team. The ideal candidate will possess a comprehensive understanding of Windows servers and desktops, demonstrating proficiency in navigating the operating system both through the graphical user interface and command line. Candidates should be well-versed in Windows registry functionality, including the integration of installed applications, and should understand the nuances of running 32-bit applications in a 64-bit operating system environment. The ability to write or debug Windows scripts is essential, as is familiarity with troubleshooting application issues that may arise from the operating system rather than the application itself.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the installation and configuration of TM1 server and client applications, including TM1 Server, TM1 Operations Console, TM1 Applications, TM1 Web, and Microsoft Office TM1 client tools such as Perspective and Cognos Analysis for Excel (CAFÉ). You will also be tasked with applying patches to these components for version 10.1 and above.
Experience working with TM1 server in various authentication modes is crucial, as you will need to switch configurations between native security, LDAP, and Cognos Business Intelligence security integration. While experience with TM1 integration between Cognos Business Intelligence components is a plus, it is not a requirement.
Your role will involve monitoring performance and providing tuning recommendations for the TM1 Server, TM1 Instance, web server, and operating system to identify and mitigate potential bottlenecks. Knowledge of TM1 Disaster Recovery and backup/restore processes is also required.
