Getting Started with Arc on the Cloud

This page is a starting point for users whose TM1 instances are hosted in the cloud — either on the IBM Planning Analytics Cloud (PA SaaS) or on a private cloud platform (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.).

Using Arc on the IBM Cloud

TM1 REST API port accessible but admin host not available

Connect to a TM1 Instance Directly via the REST API

General Guidance for Cloud Environments

  • Arc connects to TM1 via the TM1 REST API, not the admin host. In cloud environments where only the REST API port is exposed (not port 5898), use direct REST API connections in settings.yml.

  • For IBM PA SaaS, authentication is done via IBM ID / OAuth or a non-interactive account — not via the admin host method.

  • Arc itself can be installed on a developer's laptop, on the cloud virtual machine, or on a dedicated server — it does not need to run on the TM1 host.
