How to Start Arc

This article explains how to run Arc, access its web interface, and understand the configuration file that Arc creates on first run.

Where to Install Arc

Arc should be installed on the same server where TM1 is running. This gives Arc full access to ODBC data sources and text files used by TM1 Turbo Integrator processes.

If Arc is installed on a separate server or desktop, it will function normally except for ODBC and Text file preview in Turbo Integrator.

How to Run Arc

Arc is a single executable — no installation is required.

  1. Download and unzip Arc from code.cubewise.com/arc-download

  2. Double-click arc.exe to start Arc.

  3. A console window will appear. If Arc cannot find its configuration file, it will show an error on first run — this is normal. Arc will then automatically create the settings.yml file with default settings.

How to Access Arc

Once running, open a web browser and navigate to:

Access Point

URL

Access Point

URL

From the same server

http://localhost:7070/

From a remote machine

http://ServerName:7070/

By default, Arc connects to the local admin host and will display all TM1 instances running on the same server.

Connecting to a Remote TM1 Server

If Arc is installed on a different machine from TM1, edit settings.yml and update the adminhosts parameter to point to the remote TM1 admin host:

adminhosts: - https://tm1server:5898

Note: Port 5898 is the default TM1 admin host REST API port. To verify it is accessible, open a browser and go to: https://servername:5898/api/v1/Servers

After changing settings.yml, restart Arc by closing the console window and double-clicking arc.exe again.

Checking the Windows Firewall

If you cannot access the Arc UI or TM1 instances:

  • Ensure port 7070 (Arc) is open in the Windows firewall.

  • Ensure the TM1 admin host port (5898) and REST API port (e.g. 8111) are open.
