Applix TM1 Admin
Port 5495 is primarily used by the Applix TM1 Admin server, which is part of IBM's Cognos TM1 suite for enterprise planning, budgeting, and forecasting solutions. This port facilitates administrative communications with TM1 server instances, enabling configuration, model management, and service orchestration for business intelligence workflows..
IBM Cognos TM1 (formerly Applix TM1) is an in-memory multidimensional database optimized for financial planning, analytics, and corporate performance management. The TM1 Admin Server acts as a central management component to coordinate TM1 server instances, manage configuration files, and monitor server states. It handles requests related to service start-up, licensing, and model deployment.
Operating typically on TCP port 5495, the TM1 Admin server facilitates secure and reliable communications between various TM1 components. Clients and server instances establish connections with the Admin server to register themselves, query status, and perform administrative tasks. The client-server communication is built on proprietary protocols optimized for high-performance data access and control.
Deployments often include TM1 Admin servers hosted on dedicated systems or integrated into larger Cognos BI environments. Network segmentation and firewall rules are commonly used to restrict access to authorized TM1 administrator workstations, reducing unnecessary exposure of this management interface.
