Configuration

Connection settings are stored in a databases.yaml file. Here's an example:

databases:
  - name: mydb
    address: localhost
    port: 10001
    ssl: false
    user: admin
    password: ""

  - name: myremotedb
    address: tm1.example.com
    port: 20000
    ssl: false
    user: admin
    password: apple

If no databases.yaml file is found, tm1cli will look for environment variables starting with TM1_ and use them as the default database configuration.

For example, if you set the following environment variables, tm1cli will use them and will work just like in the configuration file example above:

  export TM1_ADDRESS=localhost
  export TM1_PORT=10001
  export TM1_SSL=false
  export TM1_USER=admin
  export TM1_PASSWORD=""

Notice: The clone command and the --database option are only supported with a databases.yaml file.
