  • 1.  Get the PAfE version connecting to our PAW/PAL servers

    Posted Tue October 08, 2024 05:42 AM

    Hello Community,

    Is there a way (a log) where we can keep track of which version of PAfE is used by users connecting to our servers ?

    We've got plenty (several hundreds) of user worldwide and we notice that the performance was pretty good once you send the xll to the end user.

    Our concern is how we'll need to act for upgrades and at least we need to keep track of who is using which version of PAfE.

    Any suggestion will be more than welcome !

    Regards,

    Hi @Robert MILLI


    There is a roundabout way to capture the information you are looking for related to the user's PAfE version.

    To do this:

    Solution 1: Enable the TM1Top administration console activity logging in the tm1top.log file located in the TM1 logs directory.

    For example:

    Solution 2: Enable the session activity logging in the session.log file located in the TM1 logs directory.

    For both proposals, from here you can identify the name of the Excel file integrating PAfE as well as the version installed on the user's machine

    Hi Bob,

    You could also use the "Threads?$expand=Session" endpoint in the REST API to give you a result like the following:

    The above is via VBA in Excel but this could by done with other tools e.g. TM1Py, to run on a scheduler and log to a file.
