  • 1.  How to determine build no / version of Planning Analytics on cloud server

    Posted 03/11/19 10:46 AM
    Just came across a tech note regarding incompatibility between versions of PAx and Planning Analytics (server I suppose).

    I know how to check the build no /version for PAx  and PAw but not the PA server on cloud. 

    Can someone provide some guidance?

    Hi Jesper, 

    The build number for the TM1/PA server is written to the tm1server.log file when the service starts.

    On the PA Cloud, you can download the server logs by navigating to "Administration" (need to be a PAW Administrator), click the three dots on the top right of the relevant TM1 server tile, then click download logs.

    If you can't easily find the line, search for "TM1 Build Number" and make note of the log time. If you've recently upgraded, there could be multiple build numbers in the same tm1server.log file, so always best to check the date.

    See the screenshots below for more info

    Pro tip: The tm1server.log file also prints out all settings specified in the tm1s.cfg file, which can be very useful when troubleshooting issues!

    Thanks Cyrus.
    Very helpful. Do you also know how I "convert" the build number to a PA version like 2.0.4 or 2.0.6? The tech notes tend to mention version number rather than build number.

    Hi Jesper, 

    That's a good question. For legacy TM1 server versions (10.2.2 and previous), IBM maintained a table on DeveloperWorks of TM1 server versions and their corresponding build numbers for base and fix pack releases. I'm not sure if this is still the case for Planning Analytics.

    I've been maintaining my own table that I update each time I upgrade:
    • 2.0.3 -> 11.1.00004.2
    • 2.0.4 -> 11.2.00000.27
    • 2.0.5 -> 11.3.00000.27
    • 2.0.6 -> 11.4.00000.21
    Your build number might be slightly different depending on if you've applied any Interim Fixes. The build numbers above should be for the "base" release version.

    Hi Cyrus,

    The base version build numbers of TM1 server for each PA release can be found here - at the end of each release description. See below for the link and the example.
