In my application I need to check if the user is logged into the PTC

I can check the process (si.exe) and conclude that PTC is running. But I cannot verify if the user has logged into PTC.

Is there any batch file to check if user is currently logged into PTC.

Thanks

The simplest approach to check whether the current user already has a running connection Integrity is the "si servers" command.

It lists all running connections to all servers and for all users currently established on this client, like this

<user>@<server>:<port>

If there is no connection it returns an empty string.

so for a batch file:

1. run "si servers" (it also starts the client it necessary)

2. search the resulting output for the correct triple: user, server and port

If it cannot be found, use "si connect" to connect your user to the server. (the "--gui" would enforce an interactive login).

If you you find it, you know the is a runnign connection you can use.

3. go ahead with your batch code

Hello Mohd,

Do you mean a CLI command that the user can use to see if a local user connection exists?

Take a look at CS92347‌ CS119082, which covers some useful commands for these types of situations.

Kael,

I could not view this. I got the following error:

Error: Document 92347 is not customer viewable as it is an internal PTC document.
