Batch command to check if user his currently logged into PTC

[mvard]

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

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.

I get the same error when trying to open the link provided.

It looks like that was the incorrect article and was not yet published (which I have just made visible). The better article would probably be CS119082 in my opinion.

Oops! That's actually exactly the article I had intended to reference. Thanks Joe!

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
