Getting the Cognos server version via SDK

[AlfredENeumann]

Hi,

I am wondering how to get the version of a Cognos server via SDK.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Timo

I just found out that there is a ping() method giving the version of the dispatcher. However, it seems as if it returns exactly the same result for version 8.1 and 8.2...

Hi Timo,

there is a way beside Cognos SDK. You can get the cmplst.txt via calling a link.

http://{Gateway-URI}?b_action=cmplst

This is like a ini. file. There you can read the Version of the connected system. Please note, you have to logged in as as accoung with system administration rights.

hope this helps.

Cheers,
Oliver
