Hi Gurus,
I am trying to Capture Contributor Usage by application. May be it was answered here and might not have the right search criteria. Can someone please point me to the documentation?
I have these lines in the tm1s.properties file and I capture user-login. I want Contributor Usage by application and if possible how long they were on TM1.
As far as the TM1 server is concerned, Contributor is really nothing more than a series of special cubes and processes that all begin with }tp*. To that extent I don't believe there is going to be any logging that you can capture tm1s-log.properties file specific to Contributor versus any other use of TM1. The transaction log is going to capture any changes to the cubes including in your application and the server log will capture the execution of any of the }tp* processes. AFAIK that's all the logging that I am aware of that you'll be able to do.
You could hack the Contributor webapp and insert a javascript function which could write back to a database or text file when users log in to Contributor
But beyond that you are probably limited to inserting some snippets into the user triggered }tp TI processes such as taking ownership or submitting. That will give you some tracking on security changes and task status changes. It isn't quite what you are after but I don't think there is any easy (or even moderately difficult) way to get what you want.
Please place all requests for help in a public thread. I will not answer PMs requesting assistance.
When an application is opened, the process }tp_initialize_session is run.
You can find this in the TM1 Message Log with the message "Process "}tp_initialize_session" executed by user "username"".
You could add some code to this process that logs when this process is run by what user.
Note though that upgrading TM1 could lead to this process being overwritten by a new one, after which you need to add the custom code again.

I looked this morning and even after our weekly server restart, all the }tp_ processes were overwritten by new ones. If you really want to modify a }tp process, you have to change the script in the install directory: D:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1_64\webapps\pmpsvc\WEB-INF\ti_scripts ... That being said, you should NEVER modify these files and if you do, any TM1 upgrade will override your changes.
