IP-adress of client

spartacus · #1 24th August 2007, 17:28

Is there a way to determine the ip-adress of the actual client/user from Baan or via unix/bshell?

OK, we are on Baan 5c!

Hello Spartacus,
On HP-unix the command last -1 -R gives the last time when a user was logged on and also the ip address of the client. I don´t know if in Solaris there is a equivalent command.

Good luck.

On solaris the command is 'last -n 1 [username]' .

Hi,

By running command "ps -ef | grep bshell" on the application server, you can get "Computer Name" of client.

Refer below Example:

ps -ef|grep bshell|pg
user1 23958 354 0 12:51:50 ? 0:12 bshell (p116144@4068mp:3904/SOCKET<p116144@4068MP:3904>) -1 545 0 1 ttstpoledae
user2 24185 354 0 13:36:48 ? 0:02 bshell (p997275@5092mp:3960/SOCKET<p115431@5092MP:3960>) -1 545 0 1

Hi,

thank u all!!

I tried the "last" command on our SunOS. In my case it doesn't deliver directly the IP-Adress, but some kind of alias or a domain for it. I can "ping" that and then I will see the IP.

Unfortunatelly that is such as uncomfortable, as the use of "ps -ef..." as Kaustubh describes.

More strange is, that it only delivers values for my own user. For other persons I get only an info about the begin of "wtmp". Maybe a prob ob permissions?

Regards
Richard

Hi,

The last command gives list of users who had last logged into unix system and not "the list of users logged in through baan".

I think in your company, only you are accessing baan server through telnet session and that is why, only your IP is appearing there...You can even try to login to the server via telnet through some other PC and then check output of last command. It should also add that IP there...

a guess...

Hi,

Since you are on Baan 5, have you tried get.bw.hostname()?

Hi George,

thank you for that hint. I haven't seen this function before. I think I will try it!

Hi All -
We have a free tool on our web site that you can load, it's a Baan session that runs and collects the users login information for you to view at any time, such as:
Client IP Address
Client BW Version
Client OS and Version

All of the information can be found using the commands in this post & others, this just does the collection for you and gives a way to view it in Baan.

http://www.rmcis.com/BaanTools.htm

It will ask for your name & email, etc.

I have just seen the get.bw.ip.address function. I think it is exactly what you need. It is not in the Wiki yet but it should work on your Baan.

Quote:

Syntax
string get.bw.ip.address( )

Description
This returns the ip-address of the system of the BW or Webtop client (if available)

Return values
Return value Function succeeded, return value is the requested ip-address
Empty string Information is not available

Context
Bshell function.

Hi George,

sounded really great, but my compiler can't find this function. Is there any include or SP-Level necessary?

Some typing error?
I tried:

Code:

domain tcmcs.str20 myip
myip = get.bw.ip.address()

Richard

george7a · #12 12th September 2007, 14:28

No typing error. This is the documentation information that the function was found in:

Did the get.bw.hostname() function work?

spartacus · #13 12th September 2007, 15:03

"get.bw.hostname()" works.

I searched the Baan Support for the document code: "H1004 EN-US" but, can't find anything. What kind of doc is that "H......"? Think I saw that kind of code alreday somewhere, but at the moment I have no glue where :-(
I also searched knowledgebase for: "get.bw.ip.address()" but found also nothing.

It is a CHM file that was posted here in BB (I can not find the thread yet. I will post it when I find it.). It is written in it that it is for BaanERP. I found the function also in our LN manual (and it surely works in LN).
