IBM PLANNING ANALYTICS · CHECK YOUR VERSIONS

How to find your version number.
In PAW, TM1 and PAfE.

Missing a new feature or preparing a support request? Start by checking the version of the relevant component. In IBM Planning Analytics, PAW, TM1 Server and the PAfE Excel add-in have separate version displays.

The short answer

PAW: User menu → About IBM Planning Analytics.
TM1: Model menu → Server version.
PAfE: Help → About, or use the Excel formula below.

Read the video summary

The video first shows the version display in the PAW user menu, then the TM1 Server version in the model menu. In Excel, Help and About show the PAfE version. Alternatively, TM1INFO with the screleasefull argument returns the full version of the initialized PAfE add-in.

FIND THE VERSION NUMBER

Three components. Three places to look.

Choose the component you need to check. The numbers below come from the video and do not indicate the latest release.

PAW

The browser interface.

Open the user menu at the top. Choose About IBM Planning Analytics and read the Workspace version.

Example in the video: 2.1.23

TM1 Server

The database behind the model.

In the model overview, open the three-dot menu for the model you want to check. Choose Server version. The displayed number belongs to that TM1 Server.

Example in the video: 11.8

PAfE

The add-in in Excel.

In Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel, open Help and choose About. The information dialog shows the installed add-in version.

Example in the video: 2.1.22.4

PLANNING ANALYTICS FOR MICROSOFT EXCEL

Read the PAfE version in an Excel cell.

Initialize the PAfE add-in, then enter this formula in an empty Excel cell. It returns the full add-in version.

=TM1INFO("screleasefull")

FOR SUPPORT AND UPDATE PLANNING

Match the version to the component.

RECORD SEPARATELY

Each component matters.

Record PAW, TM1 Server and PAfE separately. A single number does not fully describe your environment.

KEEP THE DETAILS

The full number helps.

Include build numbers and additional digits where displayed. These details can matter when investigating an issue.

ADD CONTEXT

Name the environment and model.

Add whether you are working in test or production and which model is affected, so the version can be matched to the right environment.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Any questions?

Should PAW, TM1 and PAfE have the same version number?

No. They are separate components with their own version numbers. Different numbers alone do not indicate a problem.

Why does TM1INFO return an error?

For screleasefull, the PAfE add-in must be initialized. Otherwise, IBM documents a #VALUE! error. TM1 Perspectives does not support the function.

Is clientversion the same as screleasefull?

No. IBM distinguishes the TM1 client version from the full PAfE add-in version. Use screleasefull for the PAfE version shown here.
