How to get the date time and number of times a document is downloaded from collab?

Murali_Natarajan

Hi All,

Generally when we click on the link of an object of type document in collaboration, the browser asks us to save/open that object by showing a pop-up with the message "Do you want to open or save this file ?"

If we click on the open button from the pop-up, then document gets opened using the application say MS-Word, Excel etc. And if we click on the save button then browser asks us to specify the location where the document will be saved. Once we set the location to save the document, the browser starts downloading the document and saves the same at the specified location.

We are working on a report to be generated by a python script which needs to show the following:

a) Number of times the document was downloaded

b) Last Date Time when the document was downloaded

c) Last Downloaded by

Are these available via an API that we can use in our python script ?
If not, are there any work arounds?

Thanks in advance!!

Here is a hint.  The audit history is available via an API call.  Try the following jython code.  This was written for a CBP so "target" is already defined via the CBP.

oAudit = target.getAuditTrail()
while oAudit.hasNext():
    audit = oAudit.next()
    System.out.println ( "Audit entries \n" + audit.toString() )
