Hi guys, as I know that Ignition gateway has a page called Perspective Sessions. May I know that it is possible to display all the data there in my project and display in a table format. From what I research I know that there is a script called ( System.perspective.getSessionInfo() ) can do it but I had try many times already it still cant work for me. May I know that anyone here have the example of these script. Thanks in advance ---

```python sessions = system.perspective.getSessionInfo() data = [] for session in sessions: keys = session.keys() newRow = [] for key in keys: newRow.append(str(session[key])) data.append(newRow) self.getSibling("Table").props.data = system.dataset.toDataSet(keys, data) ``` ---

Can u please help me to get name , title and description from this syntax **system.perspective.getProjectInfo()** I tried the above methods , but couldn’t find. For easy reference: [system.perspective.getProjectInfo - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.perspective.getProjectInfo) ---

I had tried this in the gateway scope and it is pushing the error, don’t know what I had done is wrong, the same script that you had gave even I tried. Anything specific that I need to check?? com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.JythonExecException: Traceback (most recent call last): File “”, line 1, in at com.inductiveautomation.perspective.gateway.script.PerspectiveScriptingFunctions.lambda$getProjectInfo$26(PerspectiveScriptingFunctions.java:853) at java.base/java.util.Optional.orElseThrow(Unknown Source) at com.inductiveautomation.perspective.gateway.script.PerspectiveScriptingFunctions.getProjectInfo(PerspectiveScriptingFunctions.java:853) at jdk.internal.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor95.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No perspective session attached to this thread. at org.python.core.Py.JavaError(Py.java:547) at org.python.core.Py.JavaError(Py.java:538) at org.python.core.PyReflectedFunction. **call** (PyReflectedFunction.java:192) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.ScriptManager$ReflectedInstanceFunction. **call** (ScriptManager.java:541) at org.python.core.PyObject. **call** (PyObject.java:446) at org.python.core.PyObject. **call** (PyObject.java:450) at org.python.pycode.\_pyx7.f$0(:6) at org.python.pycode.\_pyx7.call\_function() at org.python.core.PyTableCode.call(PyTableCode.java:173) at org.python.core.PyCode.call(PyCode.java:18) at org.python.core.Py.runCode(Py.java:1687) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.ScriptManager.runCode(ScriptManager.java:788) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.project.ProjectScriptLifecycle$TrackingProjectScriptManager.runCode(ProjectScriptLifecycle.java:797) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.ScriptManager.runCode(ScriptManager.java:740) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.project.ProjectScriptLifecycle$TrackingProjectScriptManager.runCode(ProjectScriptLifecycle.java:778) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.TimerScriptTask.run(TimerScriptTask.java:90) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.runAndReset(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: org.python.core.PyException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No perspective session attached to this thread. … 22 common frames omitted Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No perspective session attached to this thread. at com.inductiveautomation.perspective.gateway.script.PerspectiveScriptingFunctions.lambda$getProjectInfo$26(PerspectiveScriptingFunctions.java:853) at java.base/java.util.Optional.orElseThrow(Unknown Source) at com.inductiveautomation.perspective.gateway.script.PerspectiveScriptingFunctions.getProjectInfo(PerspectiveScriptingFunctions.java:853) at jdk.internal.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor95.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.python.core.PyReflectedFunction. **call** (PyReflectedFunction.java:190) ---

Of course it will fail since the mentioned fucntion needs to be executed in the CS scope. Just put in a button or somewhere within the the client or session. Gateway is not the place for it! ---

Thanks, It worked, one more doubt Is there any way that I can get all the perspective project alone. I don’t want any vision project list. ---

`system.perspective.getProjectInfo()` only returns info about perspective projects. Also, it is available in the gateway scope, so I would expect it to execute just fine from a gateway script. Perhaps @cmallonee can give a bit more information? ---

Thanks for the information, I tried that, its showing some errors. Can someone help me on this I want to get all perspective projects from the gateway(atleast project names.). Is there any way to do that?
