How to use functions from ObjectService

[wimgielis]

Hello all,

Best wishes for 2024 !

Would someone have an example of how to call in a normal, regular, Python script where I already use TM1py (successfully):

1. ObjectService > suggest_unique_object_name
2. ObjectService > determine_actual_object_name

First, I have the need to suggest a unique object name. For instance, create a temporary dimension, use it, then destroy it again.
Second, when I have a variable with 'REvENue', I want to check if such a cube exists in the TM1 server, and also convert it to the real cube name "Revenue" (when it exists).

What would the syntax be to call these functions ? Notably, the "self" parameter in the function. The other variables are straightforward. I am not sure how to use "self" and I get errors in VS Code. I am struggeling with "Imports" near the top of the script.

Thanks a lot !

ObjectService requires RestService to get instantiated. So, its not possible to directly use it. But, you can access those methods through CellService or ElementService or SecurityService as the ObjectService is inherited in these services:

from TM1py.Services import TM1Service

credentials = {}

with TM1Service(**credentials) as tm1:
    # To use the suggest_unique_object_name
    print(tm1.cells.suggest_unique_object_name())
    print(tm1.elements.suggest_unique_object_name())
    print(tm1.security.suggest_unique_object_name())

    # To use the determine_actual_object_name you have to pass the object_class and object_name
    print(tm1.cells.determine_actual_object_name(object_class='Cubes', object_name='}CliEntGroupS'))
    print(tm1.elements.determine_actual_object_name(object_class='Cubes', object_name='}CliEntGroupS'))
    print(tm1.security.determine_actual_object_name(object_class='Cubes', object_name='}CliEntGroupS'))

Works perfectly ! Thank you, learned something new.
