Order of TI parameters

[EvgenyT]

Hi,

If you are as pedantic about your TI parameters order as I am, you have probably found yourself deleting and recreating parameters many times.
This limitation can be easily solved with PATCHing your TI via Rest API.

Simply change JSON around, After:

Indeed, I figured this out too. Call me pedantic too.

Before this, I used to open the PRO file in Notepad++, do a couple of Ctrl-Shift-Arrow up/down gestures, save/close the PRO file, restart TM1.
Still more handy than the doing it in the Parameters section of the process in Turbo Integrator.

Haha, guess it would work on a smaller model. Model here takes an hour to come, a small mistake in getting the order right

Indeed, it’s only workable for small TM1 models.

A question. In an environment without Postman (and TM1py and the likes), can we execute a REST API call by simply using a browser ? For example, a statement like the above. I know that simple GET requests like a list of cubes are easy in a browser but not sure about more advanced queries where additional headers are needed or body.

Anything in a browser's address bar is a GET request, so you can't do other request types that way. However, if you can add a browser extension in your environment then there are quite a few REST extensions to choose from with full functionality. For Chrome I can recommend Advanced REST Client.

Thank you Kamil. The weekend is approaching so we know what to do

[Wim Gielis]

I like the Advanced REST client, thanks Kamil.

@lotsaram: maybe it's worth adding this to the REST API page(s) on your company's website, to complement Postman.
To me this Chrome extension is a lightweight solution in cases where Postman, or any other such installation, on a corporate system is not possible.
