TM1 Forum

Hello Everyone,

I would like to call the APIs for Pax outside VBA. Refer the below link

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgece ... devba.html

Want to do the same in vb.net. But not clear what is "To use IBM Cognos Office Automation outside VBA, you must create wrapper macros in the Microsoft Office document for each API. You can then call these macros from your code." in the above link. Not clearly understood. Guide me how to implement this.

Any suggestions kindly get back.

Thanks.

What exactly are you struggling with for the wrapper creation? There is a very clear example listed in the IBM documentation you provided. If there's a specific question about the code I'd be happy to help, but from my standpoint that example was very clear.

I am using vb.net app for the handling excel objects and tm1 reports. So I though of rewriting the .bas file in vb.net and call the automationserver.logon() from vb.net.
My code in vb.net is excelobj.COMAddIns.Item("CognosOffice12.Connect").object.AutomationServer which should return Cognos.Office.Framework.Automation.AutomationServer object but gives the below exception

Exception as "Automatioserver available only on STA."
