Java API com.applix.tm1.TM1Val@1a93a0d8

[maps]

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to get familiar with the java api but I got some starting problems. Here is the code I wrote:

Code: Select all

       ...
	                 final String TM1SERVERNAME = "DevSystem";
		TM1Bean bean = new TM1Bean(); 
		bean.setAdminHost("....."); 
		System.out.println("Nr. of Servers: " + bean.getNumberOfServers());
		
		TM1Server server = bean.openConnection(TM1SERVERNAME, "myusername", "mypassword"); 
		System.out.println("Clientname: " + server.getClientName());

		TM1Dimension tm1d = server.getDimension("Kat4");
		System.out.println("number of El: " + tm1d.getElementCount());
		
		TM1Dimension tm1d2 = server.getDimension(5);
		System.out.println("number of El:" + tm1d2.getElementCount());
		
		bean.closeConnection(server);

Output of the printlns is:

Code: Select all

Nr. of Servers: 2
Clientname: com.applix.tm1.TM1Val@1a93a0d8
number of El: com.applix.tm1.TM1Val@5224d289
number of El: com.applix.tm1.TM1Val@6f7a4a80

The connection seems to be established because it finds all the servers (2).
But when I'm trying to access the objects and use the methods I'm getting the output u see above. "com.applix.tm1...."

What did I forget to do? Any ideas?

Hi,

The problem is that the methods you use (getClientName, getElementCount, etc)
do not return string or ints
but returns a TM1 "value wrapper class" called TM1Val.
Almost all TM1 method that return something, returns a TM1Val class object
(that is what you see here -> you are actualy trying to print the class itself).

So, for what you want to do to work, you can try this:

Code: Select all

      System.out.println("Nr. of Servers: " + bean.getNumberOfServers());

      TM1Server server = bean.openConnection(TM1SERVERNAME, TM1USER, TM1PWD);
      System.out.println("Clientname: " + server.getClientName().getString());

      TM1Dimension tm1d = server.getDimension("Kat4");
      System.out.println("number of El: " + tm1d.getElementCount().getInt());

      TM1Dimension tm1d2 = server.getDimension(5);
      System.out.println("number of El:" + tm1d2.getElementCount().getInt());

      bean.closeConnection(server);

You can checkout the javadoc in <TM1 install dir>\API\JavaDoc


Hope this helps.

My mistake. Of course I read the API, but I did'nt notice that. Thanks a lot.


Next time they should implement the toSting method in an informative way

@csjean
Are you familiar with using the java api? Do you know a source where I can get some programing examples? In the documentation of the api I can only find 4 examples and for me using the api is not that intuitive...
Especially information how to work with hierarchies would be helpful, because I don't know how to start...

Oh Yesss! I very much agree.

Unfortunately I'm not that familliar with using the API. I've tinkered a bit with it but that's it.
As for programming examples, I haven't found much...
I also agree with you that it's not that intuitive and not well documented (which is not a good combination IMHO).

For the working with hierarchies, can you be more precice about what you want to do?

Two things I'm struggeling with at the moment.

Hierarchy: Just want to walk through a hierarchy starting with an consolidated element. But I don't know how to start. Can't find a method to access an Instance of TM1Hierarchy (or level, member...). I've been looking in the methods of Server, Elements, Dimension. I just don't know how to start.

Dimension: I like to add a new Element to an existing Dimension. Should be pretty basic, especially because how to create a new dim and insert an element is explained in the examples. Creating a new Dimension and insert new elements and save this new dimension works perfectly like in the example.

Code: Select all

TM1Dimension testDim = server.createDimension();
testDim.insertElement(TM1Element.NullElement, "oh Im a new Element", TM1ObjectType.ElementConsolidated);
testDim.register(server, "Dimension Name"); 

But how can I add an new Element to an existing Dimension!

I tried it in the following ways.. Without success.

Code: Select all

//1.)
TM1Dimension testDim = server.getDimension("Dimension Name");
testDim.insertElement(TM1Element.NullElement, "oh Im a new Element", TM1ObjectType.ElementConsolidated);
testDim.updateDimension(testDim);
//or optionaly in addition with the register statement.

//2.)
TM1Dimension testDim = server.getDimension("Dimension Name");
testDim.insertElement(TM1Element.NullElement, "oh Im a new Element", TM1ObjectType.ElementConsolidated);
testDim.register(server, "Dimension Name");

Hi maps,

Here is my code that works.

The problem is that, you cant insert an element in a registered dimension.
You have to:

• Duplicate an existing dimension
• Work on the duplicated dimension (add elements and components)
• Check the duplicated dimension
• Update the original with the new

The following code works.

There's a lot of extra stuff so you can follow what happens.

Code: Select all

      TM1Dimension testDim = server.createDimension();
      if (testDim.isError()) {
          System.out.println( "CREATE DIM Error message:" + testDim.getErrorMessage());
      } else {
          bool = testDim.insertElement(TM1Element.NullElement, "oh Im a new Element", TM1ObjectType.ElementSimple);
          System.out.println( "INSERT Error message:" + bool.getErrorMessage());
          bool = testDim.check();
          System.out.println( "CHECK Error message:" + bool.getErrorMessage());
          bool = testDim.register(server, "ZZZZ_CSJ_TEST_DIM");
          System.out.println( "REGISTER Error message:" + bool.getErrorMessage());
      }
      testDim = server.getDimension("ZZZZ_CSJ_TEST_DIM");
      System.out.println( "GET DIMENSION Error message:" + testDim.getErrorMessage());
      TM1Dimension testDim2 = testDim.duplicate();
      System.out.println( "GET DIMENSION Error message:" + testDim2.getErrorMessage());
      TM1Element econso = testDim2.insertElement(TM1Element.NullElement, "oh Im a new Element 2", TM1ObjectType.ElementConsolidated);
      System.out.println( "INSERT2 Error message:" + econso.getErrorMessage());
      TM1Element echild = testDim2.insertElement(TM1Element.NullElement, "oh Im a new CHILD OF Element 2", TM1ObjectType.ElementSimple);
      System.out.println( "INSERT3 Error message:" + echild.getErrorMessage());
      
      /** Add Consolidation **/
      double f_tmp = Double.valueOf(1).doubleValue();

      econso = testDim2.getElement("oh Im a new Element 2");
      System.out.println( "getElement CONSO Error message:" + econso.getErrorMessage());
      echild = testDim2.getElement("oh Im a new CHILD OF Element 2");
      System.out.println( "getELEMENT CHILD Error message:" + echild.getErrorMessage());
      bool = econso.addComponent(echild, new TM1Val(f_tmp));
      System.out.println( "ADD COMPONENT Error message:" + bool.getErrorMessage());

      bool = testDim2.check();
      System.out.println( "CHECK2 Error message:" + bool.getErrorMessage());
      bool = testDim.updateDimension(testDim2);
      System.out.println( "UPDATE Error message:" + bool.getErrorMessage());

      
      bean.closeConnection(server);

Hope this helps.

Hi i'm new to TM1,I'm trying to read a cube with two dimension below example i can read the cube values.

TM1Val elemTitles = TM1Val.makeArrayVal (2);
TM1Element elerow;
TM1Element elecol ;

elerow = oCube.getDimension(0).getElement(1);
elemTitles.addToArray(elerow);
elecol =oCube.getDimension(1).getElement(1);
elemTitles.addToArray(elecol);

oCube.getCellValue (elemTitles);

I'm trying to read the view on a cube . The cube can have more than 2 dimensions. no been successful,If anybody can post some samples it would be really helpful.
