TM1 API get attribute values

[aking]

I'm trying to interface with TM1 through the API. I have a dimension from which I am trying to read the values in the attributes for elements. I can get a handle to the dimension and the elements fine, but if I do something like this:

Code: Select all

hPriorityAttr = TM1ObjectListHandleByNameGet(hPool, hDimension, TM1ObjectAttributes(), TM1ValString(hPool, "Priority", 8))
Debug.print TM1ValType(hUser, hPriorityAttry)

Debug prints out an error. The error is:
ObjectListIsEmpty (Or something along those lines)

My guess is I shouldn't be using the TM1ObjectAttributes(), but one of the other property list...doodads. Can Anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi:

Your current code is trying to get the attributes of a dimension, not the attributes of elements of the dimension. Try instead passing in a handle to one element from your dimension and you should get the handle to the attribute you're looking for.

Thanks, that did the trick.
