TM1 10.1 API Where is Docs? How to get Cam_Passport?

Post by asvlad »

1) When you install the client version 10.1, I can not find the libraries. Net api.
Also in the server side, I now can not find any documentation .Net api.

2) someone could give an example of API .Net to connect to a server in CAM SSO mode?
In particular: how to get the CAM _Passport string?
If there is needed to use Cognos BI SDK it means that there is needed to install MS SOAP libs.
But how TM1WEB is doing it without this libs and without cognos SDK libs?

Can't give you an answer on the CAM issues, but with regard to the location of the .Net API libraries see this thread.

The documentation was a .chm file which was indeed omitted from the original 10.1 release, the advice that I received from Support was that "We will publish the API .NET documentation in 10.2 and will make an online copy available in the near future". (I haven't checked that it was.)

The other thing to be aware of is that IBM doesn't seem to be putting a great deal of effort into the .Net API so I don't know how well it will support Cognos integration anyway.

Thank you for your replay.
BUT... what about the API libs in client distributive?.
I don't know now what should I require from my customers, who try to use my tools developed on TM1 API?
In past I have required to install TM1 client and set the path to the libs.
