PM80286: TM1 API: PROBLEMS USING TM1SYSTEMADMINHOSTGET_VB

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• they have performance problems when opening the Subset Editor
  windows because of a lot of admin hosts which will be searched
  but are not active. For this purpose they administer a
  admin-host-list (Server and belonging admin-hosts) and in this
  list they want to reduce their admin-hosts to a number needed.
  If they try to connect to a Server they only want to load the
  belonging adminhost based on the list.  Not to impact negatively
  already existing server-connections they want to read already
  used adminhosts (TM1SystemAdminHostGet_VB), enhance the String
  with the new adminhost and write it back with
  TM1SystemAdminHostSet.  But when using TM1SystemAdminHostGet_VB
  each time a TM1SystemServerConnect was done successfully, the
  TM1SystemAdminHostGet_VB provides a WRONG string.  Please see
  attached code-example (quick explanation): 1)
  TM1SystemAdminHostSet sets the admin-host in this example to
  "czss0021-v25" 2) This string can be read using
  TM1SystemAdminHostGet_VB 3) Now a server-connection will be
  established using TM1SystemServerConnect 4) If at this point the
  admin-host will be determined using TM1SystemAdminHostGet_VB,
  the returned value is ???|,U? and is completely wrong
