When trying to alter the description of logical tables and cubes, nothing happens. Other objects are working fine, e.g. attributes, metrics, Grids etc. No errors are thrown, in fact below shows an example confirmation message in the output
OlapCube 'Intelligent Cube' has been modified on the server. Your changes are saved locally.
Below is a snippet of the code used
objects = list_olap_cubes(connection=mstr_connection, project_id=mstr_connection.project_id,
name=row['Name'], search_pattern=SearchPattern.EXACTLY)
if len(objects) > 1:
for obj in objects:
if obj.location == row_path_normalised:
update_description(mstr_connection, obj, ado_num)
break
else:
update_description(mstr_connection, objects[0], ado_num)
def update_description(mstr_connection, obj, ado_num):
# Objects like transformations don't have a location property for some reason
try:
location = getattr(obj, 'location', 'unknown')
except TypeError:
location = 'unknown'
print(f"{obj.__class__.__name__} Name: {obj.name} - ID: {obj.id} - Location: {location}")
if obj.description:
# some objects won't change if the description is blank so replace with space
new_obj_desc = obj.description.replace(f"[{ado_num}]", " ")
obj.__class__(connection=mstr_connection, id=obj.id, name=obj.name).alter(description=new_obj_desc)
else:
print(f"Warning: {obj.name} has no description to update.")
Is this a bug or am I approaching it wrong for these object types?
