[VBA] Is it possible - object ID in a data provider

sdk development
#1

Hi,

I have a VBA code which lists objects included in a data provider of a report. My problem is that BO VBA library (11.5) reference lets me list only the names of those objects (‘Result’ class has string ‘Object’ property). But I need their universe IDs. Is there any way to get them (apart from writing code searching the universe, based on class and object names) ?

Regards,
Vivi

The utility posted here records (almost) all of the information about the universe-based data provider objects used in a report. Part of that information is the class name and object name.

Within a universe, class name and object name is a unique combination. It is that combination that you would use as an “ID” for the any given universe object.
