Watch Ozzie code!

Tomorrow - Wednesday, February 7, 2018 starting at 11AM MST - @Ozzie will live-stream his use of the Python SDK as he spends his Innovation Days building his enhanced version of the Download tool. Return here to watch him via Twitch. And say hi or ask him questions in the chat room!

Thanks for posting- can't wait to see this. If @Ozzie is looking for additional suggestions to highlight the PythonSDK, I might suggest taking up this idea from the dev space community: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Dev-Space/Connect-to-Essbase-Alteryx-11-0/m-p/113392 in which it was suggested to build a custom connector tool for Essbase by leveraging essbasepy https://github.com/jasonwjones/essbasepy

Watch the 5+ hours of Ozzie coding below. At some point we'll look to splice out some useful nuggets as training content.

Ozzie,

This is great thank you for sharing. I am sorry I missed the live session. I would love to see one on the HTML SDK and I am signing up for Twitch today!

Thank you @NeilR for setting this up. I would love to see more videos like this posted.

This is really cool. Is there a chance that this will become a regular event? I've followed the Twitch stream.

@StephenRuhl & @andrewdatakim - thanks for your feedback - we will certainly try to make this happen again!

This was awesome! Huge thanks to @Ozzie for sharing with us!

I learned a lot, and I'm not nearly a developer.

@NeilR It looks like the video is no longer available on Twitch. Is there a recording somewhere that could be placed on Youtube?

Re: Watch Ozzie code!

NeilR — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 14:53:24 GMT

Oops it looks like Twitch deletes the videos after 30 days - sorry about that, we'll try to save it next time.

Hey @Ozzie and @NeilR - was the version of the Download tool that Ozzie was working on ever published?

Reason for asking is that we have ongoing challenges with the download tool (specifically around timeouts; retry errors - and the lack of support for OAuth) and so we're thinking of building something similar ourselves.

Would be great if we could use your innovation days build as a starting point in Python?

@SeanAdams

It was never published. It was one of these personal projects that unfortunately I didn't get a chance to finish. My github repo is still there for this: https://github.com/ozzieD/Python---Download-Tool but If I were you I'd probably start from scratch and just use snakeplane to develop. Luckily python has a great api library with requests and finishing this tool would be a huge win for many customers.
