Remove level from an asset tree

[JDLom]

Hi,

 

In one of my asset trees I have 2 levels (red ones) that are useless and I want to get them out while keeping the assets further down the tree.

GBR Wonderware (Level 1)
|-- Public Groups (level 2)
    |-- PBLEINER_BRAZIL (level 3)
        |-- Area_010 (level 4)

 

How do I move all assets under level 3 to level 1 ?

I tried the genAI asisstant but it give me mytree.children() which is an attribute that doesn't exist in Spy.

Hi JDLom,

You can move assets using the move method.  This is covered in the Spy Documentation under Asset Tree 1 - Introduction for reference.

Here is an example of moving Area A asset to My CSV Tree:

Example of what your script may look like:

mytree.move(source='Area_010',
             destination='GBR Wonderware')

Hi Chris,
Thanks, I am familiar with the move I was just curious if there is a way to easily get a list of all children below my level 3 as Area_010 is not the only one, there are + 100 other children there. Once I have that list I can loop it over.

kr,

You can execute a spy.search at your level 3 for assets and then create a list of all the assets.  

asset = spy.search({'Path': 'GBR Wonderware >> Public Groups >> PBLEINER_BRAZIL', 'Type':'Asset'})
asset_list = asset['Name'].tolist()

for asset in asset_list:
    mytree.move(source=asset,
                destination="GBR Wonderware")

mytree.visualize()

Awesome, thanks Chris!
