You open a platform session using the default value of the signon_control parameter (signon_control=True).
In future library version v2.0, this default will be changed to False.
If you want to keep the same behavior as today, you will need to set the signon_control parameter to True either in the library configuration file
({'sessions':{'platform':{'your_session_name':{'signon_control':true}}}}) or in your code where you create the Platform Session.
These alternative options are already supported in the current version of the library.

You can use the Refinitiv Data Library for Python to retrieve metadata about all of the companies in a stock index.
To do so, pass the index’s Refinitiv Instrument Code with a 0# prefix to the fundamental_and_reference component of package’s content submodule.
The method requires that you specify at least one field to retrieve for each company, in addition to its code. Here’s how to retrieve the name and ticket symbol of each of the 30 entries in the Dow Jones Industrial Average:
rd.content.fundamental_and_reference.Definition(
universe=["0#.DJI"],
fields=[
"TR.CommonName",
"TR.TickerSymbol"
],
).get_data().data.df
