Where can the ServerSandboxExists function be used?

Which TM1 Server version is the ServerSandboxExists function available for?

What is the syntax for ServerSandboxExists?

• ​​SandboxName = Name of the existing sandbox to be cloned.​
• UserName = Optional parameter with a user’s name to check if the sandbox exists. If omitted, TM1 will check the user who is running the process. This parameter only works if an Admin, DataAdmin or the given user is running the process. If not, TM1 will return an error.​
  
  Note: Sandboxes are a private space for users to work and insert values. These values are stored separately from the TM1 database.
