Getting the Workflow Profile Text1 attribute value using BRApi

I am trying to get the Text1 field value using a Business Rule and put this value in a cube view that is being used as Form.

Does anyone have done this before? Is it possible to get the Text1 value from the Workflow Profile using BRApi?

Thanks for the help.

At least for our implementation we don't have too many distinct Form Templates so it is really only an initial setup thing in my opinion.  Also, a reminder: you should be adding more Forms to the Template.  Not creating new Templates for singular Forms.  This way any new form they add to the Form Template will already benefit from the metadata you are adding to that step.

Back to your original question, yes, we can get at it; it is just ugly.  Assuming usage in an XFBR String Business Rule

myString = BRApi.Workflow.Metadata.GetParent(si, args.SubstVarSourceInfo.WorkflowUnitInfo.ProfileName).GetAttributeValue(BRApi.Finance.Scenario.GetScenarioType(si, args.SubstVarSourceInfo.WFScenario.DimId).Id, 18000)

Where the Attribute Index is:

Text1 = 18000, Text2 = 20000, Text3 = 22000, Text4 = 24000


Yes it is ugly. I could not get this piece working properly:

GetAttributeValue(BRApi.Finance.Scenario.GetScenarioType(si, args.SubstVarSourceInfo.WFScenario.DimId).Id

I replaced with:

 

Dim wfClusterPK As WorkflowUnitClusterPk = si.WorkflowClusterPk

 

Dim wfScenarioTypeID As Integer = BRApi.Workflow.General.GetScenarioTypeId(si, wfClusterPK)

 

Dim sVarStep2 As String = BRApi.Workflow.Metadata.GetParent(si, args.SubstVarSourceInfo.WorkflowUnitInfo.ProfileName).GetAttributeValue(wfScenarioTypeID, 18000)

It brought the correctly value.

Hi sfilho:

Are you only using the Text1 as a POV selection in the cube view?  If so, you can reference it directly in the Cube View as |WFText1|, no BR required.  Let us know if that satisfies your requirements.

Helllo There, The Text1 field that I am using is at the level highlighted in red. Is not at the ".Forms" level.

Thank you for the help

If you're in a XFBR, you should be able to use args.SubstVarSourceInfo.WFText1 .

Unfortunately the Text1 field I need to get the information from is not at the ".Forms" level.

Thank you for the help.
