Rules

I'm trying to use the DataBuffer.GetFilteredDataBuffer() function which returns a DataBuffer.  This function takes two parameters as follows: 1. DimTypeForFilter as DimType;  If I'm filtering for accounts this is DimType.Account.  DimType.UD1 for UD1, etc. 2. Now I'm having trouble with the second parameter.  memberIdsInFilter As Dictionary(Of Integer, Object) I find no examples on this.  Please help with an example.  

Has anyone found a use for the brapi function CreateSessionInfoForAnotherApp? If yes, can you please explain it as I cannot seem to find any documentation on this function.  This is the example I'm seeing in BR: Dim si As SessionInfo = BRApi.Security.Authorization.CreateSessionInfoForAnotherApp(siSource, appName, openAppResult)   How do we setup the siSource sessionInfo parameter? Assuming that siSource needs to be initialized with info from the sessionInfo from another active app connection? What can we then do with the si from another application? 🤔  

Hai Everyone! Does any one know business rule to create a new member in a dimension using business rule by extender.If anyone knows please let me know and Share me the VB.net code.

Im trying to create a formula for one of our Statistical Cal accounts.  Its a derivation of of a calc we already have.  However the line will no compile even when I copy the existing formula completely. Return api.Data.GetDataCell("(Divide(A#1200:I#None,A#TTM_Net_Sales_wo_IC)) * 365)") I can compile the existing account without issue, but when I copy this formula into the new account I get an error  

Dear Community, I am using FdxExecuteDataUnitTimePivot for getting my data in Time column wise manner. I need to display it in Time columns under which account columns should be created. Is there any way to create sub columns . I will attach screenshot for reference.  

Hi, I have a (.csv) file in my File Share Folder that I want to read and load into the cube using a Workflow Profile. I have written an extensibility rule for getting that file and reading the file contents and creating a Data Table. now what should I do next? Is this the right approach or is there any other way to accomplish this? Below is the code of the Extensibility rule. Thanks

Hi Community...! Here I'm getting Zero but instead of this I want to get  accounts data for that...Can you please share me some insights or some reference for this...?I'm using FDXExecuteDataunit method for this  

Dear Community , Is it possible to use a business rule to download a file from the file explorer to the local system? Thank You

Hello, I am trying to seed data from Actual to Forecast scenario. I am running the Business Rule through a DM step, whose data unit contains the forecast scenario, so that it picks this forecast scenario in the destination string. My Actual (Detail level accounts) are on more granular level and extend my planning accounts (plan and forecast accounts). The planning accounts are on top level.  Now, when i try to seed the data, it picks the Planning Accounts (since i have Forecast Account in my DM step), due to which my  Actual accounts are not picked up by the process. and the data copy is partial. I am trying this by using DataBuffer. Please let me know if there are any suggestions or solution to this. Thanks

Dear community, we have requirement of pulling level 2 parent for a member in writing UD8 Dynamic calc, do we have any method of pulling it in writing business rule. Any solution to this will be very helpful and appreciated.    

Hello Community...       I can get only one cell data from using FdxExecuteDataUnit. But After that i want to get all data including Rows and Columns. So, For that any sample code...? or what format i need to use..?

Hi Everyone,I have requirement to run 4 data management steps in parallel, is there a way to run 4 data management steps same time? Thanks in advance.  

Dear Community: I am trying to add a previous year M12 balance to a SCF report.  I can't seem to get prior year data to come over.  However, If I code the amount it does work. ' api.Data.calculate("A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment = A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment + A#33100:T#POVPriorYearM12") does not work ' api.Data.calculate("A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment = A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment + A#33100:T#2022M12") does not work ' api.Data.calculate("A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment = A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment + A#33100") does not work api.Data.calculate("A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment = A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment + -62225") ' Returns amount as intended   Thanks

Hi Everyone. Is there a way to delete accounts in a scenario that have a certain value, for example, 0?

Everyone, we are trying to create a data buffer using GetDataBufferUsingFormula where we would like to have the current entity or all the DU member's information included. Is there a way to do that? the idea is to get the buffer and then apply a filter based on the entity key. 

I showed it at Wave and share it with all of you: when you use JSON to log, you can log anything, not just strings, you can log a Dictionary, a list, a MemberInfo, even a Databuffer. First, you need to import JSON, add these 2 rows at the top of your rule: Imports Newtonsoft.JsonImports Newtonsoft.Json.Linq Second, when you want to log, use JSON! Dim stringobj As String = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(lCenterInfo,Formatting.Indented)api.logmessage(lCenterInfo.Member.Name & ", lCenterInfo: " & stringobj) When you use ,Formatting.Indented, your log will be correctly formatted. Thanks to Matt Ha for enlightening me with JSON and RobbSalzmann for sharing how to have the JSON string correctly formatted!

Hi All- we have a situation where we are receiving two separate ledgers, one in Local currency and one in USD. The USD ledger includes adjustment and revaluation effects on several accounts in addition to translation. For non-USD entities we are just utilizing the Flow dimension and a USD Override base member to store the USD value, with a business rule to override the USD translated value with the USD value from the second ledger. For USD entities this isn't working, and we get a formula error if we try to force C#Local to differ from C#USD. Is it possible to set the value of C#USD to a different value than C#Local for a USD entity?

This post is to illustrate how to call a public function of a Finance Rule from within XFBR rule. The Finance Rule has a function called EntityText8 splitter, and I need to call it from within a XFBR rule. To make it work, first need to make the Finance Rule "True" - Contains Global Functions for Formulas (in Rule Properties) and refer to the specific rule assembly in XFBR rule properties (screenshot2). The XFBR rule reads: '-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Returns the Entity in Text8 or emtpy '-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'BRString(SeedingXFBRStrings, Text8Entity, curEntity=|CVEntity|, curScenario=|CVScenario|) 'XFBR(SeedingXFBRStrings, Text8Entity, curEntity=|CVEntity|, curScenario=|CVScenario|)   If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Text8Entity") Then   Dim curEntity

We are capturing parent entity adjustments, and they are not rolling to C#Share. Any idea what the cause may be or how to enable this.

Could someone please direct me on where I can find documentation or training on how OneStreamEmail works?  How it can be implemented, authentication used, etc.?  I can't find anything when searching Design and reference guide.   

Hi, I am trying to build in an if statement in a cubeview (getdatacell formula) on the cell amounts. In specific: If cellamount of CVC(col 10) > CVC(col 11) then CVC(col1) else CVC(col1).  The reason why I am trying to do this in a cubeview getdatacell is because the col 10 an col 11 are referencing other columns and those other columns are referencing other columns in return. A workaround would be to recreate these column references in BR or create new members with formulas doing similar. But I am trying to avoid recreating this if possible. Hope someone have ideas. 

Hello All, I am creating a confirmation rule with the following goal: - Read data attachment text from from a V#Annotation field  Due to my unfamiliarity with the DataAttachmentList object, I have been unsuccessful in utilizing this list within my rule. I wanted to reach out to the community and see if anyone could help correct my mistakes. My code for testing is as follows:    

I have a dashboard parameter of type delimited list and I want to get the value from the parameter in a dynamic UD8 member. How do I get the parameter value? If I use the following code I just get the default value of the parameter (because the parameter isn't a literal type): Dim sValue As String = BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.GetLiteralParameterValue(si, False, "myParameter")brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "sValue " & sValue) so I need to use a method other than BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.GetLiteralParameterValue but have no idea what and don't seem to be able to find any documentation to help find what to use.

Hi - I want capture data cell values from two columns of the cube view and save them as a list and used the list to loop through the calculations. i would appreciate help with a sample code or guidance. Thanks. YM.

I am trying to do a calculation for a few specified members (putting to E and U4) but only for base of certain hierarchies under Account and UD1.  Here is the example of what we want to do: api.Data.Calculate("E#NonRolled:O#BeforeElim:F#EndBal:U4#NonRolled_Calc = RemoveZeros(E#1000X:O#BeforeElim:F#EndBal:U4#Reported - E#2000X:O#BeforeElim:F#EndBal:U4#Reported )","A#Management_Income_Statement.base") However, I understand you can not have Entity as part of the left hand side the equation since it would create an invalid data unit. Does anyone know a way around this, or an alternate way to accomplish this?
