    Terry tledet​,
    Thank you for sharing your expertise and 3-step formula to migrate the Finance BR to Ws Assemblies.
    Step 1: Service Factory
    Step 2: Service Type: Finance
    Step 3: Standard Class: Finance business logic (method/function)

    Please help me with the below follow-ups as my skill level in OS is low.
    A) Can the Finance BR be migrated in two steps below:
    Step 1: Service Factory
    Step 2: Service Type with defining the functions to be executed: getMemberList(...), etc.

    B.1) If the 2-step formula won't work for the Finance BR:
    - Please share the reasons.

    B.2) If the 2-step formula will work for the Finance BR, please share the benefits of the 3-step formula:
    Step 1: Service Factory
    Step 2: Service Type without defining the functions to be executed: getMemberList(...), etc.
    Step 3: Standard Class with defining the functions to be executed: getMemberList(...), etc.

    C) Please share your leading practice to migrate non-Finance BR to Ws Assemblies.
    - Below I summarized three formulas by Source Code Type:
    1. 1-step formula: Business Rule
    2. 2-step formula: Service Factory/Service Type with the business logic (method/function)
    3. 3-step formula: Service Factory/Service Type/Standard Class

    Thank you, Terry tledet​.

      "Can the Finance BR be migrated in two steps below:" Yes, which would require including the function/method in the assembly file with the service type.  While this can be done, the practice is to have the service factory and service type assembly file, clean and concise "excludes business logic", whereas the class would have the business logic, i.e., method/function.  Developing and maintaining the business logic (method/function) in this manner promotes clean architecture, separation of concern, and provides code that is easier to read and maintain.

      Non-Finance BR to Assemblies can be migrated with the same process, i.e., Step 1: Service Factory, 
      Step 2: Service Type: Finance, and Step 3: Standard Class for the same reasons as migrating Finance BRs to Assemblies.

      Terry,
      Please help me with one more follow-up below.
      D) Ws Assembly for       Get       Data Cell - DC/Data       Cell/Dynamic Calcs
      - Please share the benefits of using DC in WsMU v Ws in your demo.
      Thank you, Terry tledet​.

        "Please share the benefits of using WsMU v Ws." A WSMU will typically contain code needed specifically for artifacts (Dashboards, buttons, etc.) required for the WSMU; whereas, the code for the WS will be relevant for the entire Workspace.  Developers may also create a WSMU that specifically has code that is relevant for the Workspace and define the Workspace Assembly Service at the WSMU instead of the WS.  WSMU vs WS is similar to a naming convention where some individuals before "param" where others prefer "prm" for a parameter prefix which is to state be consistent and document in the approach whether WS or WSMU is used.
