SQL Manipulation with a VB Net Variable
Hello, Does anyone know an effective way to alter the amount column of a table using a SQL script? Use case: the client is bringing in what they call "Production Downtime" to the system, which shows hours of downtime by plant based on a reason (attribute). Using a Dashboard Data Set rule, I created a SQL query to return specific results from the stage table based on Entity and Plant selections. This rule is linked to a data adapter and fed into the BI Viewer. In their BI Viewer report, it shows current Month vs PY Month. Since this data is coming in daily, when the user is looking at the current month, (today is Nov 21) the current month shows 21 days' worth of downtime data. They would like the PY Month to also represent 21 days of data. So, I would like to create a "ratio" variable that reads the current day of month and divides by the total days in month, and multiply the PY data by it. I created something similar in a UD8 calc: (SQL Is not my strong suit) how can I apply this "ratio" to the amount column of a SQL query? Amount * Ratio
TXM One Side Match Set Rule
We are trying to build a one side match rule for AR TXM. Within our DS1, we have transactions that combine and net to zero. We are finding that the one side rule is matching transactions by the amount instead of first summing the group of transactions to zero, which is resulting in incorrect matches. Is there a way to match negative amounts to positive amounts of the same balance (i.e. absolute value, but then we still need the net to be an accurate zero). Is there a way to leave the "amount" field off of the definition page. Also, whenever we try to enter in a tolerance, we get an error message to select the tolerance type, but there is no option to do so on a one-side rule. We are having the same issue with the many to many rules where the rule is not summing up the transactions into one before executing match

Fetch Metadata values from Text file in Transformation Event Handler
Hi Experts, I am working on TransformationEventHandler rule in which we need to read the first 4 columns of a text file that is being uploaded to Workflow Import so I can do some sanity checks and error out if they are not correct. Does anyone have sample code that reads the values of file? I checked everywhere but not much documentation on this. Also, I placed this code in "ParseSourceData" BREventOperationType. Not sure if this is correct or need to put under "ParseTransformationRules"? Thanks in advance, PMHow to pass parameters through ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule
Hi Everyone. I am trying to run a CustomCalculateBR in another BR, and I have the following for the variable namevaluepairs, but I would also like to pass parameters in this BR. I have been investigating but did not find a solution. Similarly, I would like to ask if passing with .base will work the same way as if it were in a step or not. I would appreciate it if you could help me.
