    I would have thought that you could use DashBoard Parameters to pass that info to the DM Task at the Step or Sequence level, and then get them from the args.NameValuePairs dictionary once in the Service BR.

    For bonus points you can use BRAPi.TaskActivity.UpdateRunningTaskActivityAndCheckIfCanceled to popup a message to them saying what the DM Task is about to do - just delay it so they get a chance to read the message with something like System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)

I call the DM Service from the DM Step in the Assembly using the BR Workspace.Current.CSL_Test.My_DataMgmtHelpers (assuming it's enabled in the Service Factory for the Assembly), then the main code in the DM service class is:

Select Case args.FunctionType

Case Is = ExtenderFunctionType.Unknown

Case Is = ExtenderFunctionType.ExecuteDataMgmtBusinessRuleStep
Dim strDMSequenceName As String = args.DataMgmtArgs.Sequence.Name.ToUpper
Select Case strDMSequenceName
Case "MyDMSeq"
'<My Code>

End Select

End Select

I'm using the DM Sequence name here in the SELECT Case to decide what to do
