Pass through external parameters into dynamic cube view services
Hello,
Is there a way to pass a combo box paramater into a cube view service? I think would be through the Service Factory.
Since the cube view service runs when the cube view is executed and there is no call as XFBRs or Dashboard extenders, Is there a way to pass parameter values into the cube view service business rule?
I was able to get this to work using args.CustomSubstVars.
Dim entity As String = Nothing Dim CustomSubstVars As Dictionary(Of String,String) = args.CustomSubstVars For Each var In CustomSubstVars If var.Key = "par_TestBook" Then entity = var.Value End If NextThe service is being called 3 times whenever I run the CubeView, and CustomSubstVars is empty the first 2 calls. On the 3rd call I am able to get a value for entity, which gives me the context to create the rows.
