    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 
    Next

     

    The 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.
