Button Highlighting Business Rule - "Load Dashboard Server Task (Once)" running twice?

Hello,

I have a problem with a couple business rules running at the wrong times from within a dashboard. 

The background: I have a business rule that changes the formatting of the buttons on a dashboard to show which one was clicked last. The buttons function as "tabs," each linking to a report; the button linking to the currently selected report shows itself as highlighted.

To do this, I have the name of the current active button stored in a literal parameter.

When a button is clicked to launch a report, a business rule rewrites the value of this literal parameter. (An XFBR String rule then reads this parameter to determine how to format the buttons, and is output to button - formatting - display format).

The problem: When I launch the dashboard from OnePlace, the highlighting works correctly, showing a set of buttons with the first button highlighted.

When I click another button, the button works correctly by launching a report, but the first button remains highlighted. The literal parameter does not update with the name of the newly clicked button as it should. BUT if I click any other button a second time, the highlighting starts working correctly, and the literal parameter is rewritten by the BR.

So what's happening? When I launch the DB from OnePlace,  a Load Dashboard Server Task runs (DashboardExtenderFunctionType.LoadDashboard).

When I click a button within the dashboard,  a Selection Changed Server Task runs (DashboardExtenderFunctionType.ComponentSelectionChanged).

It looks like the first time a button is pushed, either the Load DB server task is running a second time or the Selection Changed server task is not running. I don't know why a second push of the button changes its behavior.

I don't know how to track the problem any further and would love your thoughts if you've read this far; any ideas?

 

Rewrite literal parameter BR:

 

 

 

 

Namespace OneStream.BusinessRule.DashboardExtender.Button_Format
	Public Class MainClass
		Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As DashboardExtenderArgs) As Object
			Try
				Dim bda = New OneStream.BusinessRule.Finance.BDA_BRFramework.MainClass(si, globals)
				Select Case args.FunctionType
										
					Case Is = DashboardExtenderFunctionType.LoadDashboard
						If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("ActiveButton_Launch") Then
							
							'Implement Load Dashboard logic here.
							Dim strButtonName As String = args.NameValuePairs("ButtonName")
							
							BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.SetLiteralParameterValue(si, False, "param_active_Btn", strButtonName)
													
							Dim loadDashResult As New XFLoadDashboardTaskResult()
							Return loadDashResult
							
						End If
						
					Case Is = DashboardExtenderFunctionType.ComponentSelectionChanged
						If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("ActiveButton") Then
							
							'Implement Dashboard Component Selection Changed logic here.
							Dim strButtonName As String = args.NameValuePairs("ButtonName")
							
							BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.SetLiteralParameterValue(si, False, "param_active_Btn", strButtonName)
													
							Dim selectionChangedTaskResult As New XFSelectionChangedTaskResult()
							Return selectionChangedTaskResult
						
						End If
						
				End Select
