Error saving a data buffer in Custom Calculate

Hi Community, I try to save a simple data buffer within a Custom Calculate and receive a cryptic error message. Dim sourceDataBuffer1 As New DataBuffer sourceDataBuffer1 = api.Data.GetDataBuffer...

    Hi Henning,

    thanks. I'll keep that in mind and will provide an update, if I do further testing in the GolfStream application (as soon as there is some time). At the moment I'm just happy that it works on the client's application with setting the View member.

    Best,

Hi Henning,

thanks a lot for your reply.

Even if I restrict the data buffer to the POV of one cell (as you did in your script), the system behaves a little bit odd. With one specific POV, the calculation will sometimes run successfully, sometimes it will abort with the error message shown above. My DM step looks the same. However, if I add "YTD" as View in the DM step, the calculation doesn't seem to abort (I ran it a few times and for now it seems to work). Neither in that simple example nor in my initial rule which is a bit more complex and thus has a bigger result data buffer.

Do you have any idea if the View needs to be fixed in the DM step? What impact will it have to set the View to "QTD" instead of "YTD"? Of course I will do a few more examples to figure out myself. But if there is any documentation of the behaviour, it will also be very helpful.

Thanks & best regards,

Marcus

Hi Marcus,

Sorry, I do not recall having heard of such an issue. See if you can re-create this in BluePrint or Golfstream and then you can open a ticket to get to the bottom of it. But is this is not reproducable (in my very simple test, I had no issues), my guess is that this is due to a setting somewhere else. Maybe your scenario settings vary in your test, or are generally different from the ones in my test.  But that is just a guess, it would need more digging to get to the bottom of this (testing different settings, write all POV members into the error log,...). But first testing this in a Blueprint / Golfstream copy would help to verify whether that one can be reproduced or not.
