Execute Custom Calculate BusinessRule - Server Timout

Dear community,

We are using a Dashboard Extender Rule to trigger a ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule.
The business rule that we are running is a finance business rule that contains databuffer formula's.

Since we can only run a finance business rule for one entity, we have created a MemberList that is running the Finance Rule each time for one of the 1500 legal entities that we have.

This caused a Server Timer Out error.

Do you know if  the ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule runs for each entity separately or for multiple entities in Parallel that is  causing this TimeOut?

    That could be your issue; Brapi uses the database, so not sure why that approach is taken. You can still pass parameters to a DM sequence even if it is started from a dashboard extender. 

    You create a dictionary of your parameters in your DM sequence as keys and the values that you want to use for them, and call executeDMSequence with that dictionary.

    We are running it via an extender rule, not via a DM sequence, because we are using a lot of parameters that are used in the data buffers. 

    In the ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule we specify a dictionary for the data unit.

    Isn't that running a DM sequence?

    DM sequence does it as a dataunit. Check if the data units are sparse or not.
