How to Recall Another Business Rule into a Different Business Rule

Hello,

Trying to build a business rule to send an email once a button is pressed. The business rule that I'm trying to use is encrypted and I cannot get into it so I was trying to figure out a way to recall that business rule to check if a Lease change status to submitted.

I read something about Referenced Assemblies, but I'm not fully sure if that's right or what I even code it as in my current business rule. 

This is the BR I'm trying to call into my current rule

Thanks,

Will

    Hi,

    To call the business rule, the first step is to click on your rule's Properties tab and add the AELS_SolutionHelper rule to the Referenced Assemblies property. You would add BR\AELS_SolutionHelper.

    To call the ApprovalSolutionOverwriteFunction in the AELS_SolutionHelper rule, the function must be declared as Public and not Private.

    To make use of the public functions in the AELS_SolutionHelper rule, you need to create an instance of that rule in your rule. Assuming it is a Dashboard Extender rule, you would do:
    Dim targetRule as new OneStream.BusinessRule.DashboardExtender.AELS_SolutionHelper.MainClass()

    Assuming you are calling your rule as a Dashboard Server Task like this:
    {yourcustomrule}{yourcustomfunction}{LeaseList=[!|prm_SelectedApprovalLeases_AELS|!]}, the LeaseList parameter is passed as a Name-Value pair, so you must also create and populate that object when calling the AELS_SolutionHelper rule from your rule.

    Dim nvpSource As String = args.NameValuePairs.XFGetValue("LeaseList", String.Empty)

    Dim nvp As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
    nvp.Add("LeaseList", nvpSource)

    Dim targetDashboardArgs as New DashboardExtenderArgs()

    targetDashboardArgs.NameValuePairs = nvp

    Finally, call the function in the AELS_SolutionHelper rule. Assuming the return type is a string and that ApprovalSolutionOverWriteParameters expects the 4 parameters below:

    Dim result As String = targetRule.ApprovalSolutionOverwriteParameters(si,globals,api,targetDashboardArgs)

    I hope this provides some guidance on how to approach the solution.

    Kind regards,

    Chris
