Reference workflow variables from business rule

Hi, this might sounds like a stupid question to the more experienced people in the community, but how do I refer to the workflow variables from within an extensibility business rule?

These 2 lines of code are of course not working:

Dim sScenario As String = |WFScenario|
Dim sTime As String = |WFTime|

 

Any hint? Thank you

    Thank you very much!

     

    Small correction to what you have written on the Time dimension, this is the working syntax:

    Dim sScenario As String = ScenarioDimHelper.GetNameFromID(si, si.WorkflowClusterPk.ScenarioKey)

    Dim sTime As String = BRApi.Finance.Time.GetNameFromId(si, si.WorkflowClusterPk.TimeKey)

    No problem.

    If you haven't already done so, install the Snippets Editor from the MarketPlace.  It comes with various examples that might come in useful.

    You are using substitution variables which will not work in Business Rules.

    Try the following for the current Workflow Time and Scenario:

     

    Dim sTime As String = BRApi.Finance.Time.GetNameFromId(si, api.WorkflowUnitPk.TimeKey)

    Dim sScenario As String = ScenarioDimHelper.GetNameFromID(si, si.WorkflowClusterPk.ScenarioKey)
