Returning Value of a parameter in a XFBR

Hi OneStreamers,

 

I am trying to build an XFBR which I will link to a CV Column, that will either "True" or "False" Depending on the value of a parameter.

 

However I am finding trouble returning the value. I came up with this but it seems tor eturn the Default Value of the parameter and not the Selected Value : 

"If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("CheckScnForVisibleColumn") Then

Dim ScnParamName As String = "3_cm_param_S_SelectFC"
Dim ScnParamValue As String = ""

ScnParamValue = BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.GetLiteralParameterValue(si, False, ScnParamName)

brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si,ScnParamValue)"

Appreciate your help 🙂 

 

Regards,

Adam

 

 

  • Hi kakouchtim: try passing in the parameter to the BR rather than using the BRApi functions.

    For example:

    If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("CheckScnForVisibleColumn") Then

    Dim ScnParamName As String = args.NameValuePairs.XFGetValue("MyParam")

    ....business logic that checks ScnParamName against a predicate and returns True / False

    Usage would be:

    XFBR(Your_BR_Name, CheckScnForVisibleColumn, MyParam=[|!3_cm_param_S_SelectFC!|])

    This assumes usage in an XFBR String Business Rule, but that sounds like what you are after.  Hope this helps!

    Hi,

    Thank you so much db_pdx  ! It worked !

    Spot on I was indeed using it in an XFBR String Business Rule. 

    Have a nice day.
