Running a dashboard component within extensibility

Happy Wednesday, 

I'm trying to automate our account recs module. I have been successful in automating the data load.  But I'm trying to figure how to call that "process" within my extensibility rule. 

I tried to trace back the rule that executes the process recons. What I found was a DB Extender rule (RCM_SolutionHelper), that is been referenced within a button component. Wondering if there is a way to call that function.

 

Would appreciate any ideas.

 

Best,

Mustafa A

    It depends on the function. If it is public then you can call it by referring to the rule. The next step is to find out the parameters.  It is a trial and error to see what all parameters are used in it. For sure DashboardExtenderArgs will be one, sessioninfo another, BRGlobals, so on and so forth.

      Thanks! It took a bit of searching, but found the function that was executing the step.

        Currently trying to do the same thing but with the PullBalCheck button. We want to automate this as part of a data management job. Do you remember how you called the button to automate it?

    You cannot call the button. You need to call the public function from another rule. If the function is not declared public, you must do that first. Then, you can create the extender rule, add the references and then call it. I might have written a blog on this.
