How to access journal name and the user who triggered the Journal Event Handler
Hello OneStream Community,
I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the journal name and the user who triggered an action on a journal through a Journal Event Handler Business Rule.
Dim returnValue As Object = args.DefaultReturnValue
args.UseReturnValueFromBusinessRule = False
args.Cancel = False
Select Case args.OperationName
'1.Submit 2.Approve 3.Reject
Case Is = BREventOperationType.Journals.SubmitJournal
If (args.IsBeforeEvent) Then
si.WorkflowClusterPk.UniqueStringI
Dim wfProfileInfo = BRApi.Workflow.Metadata.GetProfile(si, _
si.WorkflowClusterPk.ProfileKey)
Me.AddToLog(si, $"WFProfileName = {wfProfileInfo.NameAndDescription} - Journal Submitted")
Dim wfGroupType = 6100 'Process wfGroupType
Dim wfGroupUsers = BRAPI.Workflow.General.GetUsersInWorkflowGroup(si, _
si.WorkflowClusterPk, wfGroupType, True, String.Empty)
The GolfStream application has examples of getting journal information. Here is a snippet:
Dim journalID as Guid = CType(args.Inputs(0), Guid) Dim journal as JournalEx = BRApi.Journals.Metadata.GetJournalOrTemplate(si, journalID)From there you can get the journal name like this:
Dim jourName as String = journal.Header.Header.NameIt also has examples of how to get user information if si.UserName is not what you want.
