This is the current solution, but it would be nice to run the Custom Calculation directly. The Data Management Tasks are filling up the Task window when running over many data units.
I'm still not sure how you can call it still.
Look for "BRApi.Finance.Calculate.ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule" in the Business Rule Editor.
Maybe this function is/was deprecated, but it would be very useful in cases where you need to run a calculation against custom time periods.
Thanks though!
I do see that. However, to use that, you still need a DM job for the user to execute it. Or they should have access to run an extender rule (which will lead to opening the business rules page to the user!!!). I cannot think of a way to do it unless you go the route of dashboard buttons and extender rules. When you say a DM job is triggered for data units, how is that being called?
Right now, the app is just running "Brapi.Utilities.ExecuteDataMgmtSequence", but the DM Task is just a custom calculate that passes the data unit and time periods to the custom calc.
I'm inferring from your replies that "ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule" still executes as a DM Task. (I hadn't actually run it, since I couldn't supply the proper time periods anyways.)
That inference does invalidate the purpose of my question, but it does not actually answer my question. I am still curious about how to use it. 🙂
