Connector BR fails to execute successfully
Hello Team, I am currently writing a connector business rule that connects an EDM system to retrieve a file, apply mapping logic, and process the resulting DataTable into ACM. I have successfully implemented the same integration code for several other connectors, all of which are functioning as intended. However, when I attempt to apply the same logic for the Account connector, I encounter the following error: "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. (Parameter 'index')" I have rewritten the rule twice but have not been able to resolve the issue. Do you have any insights into why this might be occurring?
Version 9.0 Redacting information in Error Log
Dear Community Members, Has anyone experienced information in the log being redacted. I found this in the latest documenation. However, i see no pattern of what is considered sensitive. I have a data table dump in the decimal positions are redacted. I am logging the keys and values of two dictionaries. in both dictionaries the value is an integer. One value is shown while the other value in redacted. Both values come from a text member of a dimension member. In other cases i am logging the name of the business rule and the name of the function. Sometimes the RULENAME is redacted, sometimes it is not. Which leads me to believe that the logic thinks that the name is sensitive?! Is this sensitivity controllable maybe on the app settings on the server? Cause it seems overly sensitive or plainly wrong in determining what is sensitive and what is no.
Perform a Translate within a Calculate when copying information.
In a calculation, I'm copying data from one scenario to another. I have no issues with the amounts in local currency, but with the USD currency I do, because it retains the same value as the scenario I'm copying to, instead of the value it should actually have. Dim TimeName As String = BRApi.Finance.Time.GetNameFromId(si, si.WorkflowClusterPk.TimeKey) Dim entity As String = api.Pov.Entity.Name Dim index As Integer = TimeName.indexOf("M") Dim monthNumber As String = TimeName.Substring(index + 1) '1 'api.Data.ClearCalculatedData("S#FORECAST_" & monthNumber & "_AT_CY_BUDGET_RATE",True,False,False,True) api.Data.ClearCalculatedData("S#FORECAST_" & monthNumber & "_AT_CY_BUDGET_RATE",True,True,True,True) 'BRapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si,"Time: " & api.Pov.Time.Name & " entity: " & entity & " currency:" & api.Pov.Cons.Name) 'If ((Not api.Entity.HasChildren()) And (api.Cons.IsLocalCurrencyForEntity())) Then If api.Cons.IsLocalCurrencyForEntity() Then 'api.Data.Calculate("S#FORECAST_" & monthNumber & "_AT_CY_BUDGET_RATE = RemoveZeros(FilterMembers(S#[Forecast " & TimeName & "],[A#Root.Base]))") api.Data.Calculate("S#FORECAST_" & monthNumber & "_AT_CY_BUDGET_RATE = RemoveZeros(S#[Forecast " & TimeName & "])") api.Data.Translate(sourceDataBufferScript, destDataBufferScript, End If I use this code when consolidating the target scenario, so I'm not sure if I'm missing something in this section, since in theory the translation should happen automatically during consolidation. I appreciate any support you can give me.
Getting Column Text Value from Derivative Rule
Hi I have a derivate rule that I created that returns the absolute value of an amount based on column name. The column names are assigned in the data source and based on the data source column it will either assign an absolute value or a negative value. I want to be able to pull a column in my derivate rule that is a text attribute column and if the text equals something like "S5" it will do some type of conditional logic. With my limited experience with derivative rules and research it seems this cannot be done via a derivative rule. First question: Is there a way for me to do this? Second: If not, is there another alternative way that I can extract the text field of a column and based on that to do some type of additional logic?
Parser rule to compare attribute data between current month load and last year Dec load
HI Experts, I have a parser rule that looks at current attribute 9 and compares it with attribute 9 of last year December load and returns it as attribute 10 which helps me map the differences in Tiering. My issue is - the file is huge around 15k lines and its taking ages for this comparison. How can i make it run a bit faster ? Any help would be appreciated. PARSER RULE BELOW FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Public Class MainClass Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As ParserDimension, ByVal args As ParserArgs) As Object Try Dim Time As String = BRApi.Finance.Time.GetNameFromId(si,si.WorkflowClusterPk.TimeKey) Dim WfYear As String = Time.Substring(0,4) Dim WfYearPrior As Integer = WfYear - 1 ' 'Get the fields for comparison Dim AttrColPosition As Integer = 97 Dim CurrString As String = api.Parser.DelimitedParsedValues(AttrColPosition) 'Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si,"My Currr A8 is " &CurrString) Dim EntColPosition As Integer = 2 Dim EntString As String = api.Parser.DelimitedParsedValues(EntColPosition) 'Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si,"My Currr Entity is " &EntString) Dim ISINColPosition As Integer = 23 Dim ISINString As String = api.Parser.DelimitedParsedValues(ISINColPosition) 'Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si,"My Currr Entity is " &EntString) 'SQL ---------------------- Dim sql As New Text.StringBuilder Dim dt As DataTable sql.AppendLine("Select TOP 1 A9 ") sql.AppendLine("From vStageSourceAndTargetDataWithAttributes ") sql.AppendLine("Where Si = 'AnalystPackLoad' and TmT = '"& WfYearPrior &"M12' and A18 = '"& ISINString &"' and Et = '"& EntString &"' ") Using dbConnApp As DbConnInfo = BRApi.Database.CreateApplicationDbConnInfo(si) dt = BrApi.Database.ExecuteSql(dbConnApp,sql.ToString,True) End Using If dt IsNot Nothing AndAlso dt.Rows.Count > 0 Then Dim Att10 As String = dt.Rows(0)("A9").ToString() Return Att10 End If Return Nothing Catch ex As Exception Throw ErrorHandler.LogWrite(si, New XFException(si, ex)) End Try End Function End Class End Namespace
GetBaseMembers: How can I perform a getmembers on an entity as if it were in a cube view?
Hi Everyone. I wanted to see if there is a way to obtain the entities that are under another one but with a filter, like the following: E#|!PerformPnL_Entity!|.TreeDescendantsInclusive.Where(Text1 StartsWith M_ and (HasChildren = True)) I want to do this in a BR, but I am not sure exactly how to do it or if it is possible, since GetBaseMembers brings all of them and I would like to filter it first so that there are not too many entities to verify. I would appreciate it if you could help me with this question.
Help Needed with Confirmation Rule to Validate Annotations for Thresholds
Hello OS Community. I'm working on a confirmation rule that is supposed to check for the presence of annotations when thresholds are defined. The intended behavior is: If thresholds are present, but no annotation/comment is provided, the rule should fail validation. However, the logic isn't working as expected. Even when no comment is given, the rule still passes and acts as if a comment is provided. Here’s what I need help with Ensuring that the rule correctly identifies missing comments and fails as intended. Identifying what might be wrong in my current logic it seems to incorrectly detect comments even when none exist. Any insights or examples of similar logic would be much appreciated!
Map source account to target account member and Ud4 member
Hi Everyone, I have a source file which contains multiple accounts in the columns for one month. These accounts are not there in the cube. I do not have a ud4 dimension in the source file. Each source account should be mapped to an account and Ud4 member. for ex: Account a001 has to be mapped to account A#a1 and Ud4#cost. Similarly Account b001 has to be mapped to account b#b1 and Ud4#sale. A#[a001]=A#[a1]:UD4#[cost] A#[b001]=A#[b1]:UD4#[sale] How can this be achieved in the transformation rule. Also, the data source needs to have ud4 or not. Thanks, Jeevan
