Solution periods and years
Few functions are added to get the number of periods and years used in Solution available to advanced implementations if needed.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| GetSolutionCalcPeriods(solutionName As String) | This function will provide you the number of periods the solution is configured for calculation. |
| GetSolutionCalcYears(solutionName As String) | This function will provide you the number of years the solution is configured for calculation. |
| GetSolutionStartYear() | This function will provide you the start year of the solution. It will use the workflow scenario's BARF setting to get the start year (Text1) |
| GetSolutionEndYear(solutionName As String) | This function will provide you with the end year the solution is configured for calculation. |
New functions for Solution Calc Unit security
Few new functions are added to Framework rule to add advanced implementations to make use of Solution calc unit security.
These functions can be used in designs which need advanced dashboards which are pulling data from Solution tables that needs to honor the user's calculation unit access.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| GetSolutionCalcUnitAccess() | This function will provide a dictionary of solution code as key and a list of calculation units for the current user |
| GetSolutionCalcUnitAccess(solutionName) | This function will provide a list of calculation unit access for the specified solution and current user |
| GetSolutionCalcUnitAccess(userName, solutionName) | This function will provide a list of calculation unit access for the specified solution and user |
| GetSolutionCalcUnitAccessListAsString(solutionName) | This function will provide a comma seperated string of calculation unit access for the specified solution and current user |
| GetSolutionCalcUnitAccessListAsString(userName, solutionName) | This function will provide a comma seperated string of calculation unit access for the specified solution and user. |
