BPC-Add in "Action" between 'Send data" and "Update Tables"

Question

Hi all,
After the click of "Send data" ,I want to take some CHECK before the data is updated in Database tables.
Note that this kind of CHECKs are much beyond the function of VALIDATIONs( standard function delivered by BPC).
So could I write some scripts( in v 5.1) to do such tasks. And how to get the eaxct Dimension/Memeber/Values in this input schedule, since I will base on these data to take checking ?
Thanks very much.

Answer 1

Yes this is done all the time.
Create a button on the template and add a macro behind it.
Use one of the BPC macros that suite your needs to send data.
You can find more information in the online help or the BPC office user guide.
MNU_eSUBMIT_REFRESHINPUTCELL Refreshes EvSND - cells in an input schedule.
MNU_eSUBMIT_REFSCHEDULE_SHEET_NOACTION - Sends data without clearing or refreshing.
MNU_eSUBMIT_REFSCHEDULE_SHEET_CLEAR - Sends data and clears input cells.
MNU_eSUBMIT_REFSCHEDULE_SHEET_REFRESH - Sends data and refreshes the worksheet.
MNU_eSUBMIT_REFSCHEDULE_SHEET_CLEARANDREFRESH - Sends data and clears and refreshes the worksheet.
MNU_eSUBMIT_REFSCHEDULE_BOOK_NOACTION - Sends data without clearing or refreshing the worksheet.
This is just a few.

data.
Function BEFORE_SEND(Argument As String)
MsgBox Argument
BEFORE_SEND = True
End Function
AFTER_SEND
