Passing Dimension Members to Logic Task in SSIS

Question

I have a package that pulls data from a source and loads it into BPC. As a part of the package, if data is loaded into prior periods (I identify this through a query and put the prior periods and accounts into variables), we then need to run a piece of script logic that rolls forward the necessary balances based on the time periods and the accounts included. Right now, the package generates an email and includes an expression noting the prior time periods and accounts, and and then the users go and manually run the logic for the time periods and accounts specified in that notification email. However, we want to automate that step at the end of the package. What is the best way to pass the time period and account variables into script logic to limit the scope to just those accounts and the time periods specified?

Answer 1

Thanks Roberto. That certainly is an option. I can't define the appropriate accounts and time periods through any BPC tables, so I believe that I would need set a Property, something like "RunLogic", in the mbrTime and mbrAccount tables using a query in an Execute SQL task first, and then in the script logic use the Select statements to set a variable like you mentioned, and then use that variable to define the scope in the XDIM_MEMEBERSET statements.
But, is this the best, cleanest way to do this? Given that the Logic task was built for SSIS, it seems to me that there would be a direct way to simply define the scope in the task using an expression and/or variables, or through ModifyScript. Is there a way to simply pass the variables through and leverage a dynamic constant or something else that is already built into BPC?
