Questions about Business Rules Methods Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Looking at the existing business rules methods, the Primary Step appears to be alreay defined, but is not editable. What is the purpose of the definition if it can't be edited? I want to specify that Account.CanChangeOwner returns false, but don't know how to get at whatever code is behind the definition.

Another question: I also want to create an Account.CanChangeAccountManager business rule. My question is how do I associate the rule with a change in the AccountManagerId field? Thanks.

Don't modify Primary steps.. If you do you will "break" the upgrade compatability.

You can add "Pre" and Post" and be safe.

RJ,

In the "Pre" part, any ideas how you cancel the event if it doesn't meet certain criteria?
i.e. the account event onDelete
I'm playing arround with session.Transation.Rollback(); but no joy

Thanks
DC

I don't think you can do this in the pre step, as there is no Boolean to return to the caller, but not sure. I've tried playing around with adding another primary step, and adding a post step. My results have been inconsistent, so I need to test further.

My question still stands on associating a Business Rule method with an entity column. How do you do it? With AA out of the box, you appear to get a few CanChange... methods, but certainly not covering all the columns in the table. I'm sure these are just examples, but the $64 question remains as to how you expand this set.
