Hi,
I am trying to make a business measure based upon a field that is an array. First I need to get the field out of the container into a data metric. I do this in the normal manner you would create a metric. The problem I see right away is that there is no way to select which element of the array you would like the data metric to be based off of. I can deal with that, so I continue the process. I give it a name and click on add, then close. If I save the process and go to export the business measures to monitor the little Java applet that generates the XML will freeze up every time I try to click on the save button. I am able to cancel out of here. If I go back in and delete the data metric, save the process, and re-export it works then.
This leads me to believe that there is some problem with creating metrics off of array data.

Additional Information:
I have gone through the entire process of creating the metric, using the metric in an expression (which passes the check), then creating a business measure. This will not export to monitor either. I have pinpointed the cause of the problem to the data metric.

Has anybody done this before???

Can you explain what you are trying to do and where you are trying to do. Is it in buildtime or modeler.

This is within the WBI workbench.

I am trying to create a business measure to use within WBI Monitor. The clients want reporting on our process.

Here are some more details on the field I am trying to capture.

This is a reply container from a UPES task. This is what the container looks like.

Container_A
Field1 Char
Field2 Structure
Field3 Structure(29)
TargetField Char

I need to create the following:

Data Metric:
DM_Container_A.Field2.Field3(2).TargetField

Expression:
EX_Example
Logic: IF(DM_Container_A.Field2.Field3(2).TargetField = "A", "Yes", "No")

Business Measure:
BM_Example
defined by expression EX_Example
at location (after task where container_A is completed)


The problem is that I definetly don't see any option for specifying the element within the array at the data metric screen. Besides that, even defining the data metric like this causes me to not be able to export the XML from the workbench.

DM_Container_A.Field2.Field3.TargetField

note: the above is how workbench allows the metric to be defined. If I could get that to work, I wonder what will be output; the entire array in string form?

Thanks,
Ben

This is still open, I have been playing around and have not come up with a method to get at this data yet.
