Interface PublicGroovyAPI

  • public interface PublicGroovyAPI
    This interface represents what can be reached in the Groovy element syntax as api. That api variable or binding is merely an instance of this interface to expose certain "safe" methods and functionality.

    Caching usage
    The API exposes three ways to store transient and temporary data during formula executions. Each variant has its own specifics and therefore is not suitable for all use cases. The options are:
    • api.local
    • api.global
    • Shared Cache

    The first two can be understood as mere in-memory hash maps. For example, api.local.put("key","value") will work fine.
    The difference between them is the potential scope and retention of the contained data.

    api.local:
    This is a hash map that is available during the lifetime of exactly one logic execution. It can (and should) be used to store intermediate results that need to be accessed by other subsequent logic elements.

    api.global:
    By default, api.global is very similar to api.local. Without any further settings, the only difference is that api.global is also available in Groovy library functions (while api.local is not).
    However, by setting api.retainGlobal = true you can instruct the formula engine to keep the hash map in between logic runs. It works between line items and, in case of Quotes, Contracts and Rebate Agreements, between the header and the line items (but only in the pre-phase, not in the post-phase). The values are also carried forward between two list calculation passes (i.e. form initial run to dirty item run; ONLY in non-distributed mode.).
    Important notes:
    retainGlobal can be set to true either in the logic or globally in Configuration > All Modules > General Settings > api.retainGlobal defaults to TRUE. retainGlobal is effective only once. In order to keep it for the 3rd item as well (and so on) you need to call it in every formula execution.
    api.global data also stick to their execution thread. That means that they are NOT shared between the different parallel executions of a distributed calculation. It effectively builds up multiple caches. Another side effect of this is that api.global is not retained and passed to a subsequent calculation pass if the original calculation was in a distributed mode.

    Shared Cache:
    The main limitation of api.global is the restriction of its availability to the current execution thread. In a distributed calculation however, there are multiple threads and even multiple servers involved in the calculation. If all these should share a single cache, you must use the shared cache. The shared cache is even available to different calculations (such as other lists or list & CFS or dashboard logic etc). Be careful with key naming so that you do not mix and match data.
    These advantages come at a cost: Due to the distributed "superglobal" nature, the read/write operations of that cache are slower compared to a real local in-memory map. Use the shared cache only for data that is expensive to calculate or for avoiding frequent database calls. Data in the shared cache expires automatically, the TTL is extended everytime a key is written or read. Values stored are of the String type only. Serialization and deserialization of other objects like dates and numbers are to be done in logic itself.

    Object modifications
    The API contains methods to manipulate data (add, addOrUpdate, delete, etc). These methods can only be used in certain formula contexts (otherwise they are ignored). These contexts are:
    • From within a CFS execution (non-distributed only)
    • From within a calculation flow
    • From within a direct logic execution via JSON API

    On top of this, some restrictions apply which data objects can be manipulated - i.e. not every possible object can be modified. Currently available whitelisted typecodes are:
    • All customer extension types
    • All product extension types
    • All matrix price parameter values and normal price parameter values (LTV) as well as price parameter header (LT)
    • PGI and XPGI
    • PLI and XPLI
    • MPLI
    • P
    • C
    • PCOMP
    • PDESC
    • PGI
    • TODO
    • Data export, import and archive

    • Method Detail

      • isSyntaxCheck

        boolean isSyntaxCheck()
        Returns true if the logic/formula is being executed in the syntax check mode. The syntax check mode is a special type of execution run used to determine the logic input parameters in the configuration dialogs, where the logics are selected (e.g. in configuration of LPGs, PLs or dashboards). These input parameters are also used on document line items (like Quote, Contract, etc) The syntax check mode runs against no calculable item (in context of no object), so all the functions that depend on item data (e.g. product() or currentItem() as well as getElement(String)) produce null or mocked values.

        Note: The best practise is to gather all parameters in the first elements of the logic and then abort the calculation after all parameters are gathered, otherwise all code which depends on the item data will need a special treatment (it would have to be surrounded using this function).

        Example:

        Element Amount: 

         return api.decimalUserEntry("Amount")
        Element Comment: 
         return api.stringUserEntry("Comment")
        Element SyntaxCheckAbort: 
         if (api.isSyntaxCheck()) {
   api.abortCalculation()
 }
        Returns:
        true if the logic is executed in the syntax check mode

      • isDebugMode

        boolean isDebugMode()
        Returns true if the logic is being executed via the UI "Test Logic" execution mode. Because during "testing" the logic does not have all information available, you can use this functions to detect this mode, and mock some necessary data, if they're not available.

        For example, when you test the Quote line item logic, then you usually need the Customer Id, which is often selected only on the header of the Quote. But since you test the Quote Line logic standalone, the information from header is not available. Using the isDebugMode you can detect this special execution mode and supply/mock a particular customerId for testing purposes

        Code sample (Quote Line item logic): 

         if(api.isDebugMode()) {
     input.Customer = "CD-00004"      // in regular execution, the input.Customer would be inherited from header input
     input.DeliveryType = "Standard"  // in regular execution, the input.DeliveryType would be inherited from header input
 }

 def country = api.customer("Country", input.Customer)
        Returns:
        true if the logic is being executed in the "Test Logic" mode

      • isDistributedMode

        boolean isDistributedMode()
        Returns true if the calculation is executed in the distributed mode. Useful to suppress warnings (or not execute methods) for operations that do not work in the distributed mode. These operations are basically all write operations that affect other items. Examples: all object modification ops (add, addOrUpdate, update, delete), marking other items dirty
        Returns:
        true if executed in the distributed mode

      • getGlobal

        Map<String,​Object> getGlobal()
        A publicly available cache (as a hashmap) for storing and sharing values across logic elements. If api.retainGlobal is set to true, this map will also be available with the entire list calculation, i.e across item boundaries. It can be also accessed directly as api.global. Important: This map must be treated as a cache. It means that the logic should never rely on the cached values, as in various situations this cache is purged or structured differently. For example, in a distributed calculation, every calculation thread has its own cache; or in a multi-pass list calculation, the subsequent passes may not have the cache of the previous pass available. The system always tries to make it available, but the logic should never rely on it.
        Returns:
        the hashmap

      • putGlobal

        void putGlobal​(Map<String,​Object> globalVars)
        Puts an entire map of variables into the global cache.
        Parameters:
        globalVars - The map of variables to put into the global cache

      • getCalculationContext

        String getCalculationContext()
        Retrieves the CalculationContext of the logic evaluation (logic element group).
        1. For a PA Calculation or Flush logic this can be (from PriceFxInterface):
          • FORMULAELEMENTGROUP_DM_INIT = "init" - executed before rows
          • FORMULAELEMENTGROUP_DM_ROW = "row" - executed for every line of the Target/Source
          • FORMULAELEMENTGROUP_DM_SUMMARY = "summary" - executed after rows
        2. In RebateAgreement calculation there is:
          • FORMULAELEMENTGROUP_RM_AGREEMENT = "agreement"
          • FORMULAELEMENTGROUP_RM_AGREEMENT_READONLY = "agreementReadOnly"
          • FORMULAELEMENTGROUP_RM_REBATERECORD = "rebateRecord"
        3. In the Optimizer module, when evaluating Model formulas, there is:
          • FORMULAELEMENTGROUP_MODEL_DEFINITION = "definition"
          • FORMULAELEMENTGROUP_MODEL_CALCULATION = "calculation"
          • FORMULAELEMENTGROUP_MODEL_ANALYSIS = "analysis"
          • FORMULAELEMENTGROUP_MODEL_FINALIZATION = "finalization"
          • FORMULAELEMENTGROUP_MODEL_RECORD = "record"
        Returns:
        CalculationContext as String

      • getBatchInfo

        List<String[]> getBatchInfo()
        Gets the info about the current batch of items being calculated by a calcuation thread. The calculation batch size is defined by a server variable calculationTasks.commitBatchSize and by default it is 200 records. For the best use, use the functions from the Shared Library.
        Returns:
        List of arrays [sku, key2] for PLI, XPLI, PGI, XPGI contexts or [itemId, typedId] for CFS logics run on P, PX
        See Also:
        SharedLib/elements/BatchUtils.groovy

      • getId

        Long getId​(Object obj)
        Returns the ID part of an object. The method tries to be smart and extracts also IDs from maps or typedId strings.
        Parameters:
        obj - The given object (Map)
        Returns:
        The ID of the object

      • getElement

        Object getElement​(String name)
        Gets the result value returned by the previous logic element.

        Note: Instead of this function, you can also use out.<ElementName> (or output.<ElementName>).

        Warning: During Syntax Check mode, this function returns mock results, not the real ones.

        Parameters:
        name - The name of the logic element which value you want to retrieve
        Returns:
        The value or null if the element is not found. During the syntax check mode the result value is mocked.

      • getSecondaryKey

        Object getSecondaryKey()
        Same as api.currentItem("key2"). Retrieves the secondary key (field "key2") of a matrix item record. Applicable in the following contexts:
        • matrix price grid (XPGI.key2)
        • matrix price list (XPLI.key2)
        • matrix simulation (XSIMI.key2)
        Returns:
        The value of the secondary key or null if calculating a single item record (= not a matrix item record from the list above)

      • getBinding

        Object getBinding​(String name)
        Gets a named binding variable from a library function. Example:

        In a workflow formula, the workflow can be referenced in a Groovy element directly by the binding/variable "workflow": workflow.addApprovalStep("First Approval")

        However, this does not work from a library function as this script does not have the binding available. You need to use: 

         api.getBinding("workflow").addApprovalStep("First Approval")
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the variable
        Returns:
        The binding

      • targetDate

        Date targetDate()
        Returns effective/target date of the document being calculated. (It retrieves this mandatory parameter targetDate from the current execution context.)

        The target date is usually new Date() by default or overriden by user at:

        • Quotes: in the Quote view - entered via Effective Date input parameter
        • Price lists: in the Price list creation dialog - entered at step/tab Get parameters
        • Price grids: in the Price grids overview window - in Target date column
        • PA calculation dataloads: in Dataload definition, under Calculation tab
        • Calculation flow: in Calculation flow detail, under Target date column

        Example: 

         api.targetDate().format("yyyy-MM-dd")
        Returns:
        The targetDate date

      • calendar

        Calendar calendar()
        Gets a java.util.Calendar object initialized with the current targetDate (or new Date() if no target date is given). Used for adding days/months/year and/or setting hours, minutes, seconds.

        Example: 

         def months = 6

 def calendar = api.calendar()

 // adds months to the date
 calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, months)
 calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, startHour)
 calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0)
 calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0)

 // return the date 6 months later after targetDate at 00:00:00
 calendar.getTime()
        Returns:
        The initialized Calendar object

      • calendar

        Calendar calendar​(Date date)
        Gets a calendar object initialized with date.

        Example: 

         def months = 6

 // adds months to the date
 calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, months)
 calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, startHour)
 calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0)
 calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0)

 // return the date 6 months later after the given date at 00:00:00
 calendar.getTime()
        Parameters:
        date - The date to initialize the calendar with
        Returns:
        The initialized Calendar object

      • random

        Random random()
        Provides the access to the standard java.util.Random generator instance created for the duration of the calculation task (= not get recreated for each logic element evaluation).

        Example 1: 

         def randomPct = (90 + api.random().nextInt(20)) / 100
 // randomPct contains the random Integer number between 90 (inclusive) and 110 (exclusive)

        Example 2: 

         def random = api.random().nextLong()
 // random contains the random Long number e.g. -2249116201139970752
        Returns:
        The java.util.Random generator instance created for the duration of the calculation task (i.e. does not get re-created for each formula (element) evaluation).

                        Object... timePeriodsAndProductAndCustomerGroups)
        Deprecated.
        Use DatamartContext.newDatamartSlice(String, Object...) instead.
        Creates a new DatamartSlice, which allows setting filter criteria along the Time, CustomerGroup, ProductGroup or other dimensions in a Datamart, initialized with the name of the time dimension field and an optional set filter criteria.
        Parameters:
        dateFieldName - Name of the time dimension field
        timePeriodsAndProductAndCustomerGroups - TimePeriod, CustomerGroup, ProductGroup filters
        Returns:
        The initialized DatamartContext.DataSlice object

      • datamartFilter

        Filter datamartFilter​(Object groupOrSlice)
        Translates a CustomerGroup/ProductGroup/DMDataSlice to its equivalent filter representation, mapping the domain level field names to the corresponding Datamart field names in the process.

        Note: A DMDataSlice object can be instantiated by api.newDatamartSlice, or in a Rebate calculation context, referenced by the 'calulationBase' binding. 

         def filter = api.customerGroupEntry("Customer Filter")
 return filter != null ? api.datamartFilter(filter) : Filter.custom("1=1")
        Parameters:
        groupOrSlice - The CustomerGroup/ProductGroup/DMDataSlice to translate into Datamart level filter criteria
        Returns:
        Filter object representing either the CustomerGroup/ProductGroup dimension slice or the passed slice in the Datamart

      • datamartQuery

        Object datamartQuery​(Object... queryAndDatamartAndProjectionsAndFilters)
        Deprecated.
        Use DatamartContext.newQuery(Table)
        This method is deprecated and exists only for backward compatibility for older in-production formulas. Use the Groovy query API instead (see DatamartContext). Runs a query against a PA Datamart. The query is only executed once in the scope of a calculation job (PL generation etc.). The query is identified by the first argument. This is also the 'handle' by which datamartLookup refers to the result set of the query.
        Parameters:
        queryAndDatamartAndProjectionsAndFilters - The first argument is the query ID/handle, subsequent arguments are either DM field names (projections) or filter objects.
        Returns:
        The numbers of rows in the result set. The actual result set data is stored in memory for a subsequent lookup by datamartLookup(...).

      • datamartLookup

        Object datamartLookup​(Object... queryAndProjectionsAndFilters)
        Deprecated.
        Use DatamartContext.executeQuery(DatamartContext.Query), net.pricefx.formulaengine.DatamartContext#executeSqlQuery(String, DatamartContext.Query...) or DatamartContext.streamQuery(DatamartContext.Query)
        This method is deprecated and only exists for backward compatibility for older in-production formulas. Use the Groovy query API instead (see DatamartContext). Looks up rows in the result of a datamartQuery(...) call.
        Parameters:
        queryAndProjectionsAndFilters - The first arguments is the ID/handle from a datamartQuery(...) call. Subsequent arguments refer to projections specified in the datamartQuery call or filter objects leading to additional filtering of rows in the result set.
        Returns:
        A single primitive value if the result of the lookup results in one row for just one projection. A list of values if the result is multiple rows for one projection. A map of (field name, value) pairs for a single row result with multiple projections. A Matrix2D object for multiple rows and projections.

      • getDatamartContext

        DatamartContext getDatamartContext()
        Provides an API for querying and loading PA data. The most common cases are:

        Example 1: 

         def ctx = api.getDatamartContext()

 def dm = ctx.getDatamart("Transactions_DM")

 def query = ctx.newQuery(dm, true)
     .select("ProductGroup")
     .select("SUM(SalesValue)")
     .where(
         Filter.equal("Year", "2019"),
     )
     .groupBy("ProductGroup")
     .orderBy("ProductGroup")

 def result = ctx.executeQuery(query)

 return result?.getData()

        Example 2: 

         def date = api.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd", "2018-01-24")
 def week = api.getDatamartContext().calendar().getWeek(date)
 return week
        Returns:
        DatamartContext

      • getTableContext

        TableContext getTableContext()
                      throws Exception
        Provides an SQL query (SELECT only) interface to PA query results.
        Returns:
        TableContext
        Throws:
        Exception - if a DB connection cannot be established

      • getDatamartRowSet

        DatamartRowSet getDatamartRowSet()
        Available in a PA DataLoad context only, a DatamartRowSet provides access to the rows being loaded or calculated.
        Returns:
        The DatamartRowSet holding the data rows to load in the target FC.

      • getDatamartRowSet

        DatamartRowSet getDatamartRowSet​(String name)
        Available in a PA DataLoad context only, a DatamartRowSet provides access to the rows currently being loaded or calculated. The following Data Load types make use of rowsets:
        • 'Flush': The source rowset gives access to the DataFeed data rows, while the target rowset holds the rows to be loaded in the target DataSource (DS).
        • 'Calculate': The source rowset gives access to the source rows, which can either come from a DF or from the target FC being calculated. The target rowset holds the rows to be loaded in the target FC. Initially, this rowset will be empty unless the DL.withTargetSnapshot option is set, in which case the rowset will be pre-populated with the target FC rows in the scope of the DL (determined by the DL.filter).

        Example 1: 

         def newRow = [
      "sku" : "1234456",
      "cost" : 123
 ]

 def target = api.getDatamartRowSet("target")

 // target is null when running the logic test execute, so you can use trace for debugging purposes
 if (target) {
     target.addRow(newRow)
 } else {
     api.trace("newRow", null, newRow)
 }

        Example 2: 

         def source = api.getDatamartRowSet("source")
 def target = api.getDatamartRowSet("target")

 while (source?.next()) {
     def row = source?.getCurrentRow()

     // perform the required calculation of row
     target["TotalSales"] = ...

     // target is null when running the logic test execute, so you can use trace for debugging purposes
     if (target) {
         target.addRow(row)
     }
 }
        Parameters:
        name - Either 'source' to select the source FC or 'target' to select the target FC rowset.
        Returns:
        The DatamartRowSet holding either the source or target rowset.
        See Also:
        getDatamartContext(), DatamartContext.newQuery(Table)

      • resetSKUContextSwitch

        void resetSKUContextSwitch()
        Resets a SKU context switch to the originally specified SKU.
        See Also:
        switchSKUContext(String)

      • product

        Object product()
        Retrieves the product object for the SKU currently being calculated (SKU in the context) The result product object is cached and the next call reads the value from cached record.

        Example: 

         def item = api.product()
 def message = checkItem(item)

 def checkItem(item) {
     if (!item.attribute2) {          // Product group
         return "Product group not set"
     } else if (!item.attribute5) {   // Manufacturer
         return "Manufacturer not set"
     }
 }
        Returns:
        The full current product Map
        See Also:
        currentItem(), product(String), product(String, String), product(String, String, String, Object)

      • product

        Object product​(String attributeName)
        Retrieves the given attribute value from the Products table for the SKU being calculated (the SKU in the context). The product object is cached and the next call reads the value from the cached record.

        When reading the predefined columns, use their system names - e.g. label, unitOfMeasure.

        When accessing the attribute columns, preferably use their "Name" defined for the column, when you've set up the table. You can also use their system names (attribute1, ...), but it does not give you much information, which value you're reading.

        Special Use-Case: when you call the function with "sku" attribute, this specific call is optimized in the backend, so it does not make a lookup in the Products table, but instead returns the SKU value directly from the context.

        Side effect: During the Syntax Check mode, this functions triggers creation of the input parameter Product. But because Product is usually selected in another way (e.g. in Pricelist or Quote), this would apply only in rare use-cases.

        Examples: 

         def label = api.product("label")
 def uom = api.product("unitOfMeasure")
 def productGroup = api.product("ProductGroup")  //  api.product("attribute1")
 def manufacturer = api.product("Manufacturer") //  api.product("attribute4")
        Parameters:
        attributeName - The name of the attribute column, which value we want to retrieve. For the customizable attributeX columns, it can be either in the form "attribute1" or the Name provided in the dialog Rename and Customize Column.
        Returns:
        The value of the attribute
        See Also:
        currentItem(String), product(), product(String, String), product(String, String, String, Object)

      • product

        Object product​(String attributeName,
               String sku)
        Retrieves the given attribute value from the Products table for a given SKU.

        When reading the predefined columns, use their system names - e.g. label, unitOfMeasure.

        When accessing the attribute columns, preferably use their "Name" defined for the column, when you've set up the table. You can also use their system names (attribute1, ...), but it does not give you much information, which value you're reading.

        Example: 

         def masterSku = ...
 def label

 if (masterSku) {
     // take the label from the masterSku item
     label = api.product("label", masterSku)
 } else {
    // take label from the item being calculated
    label = api.product("label")
 }
        Parameters:
        attributeName - The name of the attribute column, which value we want to retrieve. For the customizable attributeX columns, it can be either in the form "attribute1" or the Name provided in the dialog Rename and Customize Column.
        sku - The product
        Returns:

      • customer

        Object customer​(String attributeName)
        Retrieves the given attribute value from the Customers table for the customer selected by user in the input parameter "Customer". The customer object is cached and the next call reads the value from cached record.

        Note: the value of the Customer input parameter can be also inherited from the parent - for example, if the user selects the Customer on the Quote header, then such input value is available also during the Quote Line calculation.

        Important Side effect: During the Syntax Check mode, this functions triggers creation of the input parameter Customer. This influence you, for example, on the Quote line item, where you might need to read certain customer attribute value, but maybe not create the Customer picker. In that case you must avoid running this function call during the Syntax Check mode.

        Parameters:
        attributeName - The attribute value to be returned. Can be either the real column name (like customerId, name, attribute1) or also the name given in the Rename and Customize column dialog.

        This syntax is only relevant for MATRIX 5-key price parameter tables (MLTV5). The function searches for a record in the price parameter table named parameterName where the columns 'key1'-'key5' match the key1-key5 parameters and returns the value from the column attributeName. Once the record is found, it remains cached during the whole calculation and the next call for the same arguments reads the value from the cache.
        Parameters:
        parameterName - The name of the price parameter table
        attributeName - The name of the attribute to retrieve, or a comma separated list of attributes
        key1 - The key1 of the parameter table
        key2 - The key2 of the parameter table
        key3 - The key3 of the parameter table
        key4 - The key4 of the parameter table
        key5 - The key5 of the parameter table
        Returns:
        The value of the column attributeName or full object if attribute name is null

      • trace

        void trace​(String functionName,
           String parameters,
           Object result)
        Generates a trace message that can be used during testing of the logic. The Trace window has 3 columns (FunctionName, Parameters, Result), which you can use for your debugging messages. During the regular logic execution the trace messages are ignored. The parameters specify the output of the trace.

        Note: Consider commenting out the Trace messages before deploying to production

        Performance consideration: be carefull when using the api.trace() in a loop. If your logic (during testing) produces gigantic list of trace messages on the backend, then this big list must be transferred over internet to your local machine (when using Studio) and it can take significant time.

        Example: 

             def listPrice = ...
     api.trace("listPrice", out.Currency, listPrice)
        Parameters:
        functionName - A function name. Regardless of the name, it can be any text you need to show up during testing. Usually, if you use trace() for output of a variable, this is used for the variable name. Note: Originally this was used as a name of the function which outputted the value, so that's why the name.
        parameters - Parameters to trace. Regardless of the name, it can be any text you need to show up during testing. Note: originally this was used to display values of parameters supplied into a function, hence the name.
        result - The result of the trace. Usually the value, which you're tracing during testing. You can supply any value you'd like to watch in the Trace window. Note: Originally this was used to show result of a function call, hence the name.
        See Also:
        trace(Object), trace(String, Object)

        Retrieves an already generated (in the previous logic code) input parameter in the form of a ContextParameter object. This object can be used to set the label and the default value of the input, if it's required, etc.

        Example: 

        
 def p = api.getParameter("Quantity")        // retrieve the context parameter with the same name as the input
 if (p != null && p.getValue() == null) {
   p.setLabel("Required Quantity")           // set the displayed label
   p.setRequired(true)                       // set the mandatory hint
   p.setReadOnly(false)                      // set the read only flag
   p.setValue(1)                             // set the default value with which the input is pre-populated
 }
 return qty ?: 1                             // if user doesn't specify a value, return 1
        Parameters:
        parameterName - The name of the input parameter to retrieve
        Returns:
        The parameter object or null

        In case of (chained) price lists, this method allows for an easy retrieval of records from the previous list.
        Parameters:
        sku - The SKU to look for
        key2 - The key2 to look for

        The typedId string

      • getProperty

        Object getProperty​(Object object,
                   String path)
        Serves as an optimized way to get to certain object attributes. The sandbox automatically converts "real" server objects into a map representation when the object is accessed. This is for safety (sandboxing) reasons. This process converts all object attributes. If only one specific attribute is of interest, this method shortcuts that as the underlying object is not exposed (and thus does not force the sandbox into conversion).
        Parameters:
        object - The object whose value to retrieve
        path - The attribute name
        Returns:
        The value of the attribute

      • getPropertyByElementName

        Object getPropertyByElementName​(Object object,
                                String elementName)
        Gets object attributes by elementName. It works only for objects that have meta attributes which contain the element name. These are e.g. PLI, SIMI, PGI, MPLI.
        Parameters:
        object - The object whose value to retrieve
        elementName - The elementName value
        Returns:
        The value of the attribute or null if invalid object or no matching meta found

      • currentItem

        Object currentItem()
        In case of a list processing operation, this method gets the currently worked on record, for example:
        • for price calculations, it returns price list item or price grid item or quote item
        • for Calculated Field Set, it returns the row being processed, like Product/Customer/ProductExtension/PriceParameter row

        Important: The Pricelist line item is initially (during 1st pass) created only after the first logic execution (i.e. the PLI is created from the logic results). Which means, that during the first logic execution, the PLI does not exist yet and the method will return null.

        Example - in the Pricelist logic 

         def currentItem = api.currentItem()
 def currentSku = currentItem != null ? currentItem.attribute20 : api.product("attribute20")

        Example - in the Calculated Field Set: 

         def cost = api.currentItem()?.attribute1
 def exchangeRate = 1.1 // fixed rate for sample purposes
 return cost != null ? (cost * exchangeRate) : null
        Returns:
        The item object as a Map
        See Also:
        currentItem(String), currentItemByElementName(String)

      • currentItemByElementName

        Object currentItemByElementName​(String elementName)
        In case of a list processing operation, this method gets the currently worked on record's property by elementName.

        For example, when you want to get value of LPG column, which was generated by element named ListPrice, you do not need to know, that it was stored in column attribute3, but you can ask for the value using the name of the element, which provided the value.

        Parameters:
        elementName - The element name
        Returns:
        The item's property value
        See Also:
        currentItem(String)

      • currentItem

        Object currentItem​(String attributeName)
        Same as currentItem() but returns only value of the given attribute.

        Example: 

         def activePrice = api.currentItem("activePrice")
        Parameters:
        attributeName - The attribute to retrieve
        Returns:
        The value of the attribute
        See Also:
        currentItemByElementName(String)

      • contextSkuSet

        Set<Object> contextSkuSet​(int startRow)
        Returns a set of SKUs which comprise so-called 'SKU context' of the current formula execution.

        The form of the SKU context differs, e.g., in case of the product detail formula executed via price grid details, the resulting set will contain all SKUs of the left-pane grid.

        Note #1: If the SKU context is not supported by the current formula execution, null is returned.

        Note #2: A maximum of 200 SKUs is returned per one call. If there are more, startRow must be used to get all SKUs in the set.

        Parameters:
        startRow - The starting row of the result set
        Returns:
        A set of SKUs or null if the SKU context is not available for the current formula execution

                                       Filter... filters)
        Searches for all types of objects with a freestyle query and iterates over the result set. The filters are ANDed together.

        This method is not supported in the Syntax Check mode.

        Important note: you have to close the iterator after iterating the data using Closeable.close().

        Parameters:
        typeCode - A type code string of the type of the object to search for. All available type codes can be retrieved by calling <hostname>/pricefx/<partition name>/fetch
        sortBy - String of fields/attributes, separated by comma, based on which the resultset should be sorted. Any field can be prefixed with '-' for descending sort order
        fields - Map of pairs [fieldname : aggregation] holding fields to be returned in the result where aggregation can be one of SUM, AVG, MIN or MAX The key of the map is the field name. The value can be a field operator like SUM, AVG, MIN or MAX
        distinctValuesOnly - Fetches distinct/all values. The use case here is fetching distinct single column values.
        filters - An optional list of filters (that will evaluated using AND operator)
        Returns:
        The result implements the Iterator interface, allowing for iteration over all records in scope of the query.

      • getManualOverride

        Object getManualOverride​(String elementName)
        Returns a user entered value that overrides the calculated result of a logic element.

        Note that the manualOverride works as a flag - when it is set for an element, the final value of that element is taken from the manually entered value and the calculation of that element does not run at all. If this flag is not set, the final value is the calculated result.

        Parameters:
        elementName - The formula/result element that is overridden
        Returns:
        The overridden value or null if not overridden

      • removeManualOverride

        void removeManualOverride​(String elementName)
        Removes a user entered value that overrides the calculated result of a logic element.

        If you have a condition to remove the manual override, it is recommended to put this condition in a separate logic element which is always executed (not in the same one which has the manual override allowed; the reason is that once the user enters a value manually, the element calculation does not run at all, so the condition would not be evaluated). Note also that a logic element with api.removeManualOverride() must be before an element which is cleared.

        Parameters:
        elementName - The formula/result element that is overridden

      • abortCalculation

        void abortCalculation()
        Aborts the current item (e.g. pricelist line, quote line) calculation - i.e. stops the execution of subsequent elements of the logic. The subsequent logic elements are not executed and the calculation engine continues with calculation of the next item.

        Important: This function only sets the abortCalculation flag, so the element where api.abortCalculation() is called finishes its execution and still returns a value (but it is the last element returning a value).

        Note: This function is often called together with isSyntaxCheck() after the parameters are gathered.

        Example of element logic: 

         if (api.isSyntaxCheck()) {
   api.abortCalculation()
 }

        Example of element logic: 

         def price = ...

 if (!price) {
   api.abortCalculation()
 }

 return price  //!!! This line will still be executed during the Syntax Check, the logic will be aborted only after this element finishes

      • abortCalculation

        void abortCalculation​(boolean keepOld)
        Aborts the current item calculation. The subsequent logic elements are not executed and the calculation engine continues with calculation of the next item. This function only sets the abortCalculation flag, so the element where abortCalculation is called still returns a value (and is the last element returning a value). This function can be called together with isSyntaxCheck() after the parameters are gathered.

        Parameters:
        keepOld - Should the old outputs be retained? Only applicable for quote and contract calculation!

      • abortSyntaxCheck

        void abortSyntaxCheck()
        Aborts the current item parameter determination. This helps in logic with many elements to tell the engine to not to spend more time on next elements when logic author is sure that there is no any statement that would generate any new inputs. This function can be called together with isSyntaxCheck() after the parameters are gathered.

      • throwException

        void throwException​(String errorMessage)
             throws XExpression
        Throws a calculation exception with the specified message and aborts the calculation logic execution immediately.

        Sample use cases:

        • in Workflow logic - when the Workflow logic cannot find important/vital data needed for building of the approval steps, then it can throw exception, which immediately stops the submission process and the Quote will be still in Draft.
        • in Quote logic - to stop processing Quote Line calculation, when the important inputs (or values) are not available. If the calculation was called as part of the Submission process, the process stops, and the Quote stays in Draft state.
        Parameters:
        errorMessage - The error message that is displayed
        Throws:
        XExpression - The custom calculation exception

      • criticalAlert

        void criticalAlert​(String msg)
        Marks the current logic element as a critical alert and provides the given message.

        In a price grid, price list or in a quote line item, it marks the whole record with a dark red background color.

        In the calculation results (e.g. in Quote line results), it displays a red circle with an exclamation mark next to the element.

        To display the error message for price grids and price lists, click the arrow in the Detail column.

        Displayed only if called from an element that has its 'Display mode' enabled for the given context ('PriceGrids', 'Pricelists' or 'Quote Configurator').

        Note: when used in a quote line context, it blocks submission of the quote.

        Parameters:
        msg - The alert message
        See Also:
        redAlert(String), yellowAlert(String)

      • redAlert

        void redAlert​(String msg)
        Marks the current logic element with a red alert and provides the given message.

        In a price grid, price list or in a quote line item, it marks the corresponding field background with a red background color.

        In the calculation results (e.g. in Quote line results), it displays a plain red circle next to the element.

        To display the error message for price grids and price lists, click the arrow in the Detail column.

        Displayed only if called from an element that has its 'Display mode' enabled for the given context ('PriceGrids', 'Pricelists' or 'Quote Configurator').

        Parameters:
        msg - The alert message

        In a price grid, price list or in a quote line item, it marks the corresponding field background with a yellow background color.

        In the calculation results (e.g. in Quote line results), it displays a plain yellow circle next to the element.

        To display the error message for price grids and price lists, click the arrow in the Detail column.

        The Alert is displayed only if called from an element that has its 'Display mode' enabled for the given context ('PriceGrids', 'Pricelists' or 'Quote Configurator').

        Parameters:
        msg - The alert message
        See Also:

      • setAlertMessage

        void setAlertMessage​(String msg)
        Marks the current formula element with the given alert message. If one was already set by means of a yellowAlert, redAlert or criticalAlert call, then that message is replaced. When not raising an alert through any of these calls, but still setting a message with this method, then the message will be displayed wherever calculation results are shown with alert messages, but withoud any yellow or red background coloring.
        Parameters:
        msg - The alert message

      • buildFlexChart

        ResultFlexChart buildFlexChart​(String baseTemplateToUse,
                               Object definition)
        Deprecated.
        Creates a FlexChart from the passed definition by merging it with options defined within the baseTemplateToUse template.

        Although it may change in future releases, for now, a FlexChart is nothing else than a Highcharts chart. Therefore, the passed definition (also applies to the baseTemplateToUse template) must denote Highcharts options - please consult Highcharts documentation for more details, and note that FlexCharts must comply to the outdated Highcharts release 4.

        Since Highcharts options are normally specified by a JavaScript object literal, the passed definition must be either a JSON string representing such object literal, or any object which can be mapped to such JSON representation. Therefore, typically the definiton will be passed as a map of maps.

        Example: 

         def definition = [
   chart: [
     type: "bar"
   ],
   title: [
     text: "A common FlexChart"
   ],
   series: [
    [
      data: [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21]
    ]
   ]
 ]

 api.buildFlexChart(definition)
        Note that not all Highcharts options are supported. Moreover, usage of some options is prohibited deliberately. These are currently global, events and every JavaScript function-based options.

        Note: FlexChart templates are defined by an administrator in the 'Configuration' section.

        Parameters:
        baseTemplateToUse - The name of the template to use as a basis for merging with the passed definition; if null, the predefined Default template is used
        definition - The definition of the FlexChart; currently, this will typically be a string or map of maps containing Highcharts options
        Returns:
        A helper object linking the resulting FlexChart, baseTemplateToUse and type of the result - which will always be 'FLEXCHART', here
        See Also:

      • buildHighmap

        ResultHighmap buildHighmap​(Map<String,​?> definition)
        Creates a ResultHighmap from the passed definition.
        As opposed to FlexChart, the definition is passed straight to the Highmaps library, currently release 8.0. There is no validation, no templates merging, and JavaScript functions are not supported. HighChart provide better performance than FlexChart since
        Parameters:
        definition - The definition of the Highmap as a map of maps and arrays
        Returns:
        buildHighmap object

      • newAdaptiveHistogram

        AdaptiveHistogram newAdaptiveHistogram()
        Creates a histogram that adapts to an unknown data distribution. It keeps a more or less constant resolution throughout the data range by increasing the resolution where the data is more dense. For example, if the data has such a distribution that most of the values lie in the 0-5 range and only a few are in the 5-10 range, the histogram would adapt and assign more counting buckets to the 0-5 range and less to the 5-10 range. The histogram provides a method to obtain the accumulative density function for a given data point (getValueForPercentile), and a method to obtain the data point that splits the data set at a given percentile (getValueForPercentile).
        Returns:
        A new AdaptiveHistogram object

                       String datetime)
        Parses a datetime (entered as a String) according to the given pattern.

        Important note: This method will use the UTC time zone for parsing (unless the provided pattern uses a syntax explicitly specifying a time zone). If a different time zone is required, use the parseDateTime(String, String, int, int) method which allows to set a time zone by providing an offset to UTC in hours and minutes.

        Example: 

         def now = api.parseDateTime("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss", "2019-01-23T13:44:52")
 now.getYear()            // 2019
 now.getMonthOfYear()     // 1
 now.getDayOfMonth()      // 23
 now.getHourOfDay()       // 13
 now.getMinuteOfHour()    // 44
 now.getSecondOfMinute()  // 52
        Parameters:
        pattern - The pattern for parsing (see DateTimeFormat for pattern format specification)
        datetime - The datetime as a String in the format specified by the pattern
        Returns:
        The datetime
        See Also:
        parseDate(String, String), parseDateTime(String, String, int, int)

      • parseDateTime

        DateTime parseDateTime​(String pattern,
                       String datetime,
                       int tzHoursOffset,
                       int tzMinutesOffset)
        Parses a datetime (entered as a String) according to a given pattern and time zone.

        Important note: This method will always use the provided time zone, regardless of the possible time zone set explicitly in datetime.

        Parameters:
        pattern - The pattern for parsing (see DateTimeFormat for pattern format specification)
        datetime - The datetime as a String in the format specified by the pattern
        tzHoursOffset - The offset in hours from UTC, from -23 to +23

      • createElementNameFilter

        Filter createElementNameFilter​(String elementName,

                               String... listTypedIds)
        Creates a cross-list filter expression based on meta data. Example: You need to filter across multiple price lists on items that have the value "A" in the column with the elementName "XYZ". Now the elementName XYZ might be mapped to a different attributeXX column for every list. So a simple attributeXX=A filter does not work. This method does a metadata lookup and creates a proper filter clause based on it for every list. For every list this translates into something like: (attributeXX = A AND listId = <id>) These filters are ORed together.
        Parameters:
        elementName - The element name (originates from the logic element name or MPL integration tag)
        fieldValue - The value (= operator applied) of that attribute
        listTypedIds - A list of typedId of the "header" objects. E.g. 34.PL. Supported type codes are PL, MPL, PG and SIM
        Returns:
        The filter object

        Note: These are not returned when using other methods (e.g., pricelistItem(String, String)).

        Parameters:
        typedId - The typedId of the item, e.g. 34.PLI. Supported type codes are PLI, XPLI, SIMI, XSIMI, PGI, XPGI and RR
        Returns:
        The map of individual calculation results with 'Element Name' as the key

      • getItemActiveCalculationResults

        Parameters:
        typedId - The typedId of the item, e.g. 34.PLI. Supported type codes are PGI and XPGI
        Returns:
        The map of individual calculation results with 'Element Name' as the key

         throws XExpression
        Issues an HTTP call to an external entity. Defaulting to POST request and JSON content type. Arbitrary addresses/URLs are allowed with the exception of internal addresses (in particular xxx.pricefx.net hosts are blacklisted for security reasons). If called from a logic element, it has the same timeout as defined for that element.
        Parameters:
        url - The full URL to the HTTPS or HTTP endpoint
        body - The body of the request
        Returns:

                 Boolean... responseBodyAsAString)
          throws XExpression
        Triggers a HTTPS request towards the Pricefx server, either local one or an external one. Arbitrary addresses/URLs are allowed with the exception of internal addresses (in particular xxx.pricefx.net hosts are blacklisted for security reasons). If this method is called from a logic element, it has the same timeout as defined for that element. To be able to use this function, you need to set up a bound partition first in Configuration > All Modules > Bound Partitions.

        Example: 

        
 def items = ...
 def requestBody = []
 items.each { item ->

     def record = [
         "name": "Increase",
         "sku": item.sku,
         "attribute1": item.newValue,
     ]

     requestBody.add([
         data: record,
         oldValues: [:]
     ])
 }
 def resp = api.boundCall("localhost", "/integrate/PX/batch", api.jsonEncode(requestBody), true)
        Parameters:
        uniqueName - The unique name of the bound partition
        relativeUrl - The relative URL to the Pricefx server command. First slash excluded.
        body - The body of the request
        responseBodyAsAString - If the first param is true, the body is not converted to JSON but returned as a String
        Returns:
        A map containing two elements 'responseBody' and 'errorCode'
        Throws:
        XExpression - If the bound partition is not set or the call fails

        Object add​(String typeCode,
           Map<String,​Object> values)
        Adds a new object to the collection of objects of the given type.

        Note: This operation will only work in contexts that allow object modification (CFS, CalculationFlow and direct formula execution via JSON API). This method cannot be used in distributed calculation.

        • CFS
        • CalculationFlow
        • direct formula execution via JSON API
        If any of the attributes is null, the record will not be updated. If you want a certain attribute to have a null value, do it explicitly, by putting e.g. the “NULL” marker value there or a similar one.

        Example 1: 

         def entry = [
         lookupTableName : "ExchangeRates",
         key1 : "USD",
         key2 : "EUR",
         attribute1 : 0.879
 ]
 api.add("MLTV2", entry)
        Parameters:
        typeCode - A type code string of the type of the object to search for. All available type codes can be retrieved by calling <hostname>/pricefx/<partition name>/fetch
        values - The key-value pairs representing fields of the object you want to add. Note that all significant fields have to be present.
        Returns:
        The added object or null if error occurred

        AttributedResult attributedResult​(Object result)
        Creates an AttributedResult object to be returned as a result of an output element.

        Since AttributedResult is configurable, it is used when it is not sufficient to only return a plain value, but it is also required to adjust formatting, e.g. color, underline, etc.

        The usage is simple, instead of returning the output value, create a new AttributedResult instance like this: api.attributedResult(plain value), customize it by calling its various methods, and return it finally.

        Example: 

        
 def cost = api.getElement("Margin_pct")
 return api.attributedResult(cost)
 .withBackgroundColor(cost < 0.30 ? "red" : "#0101DF")
 .withSuffix(cost < 0.30 ? "!!!" : null)
 .withTextColor(cost < 0.30 ? "white" : null)
 .withTextDecoration(cost < 0.30 ? "underline" : null)
        Parameters:
        result - The calculation result
        Returns:
        The AttributedResult object
        See Also:
        AttributedResult - for details on formatting

      • wrap

        WrappedResult wrap​(Object result)

        Parameters:
        result - The result
        Returns:
        A wrapped result object. Should only be used as a return statement of a logic element.

         return "yellow"
     } else if (value >= 0.1) {
         return "green"
     }
 }

         // or to a price list of a given ID
         "Pricelist" : matrix.linkToPriceList("Open Pricelist", 123, null),

         // or a to custom page (result identical to the previous)
         "CustomerId" : matrix.linkCell("Open Customer", "customersPage", "123456"),

         // or add a library images, such as Traffic, BlackTraffic or Arrow
         "Margin Status" : matrix.libraryImage("BlackTraffic", getTrafficColor(-0.2f)),

                  boolean removeNulls)
        Walks a filter and all its sub filters, visiting each filter in the tree. A pair of closures is used to visit each filter. Each closure can replace the Filter that is visiting. If it does, a new tree will be created for every part of the tree that is affected, thus preserving the original tree. removeNulls is consulted only in case of (sub)filters which take a list of sub-filters.

        Hence, this method may be used in many cases. For instance, you can use it for mapping the current property set to another one, e.g. to convert a PB filter to a PA one. Similarly to this example: 

        
 def propertyMappings = ["sku": "ProductID"]

 api.walkFilter(pbFilter, null, { filter ->
     if (filter != null && propertyMappings[filter.property] != null) {
         filter.property = propertyMappings[filter.property]
     }
     filter
 }, false);
        Parameters:
        filter - The filter object
        visitBefore - The before closure
        visitAfter - The after closure
        removeNulls - Removes nulls
        Returns:
        If any changes have been made, the new Filter; if not, the original Filter.
