I am using an apply function to build SAIL components based on an array of data(

You need to use the new a!applyComponents() function.

Ok thanks for the pointer. This has broken all of the saveInto parameters. I'm passing in a CDT array but how can I save back into ri!cdt.value as I've lost control of the index

Take a look at this recipe on how to add and populate sections dynamically: forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Recipes

It uses a!applyComponents to return SAIL sections, and also shows how you update fields of a CDT within each section.

FYI, I have a rule that calls some functions using the load() and I can confirm that it runs fine on 7.2 and fails on 7.4. This is on a standard portal based model that never touches Tempo or SAIL.

Ryan, that shouldn't happen. Can you attache a copy of the rule here and if it's not something that I can execute on a clean environment a better description of what "fails" means? A screenshot or the exact error message would help.

I've found multiple references in the forums & release notes to the load() function not working anymore in 7.3/7.4 in certain looping functions. "You cannot use this function within the Web Content Channel or a Looping Function or else an error occurs."

Alert error:

There is a problem with task “Update Days In Process” in the process “ARG: Dev: Update Days in Process - ELAR # 90319”. ERROR:An error occurred while evaluating expression: =if(isnull(apply(rule!roundDurationToDaysBase24,apply(rule!calculateHoldDurationForCollateralService,pv!theCollaterals_ArgCollaterals.collateralId_Int))),0,apply(rule!roundDurationToDaysBase24,apply(rule!calculateHoldDurationForCollateralService,pv!theCollaterals_ArgCollaterals.collateralId_Int))) (Expression evaluation error at function 'apply': Error evaluating function 'apply' : Expression evaluation error in rule 'calculateholddurationforcollateralservice': The load function cannot be used within rules called by looping functions. Instead, pass the necessary variables via rule inputs. Load variables found: local!collateralId, local!arrayOfPlaceOnHoldEvents, local!arrayOfTakeOffHoldEvents.) (Data Inputs)


Here is the primary function in question:

=if(isnull(apply(rule!roundDurationToDaysBase24,apply(rule!calculateHoldDurationForCollateralService,pv!theCollaterals_ArgCollaterals.collateralId_Int))),0,apply(rule!roundDurationToDaysBase24,apply(rule!calculateHoldDurationForCollateralService,pv!theCollaterals_ArgCollaterals.collateralId_Int)))

roundDurationToDaysBase24 = Derives the integer number of days from a duration-type object. Will the number of days up if hours component of duration is greater than or equal to 12.
= if(isnull(ri!duration),0,tointeger(ri!duration)+if((hour(ri!duration))>=12,1,0))

calculateHoldDurationForCollateralService = Returns the total duration (may be sum of several different periods) for which a specific collateral service (identified by parameter collateralId_int) has had the status of "On Hold".

=load(
local!collateralId:ri!collateralId_int,
local!arrayOfPlaceOnHoldEvents: rule!getOnHoldEventsForCollateralService(local!collateralId).timestamp_datetime,
local!arrayOfTakeOffHoldEvents: rule!getHoldReleaseEventsForCollateralService(local!collateralId).timestamp_datetime,
if(
                    or(
                              length(local!arrayOfPlaceOnHoldEvents)<1,
                              isnull(local!arrayOfPlaceOnHoldEvents)
                              ),
                    0,
                    if(
                              length(local!arrayOfPlaceOnHoldEvents)=length(local!arrayOfTakeOffHoldEvents),
                              reduce(rule!sumDurations,now()-now(),apply(rule!calculateDuration,merge(local!arrayOfPlaceOnHoldEvents,local!arrayOfTakeOffHoldEvents))),
                              reduce(rule!sumDurations,now()-now(),apply(rule!calculateDuration,merge(local!arrayOfPlaceOnHoldEvents,append(local!arrayOfTakeOffHoldEvents,now()))))
                              )
                    )
          )

load() only has special behavior within a SAIL UI. For expressions that you use elsewhere, use with(), which can be used within looping functions.
