Dear Support,

Is there a way I can lock a custom indicator to a specific user ID.

for example,

If (UserID = "DEMO**** ")
{access = 1;}
else {access = 0;}

Thank you

Hi ICL:

I don't have tested, just searching in wiki and javadoc, but i think you can get that info with:

private IAccount accountData;
private String login;

....

 accountData = context.getAccount();
 login = accountData.getAccountId();

I hope that helps.

Best regards

Trade well and good luck

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.
I tried this without much success.
Any other idea's would be appreciated.

Thanks.

As already another user mentioned - just check the account id in the onStart method:

    public void onStart(IIndicatorContext context) {        
        context.getConsole().getOut().println(context.getAccount().getAccountId());
    }

If this is not usable in your case then provide more details on how the functionality should work.

Thank you. Works perfectly but it prints the ID 3 times.
any ideas why?

Thanks

Because the onStart method gets called not only on indicator start but also on the indicator validation when it gets loaded in platform.

Thanks,

so I tried the following but it doesn't work and it keeps returning false.
Could you tell me where I am going wrong?

Thank you

 
private string login;

public void onStart(IIndicatorContext context)
 {       
        context.getConsole().getOut().println(context.getAccount().getAccountId());
        login = context.getAccount().getAccountId();
}


......


 public IndicatorResult calculate(int startIndex, int endIndex) 
{
   if (login == XXX) {valid = 1;};
   else {valid=0;}
.......
}

use String.equals or String.equalsIgnoreCase otherwise instead of strings you compare object references.

sorry, rookie mistake!
Thank you very much.
