Hi gundk,
I have checked the above link, it will not help as it will run on the activity on change action set. My requirement is show the validation message using the editvalidate rule. I have to call the Business calendar function in the edit validate rule.
How to call the function IsBusinessday from the editvalidate rule. I have written the logic as below but it is throwing the error.
boolean Valid;
java.util.Date theDate = tools.getDateTimeUtils().parseDateTimeString(theValue);
java.util.Calendar cal=java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
Valid = pega_rules_businessDate.isBusinessday(theDate,"New Calendar");
the above line is showing error like this line: 7
pega_rules_businessDate cannot be resolved
Compile failed
Could you please help on this

Hi Sridhar,
You can use the below code to call the isBusinessday function in edit validate rule,
pega_rules_businesscalendar.isBusinessday(theDate,"CalendarName");
Caution: theDate should be the DateTime value not the Date, if you check the function parameters pega type. Sending the Date type might lead to the incorrect results for some scenarios.
Hope that answers your query.

Hi Mahesh,
I tested with above mentioned code from edit validate rule. it is throwing an error with "line: 15
The method isBusinessday(Date, String) is undefined for the type BusinessCalendar
Compile failed."
Should I have to get any instance of business calendar to call method
tried below things it is working for me now but not sure if this is the correct procedure or not. Could you please tell me on this.
boolean valid= false;
java.util.Date theDate = tools.getDateTimeUtils().parseDateTimeString(theValue);
com.pega.pegarules.priv.businessCalendar.CalendarUtility calUtil=com.pega.pegarules.priv.businessCalendar.CalendarUtility.getInstance();
com.pega.pegarules.priv.businessCalendar.BusinessCalendar businessCal=com.pegarules.generated.pega_rules_businesscalendar.checkCalendarCache("BusinessCalendar",false);
valid =calUtil.isBusinessDay(theDate ,businessCal);
return valid;
