Function working when running an activity, but not with an agent
Hello.
I'm trying to use the following in an activity:
@DateTime.addToDateYM(Param.CurrentDate,"0","-6","0","0","0","0")
(with Param.CurrentDate as a String or DateTime parameter, the problem is the same with both). The aim is to substract 6 months to the current date.
My activity is doing well when I run it but if an agent does, I keep having this message in the SMA:

Hi @ThomasL8,
Thanks for posting on PSC.
I have verified your use-case in-house. I am not sure what exactly could be the root cause of the problem you're facing.
Also, I didn't understand the second part of your post "It seems that the agent doesn't find a candidate matching the function with its current parameters (the first one being the unrecognized one) but I tried everything and nothing work: @CurrentDateTime(), @today(), BigDecimalString or DateTime parameter, etc."
If your requirement is to subtract 6 days from the passed date.
Try using "@addToDate(Param.CurrentDate,-6,0,0,0)" in the activity directly, if you're setting it in a property using "Property-Set". Or else, you could use it with reference to Library "@DateTime.addToDate(Param.CurrentDate,-6,0,0,0)".
Also, if you're facing any issue reference of "Param.CurrentDate". Instead directly passing the value(ideally it should work.), you can set the Param.CurrentDate in a local property in a step before you're referring this function and then refer it directly to your function. It would help in isolating the root cause.
Hope it helps, kindly notify if it does by marking this post as answered for larger Pega audience and tracking purposes.

Hi Asif. i've already tried all the solutions you proposed, nothing worked.
By "It seems that the agent doesn't find a candidate matching the function with its current parameters (the first one being the unrecognized one) " I meant: the first parameter (Param.CurrentDate) is the parameter that the function seems to be not expecting. It works when I run my activity, but not when the agent executes it. I tried to cast the parameter in many different property types, tried to set it with java code, try to put things like @today() as a parameter... Nothing worked.

What version are you using? I see this Support Article related to the same function.

Hi Carissa. I'm on 7.1.8. The error is the same but doesn't operate with the same function.

The issue is related to the assembly of the code and not the specific function. I see HFix-25979 exists for Pega 7.1.8. You can submit an SR to request the hot fix.
