Application Build

Does anyone know if it is possible to format the XML files that are created by the application extract. In particular I want to format the Metadata extract so that there is a single line for the member definition. I want to run a compare process to check what differences there are between 2 files. I want the member name included in the difference line rather than (for example) the currency has changed without any indication of the member. So this <member name...><properties><property name...> instead of: <member name...> <properties> <property name...> Thanks

Re-posting. I hope this time it is in right community.------Hi All,We are a large OneStream shop with 700+ users.  The system is in use for last couple of years.Currently our system is hosted in our own Azure environment and managed by our own infra team.We are currently reviewing to see whether we should continue with the same or should we go for OneStream Cloud Managed Service?I would love to hear from fellow OneStreamers following:1) Are you currently using OneStream cloud or hosting it on your Azure / Data center?2) Ours is a very complicated system with multiple group regulatory reporting as well as some LBU planning & budgeting apps on the same environment.   While speaking with a colleague, he told me that from his past experience, the system performance wasn't as great on the Cloud compared to customer managed environment.  Is this the experience of all OneStream customers out there?3) How's the support experience with OneStream Managed support?4) Did yo

Hi, After the reporting units have reported and certified their workflows. We need to post a group journal that affects almost all reporting units (this cannot be done earlier in the process). How is this possible without having to un-certify all companies and unlock descendants etc. There must be a simple way to post a group journal without touching the certified status of a reporting unit.  Please advice. Thanks!

I need to update the properties (Constraints/Texts) of 20.000 UD members based on transformation rules.  The script runs in 10 seconds, but once I add the 'SaveMemberInfo' method it surpasses 2h ... I tried both 'MemberInfo' & 'WritableMemberNoCache' with no performance enhancement Dim ListofU1Stores As List(Of MemberInfo) = BRApi.Finance.Metadata.GetMembersUsingFilter(si, dimensionName, myStoreFilter, True) For Each oStore In ListofU1Stores 'MemberInfo ''Dim myStore As MemberInfo = BRApi.Finance.Metadata.GetMember(si, DimType.UD1.Id, oStore.Member.MemberId, True) ''Dim StoreUDVMInfo As UDVMProperties = myStore.GetUDProperties() 'WritableMember Dim objWritableMember As WritableMember = BRApi.Finance.Members.ReadWritableMemberNoCache(si, DimType.UD1.Id, oStore.Member.Name) Dim objVaryingMemberProperties As VaryingMemberProperties = BRApi.Finance.Members.ReadMemberPropertiesNoCache(si, DimType.UD1.Id, oStore.Member.Name) Di

Is there any way to export a list of orphaned entity members?  We pull in hierarchy information from SAP and recently over 1000 entity members were blocked in SAP.  This resulted in them going into orphan status in our OneStream instance when we updated our metadata.  The issue is that some of these orphans had data and that is causing reconciliation issues.  If I could export a list of the orphans, I could match them against all of the SAP entities that have data to determine which orphans needed to be restored.  Thanks!

💎 OneStream consultants and administrators must make the correct decisions during the design phase of YOUR project. Top on the list: Deciding which one (Dynamic or stored Calculations) to use is a fundamental consideration of a project. Dynamic Calculations are an in-memory calculation that runs on demand (when necessary).  Stored Calculations are calculations that run as part of the Data Unit Calculation Sequence (DUCS). All alternatives should be considered before storing calculated values in the application. Dynamic Calculations do not store a value in the cell. Instead, a numerical value calculates and displays when the Member is referenced. Stored Calculations result in data records and data cells being stored in a database table.

Update: Found out the user ID is actually supposed to be a Guid object and not a string.    I have a data table which contains a list of UserId's. Currently, I need to convert those UserId's into usernames. I have been attempting to use the variations of the '.GetUser' api. With this test, I have been unable to actually fill my variable with user info for analysis. Is there any known workarounds for this situation? I confirmed that .GetUser works with the username, just not with the UserID.  Below is an example of my scripting, the string is of the userID I obtained by testing on a username.   

Dear Community, Whenever we use the drill down in OneStream, there is a call called "Calculation Script" at the very end, which in my case is never populated. How is it used ? Are there any way to access it / populate this cell ? Regards,

When adding a new member to my dimension I received the following error message when I tried to save it.  "Error saving member.  "B4632' already exists.   I did a search on that dimension and hierarchy and got the result "no items were found".   How can I determine why it will not let me save this member?  How can I find it?

Originally posted by Srikanth Arasada Hi, Can any one suggest a best automation tools that fits for Onestream to streamline some of the QA/Test project maintenance activities like regression testing and load testing? I have tried few available in the market like and ended up with no luck as the tools unable to recognize the objects in Onestream very effectively. Most of the times tools fail to capture the mouse location or an object/Item in the product page. Appreciate if you could share our experiences and any feed back if some one tried something before and worked for them. 

Hi OS Community,  Was wondering if anyone has visibility into or can point me in the direction to update the Environment Color in an application?   I know it can be done, thinking it might be the Config Utility or SNOW request, just having trouble finding documentation on the process to update.  The guide says all you need is admin access:  But I'm finding that not to be the case in multiple environments Any help would be greatly appreciated!      

Hey all - does anyone know the best practice to securitize the drill back functionality based on Entity (or other group) access?  My use case is that we have users who can see entire company financials (actuals and planning) but should not be able to drill back to the People Planning registers unless they meet a certain criteria (in a specific security group and have a specific entity group access).  Thanks for any assistance!

The SQLTableEditor in question is used for user interactive CRUD pertaining to Rates used in a calculation.Use Case:I have a SQLTableEditor that holds rates.  When the table Save button is clicked, A BR saves the rates and runs a calculation.  The results of the calculation are displayed in an adjacent dashboard containing a DataGrid.  The DataGrid needs to be refreshed after the Save button is clicked.Question:How do I configure the SQLTableEditor to refresh the adjacent dashboard on clicking the Save Button, in a way similar to configuring the "Save Action" of other components?  

Would a P&L account that had a balance in Period1 but was uploaded with a $0 balance in Period2 show as a $0 account in Period2 or the difference between P1 and P2 (a negative value)?

I would like additional information on the setting in Hybrid scenario for Use Input View for Adj in Calculations. This setting is currently set to True but some of adjustments booked in actuals are not flowing to the Hybrid scenario. However if this is set to False, the adjustments are reflected in Hybrid scenario.

Hello, I am working on a client that already had OneStream implemented.  I am now tasked with introducing additional functionality.  I am experiencing an issue I have not seen before.  When I am in the dimensions page, searching a dimension using the binocular function.  I can search the name and see all of the names pop up in a window.  I then am able to select one and when I click View in Hierarchy the wheel spins and spins, never taking me to the location of that member.  I did notice if I do those steps and the wheel starts spinning and I immediately close OneStream down and go back into the dimensions it opens up with that member I was searching showing on the screen.  So in this case it is faster for me to perform the search, exit, log back in and see the result.  Has anyone else experienced this?  And I have worked with clients that have much larger dimensions than the one I am searching on and have not experienced this. Thanks in adv
