Happy Feb! how do I sync Prod with DEV ? We made a lot of changes to DEV over the past 5 months - but didn't upload all of our changes.  We are thinking of exporting a complete extract of metadata, Cubeviews, dashboards, datamanagement, DataSources to xml from DEV - then delete all metadata, Cubeviews, dashboards, datamanagement, DataSources before uploading our extract to PROD?  Both servers are in different physical locations and therefore have different firewalls. Is there an article regarding life-cycle management for OneStream ?  

I have a business rule that requires referencing aggregated divisional (entity) data several times over the course of the rule.  Base level entities run their rules and at a point in the rule, the entity needs the aggregated divisional result and so a consolidation to division. Can the data management jobs for consolidation have the consolidation filter set to C#Aggregated and the rule get the correct aggregated divisional numbers from the consolidation?  Or, is C#Aggregated only for data reporting?  Does the rule POV need to use C#aggregated when referencing divisional entity data or can this left out of the rule?  I have run some tests and the answer seems to be yes, DM jobs with C#aggretated produce data that can be referenced in rules and no, the rule does not need C#aggregated in its divisional entity POV.  Can anyone comment on this more?  Thanks.

We have a requirement for ALL users that log in, to acknowledge a set of system messages before gaining access to the application.  Other off the shelf applications have this capability built-in.  If it does not exist in OneStream, would the best approach be to create a dashboard and make that the home page for all users?

Hi, how many periods can be loaded and validated at once?  I have the need to load 360 periods, but I seem to be getting timed out. thanks,Greg 

Hello, Is it possible to modify datamanagement job description on the fly ? We want adding more info for monitoring issues.  

Hi all, I created a workflow Import profile with the Workspace/Import/Validate/Load steps. Inside the Workspace step, I added a Dashboard that has a button, which, in turn, has an Extensible BR that executes the following:Downloads a file from an external source and leaves it in the file ShareAfter that, this file is imported with the Import step through a Dashboard Extender BR called from the same Extensible Rule, which Imports, Validates and Loads the same workflow profile.I would like to see the Taskbar progress and also to automatically refresh the workflow profile status:If the button launches the Extensible Rule, I see the Taskbar progress but the workflow status is not automatically refreshed.If the button launches the Dashboard Extender BR, the workflow is automatically refreshed but the Taskbar progress is not shown.Could we have both functionality? Have you seen it before? If yes, could anyone send me an example of the code us

Hello, I have a Book in OneStream that generates the following: The book generates the following excel with data in each tab (without the index tab), I add the index tab manually with the Hyperlink code   In the Index tab, I have manually created a code to put some hyperlinks from the Excel frame.     I would like to know if it is possible when generating the Book from OneStream I can create a code so that the Hyperlinks are made at the same time that OneStream generates the Excel from the Book and not manually create a macro from Excel after generating the books.   Thank you a lot team

Hi all, We have a requirement to run IC Matching report including journal that may have been posted as parent adjustment. In this way we are also excluding form IC MAtching deconsolidated entities and considering the amount based on the consolidation % as well as not considering equity method entities.  This should mean running IC MAtching report specifying Parent/Entity relationship in C#Elimination.O#Elimination, compared to the default setting which poitn to C#Local or any other currency. is there a way to run an ICMAtching report or having a data adpater which pulls data, from a consolidation different than local?

Hello,   I'm trying to format No Data cells as dashes on some cube views. Currently, the number format for the cube view is as follows: [#,##0;(#,##0);-]. This is formats zeros as dashes, but not No Data cells. Is anyone aware of a special formatting to change No Data cells?

Is there something that can be used as a wildcard in OS? I have multiple accounts like 524000, 564000, 544000, etc. can I just plug something into the X for a wild card get all those accounts? "5X4034"

Hello, We have a use case that makes extensive use of dashboards. The BI viewer component seems like an attractive solution for this. However, we have been struggling to fully adapt it to our needs. One problem is the (seemingly) fixed font size for table content and axes. A particularly surprising effect is that there is no change in font size when maximizing a specific component. This could be a very smart feature, e.g. during a beamer presentation. Unfortunately it only increases the white spaces, while the fonts are identical. This seems almost like a bug - or am I missing something? (screenshots are original scale!) Thanks, Frank.  

Hello,We need to create bulk users to perform stress test.We tried to use the suggested solution in the post Solved: Re: Issue with bulk native user creation using internal authentication. - OneStream Community (onestreamsoftware.com), by removing the line <encryptedPassword> in the XML file, in order to have the default password, without success.We would like to provide directly a different password to each user (even if he will have to change it afterwards).What are the best practices to perform it ?Thanks,Regards,Harry 

Hello, we are 'suddenly' seeing an increase in the time for a matrix data source import to complete the validate intersections step.  It has gone from 5 minutes to over 2.5 hours to complete one step during the import step of the workflow.  The subsequent cube load takes another 2+ hours of time once the validation step completes (for a total execution time now over 5 hours).We have backed out all changes since the previous execution that completed in 5 minutes with no change to the time.  We currently are not suppressing zeros on the data source, however even with that enabled in our QA instance, the time to complete the validate intersections step is still much longer than 5 minutes (40+ minutes).Any suggestions on what else we can check?  We are currently on platform version 7.0.1. 

I am trying to pull the value of a parameter, =XFGetDashboardParameterValue("SourceScenario","Test") but it just shows the default value I put in.  I've tried every variation for the parameter name I can think of but only get the default value.  Anyone have this working? 

Hi All, I am facing an interesting issue (or a bug). Requirement: Capturing comments using a text box (linked with a literal parameter) and save it as annotation text so that it can be pulled in CV reports as well.  Using literal parameter as I set it to stored comment using the BR when click on a cell in CV. I have a save button to save the comment if they want to change it and save it. when they save reading this text input in the textbox. so same textbox is used to display and write. I am passing this text as [|!Param!|] to rule. whole setup work great but found an issue when there is a unbalanced "[" or "]" then it throws this error.  Error: Invalid comma separated values. Unmatched brackets wondering if anyone seen this or have a workaround to handle this? appreciate any help.    

Hello All, We have a requirement to make some text display dynamically showing or not based on whether the entity member selected in a combo box is a base member or a parent. In my XFBR, I found this function that would give me this information but when I set it up, it returns me false, whereas in some cases, the entity selected had children (so is a parent). "Dim IsParent As Boolean = BRApi.Finance.Entity.HasChildren(si, EntitydimPk, SelectedEntityID, Nothing)" Could you let me know where my function's set up could be wrong or also if you would propose to use an other solution to achieve this requirement ? Thank you

Is it possible to create a popup msg in a DM business rule like the msg below (created when 'Complete' is clicked).  The Load button calls a DB business Rule and I need to first check if WF channel is locked or not.  If locked I'd like to notify the user that the channel is locked and the BR is running    

When OS call an authentification API, OS use the IMPLICIT parameter. This parameter is deprecated since 2 years. When are you going to update these calls with the new standards?

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had experience adding cultures to an applicaiton after go-live. Considering this is a system wide change its difficult to test without applying across all applications. I'm wondering if the statement in the attached screenshot "impact overall environment or application performance" would be applicable to adding new cultures.  Looking forward to hearing from you all. Cheers!

Hi All,I have been trying to understand the process to setup On-Prem Oracle DB connection in OneStream Cloud to export data from cube. Is there a document that you guys can point to? The doc I found didn't help much as it seems it is for On-Prem OneStream version. Thanks in advance,Mikki
