OSAdmin If we have multiple OneStream Environments, is there any Market Place solution or a way we can compare Security (Users/Groups) between environments and then Synch up only those changes that are required to be migrated. Note: - We are aware of .xml extract and load, but a utility to perform the same would help and avoid any error related to security

Hi I am looking for a way to restructure a part of our UD1 hierarchy but there over 1,600 lines to move so I don't really want to copy and move them individually to their new locations. Is there a way to upload the new structure and overwrite the old one, or a faster way of copy/move the base levels. Thanks Simon

Hello,I am creating a cube view to be used in a Dashboard on an Workflow in order for a client to enter Quarterly Commentary.I am having two issues.1. When I set the time on the Explanation Workflow(Annotation) column to a Quarter, I receive green cells and cannot enter a comment. When I switch it to the quarter month, I have white cells and can enter a comment. I just want to confirm that this is normal functionality and that we cannot write comments to the quarter.2. The second issue is that I would like to write the comment to the BeforeAdj Origin member. I am able to do this when I have the Explanation (Annotation) column looking to one of my Forecast scenarios. When I switch the column to look at the Actual scenario (which is the scenario I want to be looking at) the cells turn green. In this case, they only turn white if I switch the Origin member to Import. I must have a setting somewhere that needs to be adjusted but I am having trouble locating it. Any insights would be greatl

Hi all, We are trying to import an excel report into powerpoint. This works fine. However, there is an issue with the borders that are appearing in the picture, as the picture does not seem to fill out the picture that is inside the powerpoint. Is there anything we can do to remove these borders in the picture? Please see an example: Named range in Excel: How it appears in the powerpoint picture (I highlighted the red) Ideally we would not have the white spaces in the picture. Any idea on which options could be used to stear this? With kind regards, Tim

How does one write a calculation where the result needs to land at an intersection that includes C#Elimination. Ideally, I'd want to have a function such as:     Public Sub Book(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal api As FinanceRulesApi, ByVal sourceCell As dataBufferCell, ByVal target As String, ByVal factor As Decimal)     And then call it as     Book(si,api,sourceCell,"U4#SOMECALC:C#Elimination",-0.3563523553)

I want to run a simple calculation setting one account equal to another.  Account A = Account B.  Account A, the account receiving the data in the calculation, is set to at the member level to YTD for No Data Zero View for NonAdjustments.  The account with the data is set to Periodic. The problem is when Account B has data for some months and then has a calculated 0 in later months.  The Account A with the YTD setting just replicates the last period's data in the months with 0 in Account B which causes the two accounts not to be equal.   I am using the following calculation. api.Data.Calculate("A#AccountA = A#AccountB" , True) How is this normally managed?

Hi all We have a process where we update dimensions and their children on a regular basis. This means we need to delete the relationships between parents and children and then reload the new updated dimensions...etc.  This takes a very long time, because we have a lot of dimensions.  Has anyone out here used a script to make this process faster, we we to not have to reload everthing, but only update the changes made to the different hierarchies? Thank you for any suggestions Nouria

I am trying to populate 30 months with depreciation. So if an asset value is 300,000 $, and it is to be depreciated to zero in 30 months,  that would mean that I have to fill each month with 10,000$. Seems like standard, simple BR that has already been written. Does anyone know where I can find sample BR code for straight line depreciation?

Do the OneStream Excel VBA functions return a value that can be used to determine success or failure?  For example, I am loading data to a cube using a sheet with a number of XFSetCell() formulas and then using the VBA function RefreshXFFunctionsForActiveWorksheet() in a module to load this data: Call ExecuteXFFunction("RefreshActiveSheetXF") ........ Public Sub ExecuteXFFunction(XFFunction As String) ' This executes whatever XF functions are defined on the active worksheet. The active worksheet needs to be set before calling this function Set xfAddIn = Application.COMAddIns("OneStreamExcelAddIn") If Not xfAddIn Is Nothing And Not xfAddIn.Object Is Nothing Then    Select Case XFFunction       Case "RefreshActiveSheetXF"                  Call xfAddIn.Object.RefreshXFFunctionsForActiveWorksheet      Case "RefreshActiveSheetQV"                Cal
