Hi, I have a SQL table with a decimal column that allows nulls, and I want to differentiate between an actual 0 and a null value.I seem unable to configure the SQL Table Editor in a way that enables me to save a null value. When I press Insert new row, it defaults to an amount of 0.0, instead of null. I am aware that I can do a dashboard extender and override the save operation but in this case the column value could be either 0 or null and I wouldn't know how to differentiate between the two. Any ideas? 

Data Mgmt sequence and steps work great when utilizing a 'manual' initiation of this process and business rule. However, the DM process automatically initiates twice daily at specific times using the same code and rules. When this occurs, it fails on occasion (not always), and this error message is received: Summary: Error processing Data Management Step 'ProcessRecons_RCM'. Unable to execute Business Rule 'RCM_DataMgmtProcess'. One or more errors occurred. () Concurrency violation: the UpdateCommand affected 0 of the expected 1 records. This is the business rule in use... asking if anyone can spot an obvious issue I have overlooked or might know the cause of the failed task on occasion. Business Rule: Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As ExtenderArgs) As Object Try Select Case args.FunctionType Case Is = ExtenderFunctionType.ExecuteDataMgmtBusinessRuleStep 'Prepare Parameters Dim wfProfile As String = args.Na

Hi,We successfully imported data from stage to cube. But while creating cube views, I am getting fewer records. Not all data is showing up in cube view. I checked the tables in the database; they have all the lines, but the cube view is importing only the first line. What can I do to get all the lines calculated in Cubeview?This account has 1343 records but cubeView fetches only 1st line.

When I use a formula to set-up the time member, the XFGETCELL formula that refers to this time member is stuck in #REFRESH. The weird thing is, if I go in the XFGETCELL formula and hit enter without changing anything, when I refresh the sheet it works and gets a value, but next time I close excel, re-open, re-connect and refresh it's stuck once again in #REFRESH. If I hardcode the time I don't have this issue, or if I concatenate to a hardcoded number, it also works. As an example I have a list of 12 rows with numbers across 30 or so columns and a total at the end. The rows represents each month, so to get the last current month with numbers I use a formula (example countif) on the total column and then concatenate this to the year, so if I have data until October, I would get 10, so the formula returns 2021M10 for the current year and 2020M10 for the prior year. Is this an issue with the add-in itself where it is confused on the order the excel formulas are being calculated?

Have a question regarding- " if two import workflow profiles are not siblings of the same input parent, but load to the same entity, scenario and time dimensions, the data loads and clears at the account level. " If the two import profiles are not sibling to the same input parent (like it is not sibling 1 and sibling 2) , how can we load to the same entity? Since, entity assignment is done at a parent input profile level, If 1 entity is assigned to parent 1 input profile, we cannot assign the same entity to parent profile 2  

Hi All, Is there a maximum with regard to the datasources used in the BI viewer. I am not able to add more then 3 datasources? I currently use 3 cubeview MD    

  Hi, All -  I’ve developed a dashboard that includes a text box, parameter components, and other elements. Users can input a date and click a trigger button to fetch the data, using inbound parameters in the data adapter. The dashboard is supposed to default to a date value upon loading, but it’s not pulling the expected default from the parameter. Ideally, the dashboard should open without any issues, but instead, it’s throwing the following SQL error: "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string. (SQL Error Number -2146232060, 241)" Currently, the dashboard is not opening and displays the error above. The data adapter field value format for date is as shown below. I’ve tried various options for setting the default value in the dashboard parameter, but the issue persists.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions. thank you !        

Hi all,just finished to see the "Mining for Gold: SQL Parametrization", very informative episode. At the end, Chris Loran explained how to leverage on caching system offered by "globals", to avoid multiple executions of the same query against the DB. I do have a couple of questions about globals, to better understand how they work:Is globals object exclusively dedicated to caching data ? (AFAIK: Yes, it is)I haven't found a "duration" of the stored key: it's me or it doesn't exists ? I mean, once I put something in the globals, when it will be invalidated ? (AFAIK: No timed duration of the cached value)Deleting keys: looks like I can only delete ALL keys, not specific keys. Am I right ? (AFAIK: I am right)I already added answers to my questions, thanks in advance for those who will confirm (or not) them.FabioG

Hello, We are looking to export data from OneStream to Snowflake using APIs. We are using OneStream's cloud hosted environment, and the authentication method is just a Reference Token. We are looking for more secured way for sending the data from OneStream to Snowflake. Let us know if there are any suggestions or alternatives for this data integration with more secured way of authentication. Thanks, Tharun.

Hi,  I am just wondering, is this a limitation of OneStream? Does the column member filter support only two levels? Are we unable to add additional levels beyond this? Thank you to those who will share their inputs.  

The dashboard visibility is set to "Always" and the security access group is set to "everyone". If I select the dashboard in Oneplace to open, it brings me this error. Could this be related to the workflow not being set accordingly (permissions, data, etc)?  

I am trying to build a cubeview to enter yearly rates in cubeview for forecast scenario. Is there any way I can do that? Idea is to enter rates during budget and use to for all forecast months instead of loading by periods.  

 Hello, has anyone come across this message using Report Viewer? The export function is not an option when selecting the "View Report" icon. 

I am running into an issue with putting together intercompany reports. Basically, if an entity has an intercompany partner that is not a consolidating entity, no elimination would occur at the parent (as expected). However, this pair would still show up on my IC matching report. Has anyone dealt with this type of issue with the IC reporting and has any tips to put me in the right direction?

Hi Everyone. The issue is that I want to run the following Process, but upon execution, I receive the error shown below the code. I do not understand this error because a WFProfile is correctly sent in wfChildClusterPK, specifically 'PLP ARGENTINA.Export to Cube'. This Workflow does have an assigned entity, so I do not see what could be causing the error in this process. Dim pcProcessInfo As ProcessCubeProcessInfo = BRApi.DataQuality.Process.ExecuteProcessCube(si, wfChildClusterPk, StepClassificationTypes.ProcessCube, False) ' Summary: Business Rule error. DataQualityEventHandler. Unable to execute Business Rule 'DataQualityEventHandler'. Error processing Data Management Step 'CLEAR_PLP_WF'. Invalid parameter. Entity Filter, E#Root.WFProfileEntities. I am executing this process in another WFProfile because I want to create a complete workflow for everyone. However, the current process is the one causing this error.

We are on OS v7.4 and moving over to OS v8.5. We have both versions up and running as we move over. While running QVs using the Spreadsheet module within the app and setting the Data Style to "Comma [0]" in both, it appears correctly in v7.4 with negative numbers displaying as (100) but in v8.5 it shows as -100. Same thing if we pick "Currency [0]". (see screenshots below) Is there a chance that the default style didn't make it into OS v8? OR, is there a place/menu to modify this default style without creating a Custom style? We noticed this happening in version 8.4 as well, but we upgraded to 8.5 and it is still having this issue. Thanks!Currency [0] 

Hi Our YE reporting pack is based on a book which retrieves a Word document (table of contents etc.) followed by a number of CVs (financials). The page references in the table of contents is static. I would like to Supress Zeros in all the CV, which would place the CVs on different pages, depending on which entity runs the book. Therefore, I would like to explore if there is a way to use dynamic page references, e.g. by putting a reference to which page a certain CV would be placed. For reference, we are currently on v7.3 but upgrading to v8.5 within long. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am new to building cubes in OS, I am attempting to build a calculated column based on data from two other columns, I have created a nested member which correctly brings in all the data. When I attempt do use GetDataCell I return errors that it cannot find my named Column. In the screenshot you can see the member filters (highlighted are the same rows) Here you can see the output when I run the cube view. Please let me know if I cannot reference in this way and how I may solve the problem

I would like to know more about this workaround. In our company, some users utilize the PDF view option to send their reports, not only within the company but also for SOX controls. Therefore, it is important for us to continue using the PDF view in OneStream 7.4v. Questions: Does this workaround impact only dashboards, or does it also affect Cube View reports? We have only been given the option to remove PDF. Is there a possibility of an upgrade to continue using PDF?   Thank you! Laura

Hello, I wonder if there are customers who use the OneStream solution "Security Audit Reports" in a non self hosted environment? We use OneStream as SaaS customers and we need to audit the security settings. Setup instructions for "Security Audit Reports" are written for self hosted environments. Furthermore I wonder, if anyone uses "Security Audit Reports" in production directly as it is very inconvenient to have this solution running in Dev (and for SaaS customers, there is no Dev environment available by standard). RegardsMartin

Hello, I am facing a problem in making dynamic names for BI-viewer. I have a data adapter with Command type as Cube view. I am using this adapter in BI-viewer. I want to make the column names similar in cube view.  For example, in my scenario I have columns changing according to the time.  but here it will show as Col0Value, Col1Value. As per cube view headers, Col0 is 2024M1 and Col1 is 2024M2 and this will change according to time updated for next periods. It will not be same every time. How to get the same names as per cube view into BI-viewer column list.
