Hi Community, Does anyone have experience with integration between OneStream and Microsoft Fabric? Please share your comments and a potential connect.  Thanks  Rajnish

We're trying to reduce the size of a large table in OS (about 650GB). Our initial idea was to copy the rows to a new table and then rename it, but the insert process takes too long due to the size and ends up timing out. Deleting records from the table itself seems risky and take's similar duration.  Has anyone dealt with something similar? Would appreciate any tips or suggestions for a faster and more efficient approach. Thank you! 

Hello OneStream Community, For our upcoming budget cycle, we want to create an inputsheet where the Time dimension is displayed in columns, with each month (January through December) as a separate column. Our current data sources are configured with the time dimension in rows, and I'm struggling to set up the data source to handle a matrix layout. I've tried using data transformations and source dimensions, but I haven't been able to make it work. Has anyone dealt with a similar scenario and can provide a clear method for configuring the data source and mappings correctly? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Jasper

The below code returns the Plug Account name for an Account, taken from the Plug Account property on the AccountIt is a DynamicCalc on UD8. Set up a U8 member, f.ex. "YourName"  Api.Account.GetPlugAccount returns a long string that contains the Plug Account Name For each Account that has a Plug Account, the string will contain "DimId: 22", so this can be used as filter.The Plug Account name will be stated directly after "Name: ", so this can be extracted from the string. In the below example, "NA" is returned where there is no Plug Account. The Plug Account Name will be shown when using V#Annotation:U8#YourName on Accounts ---------------------------------------------- Dim AccPlugAccName As String = "" ' Fetch the Plug Account propertyDim fetchedValue As String = Api.Account.GetPlugAccount(Api.Pov.Account.MemberId)?.ToString() ' Check if the fetched string is not null/empty and contains "DimId: 22"If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(fetchedValue) AndAlso fetchedValue.Contains("DimId: 22")

I've read somewhere that there is a Postman collection for the Rest API.  I am just getting started with it and was hoping someone had one already set up. Thanks,Scott

Hi,I have installed the solution 'Application reports' in my application.I have added the report WF_ImportDetail_AccountMapping_RPTAR to my workflow by using a form template. When I click on the report in the workflow i am getting a pop-up screen for a parameter. The report should automatically use WF Profile, WF Scenaro en WF time. How do I set that up? John  

My colleagues in OneStream, have you seen this error before? Since this is the first time I’ve come across it in a standard load scenario with everything else validating, I thought I’d share here to compare notes. Any insights on what could be “behind” this error in practice would be really helpful for building a knowledge base around less common OneStream load errors.While running a data load in OneStream, I encountered an "Invalid Cube Name" error. What made this surprising is that all the usual suspects checked out fine:Workflow setup was validated.Data sources were reviewed.Transformation rules were checked.Rules on members who call cubes were also confirmed.Cube mappings looked correct.Despite all of these checks, the error still occurred.This message is unusual because it doesn’t typically appear if the metadata, cube structure, or mappings are aligned. In most cases, it points to something deeper in how OneStream is resolving the cube context for the workflow profile or the enti

8.5 environment, on prem.My understanding is that if I want read only access for users to Ancillary Tables I need to use the config utility and set Access Group for Ancillary Tables to a user group that would be different than Maintenance Group or Table Creation Group.      I did this and my users in the group assigned to Access Group are able to edit ancillary tables.Then I found this documentation that implies that Access Group gives edit rights to ancillary tables.  Does anyone have a definitive answer on this or know how to setup read only access to ancillary tables? 

Hey everyone, In Task Manager, I was wondering if we could set duration longer than 30 days? As of now, the only max option for a task is 30 days. Can it not be any more or extended? Any feedback or suggestion is welcomed. Thank you.

I have a dashboard that I want to run whenever I log into the desktop app, and it works just as expected, but it tries to run in the web browser UX and does not work right. How can I disable the dashboard from running in UX, but stay running for the desktop app? 

I have my task manager set up by Weeks: Therefore, I've been using Frequency ranges as 1-52 or 1,2,3 etc. as from the Task Manager guide. Let's say I want to make only 1 task group start on W1-W3. I input that into the task group and individual tasks but still it doesn't show up. However, if I don't put any frequency range, it shows up for all weeks I publish. I just want it to show up for 1 week. BCA #1 doesn't show up at all in any charts but BCA #2 shows up in all weeks published. I've also set up my Close Dates but it still doesn't work:  Any pointers or tips?Thank you

Hello Team,I am unable to open the OneStream application and getting "Application cannot be started" error after downloads.Expecting solution as soon as possible.Thank you.Regards, Praveen

Hello Team, I'm experiencing performance challenges with a CubeView that contains: 4 row dimensions (all using .base members) Multiple time period columns Dynamic calculations that are causing significant retrieval delays Current Challenge: The CubeView needs to be executed and its data exported externally, but the dynamic calculations are making the retrieval process extremely time-consuming. Attempted Solution: I've already tried converting the dynamic calculations to stored values using finance rules, but this approach has proven ineffective - it's still taking excessive time and not producing the desired results. Request: Could you suggest any alternative approaches or optimization strategies to improve the performance of this data retrieval and export process? Thank you for your assistance.

Is it possible to do a live character count using a text box and label component inside of a business rule that counts characters as they are being typed into a text box component that is used in a dashboard? The contents of this text are written to a relational table but as for the character count, I want to do that live BEFORE I write the contents to a relational table. This is on an 8.4 application.

Hi Team, I am trying to build  a Stored calc. My account type is "Revenue" & Formula type is "Formula Pass 11". Here, if i give full combination (All Dimensions) data is sending from  Source to designation. and one more thing if i give any variables Data is not sending  from source to Destination. can you please help us how to make the calc as dynamic since i am giving all combinations.

Hi there,We've developed rules that works properly in actuals with monthly frequency. Is there a way to use the same rules in other frequencies? I tried to link them to a budget scenario with yearly tracking frequency (Scenario property), but they are applied at the end of the year (for instance 2022) instead of each month. This behavior is kept even after changing to Monthly frequency, or "Member Filter" using "T#|WFYear|.Base". Is there a filter on the time from the WF itself?Ideally, we'd like to keep the actuals conf rules as they are.Thank you for the help.Regards

Hey Team, I’ve observed that users are currently able to load data via Excel/Spreadsheet tools (Quick View / XFset) beyond the defined Workflow Time Period range for any scenario. This behavior persists even after setting the following Application General Properties to False: Allow Loads Before Workflow View Year Allow Loads After Workflow View Year Despite these settings, the restriction does not seem to be enforced, and users can still submit data outside the intended time range. Could you please advise if there are additional configurations or security settings required to fully restrict data loads outside the Workflow Time Period—especially when using Excel-based tools? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Best regards,Yogesh Kumar Goyal

Hi, We have a seeding rule that is copying zeros: sourceActualsBuffer = api.Data.GetDataBuffer(DataApiScriptMethodType.Calculate,S#Actual_Opco:U5#None,False, destinationBuffer)   I am trying to change it so it does not include zeros, by applying the removezeros function: sourceActualsBuffer = api.Data.GetDataBuffer(DataApiScriptMethodType.Calculate,"RemoveZeros(S#Actual_Opco:U5#None)",False, destinationBuffer)   When I do this, I get an error see attachmement. I tried to change the quotes RemoveZeros("S#Actual_Opco:U5#None") but then i get a different error when validating.    Could not find anything in the reference on how to fix this. Anybody can help?  

Has anybody been able to create a database connection to the QAD ledger system to import data to OneStream?  We are having a nasty time getting SQL to pull from it.

We're transitioning to TCPS - Port 2484 from TCP - Port 1521. I have no issues connecting via TCP, but have issues connecting via TCPS. Does OneStream support TCPS connectivity? Can't locate any documentation about this.

Hi team,I'm trying to export data using a Data Management step with view filters. When I specify the view as V#Periodic,V#YTD, only V#Periodic data records is being extracted. If I reverse the order to V#YTD,V#Periodic, then only V#YTD data records get extracted.Has anyone faced this issue or knows how to correctly extract data with View dimension filters?Thanks in advance! 🙂
