Hello,I am writing a SQL Query that references tables in different databases, one that exists in the External database (BI Blend) and one that exists in the Application database. I am having trouble setting up my data adapter to allow for pulling in both tables to perform a Union, as I need to specify the Database Location. Is this possible?

I am attempting to create a view in a dashboard for users to be able to see all metadata for each row with that value. Essentially I need to recreate the "Data Records" Report in the database.  I would prefer not to recreate it in SQL via a data adapter, instead use either a Cube View or a Quick view in Spreadsheet.  For the Cube View I can't seem to display more than 12 of the dimensions and would need 16 in the report (Cube and View aren't needed those can be in the POV). For the Quick View in Spreadsheet putting |!prm_Entity!|  returns "#ERROR - The member filter contains unresolved parameters" instead of providing some sort of dialogue box to select the member.  Any suggestions on how to get all dimensions into a Cube View or how to use parameters in the Member Selection in a Quick View would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

I'm building a cube view where I want to pull, in tree view, all descendants of a particular hierarchy but I also want to apply 2 where clauses:  Where the member is either a 'parent' OR where the member's description begins with certain letters. So my MF looks like this:  U4#MyHierarchy.TreeDescendantsInclusive.Where((HasChildren=True) or (Description Startswith FS)). To step back though, at this point, I can't even get the first part of that syntax to work on its own.  I keep getting unexpected text "HasChildren.....".  Doesn't seem to matter how I write this (with or without the 'where') per the OS documentation. I'm just wondering if anyone has successfully used this and perhaps provide a working example so I can figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hello,I'm trying a Derivative Rule where I've one source target account which needs to be mapped to an another account and combination of attributes, the idea is it should create new row for each account attribute, but as I'm using multiple attribute values at once it throwing me an error Please let me know what I'm missing out or what I'm doing wrong from the below expression.A#[56000]=[ABC]:A1#[ACC-*;FTM-*;BTSRR-*;BPR-*;BSC*;CON-*]

Hello,  I recently had help modifying a rule so it would only run once for a multi year scenario, now I am having an issue trying to run the rule on other scenarios.  How would I tell this rule to ignore the time condition for the budget scenario.  The data management job set up on the workflow profile won't currently run due to line of code added: ' NEW CHECK TO ONLY RUN ON THE START YEAR OF WF RANGE TIME.  If I remove it, then the calculation doesn't work for my forecast scenario properly.  I basically somehow need to tell it to ignore that line for the budget scenario.    Below is the full code.  Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As DataQualityEventHandlerArgs) As Object Try 'Define a switch to control event processing, since many of these are reference examples we do not want them to run all the time Dim processEvents As Boolean = False 'Set the default re

Hi everybody, I would like to schedule an automatic extract of the security (users/groups/roles) I plan to use a data management job and a BR but I cannot find the syntax of the rule. The code "applicationZipFileHelper" does not extract the security, only the application. Thank you for your help  

I am attempting to update the "text" property (which varies by time) for my UD1 members using a business rule that pulls data from a custom table. The update process works as expected without any issues. However, when I remove a data value from the table, OneStream removes the value from the text property, but the corresponding period remains selected, showing blanks (see Screenshot 2). I am removing the data value using the "Else" condition as shown below (Screenshot 1).Can anyone provide insights on how to also remove the period from the selection when there is no value?

Hi, I have an admin Workflow Profile where I have children steps that are different dashboards. I would prefer not to create these as Forms steps as I want to certify each step and not every Form. I have system default settings to set this as Profile Active True/False. Is it possible somehow to change so this is only Active for months which are not a quarter?  I want to remove this from the Workflow Profile in quarter months to avoid and eliminate the risk of someone using this dashboard in a quarter.

Hi All, I am designing a new app with huge data set at detailed level and need time at weeks level. I would like to know if going by custom profile with time dimension at weeks level would be more efficient or having time dimension at month level and using WEEKS in User defined dimension would be better in the performance. It would be great if you can share some pros and cons for both the approaches and which one would be optimistic. Thanks in advance.   

From a button-click, I want to open a different Dashboard, in a new tab (or just open it). It should be fairly straight forward, using: But if the Dashboard I want to open is not within the "Default" workspace, OR, if the Workspace that is hosting the Dashboard is not set to: the function does not work. Smart as I am, it should only be a matter of minutes to figure out the right combination, hereby prefixing the dashboard name with the Workspace name: XFPage=Dashboard:Current.MyDashboardName. But nope. Hopefully someone out there have the right combination to unlock level 2 to the Dashboarding Tour de Master. Cheers Frank

Hi all, We have a CV that we want to suppress based on V#Footnote values but the suppression seems to ignore this column and only suppress based on number values. Is that true? Is there any workaround or any way to have OS recognize text as a value to base the suppression on? Any info would be helpful! Thanks!

Hello, colleagues, Could you please advise am I right that when I create new user in OneStream application (and indicate his e-mail address in user profile), this user will not receive automatic e-mail notification about this?

There are data management tasks scheduled, they are designed to extract OneStream data and load to external database. Some failed with below error messages, but they succeeded later on. Just wondering what could be the possible causes, I would appreciate if anyone could help me understand                

Hello, everyone, I created book in OneStream, which includes several cube views, and open this book in Excel OneStream Add-in. Could you please advise can I change some parameters in this book, for example Time member, and refresh all cube views in this book in order to received updated figures based on new parameter? Or it's not possible, because books which I open in Excel OneStream Add-in, contains only values and if I want to update reports via Excel OneStream Add-in I need to create quick views in Excel OneStream Add-in?  

It does not appear that Cube View Extender Rules can be applied to Excel output. Can someone confirm this or provide an example if you have gotten this to work? Thanks!

Hi AllWe are using 8.4 at our new client and have been tasked with creating dashboards suitable to view on a tablet, web, windows app and phone.We have created different dashboards for each of the different devices, i.e. tablet, phone, windows app and web but have noted that for example, the phone dashboard formatting shows differently on each phone, depending on the phone screen size and it does not auto adjust to fit the screen size of every phone.Same as for tablet, web and windowsApp. Where can I get settings for auto fit on each device so that it shows uniformly on each device regardless of screen size? 

Dear User Community: My users have asked me what is the major difference between version 8.4 and soon to be released 8.5. Does anyone have an answer?  Has anyone been part of the beta groups (guessing they have them)? Love to hear because we need to know if we should wait for 8.5. Thanks,SP
