Can I execute an sql statement against a data table created in a business rule?  I created a table to use in a data set business rule, which returns data to the data adapter.    e.g. if I created dt1 using : Dim dt1 As DataTable = BRApi.Database.ExecuteSql(dbConnApp, strSQL.ToString, True) Can I run a query against dt1, doing something like "select * from dt1" or in other words can I get the tablename for dt1 and then execute a query?

Hi Team, We have 2 similar processes under one member in workflow. I need to lock process A, when B is completed. Could you please advise what method to use?  Many thanks!

New to OS and I have requirement to automate fx rates in OS. Is it possible? We have FX repository in Oracle so, thinking to pull from there but not sure how can we load to central FX repository.    

When I have a BR, and need to pull in a parameter, I use the following statement or one similar, I create the parameter in a Dashboard. 'Dim scenario As String = BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.GetLiteralParameterValue(si, False, "Forecast_Scenario") How do you bring a parameter into SQL ?  I tried the above and it doesn't work.  I would like to set a parameter such as date, and then bring the parameter inside SQL, the same way I do as a BR. Thanks for your help in advance. Tom

When loading data into OneStream, our longest workflow takes ~40 minutes to load. We would like to try to kick off the 5 direct connect loads within this workflow to start simultaneously instead of sequentially. Have any of you organized your loads similarly and do you have tips or recommendations please?

Hi, since I am used to set many of the programs I use during my working day to dark mode, I was wondering if it is possible to turn the dark mode on for OneStream, and if that's not possible, is it something OneStream plans to introduce in future? Thank you

I tested the following SQL in a data adapter, accessing a external table Select * FROM Table WHERE "Cost Center" = 'CC_11111111' ; Data returned here, data adapter worked fine. I am using a Business Rule, and can’t seem to get the BR to work if there is a space in the field name of the external table. '****WORKS****getExternalDataSql.AppendLine("Select * from TABLE Where PC = 'XXXX' " ) *****Error*****getExternalDataSql.AppendLine("Select * from TABLE Where [Cost Center] = 'CC_XXXXXXXX' " ) I have tried every combination single quote, quotes, brackets on the Cost Center field. Question: Will an external query work in a BR, where the table has spaces in the names ? Any help or advice will be appreciated.  Thanks  Tom

When we attach a file to a Reconciliation, where is the file stored and how is it stored?  It it stored in the application database as a BLOB or on the application server in the file system?  Is it encrypted?

  Hello, I have created a "Data Copy" "Data Management Step" which copies base level entity data from one scenario to another. I am copying import, forms, and journals.  When I run the step I am receiving the following error: "Error processing Data Management Step 'DM Step Name'. Error processing Data Management Step 'DM Step Name'. Journal 'Journal Name' contains line items for entity 'Entity Name' which is not currently being processed." I reviewed the source journal entry and ensured that it was posted and that the entity calculation status was "OK". This error is only occuring in one period as well works fine when I copy other periods. When I review the journals in both periods they are identifcal other than the amounts.  Has anyone else come across this before?  Thank you!

This is a follow-up to my prior post about Parcel Service. Converted my excel worksheet to CV's and imbedded them in a Book.  That works great and I can pass parameters and burst without any issues.  In the Admin guide under the Book section it talks about adding a Report.  I added 4 Reports with Report Type = 'Dashboard Report' and 'Dashboard Chart' and selected the related Component Name.  There were two - One listed as a 'Large Data Pivot Grid' and one listed as 'Spreadsheet'.  When running the book, nothing gets created in the Excel workbook generated for these 4 new members. I thought I saw somewhere that you could use a book to generate output from a Table.  In the above, the spreadsheet has a 'Table View' imbedded that works fine in Excel or in the Dashboard.  The Large Data Pivot Grid also works in the Dashboard. Is my issue that it does not work with anything that is imbedded in Excel.  In writing this I went back and linked the Report t

Hello, I'm trying to sum up a calculated amount using Row Column Intersection and I cannot get it to work properly. I'm using Rows Override in order to sum up these calculated amounts (also using row override). So the Input Inventory Amount, I put some dummy info in and the calculated reserves are taking those amounts and multiplying it by those percentages (name override as UD8#None). So the amount in LC column should be 265LC, but I cannot get it to populate. Below is my row override formula. I've tried putting a row range but it comes up with an error message of Invalid calculation script. I don't want to make a new UD8, because I don't really know how to do that, so if it can be done with a CVRC, or a different formula, that would be great! Thanks, Will

Hi everyone, Thanks in advance for helping. I am new to tree views and trying to get a simple hierarchy (from the account dimension) to show as a tree view. Part of the structure is shown in the screenshot below: I'm using the following Dashboard Data Set Business Rule that I run using a data adapter linked to my tree view: If args.DataSetName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("TreeView") 'Declare the account dimPK Dim DimPk As DimPk = BRApi.Finance.Dim.GetDimPk(si, "actAccount") 'Declare the parent ID + member Dim parentMbrId As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, dimTypeId.Account, "CF_000000") Dim parentMbr As Member = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMember(si, dimTypeId.Account, parentMbrId) 'Declare the child list of the parent Dim childList As List(Of Member) = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetChildren(si, DimPk, ParentMbrId) 'Dim the new XFTreeItem List + properties Dim treeChildren As New List(Of XFTreeItem) Dim textColour As String = XFColors.Black.Name Dim imageSource As String = X

Relatively new to OS and trying to figure out what may be preventing me from pulling newly imported budget data into an excel report via XFGetCell. I've verified the data exists in OS using the dashboards.  Now I'm trying to compare the data from the Actual Scenario with the Budget data in Excel.  I'm able to pull the actual data without issue.  The Budget data, however is coming through as $0.  To troubleshoot I change just the scenario parameter in the formula from Budget to Actual and the Actual data pulls as expected.  So, I believe there must be a step I'm missing in the import to push it to wherever it gets grabbed by the GetCell formula. Hoping someone out there has an idea. TIA

Hi Community,I was looking in SIC guide and over the community but I dont see find a simple question.- If we can have two SIC (Gateway Server) install into the same server that each will be point to different environment (e.g. one for Dev and one for Production different environment).Not sure if anyone has done that type of configuration or it might not be possible because of port conflicting?Thank you

Is there a way to format excel cell's = 0.000 when exported? It is possible with Cube View formatting if NumberFormat = N4, but I cannot figure out a way to format it the same when exporting the CV to excel. Any information is appreciated, thanks!

Looking for some advice on the best way to incorporate a background image on a dashboard. Say for example you want to have a nice Splash screen that has a nice background image that fills the whole dashboard. Layered on top of that dashboard could be a label and a few buttons taking user to other dashboards. I can see its possible to add background color to a dashboard in formatting settings but not an image

I am wondering if anyone has changed the precision of the FxRate?  It shouldn't be to hard.  What I am wondering is if changing it would cause other issues ?  

Can anyone share brapi command to fetch the Workflow's Hierarchy Level in the Business Rule?    

The users would like to see Time member Descriptions whenever bringing up a Member Selection window (e.g. when creating Cube Views or Quick Views). This issue appears to be specific to the Time Dimension itself, where any other Dimension will provide the Name and Description, Time only displays Name. Is this a setting within OneStream somewhere that can be changed?

OneStream Release Notes.  There is a release note saying that in 8.2 you can embed refreshable content allowing users to edit and narrate a document for the purpose of inserting content in a published report. Where would I find more information about that please? Thanks very much.

Hi All Here is an example of the problem I am running into. Previously we had an entity called ABC, the hierarchy looked like this, ABC I was asked to create a hedge and a new parent entity. So it now looks like this Total_ABC      ABC      ABC_HEDGE My problem is when I am trying to pull "Total_ABC" to validate, "ABC" and ABC_HEDGE" are not rolling up to "Total_ABC".   I have already ran a force consolidation to try to resolve this problem.   Thanks!  

I have a data adapter that calls a BR that calls one of the IC methods (I thinned it down here) but what I run the data adapter I get the error that the datatable already belongs to another dataset.  Any help on what that means and how to resolve?

Hi  I would like to know if there is any settings or how would you deal with a cube view which has a member filter and in there a calculation for example F#None:UD4#AA5EX32011:Name(Cents):GetDataCell((Divide(CVC(Col1), CVC(Col3))*100). The user then exports the cube view to excel and converts each cell to an XFGetCells. See Screenshot 1. Once this is done the columns with the above formula return errors due to the calculation in that members. See Screenshot 2     Any advice or settings or best practice on how to deal with this? Regards Rehaan  

Hi  I need to add two base member accounts in the member filter of a cube view. Would this be the correct syntax: A#Account1, A#Account2. Or do you need to add a plus sign between them? Regards  

As the subject line says I am trying to extract a Maintenance unit using a business rule.  We are on 8.1.0.  Below is the code I am using.  I have tried to use MetadataExtract.ExtractXML and XmlExtractContoller.ExtractXML, but I don't get what I am looking for.  It ends up dumping everything into the XML file. The name of the Maintenance Unit in this case is Integrations.  Can anyone see what I am doing wrong, or is there another Method I should be using?   ' Extract options Dim xmlOptions As New XmlExtractOptions ' extract all items xmlOptions.ExtractAllItems = False ' extract specified items Dim extractDict As New Dictionary(Of XmlExtractItemPk, Boolean) ' Groups are required to be added if extracting Cube Views extractDict.Add(New XmlExtractItemPk(XmlExtractItemType.DashboardMaintUnit,"Integrations"), True) 'extractDict.Add(New XmlExtractItemPk(XmlExtractItemType.BusinessRule,"XS_ExportAppTypes"), True) Dim xm As XmlExtractItemPk = New XmlExtract
