Hello, I am receiving the error "Entry with the same key already exists" when trying to load a xml through a workflow. I have checked all of the dimensions, transformation rules, data sources, etc. and am not finding any duplication. Looking online I see recommendations on other platforms where the issue relates to a ListDictionary and Add within the code where it tries to add something that may already exist?  I am curious if anyone has ran across this issue and how you resolved it.   Summary: An entry with the same key already exists. ---------------------------------------- Description: An entry with the same key already exists.

Hi everyone! Quick question - I have a workflow profile which is used for the Actual scenario in order to post central overlay adjustments. This all works fine for our needs. However, when it comes to other scenarios like Budget, Forecast, etc, it's just not at all relevant and my hope is that I can simply switch off the whole workflow in certain scenarios. However I can't see a setting for this in workflow profiles. I can see I can easily make individual Forms and Import steps not appear according to scenario (in the "Profile Active" setting) but I can't see a way to switch off the entire workflow for any given scenario. PS - the idea is that someone doesn't have to click through a bunch of forms in the budget/forecast every time which will always have zero/nil entries in them. Let me know if you've got any ideas! Thanks,Richard

Hi All, Does anyone have any good advice on what Workspaces should be created in the application dashboards screen beyond Default?  In reading the guide, workspaces seem to have a lot of focus on separating development activities or perhaps for partner place solutions(?).  I am struggling a bit to understand at what level to offer a different workspace.  We have been toying with the idea of having a separate workspace for Actuals and Planning but as 90% of our dashboards live in Planning, not 100% sure this is the best use of this split. Any practical advice on the kind of workspaces that people are setting up that adds value?  I want to make sure we are using them in their best manner. Thx, Mike

Is there a report or dashboard that will flag violations of Extensibility rules in dimensions?

 We are loading data using SQL connector business rule and it works fine manually. Now looking for a way to load it automatically using a extender business rule and then calling from DM step. All documentation in design ref guide point to using the following code. This works when loading from a file ( with specific file format) and the file needs to be in harvest folder. I can also make it work by keeping a file which is blank in the harvest folder and still executing the workflow using the connector BR. But is there a better method which does not involve a file. Dim batchInfo As WorkflowBatchFileCollection = BRAPi.Utilities.ExecuteFileHarvestBatch(si, scenario, timeperiod, valTransform, valIntersect, loadCube, processCube, confirm, autoCertify, False) 

When an app is copied to a different environment, first we extracted & loaded the security XML (users & groups). Then the app copy was made to this new environment using Cloud Admin tool. Even after this the artifact level security on the metadata, workflows, cube views etc. did not move. All the security groups in the artifacts showed "Not Found". What did we miss? Appreciate your response.

Hello,   I have a Dashboard that has an attachment button, setup as "File Upload" to the Application Database. We want the client to be able to attach files (this part is working). Due to the number of attachments, every file that is attached, will have to be tagged to a Text field for a specific Member. We'd like to tag multiple files on a single text line, separated by commas. Has anyone done something similar? How did you go about this?  Thank you for your time.

Hi Everyone, We have multiple cubes in an application. Is there a way to retrieve the cube name using the entity dimension member. I have multiple entities in a excel sheet and I need to get the cube names for them. I tried the =XFGetMemberInfo(memberInfoType,dimTypeName,memberName). It did not work.     Thanks  

Hi there, From other security related questions posted in the community, I understand there are templates for creating user and user groups in OneStream. I would like to know is there a similar template to assign user into their relevant user groups as well? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you. JC

Hi, is there a way to present the "Cube Root Workflow Profile" description in the workflow selection window rather than the name. So in this Example below it would say Test rather than GolfStream? Thanks

Cash Planning rolling forward, Capex tracking in OS: Anybody experience to share in this context?

I would like the use one of the T#Global function and create a dynamic time list for the last 24 months.  For example, I had the time as 2023M12, the list would show me all the months of 2023 and 2022.  Anyone has any tips on how this can be acoomplished? Trung

Dear Community, Can anyone please guide me the proper usage of the function  BRApi.Database.SaveDataTableRows(dbConnApp, tableName, columns, hasPrimaryKeyColumns, editedDataRows, throwIfRowForUpdatesDoesntExist, throwIfRowForDeleteDoesntExist, logErrors) I would like to understand the correct usage of  XFDataColumn and XFEditedDataRows in the above function, would appreciate any assistance. Thank You.

Hi everyone, I have the current Entity hierarchy: I created a cubeview that allows the user to initially select a base entity from a dropdown list to be used as Entity member within the cubeview. In some of the rows, though, I'd like to consider the Legal Entity code rather than the base member code (for example, assuming the user initially selects 1010TRW, I want two rows to use 1010 as Entity member whereas the rest of the rows will use 1010TRW). Is there a straightforward way to consider the first 4 characters of the parameter in one of the rows of the CV?  I tried to search for functions to be used in the Member filter builder window but I did not find any.Thanks in advance for any help!            

Hello Everyone, I’m not sure if I’m not understanding or just approaching the code wrong.  We’ve been on OneStream for about two years and myself and my co-admin are not extensive in our code knowledge.  We can generally copy/tweak what the implementation partners build, or searching the forums here, but I’d put us as basic or being generous intermediate level. We have a workflow that loads to the actual scenario and has some workflow steps at the end that are for a variance scenario where the users enter commentary balances. The Variance scenario steps auto lock when certified and I want a business rule to unlock the variance steps if the Actual Import_Ledger step is re-run. I have code in the TransformationEventHandler rule that accomplishes this for me, but when users are running the import it gives the error of user has not been granted access to application role “UnlockWorkflowUnit” I thought (possibly erroneously) that by using a business rule the system would allow unl

Hi,I have a large Excel report built on XFGetCells. I am trying to understand the dimensions that each XFGetCell is grabbing, but it takes a long time to parse through an XFGetCell manually and make notes of each relevant dimension. Is there a method or tool to read XFGetCells and translate the dimensionality in a format that identifies which dimension each member is related to? An example of one of my XFGetCells is:=XFGetCell(TRUE, "Cube1", "Entity1", "", "USD", $G$4, H$18, $I$4, $C$24, "Top", "Top", "Top", $C$15, "Top", $C26, "Top", "Top", "None", "Top", "None")-XFGetCell(TRUE, "Cube1", "Entity1", "", "USD", $G$4, H$18, $I$4, $D$24, "Top", "Top", "Top", $C$15, "Top", $C26, "Top", "Top", "None", "Top", "None")-XFGetCell(TRUE, "Cube1", "Entity1", "", "USD", $G$4, H$18, $I$4, $E$24, "Top", "Top", "Top", $C$15, "Top", $C26, "Top", "Top", "None", "Top", "None") I would like to understand that Cube= Cube1 Entity= Entity1 Parent= Cons= USD Actual= $G$4 Etc. Thank you

Hi Everyone.  How can I make an element not open with just one click, but with two clicks or more?

Hi, Is there a way to perform a force consolidate in a BR? since running a datamgmtsequence isn't working properly for me. Example: Select Case api.FunctionType Case Is = FinanceFunctionType.CustomCalculate 'If args.CustomCalculateArgs.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Test") Then 'api.Data.Calculate("A#Profit = A#Sales - A#Costs") 'End If brapi.utilities.ExecuteDataMgmtSequence(si, "PLN_Consolidate_AnyScenario", Nothing) End Select And with this, the consolidation doesn't run; I'm not sure if I'm missing sending information or something like that.

May I have an example of how to use "DynamicCalcTextInput" Formula Type? I cannot find the place to put text annotation without using data cell annotation.   

Hey guys! I am working on an Dashboard to present workflow status.... i got this: The query is: {Total GolfStream}{|GlobalScenario|}{|GlobalTime|}{}{}{RowType <> 'A'}   How can i remove the ones that have Central in the name?   Thanks!  

Hey all, We are currently looking into BI Blend and use it for our Sensible Machine Learning solution that we are about to implement. The initial plan is to use two BI Blend instances one for  historical data which is very detailed data with a long historical range. And a second for a more short term forecast period. Our ambition long term is to be able to use our Forecast BiBlend table data in our Planning process and our regular  Cube and Scenario.  Do anyone have a recommended approach to migrate data from BIBlend into cubes? 

Hi all,  I am facing an issue regarding my ability to reference global objects between two different business rules, one of which is a finance business rule and the other of which is a connector business rule. To be more specific, the flow goes like this:  First, I execute the finance business rule function that generates my global object, which is a DataTable, from a connector business rule:  BRApi.Finance.Calculate.ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule(si, "Utilities", "GetDataTable", povInfo, CustomCalculateTimeType.MemberFilter) Then, in the GetDataTable function of the Utilities finance business rule, I create a DataTable and save it as a global object: Dim dtCEDR_Integ As New DataTable("CEDR") 'add data to data table globals.SetObject("dtCEDR_Integ", dtCEDR_Integ) Then, back in the connector business rule, I try to get that global DataTable object. Dim dtCEDR_Integ As DataTable = globals.GetObject("dtCEDR_Integ") However, when I attempt to import the

Hello, I was wondering if there's a way to dynamically load a flat file once per year for a specific month. We load data yearly for our CapEx Budget and was wondering if you can assign a static value such as |WFYear|M1? I tried it but failed so right now I just hard keyed it.  Yes, I can put the time in the column the data I load comes in with no time period in the field because it's a YTD amount, but I just wanted to make it as dynamic and no chance for human error in it. Thanks, Will

Hello again, it seems that the error was not completely corrected, so I have the same problem as my previous post. Scenario 'Forecast 2023M10’s workflow settings do not allow input for Time member ‘2023M9’. I know this is a bit strange, but I need to modify values from the previous month. For example, now that I’m in November, I want to affect September. In February, it allows me to make these modifications because it’s still possible, but I want to do the same for the following months. The function value gives me as a form and I believe it is necessary to pass it to import, but I have no idea how to do it. For Each strItem As String In ({"Amount", "Annotation"}) Dim listTargetDC As New List(Of DataCellEx) For Each drResult As DataRow In dtResult.Rows Dim dcpkTarget As DataCellPk = drResult("DataCellPk") If strItem.Equals("Annotation") Then dcpkTarget.ViewId = BRApi.Finance.View.GetIdFromName(si, "Annotation") End If

Hello, We're building our Planning module and was wondering we have management fees that we get from our corporate office. They come in as USD. Is there a way that we can load in USD and translate them back in to Local Currency for the entities? This is a one time yearly load and didn't know if it was possible or if we have to calculate it to local currency and then load it? Thanks, Will
