OneStream Platform Forums

I would like to reference in a BRAPI rule text stored in the workflow profile's Substitution Text Settings.  Can someone provide an example how to do this please. 

Hello,I'am newly at OneStream and now I have a requirement from a client:- They want to import, automatically, files that will be data source of a Workflow Profile = import;1. Those files are on FTP (FTP connection), that means that I need to add on the current application server, a connector type = gateway, right?  Also, what I need to define on the connection string?2. Then I need to create a BR for the connector;3. Since the files are "delimited files", so on the Data Sources menu, I need to create a new Data source - delimited file and map the columns to the correspondent dimensions that exists in OneStream right? Also, on the connector setting option, I need to assign the delimited file to the BR connector that I created previously, right?   4. On the Workflow Profile, I will assign it to the new delimited file. Are these the correct steps?Thank you all.Ricardo

Hello,Currently a brand new customer and I was wondering if there's a way to automate currency loads from a SQL table to load into OneStream? We were told there was a way, but our consultants are telling us its not possible?Can it be done through a Workflow using Data Manager? Thanks,Will

Hi all, Happy New Year! Is there a way of extracting an active entity list from OneStream including Entity Name, Description, and Currency fields by using a data management job? Any ideas will be appreciated. Thank you!  

When trying to update another user's workflow view within OS, I'm seeing the following error. Replacing the current file with an updated xml works but I would like to avoid that if possible. Any ideas?    

Hi, I'm getting this error on different applications in my OS instance. Apologies if it is not relevant to this forum.

I have a business rule that requires referencing aggregated divisional (entity) data several times over the course of the rule.  Base level entities run their rules and at a point in the rule, the entity needs the aggregated divisional result and so a consolidation to division. Can the data management jobs for consolidation have the consolidation filter set to C#Aggregated and the rule get the correct aggregated divisional numbers from the consolidation?  Or, is C#Aggregated only for data reporting?  Does the rule POV need to use C#aggregated when referencing divisional entity data or can this left out of the rule?  I have run some tests and the answer seems to be yes, DM jobs with C#aggretated produce data that can be referenced in rules and no, the rule does not need C#aggregated in its divisional entity POV.  Can anyone comment on this more?  Thanks.

We have a requirement for ALL users that log in, to acknowledge a set of system messages before gaining access to the application.  Other off the shelf applications have this capability built-in.  If it does not exist in OneStream, would the best approach be to create a dashboard and make that the home page for all users?

Hi All, I am facing an interesting issue (or a bug). Requirement: Capturing comments using a text box (linked with a literal parameter) and save it as annotation text so that it can be pulled in CV reports as well.  Using literal parameter as I set it to stored comment using the BR when click on a cell in CV. I have a save button to save the comment if they want to change it and save it. when they save reading this text input in the textbox. so same textbox is used to display and write. I am passing this text as [|!Param!|] to rule. whole setup work great but found an issue when there is a unbalanced "[" or "]" then it throws this error.  Error: Invalid comma separated values. Unmatched brackets wondering if anyone seen this or have a workaround to handle this? appreciate any help.    

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had experience adding cultures to an applicaiton after go-live. Considering this is a system wide change its difficult to test without applying across all applications. I'm wondering if the statement in the attached screenshot "impact overall environment or application performance" would be applicable to adding new cultures.  Looking forward to hearing from you all. Cheers!

Hi All,I have been trying to understand the process to setup On-Prem Oracle DB connection in OneStream Cloud to export data from cube. Is there a document that you guys can point to? The doc I found didn't help much as it seems it is for On-Prem OneStream version. Thanks in advance,Mikki

Hi, my Entity dimension has a main hierarchy with TopMemberA being the top member, and an alternative hierarchy with TopMemberB as top member. It looks like this:   TopMemberA - ParentA1 -- Entity1 -- Entity2 - ParentA2 -- Entity3 -- Entity4 TopMemberB - ParentB1 -- Entity1 -- Entity3 - ParentB2 -- Entity2 -- Entity4   The issue I have is that whenever I consolidate TopMemberA the status of TopMemberB changes to CN, and vice versa consolidation TopMemberB changes the status of TopMemberA changes to CN. I don't see why consolidating one branch of the hierarchy should change the status of an alternative hierarchy. Did anybody else notice this? How have you solved it?   Thank you  

Hi All- Can someone share how to hide the Instructions dashboard and show the TieOut Report dashboard when the Run Report button is pressed?  

Please let me know what you have done to pass a dashboard parameter to a data unit filter e.g. Entity on a Data Management step.   For example, if we have a dashboard parameter |!Selected_Entity!| which stores the entity member selected on the dashboard, using it on the Entity Filter in Data Management (E#|!Selected_Entity!| only works if the dashboard parameter type is a Literal Value with a Default Value set. The default value can then be changed with a business rule with the SetLiteralParameterValue function (this is also the setup in GolfStream).   The problem with a literal value parameter type is: where user A selects the entity on the dashboard, but before user A kicks off the DM step from the dashboard via e.g. a button, if user B changes his/her entity selection, the default is changed for everyone, so user A will kick off the step for user B's entity.   Trying an XFBR rule to set the default value of a Literal Value Type - it seems

Does anyone know the order that XFSetCells load in a spreadsheet?  I have duplicate metadata key infomation, and I'm trying to handle it by doing some accumulating with some more generic formulas.  I assumed it loaded top down, so the lower cell would be the last value loaded to overwrite preceding ones.  Doesn't seem to be playing out in every case that it's submitting top to bottom.

I want to be able to drill to HR details in BIBlend from any users cube view, so I set up a linked Dashboard using Default NavLink parameters, and a SQL data adapter using these default parameters.  It is working perfectly except for Account.  The cube account mapping logic is concatenating 3 columns in the detail file to map to a headcount account (ex Full-Time - Exempt -  Associate).  I assume I will need to set up separate BRs to apply this logic.  I am wondering if there is a better way to do this?  

Hi, Is there a way to modify the OneStream banner at the very top of both the login screen and the application window where the OneStream Logo could be replaced with a customer logo or anything else?  I know we can add text to the banner via the Application Config file, but I was wondering if there was a way to eliminate our logo in place of something else.  One of our military customers is asking this question.   Thanks, Ed Wright

I need some help building out the following two calculations on stored member formulas. They would need to run at every UD. 1) = MIN((A#Account1 - 4.5%), (A#Account2 - 6%), (A#Account3 - 8%)) 2) = MAX((A#Account1 - Account2 - Account3 - Account4),0) Thanks so much!

I have a cube view that I need to modify so that in the second column we are getting data that is driven by the selection that the user makes for the first column. For example if the user selects a forecast for February to be in the first column, then the second column of the cube view would have to be the previous month’s forecast. Do you have any suggestions on how to achieve this view? Thank you in advance for any help and suggestions! I am going to attach some views of what I have in here so far (The second column reads OP plan as I have copied this view from another similar Cube View).          

Hi, I'm trying to pull in the descendants and the parent member of an account into a data buffer. e.g. something of the form FilterMembers(A#All, A#Gross_Sales.DescendantsInclusive). When I log the data buffer and examine my results, however, I'm only seeing the base member data and none of the parents. Could anyone provide me any suggestions on how to pull all of this data into a single data buffer? And can anyone tell me why my data buffer doesn't produce the results I'm expecting? Thanks!

Hello fellow OneStreamers, I have a burning question that I need to get insight for in regard to environment care. We have a cloud instance of OneStream and have multiple apps on our prod environment. We would like to have a good overview of the app sizes, perhaps in a nice dashboard, so that we can preempt our need to order more storage space and prepare our release schedule. Is anyone using or has developed anything like that? Currently we have to send a ticket to the help desk to know the app sizes and would prefer to have in in our-hands more on demand to plan. Thanks!

Hello! As a EssBase previous user, do you know if it's possible to navigate without data or at least positionning row and colums dimansions without a refresh and once all is done proceed to the refresh. Because  sometimes when it makes 4 minutes to refresh a cubeview and I have to move at least 5 axis to column or row, it takes 5 x 4 minutes Thank you in advance.
