Hello everyone,I’m encountering an issue with Hybrid Scenarios: I’m trying to copy data for a single period only. While I’ve successfully managed to copy Local data for that specific period by updating calc status, the results become inconsistent from Translated up to Top.To align the data from Translated through to Top in the target scenario, I currently need to run a Force Consolidate. However, doing so also brings in data from previous months, which is not desired.Has anyone faced a similar issue or found a way to restrict the consolidation to a single period without impacting prior periods?Thanks in advance,
Hi All,I have a cube view with a set of parameters as a member list. I attach the CV to a form template and override the cube view parameters by using the 'cube view parameters' feature in the form template.As an administrator, I can see the filters I added in the drop-down list, but for the end-user, it is completely blank. (See photo). All dimensions displayed are set to everyone, including templates, cube views, and workspaces. What is causing the issue? In 9.2, the members do not appear in the member list.
In our first workflow step, we set the value of a literal parm using dashboard extender and then in next step use that parm in a DM job to export data based on that parm value. On windows client, our DM job works fine but when we try it on web, it does not find the value of the parm and errors out. Can someone please share any experience with this kind of setup and how to make it work on web?
I'm working through a proof of concept for Workforce Planning, which is driving the addition of new Register Fields after the initial setup. I've added some new fields, but they do not display in the Register. Am I missing something simple or is this expected behavior? If it's expected behavior, then that would imply I need to do a complete rebuild (I know I can use import templates).
I have a cubeview with a header row returning no data for all my time period columns (correct) but returning (100.0)% for columns where I'm calculating percent variances. Is there a way to make those columns blank as well for my header row?
Good morning all, i've been asked to add some customer satisfaction values to our reports and its just a score out of 5, this works fine for base entities but I really need to parents to be an average of the base Entites that have a value. Is there a way t achieve this? appreciate your time. Tad
I have created a folder under application database in File share, I am trying to rename the folder because of some requirement changes, is it possible to update the folder name? Or even update the file name inside that folder?
Hello All, Is there a way to obtain hierarchical view of dimension(s) in BI Viewer components (like pivot grid) when you use Cube View MD as a source ? In other words not to have all members of dimension(s) as flat but still to have the parents of the dimension displayed as totals (as it would be displayed in a CV) Thank you Matthieu
Hi, We have a few accounts that contain stored formulas. These accounts contain formulas that reference another Account and Parent entity and it stores the result at a Base Entity. Below formula is for an account that has a formula pass 4. We are storing the result in "BaseEntity" and calculate Account1 by looking at OPEX at a Parent Entity. Obviously, since it is referencing a Parent Entity we have to run our consolidations twice in order to get the result. Is there a way to sum up the Base entities of Parent1 and reference that value in a formula or is there a way to run a consolidation within the formula for just that Parent Entity? In other CPM/EPM products I've worked with in the past you can right rules where you run an aggregation on the Entity and then run your calculation. In OneStream I cannot seem to find a way to do this. If api.Pov.Entity.Name = "BaseEntity" Then api.Data.ClearCalculatedData("A#Account1",True,False,False,True) api.Data.Calculate("A#Account1 = A#OPEX:E#Pare
Dears, I need move one base member under another parent in UD1 dimensions, the problem is that member should be consolidated till specific time period and then should be consolidated under another parent. There is no option like "percent consolidation" with time frame on UD1 dimensions. Could anyone have any solution for described problem? Before: U1#A(parent) U1#A001(base) consolidated till proper month in 2026 U1#A002(base) After: U1#B(parent) U1#A001(base) consolidated after proper month in 2026 U1#B001(base)
Hi all - We have a Labor Allocation Process that runs manually which we have seen some silent failures occur through our Api Calculate or Api Clear data. I am attempting to go through our business rules and add more complex logging to get a better understanding where/when these things occur. Lets say I had this code block.. Dim sourceDims As String = "U2#None:U3#None:O#Import:I#None:F#None:V#Periodic:C#USD" Dim destinationDims As String = "U2#None:U3#None:O#Import:I#None:F#None:V#Periodic:C#USD" If args.CustomCalculateArgs.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Copy3rdPartyImportData") Then 'Only run for the Base Entities and local currency If (Not api.Entity.HasChildren()) And (api.Cons.IsLocalCurrencyForEntity()) 'Get the current scenario Name Dim curScenarioName As String = api.Pov.Scenario.Name If curScenarioName = "Rpt_Mar" Then 'Clear previously calculated data api.Data.ClearCalculatedData(True, True, True, True,"A#3PFB_Capital","O#Import","I#None","V#Pe
Our two environments are currently on different OneStream versions. DEV is on 9.1.1 and PROD is 8.4.4. We have an upgrade scheduled to get them in sync soon. However, currently facing a parameter resolving and passing issue while trying to migrate some functionality from DEV to PROD. All setups are now equal between the two applications for the workspace that I moved over to PROD. However, I believe version 8.4.4 is having some trouble resolving parameters being passed to a button click that I have on the same dashboard. I have a button whose "Selection Changed Server Task" is set to "Execute Data Management Sequence" and "Selection Changed Server Task Arguments" is set to "{FilteredForecastRollforward_ButtonRan}{SelectedContracts=[|!param_SelectContracts!|]}". Within 9.1.1 DEV this data management sequence runs no problem an receives the value of "Contract1" upon logging. However, in 8.4.4 PROD this parameter is not resolving properly and comes as "|!SelectedContract
I’m exploring ways to configure OneStream to send automated email notifications when a workflow status changes.Specifically, the requirement is something like:When a workflow transitions from Not Started --> In Progress, orFrom In Progress --> Completed (or similar workflow status changes),the system should automatically send an email notification to a defined user or user group to inform them of the status change.If anyone has implemented something similar or can point me to the right framework (or limitations) around workflow-driven notifications, I’d really appreciate any guidance or examples.Thanks in advance!
Hi Team, In Manage Workflow initially i have faced an issue, we thought Workflow channel name "Whatif_R&O_Adj" contains special character &. is this really because of '&' symbol. or is there any other issue. Could you please advise on this. and after clicking on the 'ok'. it is not showing unlock and Unlock Descendent options. Please help to resolve the issue. Below are my workflow settings. Thank you, Shiva Prasad.
Hi everyone, I’ve developed a report using Cube Views and noticed the following behavior with keyboard navigation: The Tab key moves right and then wraps to the next row The Arrow keys move in their respective directions and wrap at the boundaries When navigation reaches the end of the report, it continues by jumping back to the beginning and starts again from the top. Is there a way to stop this wrap-around behavior at the report boundaries?Is there any property setting to control or disable this? Thanks in advance,Archana
Hello everyone,I’m looking for feedback on the pros and cons of using a single Actual scenario across two cubes (e.g., Consolidation and FP&A) versus defining separate scenarios for each cube.For example: Option 1 (shared): Consolidation Cube : Actual (Scenario Type = Actual) FP&A Cube : Actual (Scenario Type = Actual) Option 2 (separate): Consolidation Cube : Actual (Scenario Type = Actual) FP&A Cube : Monthly (Scenario Type = Control)From your experience, how do these approaches compare in terms of data governance, maintenance, performance, flexibility for planning/reporting, and potential risks (e.g., unintended impacts between cubes)?Any
Hi everyone,I need to add a button to a dashboard to allow users to export to csv or txt some data from the staging area, specifically from dbo.vStageSourceAndTargetDataWithAttributesI tried multiple approaches using a dashboard extender but cannot find the right way to do that.Has anyone done that before and has any suggestion or best practice to do it (even without using a BR)?Thank you for the help!
Hi all,my client is loading in OS Actual data in MTD.I set up a cube view to show the actuals MTD month by month. If the user loads the first 3 months, the cv correctly shows the MTD for the first 3 months, but for the 4th month it shows the YTD with inverted sign:If I understand correctly, this setup should be configurable by intervening on the following WF Profile settings:I also changed the following setting in the scenario configuration:nevertheless, the cv keeps showing the inverted YTD in the new month.Can anyone explain why?Thank you!

Hi all,I'm experiencing a strange issue on OneStream (rel 9.2.0.18004) that was working as expected under previous release (8.*)In a dashboard I have combos that let me select Scenario and Time, with a "POV Action" that set them back setting - respectively - WFScenario and WFTime parameters.Now, starting from the above mentioned release, whenever I change a combo, the focus moves from the dashboard, opening the selected Workflow.So, the User is experiencing something like:Launch the DashboardSelect ScenarioSystem opens current WorkFlowOpen back my dashboardSelect TimeSystem opens current WorkflowOpen back my dashboardRun the actionIn previous release, the POV Action didn't took the User away from the current dashboard.Have you experienced the same issue ? Is there a workaround to let the user stay in the dashboard ? Thanks in AdvanceFabioG
Hi,We are working on a Proof of Concept (POC) with the aim of implementation. However, one issue remains a roadblock and is hindering the adoption of the solution: the deletion of lines loaded with the same amounts, which we are unable to reconcile or isolate.In TXM, our ERP system sends us many identical lines (following corrections by the accountants): e.g., Transaction ID 1, CPT1, Invoice: 10000 Amount: 10; Transaction ID 2, CPT1, Invoice: 10000 Amount: 10; Transaction ID 3, CPT1, Invoice: 10000 Amount: 10.I would like to know how, within a single Data Set and from the same Data Source, to reconcile and/or isolate these lines, which represent unnecessary noise in the analyses. From my understanding, intra-Data Set reconciliations are not possible in this case. I sometimes have 2, 3, 4, 5 or even more almost identical lines that unnecessarily clutter the analyses and hinder the actual cases that need to be studied.Do you have a solution for reconciling these lines and placing th
Hi All,We are using a spreadsheet component on a dashboard to show a cubeview. When we enter text into an annotation field, it works fine and you just have to hit save afterwards for the data to be committed to the cell. However, if we want to attach a file to the cell, once we do that and click ok, we are prompted with a message box that says "Do you want to refresh OneStream data? All unsaved changes will be lost". Regardless, of whether we say yes or no, the file still gets attached.Is there anyway to disable this prompt as it really doesn't offer any value to us? Is this out-of-the-box functionality?Thx,Mike
For the first Import of a Workflow Profile, data in certain months in a "Matrix flat file" failed to be loaded into a Data Cube.For the second+ Import of that Workflow Profile, data in those months in that "Matrix flat file" could be loaded into a Data Cube.- In summary, data in certain months in a "Matrix flat file" must be Imported > 1 time of a Workflow Profile to be loaded into a Data Cube.Please share the root causes for v9.2. Thank you, SMEs. For the first Import Workflow, M2 data in certain intersections failed to be loaded into a Data Cube.For the second+ Import Workflow, M2 data in those intersections could be loaded into a Data Cube.
Hi OS Community,I’m an EPM Consultant working mainly on Financial Consolidation, and I would appreciate some guidance on a scenario‑specific consolidation design question.Currently, our Actuals consolidation process is working correctly and uses the standard XFW_FSK_Accounts lookup table to drive account mapping during consolidation.This includes full account‑level detail, which is required for statutory reporting and analysis.Now we need to enable consolidation for the Budget scenario, the rules for Budget should be the same as Actual , but with a different level of granularity:The Budget scenario is loaded at a higher‑level Account hierarchyMain QuestionWhat is the recommended way to use a different account mapping lookup table for Budget while keeping the existing XFW_FSK_Accounts logic for Actuals?More specifically:Can we assign or reference a different account lookup table (e.g. XFW_FSK_Accounts_Budget) within the consolidation Business Rules, based on the Scenario?Is it best
Hello Everyone,I’m encountering an issue in OneStream when trying to post a journal via central workflow to an entity whose workflow is locked.Normally, central journal input steps are designed to allow journal postings even when the entity’s workflow is locked. In my case, I have configured a central journal input step within the workflow profile of the entity, so I would expect journal entries to still be accepted despite the lock.However, when attempting to post the journal, I receive an error indicating that the entity is locked.Has anyone experienced a similar issue where central journal input steps do not bypass the workflow lock as expected? Are there specific configuration points or workflow setup details that could explain this behavior?
