Rules

Hi, I have the following code that gives me an error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Dim listMbrEntityD As New List(Of Member) Dim dimpkEntityD As New DimPk(mbrEntityD.DimTypeId, mbrEntityD.DimId) listMbrEntityD.AddRange(BRApi.Finance.Members.GetBaseMembers(si, dimpkEntityD, mbrEntityD.MemberId)) I have debugged with errorlog but it doesn’t manage to print anything to see the values, any idea how to solve it?

Hi Everyone,I have requirement to run 4 data management steps in parallel, is there a way to run 4 data management steps same time? Thanks in advance.  

Hi Community... I'm trying to extract data from CV using FdxExecuteCubeView method..So, if anyone give sample code for that with respected method query means... It'll be very helpful to refer...     I want to know how we are passing values in this method...By CV POV...?Thank You...!

How do you consolidate currency overrides using alternative currencies e.g. Base Entity and immediate parent are in EUR and ultimate parent is in USD. Client wants to view consolidated view of immediate parent in USD including the currency overrides. The same reverse is required for USD entity rolling up to EUR. We have created alternate flow members but the aggregation is a challenge.

Dear Community: I am trying to add a previous year M12 balance to a SCF report.  I can't seem to get prior year data to come over.  However, If I code the amount it does work. ' api.Data.calculate("A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment = A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment + A#33100:T#POVPriorYearM12") does not work ' api.Data.calculate("A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment = A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment + A#33100:T#2022M12") does not work ' api.Data.calculate("A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment = A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment + A#33100") does not work api.Data.calculate("A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment = A#CF_RepaymentEquityInvestment + -62225") ' Returns amount as intended   Thanks

Hi Everyone. Is there a way to delete accounts in a scenario that have a certain value, for example, 0?

Everyone, we are trying to create a data buffer using GetDataBufferUsingFormula where we would like to have the current entity or all the DU member's information included. Is there a way to do that? the idea is to get the buffer and then apply a filter based on the entity key. 

I showed it at Wave and share it with all of you: when you use JSON to log, you can log anything, not just strings, you can log a Dictionary, a list, a MemberInfo, even a Databuffer. First, you need to import JSON, add these 2 rows at the top of your rule: Imports Newtonsoft.JsonImports Newtonsoft.Json.Linq Second, when you want to log, use JSON! Dim stringobj As String = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(lCenterInfo,Formatting.Indented)api.logmessage(lCenterInfo.Member.Name & ", lCenterInfo: " & stringobj) When you use ,Formatting.Indented, your log will be correctly formatted. Thanks to Matt Ha for enlightening me with JSON and RobbSalzmann for sharing how to have the JSON string correctly formatted!

Hi All- we have a situation where we are receiving two separate ledgers, one in Local currency and one in USD. The USD ledger includes adjustment and revaluation effects on several accounts in addition to translation. For non-USD entities we are just utilizing the Flow dimension and a USD Override base member to store the USD value, with a business rule to override the USD translated value with the USD value from the second ledger. For USD entities this isn't working, and we get a formula error if we try to force C#Local to differ from C#USD. Is it possible to set the value of C#USD to a different value than C#Local for a USD entity?

Hi I have got a list of member info and trying to do a simple loop through the list to get the member and it's parent using the following code, however ParentMemberId is always coming back as -1. Dim UD1DimPk As DimPk = BRApi.Finance.Dim.GetDimPk(si, "CostCentre") Dim listMI As List(Of MemberInfo) = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMembersUsingFilter(si, UD1DimPk, "U1#Root.TreeDescendants", False) For Each item In listMI BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, item.Member.Name & " | " & item.ParentMemberId) Next I've also tried to include DimDisplayOptions and MemberDisplayOptions using following but I have had no luck Dim cubeID As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Cubes.GetCubeInfo(si, "MY_CUBE").Cube.CubeId Dim scenarioID As Integer = ScenarioDimHelper.GetIdFromName(si, "Actual") Dim dimDisplay As DimDisplayOptions = New DimDisplayOptions(cubeID, scenarioID) Dim memberDisplay As MemberDisplayOptions = New MemberDisplayOptions(True, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name, True, True, True, True, True, 0

Hi Everyone. I am performing a conversion in a SQL query using currencies; I relied on this other post for now. Where is stored the Currency Name ?  The problem I have is that I have some SourceCurrencyId in the FXrates table that don't appear there, so I want to know if there's a way to get all possible currency names through a business rule.

Hi, is there a standard IRR calculation that can be shared? thanks, Greg

This post is to illustrate how to call a public function of a Finance Rule from within XFBR rule. The Finance Rule has a function called EntityText8 splitter, and I need to call it from within a XFBR rule. To make it work, first need to make the Finance Rule "True" - Contains Global Functions for Formulas (in Rule Properties) and refer to the specific rule assembly in XFBR rule properties (screenshot2). The XFBR rule reads: '-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Returns the Entity in Text8 or emtpy '-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'BRString(SeedingXFBRStrings, Text8Entity, curEntity=|CVEntity|, curScenario=|CVScenario|) 'XFBR(SeedingXFBRStrings, Text8Entity, curEntity=|CVEntity|, curScenario=|CVScenario|)   If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Text8Entity") Then   Dim curEntity

As the subject line writes, is it possible to disable/hide confirmation rules without deleting them?  I'm revising our current budget work flow and changing the confirmation rules required.  I'd like to keep the prior rules in case they are required in the future.

How can I print DataManagement Sequence name? I have Consolidation email BR but within that email I want to print which Sequence consolidation is running for?    Saurin

I have an input sheet in which data can be entered for an override of another number.  The Cell Status "Is Real Data" flag is used in a rule.  If an override is entered in the early part of the monthly year but not later parts a derived amount of 0 is shown and it's "Is Real Data" flag is false.  My problem is when I use the Data Management step Copy Data to copy to a new scenario.  The 0 cells after the initial user input are now "Is Real Data" = True and "Is Derived Data" = False.  My rule now treats these 0s as if they were entered by user and so doesn't work.  This seems very wrong to me that the Copy Data step can't get the details of the Cell Status right.   Can someone explain what to do here to preserve the cell status after a copy?  Thanks.

We are capturing parent entity adjustments, and they are not rolling to C#Share. Any idea what the cause may be or how to enable this.

Could someone please direct me on where I can find documentation or training on how OneStreamEmail works?  How it can be implemented, authentication used, etc.?  I can't find anything when searching Design and reference guide.   

Hi, I am trying to build in an if statement in a cubeview (getdatacell formula) on the cell amounts. In specific: If cellamount of CVC(col 10) > CVC(col 11) then CVC(col1) else CVC(col1).  The reason why I am trying to do this in a cubeview getdatacell is because the col 10 an col 11 are referencing other columns and those other columns are referencing other columns in return. A workaround would be to recreate these column references in BR or create new members with formulas doing similar. But I am trying to avoid recreating this if possible. Hope someone have ideas. 

Hi everyone. I have this error when trying to insert data into my SQL table 'System.OutOfMemoryException'. This occurs when I use .base to retrieve all my departments. The following is how I enter the values of a table into SQL using a loop, so I would like to know what I can do to avoid that error when I want to add many values to that table. For Each isRow As DataRow In dt.Rows Dim sqlInsert As String = $"INSERT INTO AllocationResults (Step, Amount, Annotation, SourceRule, DriverRule, Type, StepDesc, TargetRule, AllocRule, Generation, Cube, Entity, Consolidation, Scenario, Time, [View], Account, Flow, Origin, Ic, UD1, UD2, UD3, UD4, UD5, UD6, UD7, UD8) VALUES " & $"(1, {Amount}, '{Annotation}', '{SourceRule}', '{DriverRule}', '{Type}', '{StepDesc}', '{TargetRule}', '{AllocRule}', {Generation}, '{Cube}', '{Entity}', '{Consolidation}', '{Scenario}', '{Time}', '{View}', '{Account}', '{Flow}', '{Origin}', '{Ic}', '{UD1}', '{UD2}', '{UD3}', '{UD4}', '{UD5}',

Hello All, I am creating a confirmation rule with the following goal: - Read data attachment text from from a V#Annotation field  Due to my unfamiliarity with the DataAttachmentList object, I have been unsuccessful in utilizing this list within my rule. I wanted to reach out to the community and see if anyone could help correct my mistakes. My code for testing is as follows:    

May I ask how to use Case IS = ExtenderFunctionType.ExecuteExternalDimensionSource? It will be great if we have use cases and examples. Thank you

I have a dashboard parameter of type delimited list and I want to get the value from the parameter in a dynamic UD8 member. How do I get the parameter value? If I use the following code I just get the default value of the parameter (because the parameter isn't a literal type): Dim sValue As String = BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.GetLiteralParameterValue(si, False, "myParameter")brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "sValue " & sValue) so I need to use a method other than BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.GetLiteralParameterValue but have no idea what and don't seem to be able to find any documentation to help find what to use.

Hi - I want capture data cell values from two columns of the cube view and save them as a list and used the list to loop through the calculations. i would appreciate help with a sample code or guidance. Thanks. YM.

I'm trying to create a Dashboard parameter that has the OS Version number of the application. I would have thought that something likeDim osVersion As String = OneStream.Shared.Common.GeneralStrings.OSVersionwould return the value, but this simply returns the string "OS Version". Can someone please point me to the correct function or member to get the application version number?
