Executing a data management sequence that we chose from a combo box in a dashboard

Hi Rayan: a few pointers for you:

1) "The problem is that i don't know how to send to the button the sequence"

• In the Button Settings, under Action > Server Task, you will set:
• Selection Changed Server Task: Execute Data Management Sequence
• Selection Changed Server Task Arguments: the generic format is {YourDataMgmtSequenceName}{Param1=[MyValue1], Param2=[MyValue2]}

2) "I already linked a parameter containing the list of steps to populate the combo box but i don't know how to send the selected step to the button to run it."

• Replace the generic server task arguments with your parameter's value
• Selection Changed Server Task Arguments: now becomes {|!YourParameterThatControlsTheDMSequence!|}{Param1=[MyValue1], Param2=[MyValue2]}

3) "how to make so that the button can execute any sequence i chose without preparing the parameters in advance like we do in the data management tab where we run then choose parameters we need."

• This is the harder part. OneStream cannot read your mind so you'll need to tell it what parameters it should be using in the DM step.
• This means the DM step needs to have parameters in use.
• And you need parameters on your dashboard that can be passed to the DM job
• Focusing in on the last part of the Selection Changed Server Task, you'll need to have a way to set these:
  • {DMParameter1=[|!DashboardParameter1!|], DMParameter2=[|!DashboardParameter2!|]}

Hope that's enough to get your moving in the right direction.  Cheers,   -db
