Workflow and Data Integration

I need to delete a single record in the Error Log but my Data Adapter won't let me, complaining about "unsafe SQL statements".In a rather bone-headed move, while developing a BR, I accidentally wrote an insanely large block of text to the Error Log -- like somewhere between 1.3 and 1.5 million characters -- in a single record via BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage.It's made the Error Log workspace page pretty much unusable because it's trying to read that record to display it. It takes 5 or 6 minutes to display the Error Log.After finding the UniqueID for the offending record in the ErrorLog table, I tried the following SQL in a Data Adapter to remove the record:DELETE TOP (1) from myOneStream_Framework.dbo.ErrorLog where UniqueID = 'bb5158a6-aae9-471c-b883-edddc8640a5e'Apparently, OneStream thinks I am a cyber-criminal and blocked my code execution with the following message: Database query error. The specified SQL statement is not safe.I also tried:UPDATE myOneStream_Framework.dbo.E

I need to add a Form Channel (Workspace) to our WF's for informational purposes.  Is there a way to exclude this from from the Dependent Status check of the WF for certification purposes.  The channel is defined as a workspace so we can embed a SQL grid report.  I already have similar channels where I have added buttons that control certification/decertification, this just requires the user to select the channel and then click the button.  Trying to get around forcing them to have to select when they might not need to view the provided data.   Understand I could move to a Dashboard but want to keep it in the WF and visible to users. 

Is there a way to make a WF Step only show up quarterly?  We want to create a form for the BS Flux but it should be completed at Day 10 vs all of our other forms need to be completed on Day 7 so we were thinking to seperate the 2.  We would only want this step to show up for the quarters.  I know I can make the form only show up on the quarters but I dont want to have the users have to complete the Form, Process, Confirm steps on the off months.   Willing to hear any alternative ideas on how to do this.  We use Task Manager also so we want to know that the Day 7 forms are complete vs the BS Flux.   My other thought is to create a dashboard and attach it to the Task and have them complete it but they are so focused on the workflow that we would have to be constantly reminding them.

Hi All,  Need assistance in posting a journal to eliminate the difference.  I tried posting a journal using reporting currency (ZAR) to eliminate the difference, but it's not going through. The translation should be periodic.    Anyone have any idea what I'm missing?  

I am setting up a Workflow with a SQL connector data source. I need to be able select a range of periods (start and end period) within the SQL query to extract the balances for multiple periods and load the same to OS cube. Users should have a provision to select the start and end periods and the SQL query should run dynamically based on those periods. Workflow should be executed to import and load the data to the multi periods selected at one time (not needing to run one by one period).I am new to OS. Appreciate suggestions and recommendations to implement this requirement in OS.   

I am trying to connect to a OneStream Cloud environment for which the REST API has been enabled and tested by OneStream Support.I am working in PostMan and following the REST API guide at System Guides > REST API Implementation > REST API Overview > Authentication, but i am hitting an error "One or more required parameters are missing."I can retrieve the AzureAD token fine, but when I then try and use it to authenticate with OneStream (expecting the SI to use later on), I get the above error message returned (along with a HTTP/400 Bad Request).As far as I can see I am not missing any Parameters as per that section of the REST API Guide.The POST request is to:https://xxxx.onestreamcloud.com/onestreamapi/api/authentication/logon?api-version=7.2.0Params: api-version=7.20Authorization: Bearer Token returned from Azure AD (via a PostMan variable)Content-Type: application/jsonBody: BaseWebServerURL: https://xxxx.onestreamcloud.com/onestre

Hi all, I am currently working on the transformation rules for my client. Because of our client needs, I would need to duplicate the data from one source account into two OS target accounts (same functionality as Logic Groups in FDM).  Is there a similar functionality in OS? Thank you 

Hi, We are using an application called Certent Disclosure Management (CDM) as part of our consolidation and close process for external reporting. For this we have built links between CDM and cube views to extract data. My question is, is it also possible to link to a spreadsheet held somewhere in the application? We have EUC's that have to be sent to CDM which contain data not available in OneStream. For this we use a SFTP 'pipe'. I was wondering whether if we held the files in OneStream would it be possible to transfer that data to CDM in much the same way as we do with data in Cube Views? The answer is probably 'no', but I just wanted to ask the question. Thanks

Hi all,  In my delimited upload file (trail balance) there are two columns that include amounts: beginning balance and the sum of periodic movements. The sum of the two is the number I want uploaded in the import stage.  Is there a way to make OneStream add an additional calculated column (source dimension) to the datasource with the sum of the two columns (so prior to transformation / validate / process)?  Any help would be much appreciated!

Does anybody know if there is a dashboard that shows the Workflow Statuses for all workflows. Like the right click on workflow Status & Assigned Entities.

Hello,Struggling today with a simple input form. For any entity I can write data, but not for 1 exception. I tried in workflow, or separate cubeview with varying dimensions which all worked before.Also for the same entity in other scenarios with a different scenario type I can write data.Authorization seems not the issue, after changing to Everyone it still shows as read only.Could something block the entity for input in a scenario?Thanks in advance for your any help! 

Hello all, My client recently upgraded to the most recent version of OneStream. Previously when loading data, the first line on the Load tab would show the total of bypassed records. We've noticed since the update, this no longer shows. Is it possible to turn this back on?Before:After:  

Hi, Did anyone have any situation when they deleted a DM Job by accident? How can you retrieve that? There's no Orphaned area for DM jobs for us, unfortunately. I can't find any back up for it. Would save us a lot of time if we avoid rebuilding it. Thanks in advance. Regards, Irina

Recently I heard in these forums that FDX methods (like FdxExecuteCubeView) should be used from a BR whenever the performance of the data is critical. Can someone help me understand why they are faster? We've already built quite a lot of client-integration software using cubeviews.  The cubeviews are being executed via the REST api.  We are retrieving data with "api/DataProvider/GetAdoDataSetForCubeViewCommand". Now that I have discovered the "FDX" methods, it puts me in the troublesome position.  I realize that a ton of our integration software should probably be re-written to use those FDX methods.  The re-write may take some time.  Why won't onestream just extend the "normal" cubeview interface of the REST api, and add an option to run it in FDX mode?  That would be similar to the "turbo" buttons they used to put on a the tower of a PC to make it run faster (for those users who had a preference between a fast computer and a slow one.) It would be h

I want to execute a list of DB Stored procedures after executing a DM step in OS. Is it possible to call a DB Stored Procedure from OS?After the Stored Procedures are run, I want to execute a list of DM Jobs for data imports to cube.Appreciate any pointers how I can implement this.  

First time poster here!  I created a data source called Vista that has 4 different entities using it.  Each of those 4 entities has their own Workflow Profile and each entity is “assigned” to their respective Workflow Profile.   In the Data Source, how do I address this in the Entity field?  Is there a formula I can use to pull the Entity name from the Workflow Profile that is selected by the user?  So if the user is importing the “Chicago” entity (which is assigned to the “Chicago” Workflow Profile), can the Data Source somehow read that?

We have users that frequently desire to mass updates to their transformation tables.  We use the TRX download/upload process to export current mappings and upload changes.  This works great except the TRX buttons are only available to administrators.  I believe that these should be available to admins along with anyone within the assigned maintenance group.  Is there a way to provision this? 

You can only enter data for up to 12 months in any given Workflow. Question Credit: Jack Lacava Is this statement fact or fiction? Comment your best guess below! Answers will be revealed in two weeks. * This question is applicable to Platform 7.3.0 and may not be relevant to future releases

Hi all, what do you usually suggest to clients as last step of a budget/forecasting cycle, to Close the workflow hierarchy or to Lock its workflows? I am just checking if there is any disadvantage by using one against the other. Also, is there a way of automating the closing/locking so that it is trigger on a certain date? I was thinking I can may create a rule encapsulated in a data management job and schedule that, but is there an easier way? Thank you 

Hi,I am experiencing a strange behavior with a piece of code in the drill back of a connector rule.I have the following piece of code: If StageTableFields.StageSourceData.DimUD1.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Zero") Then whereClause.Append("And (Department IS NULL) ") 'Else ' whereClause.Append("And (Department = '" & SqlStringHelper.EscapeSqlString(sourceValues.Item(StageTableFields.StageSourceData.DimUD1).ToString) & "') ") End If  When the ELSE condition is excluded as above the first IF works:However, with the ELSE condition included (see code below) the retrieve from the Zero values does not work anymore: If StageTableFields.StageSourceData.DimUD1.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Zero") Then whereClause.Append("And (Department IS NULL) ") Else whereClause.Append("And (Department = '" & SqlStringHelper.EscapeSqlString(sourceValues.Item(StageTableFields.StageSourceData.DimUD1).ToString) & "') ") End If Any idea why this is happening? Thank you

Hello! Can't find the location where I can download all the templates below. Could you please point me in the right direction? 

Hi I always seem to get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" in the error log when I execute data loads that use connector rules.The full error message is: ---------------------------------------- Exception Type: Unknown Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Stack Trace: at OneStream.Shared.Engine.XFTelemetryHelper.GetTaskActivityArgsInfo(SessionInfo si, TaskActivityArgs taskActivityArgs) in C:\agent\_work\411\s\Source\Shared\Engine\SharedEngineBase\UserActivity\XFTelemetryHelper.cs:line 55 The strange thing is that the data load is always successful... Does anyone know how to get rid of this error message?Thanks,Mark  

Doing a simple XFD load and getting a strange message "Cannot load data to 'UD6' member 'member name' because it is not assigned to workflow channel 'Standard' or because the UD member is invalid for the specified cube.1. I have checked the Import_Standard node and can't see a setting that ties to UD6 members. 2. I checked the cube and can see that the parent dimension is allowed for the cube. Any help is appreciated,  Scott 

I need to capture username, date, time, and status, for two processes via Event Handlerload data to cube using workflow profile koolwfforce consolidate ActualsCould someone please point me to sample code or literature? I have been able to gather that I may need to use the transformationEventHandler but can't really reference the data types needed to pull the information listed above. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.  

Hi,I have two sets of derivative source rules (see below). What I am looking for is to exclude the Accounts starting with 9203 from the second set of derivative source rules. Each derivative source rule loops through all source data rows, so it is not like in the mask rules, where placing the 9203* expression before the 92* expression would automatically exclude the first from the second set. What's the syntax to exclude something from a rule expression (in derivative rules)? Thank you
