Workflow and Data Integration

OneStream V7.0.1We have a Data Source that takes data file that has 12 data columns Oct ... Sep.The year for the data in the 12 data columns is a field "Fiscal Year", the first column of the data file.We have a Parser BR that is called on each of the 12 data columns that looks at the first field in each record to get the year and concatenates that with the M<number> month for each month column to give the correct Time dimension member in which to store the data.  e.g. 2023M1The problem is we're getting the row header "Fiscal Year" instead of the year value in the record, so the string being returned looks like Fiscal YearM1How do we get the year data from the first column instead of the column header? Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As ParserDimension, ByVal args As ParserArgs) As Object Dim fiscalYear As String() = {"Oct","Nov","Dec""Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep"}

Hello- I'm trying to load Headcount into our Finance model as a statistic. The table has no not data fields, just people records and emp ID. When I try to put a "static value" override of 1.00 in the "Amount" source dimension, I get an error stating no data records were found. Any help on how I can load # of records to the "Amount" in the Data Source? This is a Rest API connection to UKGThank You!

What is the best approach to point to a different field in a Direct Connection Data Source. I am familiar with importing both local and USD currency (not using translation) by selecting the appropriate columns in a Delimited File, and this has worked fine in the past. I am now trying to do the same in Direct Connection to a Data Source. I tried using the Set and Get Global Variable as shown below, but the results are not as expected. For example I am expecting a USD value of 15482.72 and it is returning 22.61, this value is not even close in the set of data rows returned by the SQL query. Here is the complex expression I have in the Amount Field:And in the Functional Functional currency field I have the following complex expression: Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Hello,I was wondering if it's possible to change the workflow year to show FY20XX instead of just 20XX. In our legacy system we used FY20XX as our current year and we would like to continue with that style. I cannot seem to find a spot where to change it but I've seen images of other workflows with the year showing FY20XX. Thanks, Will

Hello Everyone,    Is there a way to force the composite expression to run before the One To One Rules ?  i am trying to run a complex expression to override values coming from the Source Data. but the One To One Mapping is triggering the mapping, what i want to Select all BS accounts from source based on the Target mapping , and import UD2 as a None Value . Instead what is happening is that all the BS accounts with UD2 value are being Mapped based on the One To One mapping i did for the PL Accounts. and i only want the PL accounts to have a UD2 Value.

Hello - we would like to move specific Forms and Adj data from one application to another - data are extracted via Data Export in DM, does anyone have an example of the Extensibility Rule (BRApi.Finance.Data.SetDataCellsUsingUsingCsvFile) to load the extract data? Many thanks - Wei

Hi, I have a data management step/data management sequence that use member dialog parameters, which means users are prompted for the parameters selection when running them. I have attached the data management sequence to a Pre-process step of a workflow (via calculation definition, setting the filter value equal to the data management sequence name and using a DataQualityEventHandler rule). However, when running the Pre-process step the data management sequence runs using the default values for the parameters and users are not prompted for the parameters selection. How do I make so that users are prompted for the parameters selection when running the Pre-process step?

I have Import/validate/Load workflow.After the validation step , I want to run a business rule that can do the following -1. Sum up the amount for all records with the same Product code in the transformed table.2. Check if SUM = 0 for individual product code.3. If step2 is validated for all product code , then proceed for LOAD step, else error out.PS- I know this can be achieved via a confirmation rule but i want to validate before loading to the cube.One idea that i thought is to execute a validation in the transformation rule but that validation limits to record by record whereas I am looking for validation post all transformation.Thanks! 

We created Extensibility BRs that leverage WIN SCP commands to send data from OneStream to an internal directory using an SFTP connection setup with OneStream.  The data files are being received with a .filepart extension.  We were able to get the .filepart feature disabled in our OneStream environment; however, the csv files are continuing to be received with the additional .filepart extension.  Any suggestions on how to eliminate .filepart extension when files are sent / received?

With SQL Connector as Data Source, can we automate to Import, Validate and Load multi period and multiyear data (Ex: Jan 2023 till Jan 2026) in such a way the Import, Validate and Load occurs one period after the other sequentially?Query execution times are much lesser when pulling one period at a time Vs pulling ALL 36 periods together, so I want to explore this option.

Hello, Has anyone used the DataManagementEventHandler business rule before and identified the CalculationType of the DM (i.e. Force Calculate, Consolidate...)? And also the Data Unit and the POV of the DM? Colud anyone share an example? Thanks in advance,

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
