Workflow and Data Integration

I'm getting this content back from the REST calls to a data adapter: null   Here are some headers:StatusCode: OK, Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8, Content-Length: 4   There is no failure, just a "null" content where JSON should be. There is nothing in the onestream error log. It seems to happen a large percentage of the time (20% or so).  What should I do to investigate?  Is it ever the expected behavior that the API will return HTTP-OK with the word "null"? Using version 6.5.0.12623.      

Hi,I have setup the Global drivers in the People Planning module to be XFCell formulas, so that users can input drivers by Period/Scenario via cube views. The formulas look like this one:(XFCell(Cb#People_Planning:E#RU0451:P#GL1151:C#Local:S#Plan:T#|WFTime|:V#Periodic:A#PP_Acc_Driver_DE007:F#None:O#Forms:I#None:U1#None:U2#None:U3#None:U4#None:U5#None:U6#None:U7#None:U8#None)) The formula works fine as long as the value retrieved is lower than 1000. The reason is that the retrieved value is by default retrieved in the #,###.000 format, which the People Planning module doesn't like. This is an example of error message:Summary: Error processing Data Management Step 'CalculatePlan_PLP'. Unable to execute Business Rule 'PLP_DataMgmt'.

How can I import data for multiple time period all in one go? I was told that its possible. But wondering what settings do I need to change in order to do that.I tried using "Replace All Time" but the Time is set to "Current".  I'm uploading a excel base file. Any guidance on this will be appreciated.  

Hello,I am wondering if you can provide any issues or conflicts that may arise by changing the "Input View For Adjustments" from "Periodic" to "YTD" on a Scenario? How does this impact historical data? What happens to Periodic journals booked in a previous month, do they automatically convert to YTD, or do they stay Periodic? I'm looking for any best practices on making this change. Thanks!Regards,Ronnie Karpinski

Hello: I've integrated a set of transaction details from a GL into a bi-blend cube within OneStream. I'd like to aggregate along the UD1 dimension so we can see the data at the parent level for each transaction. The dimension consists of a set of parents with a few base members rolling up to each one, it's a pretty simple dimension. I'd like to be able to see the parents in a column with the base members in the other column. Note: that the base member is being passed directly form the data source, i.e. It's a pass thru mapping. An example of a parent child relationship is below: Parent: Clubs Base:1000 Base:2000 In the ud1 value column, I'd like to only see "clubs" while in another column I would like to see "1000" and "2000" values in another. I know that in the ud1 when I aggregate this dimension, I'll see the base member and the parent members in the same column for UD1 even if it's the blend unit dim. I'm passing the base values into an attribute. Is the only way to exclude non-bas

I have a loaded set of base data in our People Register, but this needs to be amended to capture New Hires, Leavers, Promotions etc. I had thought that this would be possible by using the excel file template that was used for loading the base data. I've tried doing this for a leaver, where I have manually changed the base entry to show the "to period" as the month that the person leaves and then created an entry in my blank template to show the remainder of the period with no salary (this enables me to build a bridge of starters, leavers etc.) When I load the file the new entry overwrites the row already in the People Register. What I need it to do is to add a row. The load method in the file shows "Merge" and I wonder what I should change this to in order to get the import of the adjustment file to add the adjustment rows rather than overwrite them.      

Hello,   We are using scenario types 1 and 2 to house multiple scenarios. I'm running into an issue where i can't correctly split out the needed scenario forms separetely. For example, The forecast scenario (scenario type 1) shows the budget forms since budget is also under scenario type 1. Is there a way to filter out the different scenarios? Because it's all under Scenario Type 1 the forms I'm using contain all scenario forms needed.   Thanks!   Paula

We are looking at the performance of several huge base data imports.  What are the best practices for setting cache page size and cache pages-in-memory limits for the best possible import performance?    We have broken the data load up into >40 separate imports but we still have some imports taking over 40 minutes.  I am hoping there might be other ways to improve the import time without having to break the data imports up further.  

Hello everyone,Hope you are doing good.I have a little question, im trying to load an excel data file using a time parameter that will allow to put load the workflow time automatically, but OS tell me that |WFTime| is Unmapped.   does anyone know if using the parameter wrongly or shouldi use another parameter ? Thanks in advance for you help.

I have a question regarding Journal Templates. We have a template that was setup with the frequency "All Time Periods." Does that mean this journal will post every month?  I think the setting should have been "Monthly." If I change that setting in the Journal Template, how does it impact historical data? Will it unpost prior close periods? Or will it keep the prior periods as is, but will stop the journal from posting in future periods? 

I have a csv import coming from excel. One of the columns is of type date but when it gets saved into CSV the date is replaced by integers in the format excel uses to store dates. How can I convert those integers back into dates?

Originally posted by Andrea Tout7/10/2019 I have an odd data source if someone can help me. The Data Source works that the second to last column has the data, and the last column has a "cr" if it should be negative. So I wrote this complex expression:   Dim secondarCol As String = api.Parser.DelimitedParsedValues(8).Replace("$",String.Empty)Dim primaryCol As String = api.Parser.DelimitedParsedValues(9).Replace(" ",String.Empty)   If primaryCol = "cr" Return secondarCol.XFConvertToDecimal *-1Else Return secondarCol.XFConvertToDecimalEnd If This errors out, and I have tried a lot of different variations. However, if I pick the cr column to the left of the beginning balance (column 3) it works fine. so I figured out that, it only errors when you try to pull anything on the last column. This is because the file is tab delimited, an if there is no cr in the last column, there is not tab before the last column. This basically makes have of the file 10 columns and the other half 9
