OneStream 7.4.1 (On-Prem)Looking to upgrade to 7.4.2.Has anyone developed a strategy to upgrade OneStream with minimal downtime?  Uninstalling and reinstalling the application takes time, and I would like to avoid as much downtime as possible.I am using 1 server for everything.I was thinking I could install 7.4.2 in another folder, but I believe the install would attempt to create the same IIS app pools that already exist.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi ! I want to confirm a data management behaviour... Right now I have data in a driver on Entity 9999, that I need in order to calculate data on entity 1032. The output should be on entity 1032. I am using a data management job where the DUCS are set for Entity 1032. However when I run the DM, my data buffer is not getting any data for Entity 9999. I think somewhere someone mentioned that using SetDataBufferVariable you can retain data in the whole Data Management sequence, so I tried to change the Data Management DUCS to "E#9999, E#1032". But the variable seem to be cleared when cycling to the second entity. Then my question is : How can I get my data buffer to "read" data from another entity (E#9999) when my data management job run on E#1032 ?   Here's my code which obviously doesn't work at the moment. The goal is simply to have databuffer1 get data from Entity 9999, and databuffer2 to get data from current entity 1032: Dim dbr1 As DataBuffer = NothingIf api.Pov.Enti

We have several parser rules that are running on our connector to d365. Is there a way to see what the affect on run time is from each of these rules?  Do these rules run on all data that is queried from our connection or just new data?

Hi all,I'm working on a Business rule that will be triggered as soon as a user clicks on a button within a dashboard.Is there a way to retrieve the Username of the user that clicks on the button? Thanks in ad

Creating a post for custom coloring in dashboards.   For example, Onestream's dashboard selections give the option for custom color, however, it does not let you select it in the formatting. It only shows the option for #FF00000 (at least from what I have seen).   The above format is HTML coloring codes that can be manually updated in the display format Typically when matching client colors I am given RGB color codes, So I use the below converter to get the HTML code and add #FF to the beginning of the provided hex code.   https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_converter.asp

Hello - is there a way to make the below work inside GetDataBufferUsingFormula .Getting Error processing script 'V#Periodic:F#EndBal_Input:A#:U1#USF02'.Dim SrcDataBuffer As DataBuffer = api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula("FilterMembers(V#Periodic:F#EndBal_Input:S#Actual:T#" & sLastActMth & ":U1#" & mCostCenter.Member.name & ",[A#[PNL].Base.Where((Name StartsWith '4') or (Name StartsWith '5') or (Name StartsWith '7') or (Name StartsWith 'X'))], [U3#[TopUD3].Base],[U2#[TopUD2].Base])").Looks like not recognizing filter with 'or' inside where clause.  Below works fine without an 'or' condition.Dim SrcDataBuffer As DataBuffer = api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula("FilterMembers(V#Periodic:F#EndBal_Input:S#Actual:T#" & sLastActMth & ":U1#" & mCostCenter.Member.name & ",[A#[PNL].Base.Where(Name StartsWith '4')], [U3#[TopUD3].Base],[U2#[TopUD2].Base])").

Hi, we are currently in the process of Finalizing a Data integration process (via connector) between some temporary staging tables created in the Onestream application (on cloud), but when i try to perform the final step to load the data, the system always returns me the message that allof the rows i'm importing are NON-NUMERIC. Obviously that's not the case. the source table amount column is a numeric format and the amount field in the source field is being mapped to the Amount field in the data source.  Did Anyone experience this?Thanks

We have a workflow that uses Data Management Export Sequence to load the data. Manually we are loading the data fine but I'm looking for any options to automate this process.I have an example if the workflow uses a connector business rule but not sure on the Data Management Export Sequence. If anyone can help, it would be great...!!!

Hey all, I'm struggling to figure out how to define a TableViewColumn to be of type Decimal instead of the default type being Text. I'm in the section where I create a TableViewRowHeader and adding TableViewColumns to it. I can create a new column: Dim myTableViewColumn As New TableViewColumn myTableViewColumn.Name = "Col1" But when I try to set the type to this column, I get an error " Input string was not in a correct format." when trying to retrieve the table: myTableViewColumn.DataType = XFDataType.Decimal Is this syntax correct? I'm assuming that it's in the column definition where I should be defining the datatype but now not so sure. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.   As a side note,  page 15 in the Table Views User Guide makes reference to a function called CreateTableViewColumn. Is this a custom function or part of the OS library. The compiler doesn't recognize this function.    

Is there any way we can use the transformation profile one to one mappings in a data table. Preferable to use in a connecter Drill back code. Is there any Data base table for the same.If not, we have a create a custom XFC table in application DB to refer the same that replicates the transformation profile.

Hi, Is there any way to get DataManagement step failure email notifications? I have one sequence which use some DM steps to perform Clear and Consolidations. I do not want use a business rule to call in a Custom calculation.Thanks for your help in advance. 

Hello, I have a sub folder that is being populated each month with a variety of files, it is different from month to month.  The naming convention of the subfolder is consistent.  It is always the fiscal period.  However when I try to zip the files in the folder I am unable to define a path.  The folder is "Application Database/Documents/Public/" then the fiscal period.  However my code is never able to find it.  I think it is because we are on the cloud.  Any insight on how to define the process for zipping all the files in that folder into one document so it can be sent out through parcel service would be appreciated.Thanks,Tom

I have a process that builds a data buffer using Data Buffer Cell Loop logic. I need to check the cell status on each record and perform certain actions based on the status. Specifically, I want to make sure all 12 Account-Type dimensions are referencing a base member and correct them if they aren't.However, I'm not getting the correct Cell Status when the cell is in a data buffer. For example this code creates two data cells and logs their status. (In this case, I'm looking at DataCells, but the behavior is identical on DataBufferCell objects). Metadata is from GolfStream.: Dim baseMemberFilter As String = "A#50200:O#Import:U2#None:U8#Test" Dim cellPk As DataCellPk = api.Data.ParseDataCellScript(baseMemberFilter) Dim cell As DataCell = api.Data.CreateDataCellObject(cellPk, True, 100, False, False) api.LogMessage("Base UD2 GetMemberScript: " & cell.DataCellPk.GetMemberScript(api)) api.LogMessage("Base UD2 CellStatus.UD2HasChildren: " & cell.CellStatus.UD2HasChildren) Dim

Hi all,the SetDataCell command I am trying to use is behaving in a strange way and I would like to check if that is a bug, if it is by design, or if I may be doing something wrong.I am trying to use the SetDataCell command to clear data on the Origin=Forms. The command looks like this (it is part of a custom calc rule):'Clear data on the Form memberapi.Data.SetDataCell("Cb#Main:E#" & MainPovEntity & ":S#" & MainPovScenario & ":A#AC410000:U1#None:U2#None:U3#" & UD3Name & ":U4#None:U5#Local_GAAP:U6#None:U7#None:U8#None:O#Forms", 0, True)Now, if the UD3 member which I am trying to clear has data on the Origin=Import member, the Forms member is correctly set to zero by the rule. However, if the UD3 member has no data on the Origin=Import member (on that specific Pov intersection defined by the rule above), the Forms member retains its value. Anyone else experienced this behavior? Thank you

Hello All,I found two very instructive discussion on the forum:Extender: Export Metadata via Extender - OneStream Community (onestreamsoftware.com)Solved: Automatic back up of security - OneStream Community (onestreamsoftware.com)But still, if I export all dimensions in one file, the file is very heavy and hard to use. Can anyone tell me how can I make it with business rule?KeithBerry kudos for great solution you provided in another topicKind regardsJarek

Hi All,I am using  FdxExecuteDataUnitTimePivot to export data from onestream cube, everything working as expected except one issue. i.e., I am using consolidation member C#Aggregated beacuse i want to export data for C#aggregated, but FdxExecuteDataUnitTimePivot is exporting data from C#CAD. All our users input data at C#CAD, also default currency on entity is CAD. Just want to know is this the known issue, or FDX designed to export only base currency? Is there any way to pull only C#aggregated with FdxExecuteDataUnitTimePivot.  

Hi Team, can we run or test the business rules or code snippets outside OneStream environment? Do we have any SDK's to setup and test locally?ThanksManju

Hi,  As an admin user I can add and delete rows from a SQL table editor. However a non-admin user does not have access to do so. They can view the data but the add/delete row button on the toolbar are greyed out. Can someone tell me how to give them access to add/delete rows? Thank you Mark

Hello experts,What is the impact of changing assigned entities from one workflow profile to another workflow profile (both being (base input type).Will there be any impact on prior data loads? Are there any other areas we should be careful with this change?Example:Entity A,B and C are assigned to a single workflow profile - WF1 and loaded via WF1.Import. Now, we'd like to divide them further for future loads by creating new smaller workflow profiles such that: WF1 will be stripped of all assigned entities & WF1.Import can be changed to a Central Import type for Entity A, B and C.Entity A is assigned to & loaded by WF2 (new WF created)Entity B is assigned to & loaded by WF3 (new WF created)Entity C is assigned to & loaded by WF4 (new WF created) Thanks,  

Are there any resources for building an external library?  I'm looking to build a dll and getting an ambiguous namespace issue for DbConnInfo.  It appears to be an issue between the OneStream.ClientWindowsBRApi.dll and OneStream.SharedDatabaseTables.dll.
