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?

My client needs me to capture foreign characters apart from regular English as part of Account Metadata.

Hello,While trying to import data through a workflow from a *CSV file I am getting the error from below when performing the Load step of the workflow: These are the only details of the error, in the Task Activity there are no relevant details for this error.This seems to be a generic error. Could this be related to the workflow setup or is it something else?Thank you. 

Hi All!,  My team and I have placed a JE event handler with restrictions for preparer and approver (where preparer can't approve his/her own JEs - Approve/reject/post & Unpost) along with JE email notification.In this Scenario where a user has both Preparer and Approver access, submits JE through excel, his/her JE is getting directly approved without considering the restrictions we have placed in the JE event handler but when done manually it's working as expected. below is our BR. any help will be greatly appreciated.    Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As JournalsEventHandlerArgs) As Object Try Dim returnValue As Object = args.DefaultReturnValue args.UseReturnValueFromBusinessRule = False args.Cancel = False 'Evaluate the operation type in order to determine which subroutine to process Select Case args.OperationName 'SUBMITTED - Notifiy Approver Case Is = BREventOperationT

Hello, Is it possible to remove user defined dimension association from cube (Application>Cubes>Cube Dimensions)? We've an unused dimension initially created but now we'd like to remove it, as all data is loaded at None member. But when we try to change that UD7 dimension setting to default (RootUD7Dim), it throws below error: "Error updating cube. Unable to modify cube 'CUBENAMEXXXX' dimensions because the cube has data."   I know that error is because we've loaded data already but just wondering if there's a way to get rid of this dimension from cube.   Thanks, Gaurav  

Hi, I have a requirement to report on transaction currency. Is there a way for me not to use any UDs to hold the transaction currency? May be  using the alternate input currency in flow? Any suggestion is appreciated . Thanks

What alterantive solution you have build for Workforce Planning. I don't want to use People Planning Market place solution. 1) Run calculations inside the cube by storing all employee information. 2) Relational Table + Cube. Can you give me a top level design where i can start with ? Thanks!

Hi All! We had gotten an ad hoc request to give certain access and restrictions to Preparer Users and Approver Users. Where the Preparer can complete workflow and revert workflow and the Approver can only certify in the Workflow profile. We have been able to successfully achieve restriction on completing workflow for the Approver but not able to restrict them from stopping the Revert workflow. Even after placing conditions to stop the revert workflow the certify is also getting restricted for the approver.below is the code without any restrictions for Revert workflow for now.  if anyone has resolution for this it will be greatly appreciated.  

Hi All,In HFM we can extract data from one application/Instance and load it into another application using the data load option (.dat file). Do we have a similar feature where we can extract data from one OneStream application and load it into another application/Instance?Thanks,Anand Thota

Hello,I have a very peticular situation, where the parent workflow is validated and finalized, while the children are not !Now, I can't validate any children workflow, because the parent is already validated...Do you have anything that would help re-initialize the workflow, whitout having to remove all data ?Regards,

We have a cube view with Entity Hierarchy in rows displaying values in local currency at the base level and USD at parent level. columns are CY Amount, PY Amount, Variance, Variance %, Currency Change Note - Currency Change is always reflected in USD(both at base and Parent Level) Formula for currency change = (CY Avg Rate - PY Average Rate)* CY Amount (conversion to USD) Problem Statement  Currency Change is displaying correct values at the base level entity, but when rolling up its showing a 0 because the CY Amount at Parent level always shows in USD so the conversion rate by default is 1.   I am looking for a solution to have the Currency Change apply only at the base level and the parent should be a rollup of the base. see screenshot below. Looking forward to some inputs here!      

Hi, We have a cascade entity structure, where one of the sub-elements consolidates up to a certain period, and after that period the other begins to consolidate. Entity A1 has an investment in Entity B11. Consolidating 2019M12, the application calculates an elimination of consolidated reserves in both parents Entity B1 & Entity B2, regardless of the fact that Entity B2 does not consolidate until 2022M8. I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar problem and has been able to solve it. Thank you, Sara

In a Spreadsheet (TableView) business rule, I am trying to reference the view created during the load of a BiBlend Star Schema. In our case when I create the BiBlend Star Schema tables, I also see that a view is automatically created that links the dimension tables to the fact table. I would like to read this view as my datasource for my table view. I added the line the following line:     sql.AppendLine("FROM vBIB_OneStreamDevelopment_COPA_AnalysisImport_COPA_BiBlend_2023M6") When I open the Table View in the OneStream spreadsheet I get the error message "Invalid object name 'vBIB_OneStreamDevelopment_COPA_AnalysisImport_COPA_BiBlend_2023M6'. I can read this view using a Data Adapter without issue, but when I embed in a Table View rule I get the above error.

Hello OneStream Experts, Our consultant team has build custom Seeding dashboard for us to seed data but I would like to add confirmation before my admins click on seeding button to make sure they got source and target right.   Do we have anything in OneStream where I can have msgbox or some kind of message to double check source and target section?   Saurin

Hey All. I have a cube view for a client that contains a decently sized row count. I don't really understand why Data Explorer will only format the cube view to have 4 rows per page. Does the red paging mean anything?

Hello, I'm attempting to leverage the UD8 Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) business rule as a dynamic calculation.   The formula works great on most intersections, but I keep getting this error message on certain intersections: --> Unable to execute formula for member 'xxx'. Value was either too large or too small for a Decimal.    Does anyone know what is causing this our how I can overcome?  Even a single intersection error wrecks my cubeview presentation as you can see with the attached image.   I'm able to recreate the math in excel and the result doesn't seem unwieldy, so I'm not sure how to resolve.    Thanks, SeanUD8 CAGR Business RuleError Message being thrownMath - highlighting intersection with error via a QuickView

Hi All, We are trying to load more than 100 rows through a table view using the method NumberOfEmptyRowsToAdd in the Business Rule: tv is our table view object.  However, when we add a value bigger than 100 in the code, no rows are available to load data in the Spreadsheet. We think is an internal limitation from Onestream to optimize performance. Is there any way to increase this limit? Maybe is only possible with some additional admin privileges in OS?
