How to improve the business rule performance using Parallel.ForEach() in OneStream. 

Hi, we are using a Central Load workflow to load trial balances for ~1,500 entities(set up as unrelated entities).  There are then approx 50 "Central Import" workflows where Entities are assigned and specific work is performed.  The central load file pulls all entities and will be loaded at least daily.  There are going to be cases when one workflow is certified and another still needs to be reloaded.  The import, however, fails in order to avoid loading data to a certified Entity.  Looking for any help on settings or BR to bypass already certified entities. Thanks

Hello OS experts, I have BR that load P&L bucket and one BR that loads my BS bucket. I have DM sequence which load P&L,BS and then does consolidation etc. I want to know if I am able to write new BR or something I can do in DM to load P&L and BS data parallel to save time. Let me know your thoughts and example code if you are doing it at your job. ThanksSaurin *Migrated from onestream champions

1. Why is the "Total number of stored records" same across all months for one year ?  

SOURCE: ONESTREAM CHAMPIONS Hi - I am trying to create a journal entry summary report, and am able to get most of my data from the application tables, however the created by, submitted by, etc user data are all just the unique identifiers, and not actual user names. Currently I only know of user names being kept in the Framework database location, in the SecUser table (or similar ones). Is there specific syntax I can use that will allow me to read from that database location (Framework) while running an SQL query capturing the rest of my data in the application database location through a dashboard data adapter? Or does this need to be done using a business rule to combine two tables? Thanks.

Hi,I'm trying to use a csv file from a filepath as a data source for my connector. Have saw this function in OneStream parser rule, I tried but it gives me an object reference error without any clue on the error message.api.Parser.ProcessTextFile(si, filePath, api.ProcessInfo, Nothing)with the following syntax Has anyone tried it before or have encounter the same issue as I am?How can I make it work?Thanks in advance for your response.

Hello,   I am requesting some assistance. I am trying to write a business rule that will exclude " 1 account and 1 department combination" from and entire rollup. For example, the all included account that is pulling is A#equip_rev and I am trying to exclude Account#410000, Dep#190 from the rule. Do anyone know how I should right that rule to exclude that account/department combination? Your help and feedback is greatly appreciated. 

I would like to reference in a BRAPI rule text stored in the workflow profile's Substitution Text Settings.  Can someone provide an example how to do this please. 

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  

Hi All,   I have created new Transformation Group and Profile ,If i try to link my group with Profile by using "Manage profile Members" icon i am not able to see the group name in the Available Groups list. Do we need to change any settings for that? Can anyone suggest?   Thanks, Dhanitha.

Hi, We will be setting up tables using Table Data Manager to store some filtered extract of application data. My question is how can on-prem folks access these tables? We were wondering whether we should just use on-prem database and use BR to extract the data to those on-prem tables. But this means we have to rely on IT to maintain those staging tables and access.  I prefer keeping the tables in Onestream app and give access to those tables. Thank you, Mikki

Is Application build for administrators course available in OS Navigator?  I have seen reference to the ABA course in  Administration Certification Exam Prep – December 2022 webinar, but can't locate the actual course link in Navigator. Thank you

Hello,Currently a brand new customer and I was wondering if there's a way to automate currency loads from a SQL table to load into OneStream? We were told there was a way, but our consultants are telling us its not possible?Can it be done through a Workflow using Data Manager? Thanks,Will

Hi all, Happy New Year! Is there a way of extracting an active entity list from OneStream including Entity Name, Description, and Currency fields by using a data management job? Any ideas will be appreciated. Thank you!  

When trying to update another user's workflow view within OS, I'm seeing the following error. Replacing the current file with an updated xml works but I would like to avoid that if possible. Any ideas?    

Hi, I'm getting this error on different applications in my OS instance. Apologies if it is not relevant to this forum.

Happy Feb! how do I sync Prod with DEV ? We made a lot of changes to DEV over the past 5 months - but didn't upload all of our changes.  We are thinking of exporting a complete extract of metadata, Cubeviews, dashboards, datamanagement, DataSources to xml from DEV - then delete all metadata, Cubeviews, dashboards, datamanagement, DataSources before uploading our extract to PROD?  Both servers are in different physical locations and therefore have different firewalls. Is there an article regarding life-cycle management for OneStream ?  

I have a business rule that requires referencing aggregated divisional (entity) data several times over the course of the rule.  Base level entities run their rules and at a point in the rule, the entity needs the aggregated divisional result and so a consolidation to division. Can the data management jobs for consolidation have the consolidation filter set to C#Aggregated and the rule get the correct aggregated divisional numbers from the consolidation?  Or, is C#Aggregated only for data reporting?  Does the rule POV need to use C#aggregated when referencing divisional entity data or can this left out of the rule?  I have run some tests and the answer seems to be yes, DM jobs with C#aggretated produce data that can be referenced in rules and no, the rule does not need C#aggregated in its divisional entity POV.  Can anyone comment on this more?  Thanks.

Hi. I've created a multiselect parameter where the selection will be passed into another parameter.

We have a requirement for ALL users that log in, to acknowledge a set of system messages before gaining access to the application.  Other off the shelf applications have this capability built-in.  If it does not exist in OneStream, would the best approach be to create a dashboard and make that the home page for all users?

Hi, how many periods can be loaded and validated at once?  I have the need to load 360 periods, but I seem to be getting timed out. thanks,Greg 

Hello, Is it possible to modify datamanagement job description on the fly ? We want adding more info for monitoring issues.  

Hi all, I created a workflow Import profile with the Workspace/Import/Validate/Load steps. Inside the Workspace step, I added a Dashboard that has a button, which, in turn, has an Extensible BR that executes the following:Downloads a file from an external source and leaves it in the file ShareAfter that, this file is imported with the Import step through a Dashboard Extender BR called from the same Extensible Rule, which Imports, Validates and Loads the same workflow profile.I would like to see the Taskbar progress and also to automatically refresh the workflow profile status:If the button launches the Extensible Rule, I see the Taskbar progress but the workflow status is not automatically refreshed.If the button launches the Dashboard Extender BR, the workflow is automatically refreshed but the Taskbar progress is not shown.Could we have both functionality? Have you seen it before? If yes, could anyone send me an example of the code us

Hi,We are seeing the below issue on data load process.we always see the last file uploaded, it seems if you upload another before one is deleted.If you upload another file you will see only that one and not the rest of the files.We want to see the all upload files .Please suggest.Regards,Rk
