Hello OS Community,   I noticed there was a variable for suppressing no data records when using the FdxExecuteDataUnit function.  Is there a way to bypass zero data records?   Thanks in advance for your help! Clifton

Good afternoon, How can I pass a parameter selection from a Button/Combo Box to a URL within a text editor component. The client would like to select the UD4 and have it retrieve a Word doc / Text Editor for that selected UD4. I have the current URL in the text editor as this: Documents/Public/DashboardFiles/|!Fin_Dept_Select_ColSet!|.docx   Thank you, Stephen

Within the scenario dimension does the workflow tracking frequency / Start Time / Finish time affect the forms templates form frequency? We had scenarios that run for 4 months with the start month and workflow month being the same, the quarterly/half year forms worked as expected. We have since changed the work flow start and end times to be the full calendar year (all 12 months), but this has caused the the quarterly/half yearly forms to no longer appear in the workflow. They only appear if the frequency is set to monthly. Can anyone explain before i raise a ticket? Thanks      

Hey everyone! I've added a new department to my application and just realized it's not showing up as an option when I'm adding a new headcount-- see screenshot below. Has anyone seen this? I added 7 other departments together and none of them have this issue. I don't know where else to look for errors so any tips would be greatly appreciated.    

Hi all,I'm having an issue whereby I'm importing profit and loss actual's data via a csv file into one of the data upload workflow steps we have set up.However some of the data is being loaded into months it shouldn't be, even though on the in the csv file the data is pointing to the correct time period.So for example in the upload file, data is put against time periods such as 2023M1, 2023M2 etc. Having imported the data, validated it and loaded it to the reporting cube we have, some of the data is being loaded into 2023M1 and also 2023M2, when on the upload file it's only on there once against 2023M1.I've checked the transformation rules and everything is set up correctly in terms of translating the import file, so I was wondering if anyone has come across this type of issue before or if anyone has any advice as to where I could look next?I'm pretty new to OneStream so any help would be much appreciated.Thanks,Ged

I have a set of Controller level users for Audit reasons don't have access to load or modify data.  I am wanting them to be able to enter Variance Comments.  The answer maybe obvious, but I wanted to be sure.  Do I have to grant them access to load data to these data points to be able to also enter their comments?

Hi , I was wondering if anyone who has implemented OneStream has come up against issues from their IT Security people with OneStream decision not to empoly a Web Applcation Firewall (WAF) as standard. This seems to be a common requirement of most IT Security governance approvals so I'd be interested in seeing if anyone has had this issue and how they resolved/accomodated it.   many thanks   Steve

Hello, Does anyone know how to turn off the Quickpost function for journal entries?  Regards, Ronnie Karpinski

Hi, I noticed that when exporting a workflow/cubeview to excel the default save location of that file is C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\OneStream. The local IT group policy is to empty that folder upon rebooting the computer. This path is not setup in my own/local excel options. Is there a way to change this folder location to for example 'downloads'?

Is it possible to change the Fiscal Year Month Type in the time profile after an application has had data loaded to it? For example from Fixed Weeks 4-4-5 to Calendar Month?   

Our team has been working through an Infrastructure project, which requires pulling task activity from the Framework Database.  When pulled directly from the database, we see task activity type in numeric format.  To get the descriptions I ran an comparison by extracting the Task Activity dashboard tool and was able to identify the below descriptions:  (CASEWHEN a.TaskActivityType= -1 THEN 'Unknown'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=10 THEN 'Recycle Application Server'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=100 THEN 'Get Data Cells'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=101 THEN 'Get Data Cells Using Script'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=110 THEN 'Cube View'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=111 THEN 'Cube View Report'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=112 THEN 'Export Cube View To Excel'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=120 THEN 'Quick View'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=200 THEN 'Book'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=1000 THEN 'Data Management'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=1100 THEN 'Data Management Scheduled Task'WHEN a.TaskActivityType=2000 THEN 'Load And Transform'WH

Hi all,I have an issue whereby I'm loading our company actuals into OneStream, but if a General Ledger code has no data in it but had data in previous months, I think OneStream assumes the YTD value to be zero and so the opposite total of the previous months is being loaded.So for example the YTD total of repairs & maintenance may be £100 at Apr-22, and in May-22 there are no further transactions so the YTD position is still £100. However as no transactions occurred in May, when the data is loaded      -£100 appears in May.I've checked the DateSource and TransformationRules we have set up, I cant see a reason why this would be happening as it's all set up as 'Periodic', and so only the data from the initial load should be include.Does anyone have any ideas as to where the problem my lie, or where I could look to try and see why this is happening?Many thanks,Ged

Hi,I have persistent derived figures in some calculated accounts that I cannot delete.My account is set with ZeroViewFoNonAdj = YTD, but for some reason the derived figures still appear in Grey in my Cube View:Is there an soft way to clear or reset this (except a Clear/ reset scenario) ?Thank you.Aurélien 

Hi All, Need some help in updating properties of scenario member through an extensibility rule. 'Workflow Time scenarioProperties.WorkflowTime.SetStoredValue(BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, DimType.Time.Id, objUtil.GetCycleFirstQuarter(si, api)))   'Workflow Start TimescenarioProperties.WorkflowStartTime.SetStoredValue(BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, DimType.Time.Id, objUtil.GetWorkflowStartTimeForScenario(si, api)))   'Workflow End TimescenarioProperties.WorkflowEndTime.SetStoredValue(BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, DimType.Time.Id, objUtil.GetWorkflowEndTimeForScenario(si, api)))   The rule compiles fine however fails on execution. Error message received: Error updating member. Invalid parameter 'WorkflowTime'. Would someone please guide me with the correct way to achieve this?

Hi everyone, I have been looking in the marketplace to see if there is any tutorial about 'Best practice' to set up Securities in OneStream. I couldn't find anything. Do you have any approach to suggest? Do you use the Child/Parent group often? It seems like it could become quite messy.. Any comment is very appreciated Thank you in advance

Hi All, Has anyone set up a new scenario to load stub period data and is willing to share your experience. I will need to produce financial reports for the full year 2022 and partial year from Aug-22 to Dec-22.  So, I am thinking of copying Aug-22 to Dec-22 actual data to another scenario “Actual22”.  The data will be in USD to avoid translation issues.  However, I am not sure if I should use the same Scenario Type “Actual” for “Actual22” because of the business rules set up in Flow Dimensions for the opening, movements and closingCalc.  What do I need to change if I use Scenario Type “Actual” or another Scenario Type?  What are the other considerations I have missed? Please shed some light. Thank you in advance!

Hi All,We're currently trying to map IC relationships in the transformation rules where the source data doesn't contain this field. We can map this based on the GL account from the ERP system but just unsure on how to do this in OneStream. Essentially we'd like to use 1-1 mapping but based a different column other than the IC in the source, is this possible?Thanks,

Hi,Is there a way to find the primary node or secondary node of a member with alternate hierarchies in OneStream like the default parent of a member in Hyperion HFM?

Hello, This is in reference to accepted code sample posted for adding a dimension member through an Extender Business Rule. https://community.onestreamsoftware.com/t5/Accepted-Code-Samples/Extender-Auto-Create-Member/ta-p/6921 SaveMemberInfo Want to understand which tables are impacted by execution of the routine SaveMemberInfo. Does this make entry to the following tables? Member MemberDescription MemberProperty Relationship RelationshipProperty Please mention if I have missed some table here. Also, the article says that audit information is not stored with this save routine. Kindly confirm if below are the audit tables which should have the relevant details: AuditMember AuditMemberDescription AuditMemberProperty AuditRelationship AuditRelationshipProperty Would like to understand in general what information do below tables store?

Hi All, Is there any utility rule available which helps to take backup of all the components of the application? This can then be scheduled to take daily/weekly application back ups.  Any leads would be appreciated.  

Hi All, I am trying to get my member formula to calculate an unbalanced balance sheet and I built a Quick View to see the calculation. However, it does not seem to be calculating anything with the member formula.    The following is the member formula under 'Calculation Out of Balance'   If ((Not api.Entity.HasChildren()) And (api.Cons.IsLocalCurrencyForEntity())) Then   api.Data.Calculate("A#Calc_OOB:U1#Manual_Input:F#EndBalLoad:I#None = A#Total_Assets:F#EndBalLoad:I#Top - A#Total_Liability_Equity:U1#Calculations:F#EndBalLoad:I#Top")   End If Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
