Hi all,I have a DynamicCalc account where the Text6 property is populated. I also created a UD8 member that dynamically retrieves the POV account and returns its Text6 property. In my Cube View, I set the POV for this UD8 column to Annotation.This works well for all non-DynamicCalc accounts... I can successfully retrieve and display the Text6 property in the Cube View. However, for DynamicCalc accounts, the Text6 property doesn't appear. It seems like OneStream can't resolve the property for DynamicCalc members in this context.Has anyone encountered this behavior? Thanks in advance!UD8 member filter: 

Hi all, Does anyone happen to have the correct syntax for an XML file that modifies a single attribute (member property) and can be uploaded to OneStream without resetting other member properties? A bit of background, I have to add content to the Text7 field of over 3000 members.  I tried one version of a XML that only referred to the Text7 property for a single memberBut when I loaded the xml, some (but not all) of the properties for that member reverted back to original defaults.  On the plus side, it DID update the Text 7 field. I'm clearly not defining my XML properly so if anyone has an example of the syntax I can use to update a property without affecting anything else, I would love to see it. I realize I can extract all 3000 members to an XML, but if the Text7 property is not assigned anything, then that property doesn't get included in the extract (otherwise I could simply do a global search/replace):  in order to fix this I would have to write a script to r

Hi everyone, I have an issue in understanding how to implement multiple import steps within a workflow. My client will load data through a classing import step throughout all the months of the year. In addition to that, they asked to set up 3 additional import steps (P13, P14, P15) to be used in December that will serve as "adjustments" to the previous data loaded on the cube. At each import step, however, the data will be loaded in full (with eventual adjustments) and should overwrite the data loaded through previous import steps (and this is the reason why we don't use forms but we use multiple import steps). For example, when P13 is loaded, it should overwrite the data loaded through the Import step, and when P14 is loaded it should overwrite the data loaded through P13, and so on. The problem now is that since we are using a different workflow profile at each step, the system does not automatically overwrite the data loaded through the previous workflow profile, and therefore the

Hello dear community members, Background: We have had situations with month end workflow load validation errors which were fixed with UD1 mass upload. Few UD1 members ended up in Orphans, as the Parent did not exist yet in OneStream at the members mass upload step. The validation error disappeared and the workflow was complete. However, this created an Out of Balance and it was difficult to retrieve the issue.  Questions/potential solutions help required: Would it be possible for the month end Workflow load Validation error to ignore Orphan members and still get an error even when we create members and end up by mistake in Orphans. Is there a way to delete Orphan members with a BR? Is there a way to stop the Metadata builder xml file to create Orphans when a parent is missing from OneStream? Thank you in advance for any idea/suggestion/tip/hint.

I am looking to upgrade from 7.1 to 8.  In the process of compiling dashboard extender rules, I get the following warning message.Warning at line 50: 'Public Overloads ReadOnly Property TaskInfo As XFSelectionChangedTaskInfo' is obsolete: 'This is a temporary function used by Marketplace Solutions for backwards compatibility with old XF versions. Please change your code to use supported functionality. Use SelectionChangedTaskInfo instead.'. Question.  Is there an alternative syntax that will achieve the same result?  As best as I can decipher, the code in question (below) is to retrieve the value from the bound parameter LastActMonth_BDA into a new variable titled newLastActMth.Dim newLastActMth As String = args.TaskInfo.CustomSubstVars("LastActMonth_BDA")

I would like to use a parameter value in a KPI in my API_Calculate business rule. I have a literal value parameter and we will change the default value ahead of time to control which formula runs. I'm trying to pull the current default value with the following: Dim param As String = BRApi.Dashboards.Parameters.GetLiteralParameterValue(si, False, Nothing, "myFlag") When it gets to that line it throws a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".  Any ideas?

HI, OS has report to verify extensibility. I wanted to know based on exp that what happen when report has an error from technical perspective. We have some ragged hierarchy to full fill our req, but report shows an error so trying to understand if consolidation won't work if that is the case. By they are in UD. 

Hi ,  I am trying to use the V#Trailing2-12MonthTotals in my reports. Could any expert users please advise if the TrailingTotal in View Dimension works only for P&L numbers or they work for Balance Sheet and Retained Earnings totals also.  Any reponse will be much appreciated.  Thanks Sam  

Hi all,I tried to issue an api.Data:calculate with the following (fake) formula :A#ACCXXX:F:MYFLOW:S#MYSCEN = A#ACC001:F#CHI:S#ACTOf course OS complains because I'm reading from the current Scenario (ACT) but I want to write in a different Scenario that implies a different Data Unit (is it ?)While being in ACT scenario, if I would switch to DataBuffers to write in the destination Scenario (is it?)Could someone point me in the right direction ? I did this, but looks like it doesn't write a **bleep** !Dim _srcDC As DataCell = api.Data.GetDataCell("A#ACC001:F#CHI:S#ACT")Dim _targetDB As New DataBuffer()Dim _dcNew As DataCell = New DataCell(_srcDC)_dcNew.SetScenario(api, "MYSCEN") ' This WON'T CHANGE <===================_dcNew.SetAccount(api, "ACCXXX") ' This Change_dcNew.SetFlow(api, "MYFLOW") ' This Change_targetDB.SetCell(si, _dcNew)api.Data.SetDataBuffer(_targetDB, _destinationInfo)In the end, works fine... just doesn't change the Scenario... :-/ What am I doing wrong ? &n

Hi Team, In our report we are having multiple formula's in row and columns (Can't apply the row or column overrides). So, have created a UD8 Dynamic calc. though after applying the UD8 member in column, row formula is overring the UD8. Can please help us to resolve the issue.  

When using the BRAPi.Utilities.ExecuteFileHarvestBatchParallel function in an Extender BR, does anyone have any guidance and/or opinions on the proper setting of the parallelBatchCount parameter? My understanding has always been to set it to a maximum of the number of CPUs - 1 , available for the server performing data management or batch load processing.

Hello,Do you know how many groups I can create in each of the following sections: Data Cell Access Security, Data Cell Conditional, and Data Management Access Security?Thank you!Hoa 

I'm currently trying to export the account dimension members and their properties through a csv file. I can get all the properties necessary, but I can't get the "Account Type" property through the extender rule.  I'm currently using Account_Type= Brapi.Finance.Members.GetMemberInfo(si,dimTypeId,stkItem.Name,True,Nothing,MemberDisplay).Member.GetType.FullName , to get the account type in columns but it isn't returning the correct account type of the member and instead returning " OneStream.Shared.Common.Member " in the columns.

Hi all,I'm hoping someone can see what I'm doing wrong here.First a question:     Is Scenario access cube specific?  Let's say I have 4 cubes.  Currently all 4 cubes give a user access to all Scenarios.  If I restrict access to a specific scenario for that user in one cube, does that restriction apply across all cubes?  I would assume No - am I wrong? I've been trying to set up restricted scenario access to a group of users in a certain cube.  I don't want to touch overall security for the Scenario because there are multiple regions that need access.  I've tried to set this up via Slice security (Data Access directly on the Cube) by using a Where clause in the Scenario definition for every group identified in the Data Access (i.e. Planning.Base.Where(Name DoesNotContain X).  This doesn't appear to be working.The User themself, has access to multiple cubes and there is no restriction to that scenario in those other cubes.So is it all or

Hi I tried to put Dashboard in Report (Onestream Book) but not able to see any dashboard details in the book. Its dashboard report is stage data filtered. Also, can we add the dashboard in excel Book ? Can you please help me with the parameter?    

Hello, I have an account that is calculated via a business rule. I don't want end users to input into the account manually. If I set the account to allow input = false, will my business rule still be able to input data into the account? Or do I need to leave it set to allow input = true, but make sure every cube view that uses the account does not allow manual input? Thank you.  

Hi  I have been trying to dynamically update the short name for UD3 but somehow the i am not getting the result. Not sure where i am wrong. Please help  

Hello,Working with a client and implementing a marketplace solution that potentially requires us to go to a year that is before the start year of the application. Is there any harm in changing the start year to an earlier year? Those years will not be used for their normal operations nor feed data to the cube, so not sure if there would be an issue changing this. Any thoughts?Thanks,AJ

We are looking for some help in direction to build dynamic member addition to a dimension using extensible business rule in version 9.0 We have tried to use the code that is used in earlier versions which uses declaration like "Dim newMember As New Member" but it does not work anymore in version 9 as it gives error when assigning values to newMember.Name property and some search suggests that we now need to use "Dim newMember As New MemberEx" Using this declaration results in error compiling the business rule. We are looking for some help/direction on this.

Hi all,I need to set up a complex expression to assign a specific value to the U6 dimension based on 2 source fields. Below part of the list of those source fields.The code I set up for the complex expression is the following:Dim fields As List(Of String) = api.Parser.DelimitedParsedValues() Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Field count (List.Count): " & fields.Count) If fields.Count > 4 Then Dim loadedAccount As String = fields(4) Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "loadedAccount: '" & loadedAccount & "'") If Left(loadedAccount, 2) = "00" Then Return Right(loadedAccount, 8) End If Else Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "WARNING: only " & fields.Count & " fields; skipping Account logic") End IfEvery time I launch the loading process, however, it prints the WARNING message for all the rows, as if it didn't find any source field.Am I doing something wrong / is there an alternative way to retrieve the fields values that I am not considering?Th

Hi Do we have any quick way of resetting/clearing the data with Business Rule which has been loaded into the cube via WF profile (O#Import)? 

Hi everyone,I'm currently working on a dashboard that, through the use of a SQL table editor, will show data stored in a table. Below an example of one row from that table:The interface of the SQL table editor allows me to filter the data to show only specific rows, and I added a filter for the columns T_ENTITY and PERIOD: The first filter (T_ENTITY) works as expected. The second filter should filter out those rows in the table whose Period differs from the one selected by the user in the WF. Nevertheless, if I use |WFTime| as parameter, it doesn't show any row, even those that have the same Period as the WF. If I instead replace |WFTime| with the static period (es 'PERIOD = '2022M11'),  it works fine. The conclusion I take is that |WFTime| is not equal to the current WF period. To check that out, I added the following label to the dashboard header, setting its value equal to |WFTime|:and it shows exactly the current WF period:Is it possible that the parameter |WFTime| d

I using UD8 to call master data of entity. Other master data is work, but there is issue when I call entity parent. Seem like the business rules is not working. Not sure where the missing part.

Hi Community,I have a question. I'm working with a SQL table editor and need to implement dependent dropdowns. Specifically, based on the value selected in the first column, I want the second column to display a corresponding set of dropdown options.Is this possible to achieve? If so, could you suggest any approach that can help me implement this functionality?Thank You!

Hi, I am trying to load the data from a file into the cube (import validate load steps) via Business Rule and while I am able to load it successfully. I am not sure how to reset it if the job fails in between. For instance: Data pulled from the file gets failed at validate step due to some transformation rule issue. Now if I trigger the rule again , it will not do anything as import step is already completed. I need it to reset clear the cache from stage and redo the load process again when the business rule is triggered. Can you please assist? Below is the code being used
