Hi, I get this error when saving data into a particular WP#Workflow S#Scenario T#Time member. Cannot execute step because the specified step classification doesn't exist for the workflow profile When I click OK to the error, when I refresh the data is saved. Any ideas what the problem is? What is a step classification? Thanks G

Hello OS Community.I'm working on a confirmation rule that is supposed to check for the presence of annotations when thresholds are defined. The intended behavior is:If thresholds are present, but no annotation/comment is provided, the rule should fail validation.However, the logic isn't working as expected. Even when no comment is given, the rule still passes and acts as if a comment is provided.Here’s what I need help with Ensuring that the rule correctly identifies missing comments and fails as intended. Identifying what might be wrong in my current logic it seems to incorrectly detect comments even when none exist.Any insights or examples of similar logic would be much appreciated! 

Hello,On version 8.5 (could be earlier, but didn't have a need to try) I am trying to create an embedded cube view that retains excel formatting. When I check mark the preserve excel format this works, BUT when I save the report, close it, and reopen it the cube view itself stays a light font vs black. Once I uncheck preserve excel format it reverts back to the expected black font cube view.....Is this a known issue or a way around it? 

  I have the following cube view in Oneplace and I would like to know if it is possible to create subgroups below the Main group.  For example I would like to create a subgroup of Income Statement report, Revenue reports etc.  They are currently in separate groups in the cube view set up but that does not seem to translate to Oneplace.  We are currently on 7.3.3 and moving to 8.5 in the next month.    

I need to be able to visualize a cube view in english and in spanish.The description of the account member is set in spanish, and if I put something in the 'English' line, because the user security only has the English option in culture, the cube view would come out in english. So i need to be able to add another option for culture in the user security. ¿How can I accomplish this?Thanks!  

Hi Everyone. I would like to know how I can remove zero values in my GetDataBufferUsingFormula. Dim DatabufferCalc As DataBuffer = api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula("FilterMembers(E#" & strParentEntity & ".Base,E#XFMemberProperty(DimType=Entity, Member=|!PerformPnL_Entity!|, Property=Text1).Base:S#[" & strScenario & "]:T#" & strPeriod & ":O#Top:I#None:U1#ALL_DEPARTMENTS:U2#ALL_PRODUCTS:U3#CORP_RPT:U4#ALL_PROJECTS:U5#None:U6#None:U7#None:U8#None,A#411000)") And from the result, I would like to obtain the entity, and from that entity, know its Text1, Text2, and Text3. However, for now, I see that I can only obtain the account and the rest of the properties such as the UD Dim DatabufferCalc As DataBuffer = api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula("FilterMembers(E#" & strParentEntity & ".Base,E#XFMemberProperty(DimType=Entity, Member=|!PerformPnL_Entity!|, Property=Text1).Base:S#[" & strScenario & "]:T#" & strPeriod & ":O#Top:I#None:U1#ALL_DEPART

Hi Team, Generally, In Scenario settings will updated the "Workflow Start Time & Workflow End Time". so here we want to get these workflow time rang in Cube View. (Eg: Work Flow Start Time: 2025M6 & Work Flow End Time: 2026M5). Based on scenario selection in  the report, we should get the (12 periods) time range in report.  Please help us to get the solution. Thank you, Shiva Prasad

Pls share how to run1. a traditional BR via a member formula2. an assembly BR via a member formulaThank you - OS SME.

Is it possible to get this setting in a business rule?Thanks,Scott

Hi,We are currently attempting to load data into the OneStream Workflow Profile using a CSV file. However, we are encountering the following error during the process:We checked many videos and the training courses but couldn't identify where the issues is, Could you please assist us in identifying and resolving the issue?Regards

I have the code below in an Extender BR.  It runs fine if I run it manually in the BR or manually through a DM job.  But when it runs in the Task Scheduler it fails, and I get the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error.  Any thoughts?  Dim wfUnitClusterPk As WorkflowUnitClusterPk = BRApi.Workflow.General.GetWorkflowUnitClusterPk(si, wfProfileName, wfScenarioName, wfTimeName) Dim ImportInfo As New LoadTransformProcessInfo Try ImportInfo = BRApi.Import.Process.ExecuteParseAndTransform(si, wfUnitClusterPk, "", Nothing, TransformLoadMethodTypes.Replace, SourceDataOriginTypes.FromDirectConnection, False) Catch ex As Exception log.AppendLine("Import Done - Status: " & ImportInfo.Status & " - RowCount: " & FormatNumber(ImportInfo.RowCount, 0,,,-1)) log.AppendLine(ImportInfo.ErrorMessage) log.AppendLine("------------------------------") log.AppendLine(ex.GetBaseException.Message.ToString.Trim) End Try  

Hi,Out of Curiosity, Is it possible to update Task Activity.

We are looking to have a cube view that uses a parameter or CV Extender to possibly control the primary dimension selection. This is used in a dashboard to show metadata selections with the dimension in the rows and ud8 dynamic formulas across the columns. Looking to see if anyone has any ideas on doing the dimension selection dynamically to use one CV only for display

Hello, I am trying to update a business rule that is currently set to WFYear to the Global Time. We use the SAP Selector Solution, but I am new to it. Currently the WFYear of the user who schedules a trial balance import impacts what data is being loaded. For example, if the user's WF POV is 2024, then data is pulling from the source for 2024. I appreciate any suggestions.  Original Rule This is one idea I had, I am not sure T#|Global| will work since it is not a local variable. I also don't know if I need to change the "Dim wfYear As String = timeStr.Substring(0,4)" script. Thanks, Ronnie

Hi All, For the folks that upgraded to v8 (preferably 8.4 or 8.5), I have few quick questions. How long it took for the whole process? Did you see the performance improvement? Did you require an extensive end-user testing? How was your overall experience with upgrade. Any lessons learned that you can pass on? Thank you in advance for your time. Cheers PM

hello everyone, do you have any idea if its possible to create a home page button that will link to Application Cube> FX Rates? Thank you

Hi all,it is pretty straight forward in an dashboard extender rule to return a message box to be displayed to the user in the dashboard (like the picture below).The question I have is: is it possible to prompt the user with what I would call an interactive prompt, a prompt having a Yes and No buttons for example, and for the dashboard extender rule code to store the result of the selection for use in the rule code itself? This would be useful when displaying a warning for example. We could prompt the user with the warning and then ask if they still want to proceed or not. Thank you

Hello, I am trying to get my dynamically created buttons to execute a server task. I can create all the buttons I need in my dynamic dashboard, but as soon as I try to get them to execute a dashboard business rule, I get an error message : I have checked my services, and Everything gets validated. My WsDynamiccomponentCollection is as follow : Dim currentcomps As WsDynamiccomponentCollection = api.GetDynamicComponentsForDynamicDashboard(si, workspace, dynamicDashboardEx, string.empty, Nothing, tristatebool.TrueValue, wsdynamicitemstatetype.EntireObject) I am also using the functions SaveDynamicDashboardState and SaveDynamicComponentState : api.SaveDynamicDashboardState(si,dyncomp2,dynamicDashboardEx,wsdynamicitemstatetype.EntireObject)                            api.SaveDynamicComponentState(si,dynamicDashboardEx.DynamicDashboard,dyncompex2,wsdynamicitemstatetype.EntireObject) (dyncomp2 and dyncomp2ex being the butt

We're moving most of the Business Rules to Workspaces Assemblies under PV 8.4.- We have several Extensibility Rules that are run by multiple Data Management (DM) Jobs like you.- Hence, we included separate DM Step Services (DMSS) in the same Service Factory (SF).- The result of this SF setup was chaos.- We saw that launching one DM Job by a given DMSS in the SF will also launch other DM Jobs by their DMSS in the SF. We couldn't find enough practical advice on the SF/DMSS setups in the Design Guide to overcome this chaos.Pls share how to set up Data Management Step Services in a Service Factory to launch one Extensibility Rule/DM Job at a time. TY.

Hi all, I would like to set up a short description of a member so that I can apply different conditional formatting in the cube views. But I don't see such configuration in the metadata, may I know where I can setup this configuration? Thank you.  

Hi All,I am trying to create simple Extender rule to export only the AverateRate FX rates.  I saw this post: What is the most efficient method for exporting FX rates to a CSV file in OneStream? | OneStream Community  But this does them all.  Short of exporting to this file and creating another file from that one.  Does anyone know how I can filter the export to just get the Average Rates?I see the variable xmlOptions.ExtractAllItems = True.  But if I set it to False, I don't see what options I have to filter to specific metadata. I'm open to exploring other options as well.Thanks,Scott 

Hi,I am trying to load data from BiBlend to cube using a import validate load steps on my workflow and using also a connector, but i truggle a bit onthe connector Businessrule, i would like to know how the BR can connect to my biblend table.I have already done a br connector cube to cube, but never a biblend to cube.if you have any example of the script that i can add to my BR in order to connect the BiBlend Data table it would help a lot.Thanks, 

Hello OS Community - We are running into below error while trying to load 1 + million records from SAP via connector business rule. Tried with all the options on Cache Page Size limit, at present it is set as below. We did not have any luck so far. Any recommendations or guidance is much appreciated. Summary: The remote server returned an error: (502) Bad Gateway   Thanks.

We are using an extender business rule to run FdxExecuteDataUnit and write the data (with dimensionality) to a file.  The file generated seems to be a standard format with a column for each dimension.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to include the Member IDs in the file export? Thank you,  Denise

Hi all,I have connector rule set up to an external source table that is working fine to pull data into stage, but I would like to automate the execution of the workflow as well so that the data in the cube is refreshed nightly.  I found the below api but it looks to me like it's meant to load a flat file into stage via an extensibility rule, not from an external table. I'm not sure how to connect it to the connector/import step I want to automate. Any thoughts? Dim WFTime As String = TimeDimHelper.GetNameFromId(api.WorkflowUnitPk.TimeKey)Dim results As WorkflowBatchFileCollection = BRApi.Utilities.ExecuteFileHarvestBatch(si, "Actual", WFTime, True, True, True, True, False, False, False)
