How are parameters organized within a DMU? I refuse to believe they're placed in a random order once created. They're not sorted in alphabetical order or by Parameter Type—then how?

In the application I'm building, I have a need to make several insert/update/deletes for different custom tables, but the database call for those changes should happen within a transaction. Are there any OneStream API functions that will include the ability to run the database call as a transaction? I could just use the .NET Framework approach (SqlCommand), but then I'm a bit off the track.Cheers, Frank

Is there a setting on the component or even a business rule that allows you to uncheck/unselect/reset a combo box to its original state? I would like it to reset and check the top member or a default member. I don't want all parameters on my dashboard reset just a specific combo box with the click of a button.

Hi We are creating a book that loops over an excel export item to create multiple tabs (see below):Is there any way to add a named range around each exported cube view?Thanks,Mark

Does anybody know if there is a dashboard that shows the Workflow Statuses for all workflows. Like the right click on workflow Status & Assigned Entities.

Hello,Struggling today with a simple input form. For any entity I can write data, but not for 1 exception. I tried in workflow, or separate cubeview with varying dimensions which all worked before.Also for the same entity in other scenarios with a different scenario type I can write data.Authorization seems not the issue, after changing to Everyone it still shows as read only.Could something block the entity for input in a scenario?Thanks in advance for your any help! 

Good afternoonI'm writing an extender rule to move some files within the application database file system and am using the following line of codeDim xffProcessData As New XFFile(xfiTargetDataInfo, String.Empty, xfeSource.XFFile.ContentFileBytes)I've highlighted the parameter that I am querying - if I hover over XFFile it says it is "xmldata As String". The process works fine in the example given, but I am curious what could be used in that xmldata parameter - what is it?Thank you!Craig

Hello all, My client recently upgraded to the most recent version of OneStream. Previously when loading data, the first line on the Load tab would show the total of bypassed records. We've noticed since the update, this no longer shows. Is it possible to turn this back on?Before:After:  

Hi all,I am trying to find a way to set up a member filter where the member's text 1 field contains the name of an entity.My CV row setup is as follows:E#MyParent.base     U1#MyU1Parent.base.where(Text1 contains xxxxxxx)in the above example, xxxxxxx should be the name of the current entity.So basically this CV should go through all the base entities and for each Entity, the U1 member(s) that display should only be those whose Text1 field contains the name of the particular entity.There must be a way to do this.  The concept is simple.  We use a lot of where() clauses here in our CVs but no matter what I try (i.e. where(Text1 contains |MFEntity|), where(Text1 contains |CVEntity|)); nothing seems to give that result.  It either completely ignores the where clause and just returns all of the U1 member regardless or it defaults to the total U1 parent.This CV works perfectly if I select a single entity and ask for all of the U1 base members whose text1 field co

Hi,I have created a dashboard extender business rule that picks some CSV files from a server, save them in the File Share, extract some info from the file, then delete them.The issue I am having is to find the right folder to use to import and then delete the files.I initially used the Administrators folder in the File Share/Applications/Groups folder, but that folder is not visible to the not in the Administrators group, so the rule works fine for me but not for other users.Then I have tried using the Incoming folder, which let me import the files, but does not let me delete the files.Each folder in the File Share seems to have a different set of security properties, but that is not shown in the File Explorer. What is the purpose of each of the folders in the File Share (is each of them supposed to be used for a specific task?) and which one is better to use for my scope?Thank you 

I am trying to get a stored value in Text1 from an Entity relationship:This is the code that at least does not give me an error when it executes but it does not return the Text1 value.Dim myScenarioID As Integer = brapi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, DimType.Scenario.Id, "Actual")Dim myScenarioType As ScenarioType = BRApi.Finance.Scenario.GetScenarioType(si, myScenarioID)Dim myTimeID As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Time.GetIdFromName(si, "2021M6")Dim myEntityID As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, DimType.Entity.Id, POVEntity)Dim myParentID As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, DimType.Entity.Id, POVParent)' Get relationship Dim relationship As Relationship = BRApi.Finance.members.ReadRelationshipNoCache(si, DimType.Entity.Id, myEntityID, myParentID)' Get the propertiesDim memProperties As New VaryingMemberProperties( DimType.Entity.Id, myEntityID, myParentID )' Get the stored valueDim Text1Value As String = memProperties.GetEntityRelationshipProperties().Text1.G

Hello,Im wondering if there is a way to hardcode a fieldtoken value when loading data from a csv. For example, I am using the below code:Dim fieldTokens As New List(Of String)fieldTokens.Add("xfText#:[Account]")fieldTokens.Add("xfText#:[Entity]")fieldTokens.Add("xfText#:[Amount]")fieldTokens.Add("xfText#:[EmpID]") '<-- Want to hardcode this to '99999'BRApi.Utilities.LoadCustomTableUsingDelimitedFile(si, .......)But I want to hardcode the results of EmpID to value '99999' before I execute the 'LoadCustomTableUsingDelimitedFile' command.  Any help on this would be much appreciated!

Is there a way to filter a DataBuffer on DataType or StorageType? I'm running a business rule in T#2023Q3.  This business rule gets a data buffer for an account.  I was expecting the data to be for just the current period (T#2023Q3) which it does however it also brings quarters Q2 and Q1 which I was not expecting!  I don't want this "IsDerrivedData" brought into my data buffer.  How can I filter it out? ' ƒ WOW! - As we advance the Time we bring in the current and all prior periods. So 2023Q3 brings in data for Q3 AND Q2 AND Q2! ' Filtering by time doesn't work "RemoveZeros(T#2023Q3:A#A_BSRCarveout:C#None)"; IsDerrivedData, StoredByNoActivity dragged in, why?!?! Dim BSRCarveoutDataBuffer As DataBuffer = api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula("RemoveZeros(A#A_BSRCarveout:C#None)")    

Hi, Is it possible to pop up a message to all the active users of an application through a business rule? When the data load starts, we want to pop up a message that the process as started. Ragav.

I currently have a UD8 that pulls the current timestamp anytime a user updates an intersection and it works just fine. The issue I am having is that when I run a calculation to push an amount to an intersection, there is no audit trail for that. Is there a table where this calculated audit information is stored? I haven't been able to find anything and I would think that OneStream should be able to track the audit trail of calculated members.

Hey,So I have built a flow to push data from one scenario to another by pressing a dashboard button which start a data management job that execute a extender business rule.The extender business rule is executing import, validate and load with the file created through the referenced data management export data step/sequence. The export data step is using a literal parameter in UD1 that is being set before pushing the dashboard button.Above UD1 selection makes it possible to only push/seed data to the other scenario for just a portion of the total data. Over time there will be up to 10 button executions to push all data in UD1 to target scenario.  Everything works fine for me except replacing data in destination scenario/workflow. Currently I use .append in order to load all 10 UD1 areas to one import step in destination workflow/scenario. If the user in this case whould press the button for the same UD1 selection a second time, I would have the data twice. What I wou

Hi, is it possible to give someone access to the FileShare folder in OnePlace, without giving access to the System tab (from where, using File Explorer, it is possible to browse to the FileShare folder)?Thank you 

Hi,I am in a custom business rule. I have a calculate formula like the following one, which works fine:api.Data.Calculate("A#Sales1 = A#Sales2 + 50”) Now let say I want to declare a variable instead of having the 50 typed in the formula string, and pass that to the Calculate, what is the correct syntax to do that? Is it possible?I would like to do something like this (the one below is not the correct syntax, but it gives an idea of what I am trying to do):Dim Growth As Decimal = 50api.Data.Calculate("A#Sales1 = A#Sales2 + Growth”) Thank you 

Hi All,  I have a combo box that is in the main dashboard called cb_OnMaindash.

I was curious to find out if there is a way to have Grammarly work with OneStream XF in order to get real time spellcheck and grammar check for narratives and annotations.

I am displaying a list of members in a listbox on a dashboard. With the format IsMultiSelect=False, the members with an underscore display correctly. When the format IsMultiSelect=True is used, the underscore in the member name is not shown. The listbox knows there is an underscore because I display the selections on the dashboard and they display correctly.Before I raise a ticket with support, has anyone met this before and has a workaround? Or am I doing something stupid?Thanks
