Hi All,We're running into a few problems with an existing BR that is used to change the state of the current workflow. The current BR is used in the admin workflow & we haven't encountered any problems, however when end users attempt to run this rule on a child workflow, they receive the error message below.Business RuleIf args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("WorkflowStatusUpdate") ThenDim strChangeType As String = args.NameValuePairs.XFGetValue("ChangeType")Dim selectionChangedTaskResult As XFSelectionChangedTaskResult = Me.WorkflowStatusUpdate(si, strChangeType)Return selectionChangedTaskResultEnd IfWhen an admin progresses the workflow the end users are able to execute the subsequent steps to complete their workflow. Is there something I'm missing in the current rule that needs to be changed or is this an issue with our security setup?Thanks,

We would like to combine two of our cubes into one.  Some of the UD dimensions will change in the new combined cube.  Is it best to start with a new application?  Any suggestions?

When using a Parameter to specify a member in a CubeView, how do I specify which Workspace the Parameter is in?  

I have heard that Onestream supports ad-hoc queries and reporting. But I haven't yet found an easy way to send ad-hoc queries to our OneStream cubes. I'm searching for some sort of query interface like SQL, MDX, or DAX.   So far I've discovered that there is a REST API which allows me to retrieve data from an existing "cubeview". This is a helpful API for extracting data programmatically. But this certainly isn't considered "ad-hoc" since it requires that a cubeview be prepared and deployed in advance. I had also seen that the REST API supports SQL statements but I have been warned against using those; since it circumvents the logical definitions of the cube, and these queries might become fragile and break over time (eg. after future upgrades to the onestream platform). Besides those two options, what mechanism is available to send "ad-hoc" queries to OneStream, and immediately retrieve the results. Our CPM data is very valuable to client processes, and we've been able to accompl

My client needs me to capture foreign characters apart from regular English as part of Account Metadata. Some of their ERP(Account/Entity) data is in chinese characters and the question was will this be brought in to onestream in their local language or do they first need to translate it to english?    

Hi, is there an ability to change the Classification field in the Cell Detail right click from a combo box to a freeform entry?

Hello,While trying to import data through a workflow from a *CSV file I am getting the error from below when performing the Load step of the workflow: These are the only details of the error, in the Task Activity there are no relevant details for this error.This seems to be a generic error. Could this be related to the workflow setup or is it something else?Thank you. 

Hi All!,  My team and I have placed a JE event handler with restrictions for preparer and approver (where preparer can't approve his/her own JEs - Approve/reject/post & Unpost) along with JE email notification.In this Scenario where a user has both Preparer and Approver access, submits JE through excel, his/her JE is getting directly approved without considering the restrictions we have placed in the JE event handler but when done manually it's working as expected. below is our BR. any help will be greatly appreciated.    Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As JournalsEventHandlerArgs) As Object Try Dim returnValue As Object = args.DefaultReturnValue args.UseReturnValueFromBusinessRule = False args.Cancel = False 'Evaluate the operation type in order to determine which subroutine to process Select Case args.OperationName 'SUBMITTED - Notifiy Approver Case Is = BREventOperationT

Hello, Is it possible to remove user defined dimension association from cube (Application>Cubes>Cube Dimensions)? We've an unused dimension initially created but now we'd like to remove it, as all data is loaded at None member. But when we try to change that UD7 dimension setting to default (RootUD7Dim), it throws below error: "Error updating cube. Unable to modify cube 'CUBENAMEXXXX' dimensions because the cube has data."   I know that error is because we've loaded data already but just wondering if there's a way to get rid of this dimension from cube.   Thanks, Gaurav  

Hi, I have a requirement to report on transaction currency. Is there a way for me not to use any UDs to hold the transaction currency? May be  using the alternate input currency in flow? Any suggestion is appreciated . Thanks

What alterantive solution you have build for Workforce Planning. I don't want to use People Planning Market place solution. 1) Run calculations inside the cube by storing all employee information. 2) Relational Table + Cube. Can you give me a top level design where i can start with ? Thanks!

Hi All! We had gotten an ad hoc request to give certain access and restrictions to Preparer Users and Approver Users. Where the Preparer can complete workflow and revert workflow and the Approver can only certify in the Workflow profile. We have been able to successfully achieve restriction on completing workflow for the Approver but not able to restrict them from stopping the Revert workflow. Even after placing conditions to stop the revert workflow the certify is also getting restricted for the approver.below is the code without any restrictions for Revert workflow for now.  if anyone has resolution for this it will be greatly appreciated.  

Hi All,In HFM we can extract data from one application/Instance and load it into another application using the data load option (.dat file). Do we have a similar feature where we can extract data from one OneStream application and load it into another application/Instance?Thanks,Anand Thota

Hello,I have a very peticular situation, where the parent workflow is validated and finalized, while the children are not !Now, I can't validate any children workflow, because the parent is already validated...Do you have anything that would help re-initialize the workflow, whitout having to remove all data ?Regards,

We have a cube view with Entity Hierarchy in rows displaying values in local currency at the base level and USD at parent level. columns are CY Amount, PY Amount, Variance, Variance %, Currency Change Note - Currency Change is always reflected in USD(both at base and Parent Level) Formula for currency change = (CY Avg Rate - PY Average Rate)* CY Amount (conversion to USD) Problem Statement  Currency Change is displaying correct values at the base level entity, but when rolling up its showing a 0 because the CY Amount at Parent level always shows in USD so the conversion rate by default is 1.   I am looking for a solution to have the Currency Change apply only at the base level and the parent should be a rollup of the base. see screenshot below. Looking forward to some inputs here!      

Hello OneStream Experts, Our consultant team has build custom Seeding dashboard for us to seed data but I would like to add confirmation before my admins click on seeding button to make sure they got source and target right.   Do we have anything in OneStream where I can have msgbox or some kind of message to double check source and target section?   Saurin

Hello, I'm attempting to leverage the UD8 Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) business rule as a dynamic calculation.   The formula works great on most intersections, but I keep getting this error message on certain intersections: --> Unable to execute formula for member 'xxx'. Value was either too large or too small for a Decimal.    Does anyone know what is causing this our how I can overcome?  Even a single intersection error wrecks my cubeview presentation as you can see with the attached image.   I'm able to recreate the math in excel and the result doesn't seem unwieldy, so I'm not sure how to resolve.    Thanks, SeanUD8 CAGR Business RuleError Message being thrownMath - highlighting intersection with error via a QuickView  

When viewing the Intercompany Matching Summary Page on a WorkFlow, the Status Flag Filter is showing only filenames (not "Pass", "Fail"). Does anyone have the answer to how to fix this?

Hi,I'm working on clearing data from a Plan scenario and ran across this error. Has anyone encountered the image below? If so, what did you need to do to clear the data out?   

The issue is the following:For one of our clients we have a workspace step in our WF which has a button “Start SAP BW Process Chain”. This button triggers a data management sequence and should in the end turn the Workspace step green (if no error happened). When pushing this button there should also be progress bar showing where in the process the task is.Question - Is it somehow possible to start a data management sequence in a way that it displays the progress bar from a dashboard extender rule and that the workspace button is completed? We tried the following:Running all three versions of BRApi.Utilities.xxxxDataMgmtSequence (Start/Queue/Execute) but these always start the dm sequence in the background without displaying the progress bar.Is there a way to enforce to show the progress bar?Could event handlers maybe help out to give back the completion of the worfklow? Does anyone have an idea on how we can get the workspace to complete (turn green) and show the progres

Hello ! I am trying to execute the "LogonAndReturnCookie" web api. I thought everything was configured correctly, but I get the message (401 - unauthorized) : "Error processing External Provider Sign In information. Custom Scopes from the Request do not match the ones configured." In the REST API documentation, it is written that the "custom scope" should be as followed : (OneStream web api  app custom scope : allowpostman) : [screenshot removed] How do you configure this custom scope in the app / in azure AD / in postman ?   Regards,
