Hi there. We are busy with the design of a management reporting and Statutory consol application. Their current year end is June but will probably move to a December YE from end of 2024. As the Time Profile is linked to a Cube the easiest way will be to create a new cube for the new YE data. As the proposed structure of the Management reporting solution will contain many cubes this may be proof to be problematic. Does anyone have a case study where this was done or does anyone know what is best practice in this regard?

Does anyone know how to translate the value in m1status .. m12status in table DataRecordxxxx. Is there a second table I can referece? 

  At the moment the Aggregated member uses the IsConsolidated property to aggregate or not. Do I have any option if I wanted to aggregate a member but not consolidate it? With the introduction of the new member Aggregated, is there going to be a IsAggregated property created or will it always work with the IsConsolidated property?   Thanks

Hello, The design doc says that "Any cell in any grid can contain a data attachment. To attach a file, right click on any cell in a data grid and select Data Attachment for Selected Cell". However in my cube view when I'm following that and when I'm on total year for my budget scenario and total accounts, I get the following error message (it works to add a text for each of the single month for same intersection) Would you know if I am missing anything in the set up of my cube view or about limitations in regards of data attachment ? Thank you Matthieu

Hello, I want to schedule daily and weekly backups/restores for the OS application. This backup would be used to restore the whole application if something had to happen. There's an extensibility rule that can be scheduled to extract all the application artefacts. The rule has some limitations as it extracts artefacts but not the data.   Is there a way to create daily backup of the whole application including the data ?

Hello Team, Could you please share if there is document for analysis all the logs. Regards, Praveen

I'm looking for an option to mass delete members marked as ORPHANS in a dimension, I tried few options but if there is any data in the application for any of these ORPHAN members the delete fails Wanted to know if there is a work around or another way to achieve this & also to know if we can delete member without clearing the data

Hello All,  I need some Quick help . is it possible to create a Child under a Base member that has a value. for example in my UD2 dimension i have Book A1 it is the Base member and it has data in it. If i try to create a Child under this A1 , Child A1_C. i am losing view of the Data . Is it a Cube View issue i need to resolve . or its not possible to create a child under a base member that already has values in it ? 

For Entity transformation rule, we want to build logic so that Source entity looks at its parent entity in one of our entity hierarchy in OS dimension, read and then map to the parent entity text8 assignment, then map to that entity the text8 assignment. How can we setup logic for that? 

Hi there, I wonder if anybody knows how to access dashboard combo box selection from SaveDataEventHandler? I was able - through BRApi - to get the parameter assigned to the combo box (with the entire member list in it), but not the actual selection. I think this is possible from Dashboard Extender BR, but not Extensibility. I would appreciate any tips & advises. Best,Karol

Looking to start using the View txt fields (Annotation, Assumptions…) and understand that there is no natural way to have that information aggregated/consolidated up. I am told that a BR is needed to do this. Just checking to see if this is correct and if anybody has had success in this getting it to work. Ideal use would be for our regional leaders to be able to see summary comments on specific line items that we report on.

Hello, Do you know if there is a way to display in a dashboard the users / entities access by user / the type of access (read, write...)  Thanks, Regards, Harry

Hi I'm trying to get the current pov - cube and entity - within a member list (i'm using for selection as drop-down). Unfortunately the api.pov.entity.name is in this case not returning the wf pov, but the cube pov. The args.SubstVarSourceInfo.WFCubeRoot doesn't work as well. Any ideas? Thanks Jana

Good EveningWe are working on an OneStream implementation and one of our sources of data is OpenAir. This solution is cloud-based. We are trying to extract data via a ODATA call.Does anybody have any code examples on how to use ODATA as a data source?Thanks in advance.Marco A. Rossodivita

Hi All,   I was reviewing the following link below regarding strategies to reconcile historical data.  Strategies for Data Reconciliation - OneStream Community (onestreamsoftware.com) I noticed the following statement "You can turn-on’ translation for periods when the translation is what you will use going forward. It is possible in OneStream to load parent currency. By simply using the Flow dimension, you can see how simple it would be to handle historical currency issues."   Can someone please point me in the right direction in terms of documentation on how this is done / the details. Ideally from either the OneStream handbook, design and reference guide, or OneStream academy.   Cheers!  

Hi, I have account for which I don't want entity aggregation to occur. I have tried using the dimension for aggregation on entity dimension as FALSE but I have not received the desired result and its showing the invalid intersection and hence I am not able to input the numbers at base level. Moreover suggestion on account type are also required. any suggestion would be helpful.

I have a single Connector BR that makes several independent API calls to external systems. When it's called the Task Progress window sits at 11% with the message "Parsing Source Data". I would like to update the task as it goes along so the user knows something is happening.  I found reference to the below snippet but don't know how to properly instantiate the extenderArgs variable. I tried using it with Nothing but it did not seem to work as intended. Is there a sample of how I can do this in a Connector BR? Dim bValue As Boolean = BRApi.TaskActivity.UpdateRunningTaskActivityAndCheckIfCanceled(si, extenderArgs, activityDescription, percentCompleteToAdd)  Thanks.

Hello all, is there a way to export a file to a users local folder (Outside of OS share)? For example the exports drom Data Management or anything that we created in a BR?   I know how to send it to a table/DB, but the question is if i can export directly from OS to a local folder. Am I missing something very obvious?   Thank you in advance

Hi, I have a u8#memberformula that I am trying to use for the first time - to format the background color of a cell. I know that setting  BackgroundColor = pink will cause the cell to turn pink. BackgroundColor = u8#memberfomula my u8#memberformula has only one line: Return "pink"  For unknown reason, 1S is not formating my cells pink ??(I assume the text "pink" is returned by u8#formula) I know my formula is executed by 1S because I put a debug statement in there and it is showing in Error Log that my formula is executed .  

Hi allis there a way to disable the "Create Journal" button  (red)and keep the ""Create Journal using selected template" button (green) I would like to force users to select specific templates where the entity selection is limited to the E#Root.WFProfileEntities So that users cannot make mistakes posting a journal on an entity which is not part of the workflow. Thanks in advance for the help.Marcello  

Hi All, I'm hoping someone can help. I'm trying to create a formula for a planning solution that calculates an average over a dynamic number of time periods but for hundreds of intersections. So essentially I somehow need a data buffer covering multiple time periods that I can then use in my over arching planning formula. The main thought was to loop through the time periods, which is fine, but I can't use an api.data.getdatacell because of the volume of intersections I want to calculate the average for. Is it possible to build up a data buffer in a loop? If only i could create a V#TrailingXmonthavg  formula where I can replace the X with a dynamic value. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

You will get this error during the import step. Reason - The load file doesnt have any data after transformation.( ByPass).  The underlying code looks to summarize the data when it finds nothing, it throws an error.

Hi, I have a number of files in my export folder that were created using a Data-Management step. However, even though I have system admin rights , the option to delete any or all files is 'greyed out'. So, how do I delete them when I have finished downloading them. Also, how do I then delete the 'date' folder as well ?   Thanks Mark

Hi All,How do I extract all the RCM account inventory to an excel csv file? I'm able to export page by page, but wondering if there is a quicker way to export all 10-15 pages. 

Hello All,   I'd like to know if there is a way to have/combine somehow in a Cube View the fact to have the collapse/expand function that the .Tree expansion provides while still applying a filter on the member we want to render below the top member. Something like this in essence : TopMember.Tree.Where (text1 = 2). Seems we cannot apply a where clause on .Tree expansion, and I would anyway expect that the collapse/expand option is not active anymore when we start to filter with a where clause but I'm trying to explore options that would allow to meet this kind of requirement Thank you in advance for your feedback Matthieu
