How to directly extract data from S4 Hana and integrate it into OneStream

Hello, I obtained the following sample code from the SIC guide for SQL. Could someone please provide me with sample code for an Oracle database? I attempted to replace 'SQL' with 'Oracle' but encountered an error. Thanks, Chandra  

Hello, I have a cube view connection in Excel that won't resize columns when I change my parameter selection. For example, here are what the columns look like with my initial parameter selection (2023M4) vs. a different time period (2023M5): As you can see, the columns aren't adjusting after I change the parameter. I have tested a number of settings such as defining the ExcelColumnWidth and some of the Cube View Connection settings but nothing seems to work. Are there any Excel specific settings or Cube View settings I need to check in order to resolve this issue?

Can anyone share brapi command to fetch the Workflow's Hierarchy Level in the Business Rule?    

Hi All, We are using the OneStream 'cloud' solution with the desktop application required to be installed to access the OneStream functionalities. We would like to perform load/performance testing for the application with 250+ users to check its performace under the load. Have anyone done performance or Load or Concurrency testing for OneStream cloud application which is accessed through OneStream desktop application? If you have done this testing before, please share the performance or load testing tool and protocol used for testing the desktop application of OneStream with cloud solution. Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

The users would like to see Time member Descriptions whenever bringing up a Member Selection window (e.g. when creating Cube Views or Quick Views). This issue appears to be specific to the Time Dimension itself, where any other Dimension will provide the Name and Description, Time only displays Name. Is this a setting within OneStream somewhere that can be changed?

OneStream Release Notes.  There is a release note saying that in 8.2 you can embed refreshable content allowing users to edit and narrate a document for the purpose of inserting content in a published report. Where would I find more information about that please? Thanks very much.

When migrating Financial Close Applications from On Premise to The Cloud , how much testing is required or recommended post migration e,g checking excel report retrievals to verify data as before , key close processes ,data loads , currency settings , etc ? 

What's the best way to load historical data to accounts that have extended accounts under them in OS. For example in our current system we have data in Corporate accounts and we recreated them in OneStream but in OneStream we also extended those accounts to have regions local GL accounts under Corporate accounts.   Current system only has amounts in Account2 but in OneStream going forward data will be loaded to regions local accounts (LocalGL100, LocalGL200, LocalGL300)

Hi, I am practicing building a BI Blend report on Golfstream Application. I was able to create a connection to the external database i.e SQL Studio, make the config changes in Onestream Database Configuration Utility and I can fetch that data in the dashboard using SQL connection string which is working fine. Then I created a new Workflow profile that uses the BI Blend functionality. It is throwing some errors as you can see below  Any help would be highly appreciated. Moreover, if someone has a working guide/tutorial to get started with BI Blend, that would be appreciated. P.S. - I already have the BI Blend reference guide but it is not working since there is no specifically designed tutorial to practice  BI Blend Reporting in that. 

Hi All Here is an example of the problem I am running into. Previously we had an entity called ABC, the hierarchy looked like this, ABC I was asked to create a hedge and a new parent entity. So it now looks like this Total_ABC      ABC      ABC_HEDGE My problem is when I am trying to pull "Total_ABC" to validate, "ABC" and ABC_HEDGE" are not rolling up to "Total_ABC".   I have already ran a force consolidation to try to resolve this problem.   Thanks!  

Hi All - I have a quick question on Periodic Data Load for Balance Sheet. If I load Periodic data to BS accounts, will it calculate YTD automatically? or we need to write a formula to get the YTD value. Any Input would be appreciated ? Thanks      

Hi Community, do we have a onestream admin copilot? i recently came across copilot for azure sql database and was really impressed by DBA capabilities. I was wondering if OneStream has similar product that let us administrators use a chat based interface to figure out why our cubeviews/formulas or data load processes are running slower and recommendations to fix that. Currently we go through system generated or developer generated logs to figure what is causing the issue and go through documentation and use experience to modify artifacts, it would be great if we have azure sql copliot like feature to help admins.

Hi All - Attempting to add to the existing email_helper BR some logging information (Row counts) from the results of a Data Management Step that loops through a series of workflow profiles to load data to Onestream from an API.   I have located the information on the rowcount in the SQL table 'TaskFlowStepLog', but would prefer to use something that's available in the BRAPI if possible.  Any ideas?      

Hi, I'm curious to find out how I can trigger a calculation for any consolidation member that requires a parent reference, such as OwnerPostAdj, through a data management step using member filters. I just want to trigger a fast calc for all entities for this consolidation member to push a value and get instant feedback to the user in a dashboard, I don't actually want to aggregate/consolidate to the top. I can run it for a specific entity with reference to its parent but I don't understand how I'm supposed to input it here if I want to run it for each valid entity-parent intersection. Looping and executing it multiple times is not an option.  See below for what I want to accomplish.     

I have a data adapter that calls a BR that calls one of the IC methods (I thinned it down here) but what I run the data adapter I get the error that the datatable already belongs to another dataset.  Any help on what that means and how to resolve? Public Shared Function IntercompanyReportBudget(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As DashboardDataSetArgs) As DataTableDim Threshold As Integer = args.NameValuePairs.XFGetValue("Threshold")Dim dtInterCoBud As New DataTableUsing dbConnApp As DbConnInfo = BRApi.Database.CreateApplicationDbConnInfo(si)Dim interCoMethodQuery As String = "{|WFProfile|}{|WFScenario|}{|WFTime|}{}{C#USD}{V#YTD}{}{" & Threshold & "}{}{}{}{}"dtInterCoBud = BRApi.Database.ExecuteMethodCommand(dbConnApp, XFCommandMethodTypeId.ICMatchingForWorkflowUnitMultiPlug, interCoMethodQuery, "ICBud", Nothing).Tables(0) End UsingReturn dtInterCoBudEnd Function

Hi  I would like to know if there is any settings or how would you deal with a cube view which has a member filter and in there a calculation for example F#None:UD4#AA5EX32011:Name(Cents):GetDataCell((Divide(CVC(Col1), CVC(Col3))*100). The user then exports the cube view to excel and converts each cell to an XFGetCells. See Screenshot 1. Once this is done the columns with the above formula return errors due to the calculation in that members. See Screenshot 2     Any advice or settings or best practice on how to deal with this? Regards Rehaan  

Hi  I need to add two base member accounts in the member filter of a cube view. Would this be the correct syntax: A#Account1, A#Account2. Or do you need to add a plus sign between them? Regards  

Dear community, I am currently using the REST API (using the Personal Access Token that really works well !) in order to retrive a Cube View. It's very easy to use as it works just like a regular Data Adapter configuration. However, the cube view that I query is using 2 parameters. If I don't specific the parameters and a value in the REST API query, nothing is returned. I can specify the value manually, however I will lack the flexibility of the cube view to retrieve specific values. How can I change the REST API call for my cube view so that the parameters are indeed prompted ? {"BaseWebServerUrl": "XXXXXXX","ApplicationName": "Production","CubeViewName": "PVM_Graph2","DataTablePerCubeViewRow ": true,"ResultDataTableName": "ResultDataTableNames","CustomSubstVarsAsCommaSeparatedPairs": "P_POC_INP_UD7_Part1=D1,P_POC_INP_UD7_part2=D2","CubeViewDataTableOptions": {"IncludeTitle": false,"IncludeHeaderLeftLabel1": true,"IncludeHeaderLeftLabel2": true,"IncludeHeaderLeftLabel3": true,"Includ

Hello,  Wondering if there was a way to carryforward V#Annotation inputs on BalanceRecurring Account Types (or any other Account Types) similar to how a V#Periodic input is carried forward on BalanceRecurring.  For example, we have the users selecting a text string in a data cell and would like that data cell to be carried forward when saved. When we click save on this BalanceRecurring Account, the text string doesn't carry forward months because no value is being stored at V#Annotation. V#Annotation:   However, we can change the parameter to have the value of a MemberID (Integer) which stores the value at V#Periodic and displays the String. At V#Periodic, this carries forward that string which is our end goal. V#Periodic: Due to the nature of the tables supporting these custom dropdowns, we would prefer to be at V#Annotation and carrying forward text strings that way. Has anyone encountered this or have solution to carryforward V#Annotation inputs?    

We have been using the SAP connector for fetching the GL data and few other information like units and install base. The connectors were working fine until Oct 2023. We noticed duplicate and/or missing rows. The row counts would match. It would only have this issue when the data is in multiple packages. We had package size of 10000. As a workaround we increased the package size 100000. But one of the integration has >500000 rows. When we tried to increase the package size to match the rows, the integration would fail with internal memory size error. Looking into get data function, I would like to know if there is a way to add order. Below you will find the get data code. The where clause is - r3Table.AddCriteria("FISCYEAR = " & "'" & fiscalYear & "'"). Is there a way to add order by? #Region "GetData" 'Read source data from the R3 table Private Sub GetSourceDataSAP(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Transformer, ByVal r3Conn As R3Conn

Hello~, I am wondering if there are any solutions available for bulk deletion of DM Sequences and Steps. We have hundreds of Sequences and Steps that will not be used, and deleting them manually would require a significant amount of effort. Could you please assist us with this? Thank you in advance!

Hi, I have a data source, where the leading character of the alphanumeric values in the column are used to identify if the row value should be assigned to a particular dimension field in a UD. The complex expression here will display results in the error log indicating it has found the rows that I want to assign a different value for in the UD, but I don't know how to set that , so that the imported data assigns my UD requirement. Basically I want it so that if the args.value starts with "R" then assign it a value of "R" in the UD2 otherwise, leave it/set it as "None". Dim sValue As String = args.Value Dim myValue1 As String = "UD2 R-" & sValue Dim myValue2 As String = "Ignore" If Left(svalue,1)="R" Then BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, myValue1) Else BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, myValue2) End If   Any thoughts or am I approaching this the wrong way ? I cannot see that I would do this in a transformation rule as it is the source GL code that carries this information. Ch

A = 50% allocated to B , 40% to C,  -90% to A What will be the best approach to allocate data between entities?  Also, If you have a code snippet for data buffer that will be helpful. 1. Data Buffer 2. ADC  

As the subject line says I am trying to extract a Maintenance unit using a business rule.  We are on 8.1.0.  Below is the code I am using.  I have tried to use MetadataExtract.ExtractXML and XmlExtractContoller.ExtractXML, but I don't get what I am looking for.  It ends up dumping everything into the XML file. The name of the Maintenance Unit in this case is Integrations.  Can anyone see what I am doing wrong, or is there another Method I should be using?   ' Extract options Dim xmlOptions As New XmlExtractOptions ' extract all items xmlOptions.ExtractAllItems = False ' extract specified items Dim extractDict As New Dictionary(Of XmlExtractItemPk, Boolean) ' Groups are required to be added if extracting Cube Views extractDict.Add(New XmlExtractItemPk(XmlExtractItemType.DashboardMaintUnit,"Integrations"), True) 'extractDict.Add(New XmlExtractItemPk(XmlExtractItemType.BusinessRule,"XS_ExportAppTypes"), True) Dim xm As XmlExtractItemPk = New XmlExtract
