Workflow and Data Integration

Hello Community, Do we have a way to check any missing member setting in an automated way?  For example: Recently we had someone create a few entity members/rollups, which were missing "Auto Translation" setting. So I had to go in and scrub through region/district/branches to amend and change it to USD.  Just curious, if we can "search" where a particular setting might be missing using a simple Business Rule. Maybe it throws a list of members where such setting is missing.      Any idea will be appreciated. Thanks everyone  

Does anyone know if it is possible to combine multiple data extracts into one file in OneStream?We have several DM jobs that we want to extract information about what contributes up to parents. We have found no way to do this in one DM job as the filters needed for each just won’t work for multiple rollup points. So alternatively we thought if we could combine those files it would work. Or perhaps a business rule that could somehow loop through the hierarchy we need and ‘build’ the larger file to save to the file explorer?

SOURCE: ONESTREAM CHAMPIONS Hi all! We just upgraded to 6.4 last week and have migrated our data management jobs running via power shell script onto Task Scheduler. A few questions: Do you set these jobs up with a certain person’s user name? Do you know what happens if that user is later disabled? (I’ve submitted a OS support ticket for that last question). If you don’t set them up under a specific person’s user name, how do you set them up? We have an “Administrator” user and “OSAutomation” user that I’m considering using to keep these auto jobs separate from my regular OS activity. Any insight would be appreciated as I’m trying to gauge how other users have set up Task Scheduler while also asking OS support for their best practices. Thanks!-Nicole

We just went live with our IC setup (ie providing the plug account - We had already required a valid partner prior to adding the plug). Works GREAT! The issue/question we have now found ourselves in is that these feature is not time constrained like formula’s or other features. We decided that we needed to split a statistical volume value into two groups and wanted to go back in to a prior year to get year over year comparisons. At this point we realized that once we make any change to an Entity, when we re-consolidate, IC kicks in and hoses up our Financials. Outside of removing all plug accounts, making change, consolidating and adding the plug accounts back, we can’t update our prior period Statistical accounts. Anybody know of a work around or is this going to be fixed in the future similar to how formalus are handled.Clarke

I can extract an entire DataManagementGroup just fine, but if I want to extract only one DM step and/or one DM sequence using XF Project, it fails. It will create an empty zip file. I have also tried extracting the DataManagmentGroup with IncludeDecendants=false along with the DM Step and Sequence but that just creates a zip with one xml that only contains the DM Group, and neither the DM Step or the Sequence are included in the extract. Has anyone had any luck extracting DataManagementStep or DataManagementSequence? It seems the Group must be specified since steps in different groups can have the same name, but I don't see anything about this in the documentation.

Hi Team, Is there any magical code / function to rename the workflow using some business rule. or direct update in the table ?       Regards and Thanks Darpan Bhansali

Hi Team,How to avoid the requirement for confirming dormant MEP workflows, should we setup at all or do an alternative control or any auto certification possibility Long Term?RegardsDarpan Bhansali

Hi, I am working on a demo for BIBlend. I understand that "View" is not supported in BIBlend and we should derive it on the reports or by using BRs. Does anyone have some some examples on how I can use Time math Business Rules to derive YTD values in the BIBlend Dashboards? Or any other methods to report YTD/QTD values for BI Blend? Thanks Liliya    

Originally posted by Sarah Park 2/4/2020 Can anyone provide some guidance on how to change the display of the Matching Accounts on the IC dashboard? Client doesn't like that it's driven off of the plug account ID, so want to rename these as ICPlug - AR/AP, etc. I've seen it done before but can't seem to locate it.

Hello, We have data loaded to stage, voucher row text field, that we do not want loaded to the cube. Is there a video or how to doc that walks you through how to setup Attribute Value Dimensions for this column? I know from some of the OneStream training that I have attended it is possible but just having trouble getting started. Cube Design Attribute Value.docx (385.9 KB)      

Hello,I try to put a condition on workflow months in the data source, but i dont know how to call them in my Complex expression, does anyone have an idea ? Thanks 

Source:   Migrated from Champions I built a mass upload template leveraging XFSet to use for our budget and forecasting processes that has a quick view to pull in all the accounts in our account dimension. I did this so that if we add a new GL account, the quick view updates upon refresh and is available for the users to budget/forecast to, rather than having to update the template for the users. The XFSet is hidden so users don’t accidently break the formula. The quick view is also hidden for the same reason. I have the sheet protected to further mitigate risks of users breaking the template. The issue is when we go to refresh the template which refreshes the quick view, the protected sheet won’t let the quick view refresh. Does anyone have a workaround to protect sheets while still refreshing the quick view?

Originally posted by Hans van der KempIf I look at the Data Adapters, it seems the method type "JournalForWorkflowUnit" contains the required information. So then I would need a Studio report based on that data adapter, similar to the RPTA -> is that the best approach?

Originally posted by James Kirkby Hello: I want to have a confirmation rule write a value to a single intersection (api.data.calculate) by either calling a finance business rule or writing the calculate directly into rule text. The rule loops thru base entities and certain accounts, then writes the value stored there to a single member; basically, a check to ensure that all base members foot to the top of a hierarchy in USD (We have had issues with this in the past, and now have historical data that doesn't foot in certain areas identified in our most recent conversion.) I don't want this to run on a member formula as it will significantly slow down consolidation on all other data units, and this really is a confirmation by nature; a data quality check. Our consultants suspect that this may be by design; that during the running of confirmation rule, the cube can't get written to. PS - I can confirm the data calculate is in fact running as I'm writing the calc string to the error l

Originally posted by Kathy Dyda I am setting up Transaction Matching for our Cash Reconciliations.  I have ~70 separate data sets and the data source is one file - thus I am using Data Splitting.  A separate workflow profile is needed for each data set - properties are the same only the name is different.  It seems I should be able to copy a sibling profile, change the name and save.  I have not found a way to do this.  Any recommendations? (for a bit of humor, if anyone is curious it is six page downs, and five arrow downs to get to the 0_Frame_TXM_OnePlace - Transaction Matching workspace dashboard)

Originally posted by Mike KralCompany has a few hard carriage returns in their data file.  OneStream processes it without error but multiple lines gets created and the data does not get loaded.  Looking for guidance or a snippet of code to add to the data source to remove this hard return and get everything on one line.  Thank you!

Originally posted by Charlotte Mikes We see it in the data import but it goes to none when it get validated.   The IC code has been set up in the IC dimension. I don't know where to go look to find out why the IC code load but during transformation/validation it go to none

Originally posted by Patrick Victory Let's say we have ten thousand vendors in the source system. Most (~6k) of the vendors are minor and we don't need to maintain detail about them but we still need to load all of the data. We've built out the dimension to have our "important" vendors in the appropriate hierarchies but I'd like to map all other vendors to an "Other Vendors" member. The problem is that the only way I can think to do with transformation rules is create a 1:1 map for every vendor in the dimension (~4k rules) and then a final *:* to map the rest to Other. This seems like a really terrible solution; management would be a hassle and it just looks bad. I've tried to brainstorm around some kind of connector BR logic that uses a descendants function to return a list of all vendors in the dimension and then write logic based on that but I'm not exactly sure how to implement it and it would destroy the vendor IDs themselves so drilling back would be problematic. The other soluti

Originally posted by Mike Kral Can you have a Workflow where you load data for all entities but then have other Workflows where you disable the Import Channel but use the Forms Channel? We are attempting that but once you disable the Import on the other Workflows then the Central Import data will not validate as it states there is not a open Import Channel for a specific entity.  The entity is assigned to the other Workflow so that those users can complete Forms.
