Workflow and Data Integration

Hi all,I have a 'working' DrillBack script which connects happily to my SAP ByDesign system. However, I want to extend it's flexibility and get it to DrillBack to the active WF year and period which is not necessarily the current WF. However, regardless of me even hard coding a start and end date rather than receiving the WF settings, it will always take the year element from my BR script but the currently active accounting period in SAP ByDesign as the end month. Is it a OneStream issue or a SAP ByDesign issue that I am not understanding whereby it will ignore my web-request parameter and just go with the active period ? Example 1 of the WF timeDim wRequest As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://my999999.sapbydesign.com/sap/byd/odata/FINGENERALLEDGER_analytics.svc/RPFINGLAU02_Q0001QueryResults?$select=CPOSTING_DATE,CCOMPANY_UUID,CGLACCT,TGLACCT,CFISCPER,CACC_DOC_UUID,TACCDOCTYPE,CNOTE_IT,TOEDREF_OBJ_TC,FCDEBIT_CURRCOMP,FCCREDIT_CURRCOMP&$filter=PARA_COMPANY%20eq%20%2

OSAdmin Is there a way through which OneStream user's ability to use/view the Lock/Unlock options on Workflow Profiles (Review, Base Input, Parent Input) Steps can be restricted/disabled, we have provided below application security roles to Admins Only, still users having access to their respective workflow have the right click - lock/unlock optionThanksVishal Pai

I would like ask about culture settings and how it influence casting from text value to decimal number. We have an automated import from external system using delimited files and pre-stage table in application database. From the file the data is loaded as a string and from the string it is translated to the decimal value in connector. We use the query here (see that there is explicitlely specified a culture to be used for a casting): selectIFRS_account, ledger_id, currency, pairing_code, ICS_code, Partner_description, PARSE (local_ccy_amount as decimal(26,5) using 'en-US') as local_ccy_amount, PARSE (transaction_ccy_amount as decimal(26,5) using 'en-US') as transaction_ccy_amountfrom [dbo].[MyExternalTable]where importGUID = '{import_GUID}'and _tbValid = 'Y'and coalesce(ICS_code, '') = '' During the testing we found that culture settings for user have an influence on the results. How is that possible? I thought this is a job for a server side and there should be no effect of client app

Hello team,has anyone implemented the drillback functionnality in onestream ?I need help to build it ? Is there a pre-build module ? Or what are the steps to put it in place ?Thanks in advance !!

Hello,I am wondering if it is possible to open the Data Attachments box by clicking a button on a dashboard instead of right clicking on the cell and selecting Data Attachments for Selected Cell and then clicking the Create Data Attachment button?Thanks!

Hi all,In our use case, users are uploading data through files into OneStream. Is there a possibility to check if the file have 1000-seperators in the file and block the upload if this is the case? Reason is that within one workflow the 1000 seperators could differ between users and we want to avoid issues in this instance. Ideally we have a parser rule that checks the amount column.With kind regards,Tim Vierhout

Hello! How do you manage recurring journal entries? We go through a manual process where we pull the JE data out of OS, manipulate the information into a text file and load the text file to create whatever JEs are needed the next period but it's not an easy or straightforward process. Please let me know if you have a better way! Thanks, Nicole

Hello,I am creating a cube view to be used in a Dashboard on an Workflow in order for a client to enter Quarterly Commentary.I am having two issues.1. When I set the time on the Explanation Workflow(Annotation) column to a Quarter, I receive green cells and cannot enter a comment. When I switch it to the quarter month, I have white cells and can enter a comment. I just want to confirm that this is normal functionality and that we cannot write comments to the quarter.2. The second issue is that I would like to write the comment to the BeforeAdj Origin member. I am able to do this when I have the Explanation (Annotation) column looking to one of my Forecast scenarios. When I switch the column to look at the Actual scenario (which is the scenario I want to be looking at) the cells turn green. In this case, they only turn white if I switch the Origin member to Import. I must have a setting somewhere that needs to be adjusted but I am having trouble locating it. Any insights would be greatl

Hi all, I need to assign a value in a field, dependeing on an other. I can do it in Delimited Files using  "api.Parser.DelimitedParsedValues()" but I don't know wich function can provide me the string of an other field.So, in conclusion: how can I do this in a Connector Complex expression? Thanks!  

Hello, I'm trying to find a way to call an Extensibility Rule in Data Management sequence, is that possible? Thank you  

Hello,I need to create an automation that uploads flat files with data, that are on a sharefolder, to OneStream.When uploaded into OneStream, those files should be removed from that sharefolder.Does anyone have any suggestion?Thank you!Ricardo

Happy Holidays/ Black Friday,Is there a way to lock downstream steps in a workflow, unless the first step in workflow is completed?As we all know, a workflow shows all the steps. For example, our first step is to load data. Our 2nd step will allow users to make manual entries. We don't want users to jump to 2nd step without passing / getting a green light on first step.It seems like a common request.Thanks in advance.

We have many small controllerships that have to back each other up so they have access to submit and approve/post a journal but we need to be able to prevent them form posting their own journal.  This is an audit requirement

Hello, community! I'm not sure what the real difference between validate vs retransform would be. Look at my example: On purpose, I changed the IC to false, and I ran the retransform. It presented the intersection error, but the transformation and intersections are shown as valid when checking task activity. Thank you for your help.     Oliveira, Vanessa    

In the monthly close process, we have a number of forms. All workflows have the same Form templates profile. Cubeviews refer to |WFtext1|. On wftext1 is Entity name (one entity per workflow).I have one form that is only applicable to a selection of entities.Is it possible (and how) to parameterise this, so the form will only be visible in a selection of workflows (I do not want to create  different Forms Template Profile for theses workflows)?

Hi I am getting some large numbers out of my confirmation rules and I am looking for ways to format the output so it is easier to read. Preferably commas between the thousands, millions, billions... etc but would also like to know what other formatting options are available as well.   Currently my output is the below and I am trying to make the 'math.Round(Acc1,2)' part easier to read.   Does anyone know of a resource that lists the different formatting options?  Or just how to add the comma seperators?   Thanks Simon

For those of us that are software developers, we are accustomed to this message. "The underlying connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server. This issue occurred after 68 seconds." When this issue comes up, it is normally because of some event that breaks TCP connectivity.  Occasionally this happens because of network misconfiguration, or load-balancer misconfiguration.   This is one of two errors we are seeing after migrating our REST api workloads to onestream's Azure environment.  It happens fairly frequently, albeit in an unpredictable way.  I haven't found a pattern yet.  It doesn't happen on-premise.   If anyone has experience deploying a REST api solution to Azure, please let me know if this is an error message you encounter frequently.  It may not even be a problem with onestream's software; perhaps the root cause is with the Azure load-balancer.  I am also looking into other possible ex

Hi;  Would it be possible to run a Dashboard or Cube View using a Data Management job, and store the results as Excel and not as a PDF.  Appreciate any suggestion in the right direction.    thanks Kumar

Hi,We would like to export the TRX files and use them in an external BI setup and secondly we would like to shedule that export and have it happen on a regular basisThe format is just nicer to work with than the XML files, when you use the aplication export functionality.KrPer  

Hello, We are working to identify what Cube Views are used within the workflow structure.  For steps that include views of Forms, this is easy as the Form Audit tab shows exactly what Cube View is being used on the form.  For dashboards, we are having difficulty identifying which Cube Views are embedded within each dashboard easily.  We are aware of the "Show Objects That Reference the Selected Item" button within Cube Views, however it doesn't seem to show us clearly if a Cube View is included in a dashboard. Does anyone know an easier method to identify what Cube Views are included in each workflow step and dashboard? Thanks for the help!

Would anyone be willing to share how they are locking data to end users, but still allowing consolidation users to make adjustments?When implementing OneStream, we created workflows for users to load trial balance data, complete forms and load journals. We also created a “Corporate_Consol” workflow where we the Consolidation users could load journals after the workflows were locked. We figured out that if the top month for the workflow was not locked, but the workflow channels under were locked, users could still submit data in OneStream using Excel forms. Now we are locking the months under each workflow to avoid user changes. This makes it hard when we have post close adjustments to book in the “Corporate_Consol” workflow, as we have to unlock each of the workflow months where there is an adjustment needed for an entity in the workflow.Thank you for any help/input!

Is it possible to update the Data Filters for a particular dimension used in a DM extract within a Business Rule? I am creating a dashboard that will have a button to run a DM sequence. This DM sequence runs a data export, but I would like to be able to update the Accounts used in the filter of the extract before running the extract itself (via a BR).

Hi! New to the community. I have a user that has to manage 10 or so entities and it rollforwards. He need to click on each entity to enter in the data. do you know if there is way to set up an excel import for a rollforward activity where i can put the rollfoward activity pieces down a column the entities across the top and then import that entire spreadsheet?

Hey everyone. We are implementing a use case for a client that requires import of transactional data found within a csv file. The data is comma delimited, and enclosed in quotes. For example, if the data source contained only three fields, this is what it would look like:"Field 1 value","Field 2 value","Field 3 value"The problem that I'm having is that sometimes, Field 2 also contains a quote in it. For example, the client sells parts, and Field 2 contains a description of the part. The description happens to contain a quote (for example, 2" pipe). The data extract routine the client uses automatically includes a second quote to cancel out the first. So the value of Field 2 in this example would be: 2"" pipe. The file, if opened in notepad, would look like this:"Field 1 value","2"" pipe","Field 3 value"I've not figured out a way for OneStream to correctly handle this. The only solution that seems to work is pre-processing the file to strip out instances of two double quotes that aren't
