Workflow and Data Integration

Was asked to create a dashboard that gives the HQ admin the ability to lock and unlock Workflow profiles. Found bits and parts to use the user POV and descendants. Unlock descendants isn't working but.. Was looking at member tree and some of the other tree functionality, but couldn't get it to work for profiles. My thought is the profile hierarchy then they would select what to lock or unlock. Was curious if anyone had any recommendations or solutions they could share? Appreciate it in advance! 

I am trying to load stage data via Excel and having an issue I am not sure how to fix.  I am loading data, including for attribute values 1 and 2 (AV1# and AV2#).  However, if there is a zero in either AV1 or AV2 the row is suppressed, even if there is a non-zero value in the other attribute dimension.  Is there a way around this behavior with a special token I can add or some other change?

Hi all, I'm just trying to get a feel for how common this use of proxy members is these days.  I've worked for multiple organizations and typically, if we were planning at any level higher than the most granular level of data, we would plan a number representing a group of members, at some 'proxy' member created specifically for planning purposes.  That is, we would not use some random existing base member that held actuals. For example:If our dimension hierarchy looks like the one below and we were planning at the Region Level:I would not plan for the entire RegionA by loading my planning data to "South3".Instead, I would create a unique member (say, "RegionA_Plan") and load my data there.Wondering how many companies out there would use the first method rather than the second method and what advantage there would be to this?Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.RegionA     North        North1        North2  &n

Originally posted by Nick Tracyis there a way that a users can see when the last load for an entity is?  Is it possible to present that in a dashboard or a cube view (cubeview would be embedded in our various internal worksheets).   This is just so during our close process someone can know look at OneStream and know if they are using the most recent data.  Sometimes management updates the GL fast and furiously during the close and OneStream may not always reflect the GL.   I would like an easy way for a User to be able to easily view when the last load was.   An example was a User knows the GL had updates at 9:30 am, requests the system to be updated, at 10:00 they "think" it is and use old data while the Admin updates OneStream at 10:07 or something (some people are impatient).  I would like them to be able to see there hasn't been any new loads since their request and so they know they aren't using updated data.  

Hello all,I am looking to spread budget data across 12 months evenly, however my source is only designated one time.I am looking to split time into all twelve months of the year and divide the amounts accordingly. Is this possible? 

I am trying to query the data from the client source database through a Data Adapter, but it is returning this error:Is this an issue with our setup on the OneStream end or something with the database configuration on the client side?

I am trying to write some custom reports off of the RCM tables.  Does anyone know the translation of the number in the status column from the table to the name that shows in the UI?  Or does someone have a nifty way to retrieve that from the code?Thanks,Scott

Hi, I am working on an Import/Validate/Load step and built a Connector which gets data from an Application table and a Data source which use the said connector.The connector/Data source seem to work in the sense that that gets pulled in during the import step.However, when the import step is run I receive the following error: "Summary: Detail Cache summarization did not produce any Summary Data Rows." Does any of you know what could cause the issue and what the error message means?Thank you 

Hello! I'm trying to import a SharePoint file into OneStream using a business rule. I've not found any documentation/comments which are helpful. Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be done?  Thanks! 

I'm creating a business rule to automatically lock all workflows and descendants using:   BRApi.Workflow.Locking.LockWorkflowUnitDescendants(si, wfClusterPk, profileTypeFilter, workflowChannelKey) but I'm getting the error: 'the item was not found'. I found an example online but it's not working for me. I didn't know what to populate wfClusterPk with so I defined it as (). I'm fairly new to VB.net and appreciate any help with this - thanks!      Dim wfClusterPk As New WorkflowUnitClusterPk()   Dim wfChannelKey As Guid = Guid.Empty     BRapi.Workflow.Locking.LockWorkflowUnitDescendants(si, wfClusterPk,     WorkflowProfileTypes.AllProfiles, wfChannelKey)    

Hi, we have delimited data source implemented in application. In data source we have two additional rows on top and one empty row- file works fine but now we want to retrieve information("Chicago") from skipped row(number 2). It looks that OneStream read data starting from row number 5.  Could you please help me with understanding why these first rows were skipped? Thank you in advance.

Hello all, I need to verify and confirm the method of choice to set up an NS to OS 8.5 integration WITHOUT the SIC in play.Here is what I have uncovered thus far....A SuiteAnalytics Connect is being considered via ODBC so OS can pull data from NS.  I read a few things about this.  One is that a BR would be set up in OS to call on a SuiteScript in NS initiate the data pull.  Now, the missing piece is how to set up the connection in OS if there is no ODBC installed.  Another thing is that SIC would not be needed.I also perused a blog that stated that Support can set up s direct connection to NS from OS, provided they have the NS info.  Can anyone please confirm this approach?Rest API could be leveraged but looking for an alternative. Any input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Ed P 

Hi, I get this error when saving data into a particular WP#Workflow S#Scenario T#Time member. Cannot execute step because the specified step classification doesn't exist for the workflow profile When I click OK to the error, when I refresh the data is saved. Any ideas what the problem is? What is a step classification? Thanks G

Hello, I've successfully set up an automatic upload using the Harvest Folder. However, I want to use the Skipline functionality within the file to reduce the import size. This works perfectly when I manually import the file into the specific Import Step. But when using the automatic upload via the Harvest Folder, the Skipline functionality doesn't seem to be applied. Does anyone have an idea for a possible workaround?

When we created our application years ago for a particular source our account mapping only needed the Source Account to map.  Now I have a need to do the account mapping based on a Location Source field that denotes a location for just two records exceptions.  Can I make a Composite Rule mapping that somehow includes the location from the Source file to create a composite rule for this exception or is the only solution to now include the source location field on my data source, and modify all the current mappings to have a wildcard for that field except my exceptions that need to be mapped to a different account.

Is it possible to get this setting in a business rule?Thanks,Scott

Hi, I notice that with dashboards, when allowed to prompt the user for values for their parameters, save the  user's last used value in said dashboard and populate that as the default value when prompted. By comparison, cube views don't store that information, and populate whatever is in the default value for the parameter when prompted. Is it possible to change what behaviour is used when parameters are requested from the user from a dashboard, and how would I do so? Thanks! Alex

Dear Community, Is there any way to delete the workflow channels in bulk? Currently we are in the process of deleting the unused UD7 members in the application and the workflow channels are setup based on the UD7 members. Since the UD7 members and the channels are in huge volume. Just wanted to understand if there is any rule or a marketplace solution which can be used to delete the WF channels in bulk? Any solution would help. Thank you so much.

Hello, I am trying to query a local app which have 200k rows on SQL server using SIC (Smart Integration Cloud). However, I get the message : "Received an unexpected EOF or 0 bytes from the transport stream." There is an online troubleshooting which I added below. It seems this is a memory issue. However, there's no mention on how to add memory (on the server ? on my local machine ? how to do it ?). --> could you please help me sorting this out ? Regards, EDIT : I get the same error message when querying a table of only 1 row, 1 column. Memory Issues If you receive any of the following errors, increase the memory in your Smart Integration Connector Local Gateway Server. For queries returning over 1 million records, 32 GB or more RAM is recommended. "Error while copying content to a stream. Received an unexpected EOF or 0 bytes from the transport stream."

I have the code below in an Extender BR.  It runs fine if I run it manually in the BR or manually through a DM job.  But when it runs in the Task Scheduler it fails, and I get the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error.  Any thoughts?  Dim wfUnitClusterPk As WorkflowUnitClusterPk = BRApi.Workflow.General.GetWorkflowUnitClusterPk(si, wfProfileName, wfScenarioName, wfTimeName) Dim ImportInfo As New LoadTransformProcessInfo Try ImportInfo = BRApi.Import.Process.ExecuteParseAndTransform(si, wfUnitClusterPk, "", Nothing, TransformLoadMethodTypes.Replace, SourceDataOriginTypes.FromDirectConnection, False) Catch ex As Exception log.AppendLine("Import Done - Status: " & ImportInfo.Status & " - RowCount: " & FormatNumber(ImportInfo.RowCount, 0,,,-1)) log.AppendLine(ImportInfo.ErrorMessage) log.AppendLine("------------------------------") log.AppendLine(ex.GetBaseException.Message.ToString.Trim) End Try

I am running some data loads using Batch Harvest. I want to be able to capture the Validate Transformation and Validate Intersections errors to include in an email.  I am able to get the Validate Intersections errors from the application table.  Does anyone know how I would get the Validate Transformation errors?   If I run the entire job within a BR then I can get the Transformation Errors, but I would rather run it through the Batch Harvest.  I appreciate any input.Thank you.Scott

HI Guys,  Is there anyway via a method query or rule in a data adaptor that I can specify parameters to give me all file names related to a workflow. I preferably want all file names in a specific workflow for all years in a data table of columns: (Workflow,Year,Filename). Presumably doable with a dashboard data set rule but Ive never played with the staging engine before!  Guessing also that its probably a case of looping years and appending tables.  Thanks,   Tom
