Reduce data unit size
Good afternoon, After one of our calculations started to behave slowly, we have been advised that we should reduce our data unit size. Consultant explanation "Real Cell Count is relatively low, at 5 million cells. But to aggregate those 5 million cells, the system will have to request every monthly value for all of those 2.6 million rows from the database, hold in memory which ones have data and keep track of the ones that don't" In this sense, reading the forum, seems the solutions are any (or all) of the following: Leverage BI Blend to aggregate large data sets for reporting Load into Cube at summarized level Always use RemoveZeros() in api.Data.Calculate and api.Data.GetDataBuffer functions Consider different Entity dimension Vertical extensibility (not horizontal) Consider storing some data outside Cube (stage) Just wanted to check if you have applied any other solutions into your projects? as first time we need to reduce data unit size.

We're moving most of the Business Rules to Workspaces Assemblies under PV 8.4. - We have several Extensibility Rules that are run by multiple Data Management (DM) Jobs like you. - Hence, we included separate DM Step Services (DMSS) in the same Service Factory (SF). - The result of this SF setup was chaos. - We saw that launching one DM Job by a given DMSS in the SF will also launch other DM Jobs by their DMSS in the SF. We couldn't find enough practical advice on the SF/DMSS setups in the Design Guide to overcome this chaos. Pls share how to set up Data Management Step Services in a Service Factory to launch one Extensibility Rule/DM Job at a time. TY.
How to include Member IDs in data export
We are using an extender business rule to run FdxExecuteDataUnit and write the data (with dimensionality) to a file. The file generated seems to be a standard format with a column for each dimension. Does anyone have any ideas on how to include the Member IDs in the file export? Thank you, Denise
DataManagementEventHandler Args
Hi, I try to get the data unit information of different DM steps, such as Calculate, Copy Data, Reset Scenario, Clear Scenario, Custom Calculate. For a regular "Calculate" I'll get the information via Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As DataManagementEventHandlerArgs) As Object Dim sbLog As New Text.StringBuilder Try Dim returnValue As Object = args.DefaultReturnValue Dim dmStepMetadataInfo As DataMgmtStepMetadataInfo If args.OperationName = BREventOperationType.DataManagement.ExecuteStep Then dmStepMetadataInfo = DirectCast(args.inputs(0), DataMgmtStepMetadataInfo) Dim entList As String = String.Join(",",dmStepMetadataInfo.EntityInfos.Select(Function(miMem) miMem.member.Name).ToList().ToArray()) as it is described in another communits-post. But if I do a "Copy Data", I don't know how to get the submitted data unit. args.inputs(0) is of type OneStream.Finance.Engine.DataMgmtStepMetadataInfo as far as I know from using the error log messages. But there is no documentation of the type "DataMgmtStepMetadataInfo" and I won't get the data unit infos the same way I did in the code above. args.inputs(1) is less interesting. It contains the user name, the DM step description and task activity information. There are no more args inputs. Any ideas how to pull the data unit information out of "DataMgmtStepMetadataInfo"? Regards, MarcusCube Data Access - pull data to parameter?
Hi, I have an admin dashboard where I show all parameter values and information I need before I start my Data mgmt jobs. There is one value I dont figure out how to show in my dashboard. I have a Conditional input rule on the Cube. Can I create a parameter or Data Adapter or something to be able to pull the value and show in my dashboard? I only need to retrieve the Scenario value.How to get cell context?
This is the layout of my CV I'm using an XFBR in rows (and columns); the rules for each scenario are different; how do I get the context from the columns? In other words, when the scenario is Budget I want to apply specific rules for that scenario, same thing for Actual. This would be the script: Namespace Workspace.__WsNamespacePrefix.__WsAssemblyName.BusinessRule.DashboardStringFunction.REP_ParamHelper Public Class MainClass Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As DashboardStringFunctionArgs) As Object Try If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("GetAccount") Then //Do something End If End Function End Class End Namespace
Dimensions Descriptions via PowerBI connector
Hi, does anyone know how to get the dimension descriptions (other then default) into PowerBI via the OneStream PowerBI Connector? In the OneStream PowerBI Connector, there is the "Get Dimension" part with an "include descriptions" option but it only loads the default description (which is english in our setup). We have also a German culture setting and all descriptions are setup in English and German but I cannot find a possibility to get the German descriptions in PowerBI.

Hello OS Community - We are running into below error while trying to load 1 + million records from SAP via connector business rule. Tried with all the options on Cache Page Size limit, at present it is set as below. We did not have any luck so far. Any recommendations or guidance is much appreciated.
