OneStream Server Configuration
Hi all, while configuring a local OneStream instance, I know that I have to copy the "Encrypted Connection String For Server" from DataBase Configuration, putting it into the Application Server Configuration File, in the "Database Server Connections" item. I see that there's also a "Is Connection String Encrypted" flag, so I suppose I could set a clear connection string. Is not clear which would be the format of an unencrypted string (I took a look in the Installation Guide but I wasn't able to find what I was looking for...). Since this is a local development instance, there's no need to secure it... Could someone share this knowledge (or point me in the right direction) ? Thanks a lot FabioGJuly 2025 Certification Prep Webinar

Issue with Zero Input Not Triggering Calculations in OneStream
Hi all, I’ve encountered an issue in OneStream where inputting a value of 0 does not trigger any calculations, while entering 0.1 or any other non-zero value works as expected. From what I understand, this seems to be related to Zero Suppression, which may be preventing the system from storing or processing the zero value. However, I’d like to confirm if this is standard behavior, or if there’s a recommended best practice for handling zeros in data input and calculations (e.g., in cube views or business rules). Thanks!
OneStream and D365 Integration
Hi everyone, I'm currently working on integrating OneStream with Dynamics 365 (D365) and would love to hear about your experiences. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing which connector you used for the integration. Did you opt for OData, Synapse Link, or another method? Any insights, tips, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!Compilation Chain issues
Hi all, I wrote a bunch of BRules and a couple of Assemblies (in different workspaces) that work together to perform calculations. So in the end I have a dependency chain like this: BR => Assembly => Assembly Things works like a charm. Sometimes, after I made changes to an Assembly, I get a weird error saying that OneStream cannot find my assembly. While this is true when it cannot compile correctly (due to errors), it doesn't make sense to me when it compiles fine. Even if I compile my assemblies before I run the BRules, sometimes it happens. I'm trying to find out an explanation and I thought that: I run the BRule and OneStream think that Assembly1 - a dependence - is "old", so.... OneStream start compiling Assembly1, and, while compiling it, OneStream think that Assembly2 - a dependence - is "old", so.... OneStream start compiling Assembly2 Maybe these compilations are running async and in parallel... And, maybe, the last compilation takes too much time, taking the first one returning the error. This is just an idea that could explain this issue, but I'm quite sure this is the right way: when I started working on OneStream, my code wasn't affected, IMHO because the assemblies were small enough to be compiled in a reasonable time. But now they are growing up, and the compilation time is growing too. In any case, I'm wondering it there's a way to solve this annoying issue: I often have to (re)launch the same BRule and, on a customer's perspective, seeing a compilation error (even if fake) doesn't make a good impression. Thanks FabioG

Extracting Metadata
Hi, I want to extract metadata in OneStream. While extracting the Accounts metadata, I want to extract both the 'Parent description' and 'Account type'. Through the grid view if you check the 'Display Parent Child Relationships' box, the account type goes away! I want to extract both of them together in a .csv file. This process also needs to be automated to be extracted on a scheduled basis. What would be the best solution to this problem?
