Dimension Library access
Hi, I am in the process of testing security for applications. I have view dimension library access, I do not have manage meta data access. I have added security groups to access and maintenance groups for which i only have access to "Access group". I cannot edit any members, which is correct based on my security, but i am trying to understand the reason why the meta data is not greyed out? It appears as normal, and i can edit, but when i try save the changes, it says i do not have access. Which is great, it means it works. I was just expecting it to be greyed out like for example cube views. Just curious as to why meta data isnt greyed out as well? Would appreciate any feedback
Environment Management
Hi All, In your OneStream implementation, how many environments do you have? Dev, UAT and Prod? Or do you also have Pre-Prod environment that is common in ERP systems? Also, in the UAT environment do you also have copy of data so that when testing happens or developers need to test the changes - there is enough sample data to test? Would you consider brininging data from Prod, randomize it and load into UAT env so that UAT env data at all intersections as Prod? Thanks!
Database space control policies
Hi! We are trying to control the size increase in our production application. We know the growth comes from: Stage tables that allow users to drill down and back onto source data. Data records Audit tables (they can grow a lots if they are recording continuous changes to rules, data for example) Logs which will impact Framework database growth (task activity and error logs, will vary depending on the detail login set in BR, DM and on the system configuration as well as your retention policy) Load transactional data, which will increate your data units and data records unnececarily, which BIBlend should be used for this type of data load instead of loading it to the finance cube. We have analyzed it and we realized the StageAttributeTable and other stage tables has a significant size. Has ayone performed databse maintenance by deleting data from the stage tables? Is it possible to do that while keeping the cube data intact and workflows completed? Any ideas or best practices regarding database maintenance would be very welcome. Regards, XaviIssue with Excel Data Extraction via Drilldown
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well! I’m having an issue with an Excel extraction of my data rows through drilldown. I have a French profile and my Excel is set to French, so when I have separators with spaces, it extracts the amounts in a strange format. Have you encountered this problem before? Thank you very much!
Data Cell Access Security (Slice Security) has stopped working after we upgraded to OS v8.5
Hi, After we recently upgraded to V8.5 , it seems the slice security has stopped working. Can anyone suggest what would have gone wrong? Cube Data Access Security for Entity is True The parameters are set as User is in group and Data cell in the Filter -> Apply access and stop (Read Only) User is in group and Data cell is not in the Filter -> Apply access and continue (No access) User is NOT in group and Data cell is not in the Filter -> Apply access and continue (No access) In the Account filter , am passing 1 account say Sales but when am checking the access , user is able to access all the accounts. There is no other security available in this particular base cube other than thisUnable to connect to OneStream Login Error
Hi, I'm seeing this error for a user that has been setup in OneStream. We've attempted to exit out of the application and run it, but the same error message persist. So far no one else is experiencing a similar issue. Has anyone experience this issue? Would it be simply a configuration issue? ThanksUsing OneStream to Track Inflation and Related Metrics
Hi everyone, I’m interested in learning how other organizations are leveraging OneStream to track inflation and other account-related metrics. Currently, our approach involves using the Account dimension to explicitly separate inflation impacts for specific expense categories. For example: FOOD_BEV – Food & Beverage Expense INFL_FOOD_BEV – Inflation related to Food & Beverage Expense These inflation rates are externally calculated and loaded via XFD uploads. To support different reporting views, we load the data into three separate accounts: _PER – Monthly _QTR – Quarterly _ANN – Annual We also use a view dynamic account without a suffix, which adjusts based on the selected view. Exploring Alternative Approaches I’m considering whether using a User Defined (UD) dimension might offer more flexibility. For instance: Keep the account as FOOD_BEV Use the UD to switch between metrics like: "Dollars" (actuals/estimate) "Inflation" (loaded via XFD) "Per Guest" (dynamically calculated) "Pricing" (potentially another loaded or calculated metric) This method could streamline the structure and allow for more dynamic reporting, especially if inflation rates are only loaded monthly and calculated for QTD/YTD using weighted averages. Open to Ideas I’d love to hear how others are handling similar use cases. Are you using UD dimensions for this type of analysis? Are there better ways to structure inflation tracking in OneStream? Thanks in advance for sharing your insights! — Jeremy MorganHow do I change a parameter value in a dashboard?
Hi everyone, I have a business rules that is triggered through a dashboard. This Business rule is looking at a True/False parameter. How do I add the parameter to the dashboard and with a dropdown list showing the valid values (true/false) that can be used to save the value to the parameter? Thanks in advance,
