Is there an example of using System.Reflection namespace with OneStream APIs
I'm driving myself a little crazy at the moment. Sometime in the last few days, I stumbled across a Community Post (I think) about how to use System.Reflection to programmatically list OneStream API object methods, overloads, parameters, etc. At the time I saw it, I thought "Oh, that's cool!" and remembered that if I needed to find it again, I just needed to search for "Reflection" in community posts. Well, for the life of me, I can't find the post again. Does anyone know of a post that describes how to use System.Reflection's methods, like GetMethods on OneStream API objects? I know I'm being lazy and could work out the code myself, but what I read had already worked out the BindingFlags and other parameters on the calls that were specific to OneStream.
Returning a success or failure message from DM via REST API
Hi all, I'm triggering a DM job using the REST API. The job is running a business rule. I handle errors in the BR but I need to actually return the success or failure as a response to the postman request. Right now, I get a success message no matter what happens in the BR. Thanks in advance!
Entity Parent Business Rules not working
I using UD8 to call master data of entity. Other master data is work, but there is issue when I call entity parent. Seem like the business rules is not working. Not sure where the missing part. If api.View.IsAnnotationType() Then ' Dim EntityID As Integer = api.Pov.Entity.MemberId ' 'Return the Account name setting for this text-based View member '' Return api.Entity.GetLocalCurrency(EntityID).Name ' 'Dim ParentId As Integer = api.Pov.Parent.MemberId '' return api.Entity.par ''Return api.Pov.Parent.MemberId.ToString 'Dim objList As = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetParents(si, dimPk, entity, includeRootMemberInResult, dimDisplayOptions) 'Dim oblist2 = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetParents() 'Dim ParentId As Integer = api.Pov.Parent.MemberId ' Dim ParentName As String = api.Members.GetMemberName(DimType.Entity.Id,ParentId) 'Return ParentName 'Else ' 'Return a NoData Datacell ' Return api.Data.CreateDataCellObject(0.0,True, False) End IfRead a specific cell value from a Spreadsheet object
I have a need to read a cell value from a Spreadsheet object (Cell D3 to be specific) that will change the color of a button object in a dashboard. The cell converts color parameters to ARGB style, and I want to use this to show an example of the color in another object. Thoughts? I want the cell vale to set a literal parameter which will refresh the objectExternal/Internal Gross Profit Calc
Hello, I'm trying to calculate an External and Internal Gross Profit calculation based off a few conditions. To calculate External/Internal GP, I need to allocate the ExtCGSOther group + OpExp using our UD1 MFGResale between External/Internal using an allocation basis of ExtMLBS and IntMLBS (with the exception of account 6123 which is 100% External). I need this calculation to be on a dept by dept basis. I'm not really sure where to start and I tried looking at Golfstream but couldn't find anything that fits what my company is asking me to build. Thanks, Will
FDXExecuteCubeView
Hi, I am working on extracting data from a Cube view to a flat file. I am using FDXExecuteCubeView query to extract. The extract file is executed to run for one year. I am seeing for each Entity, Scenario, Time (DU) a log entry is created in Task Activity. The Task Activity is getting flooded with cube view log entries. Is there a way to stop the Cube view entries for each Page (Entity, Scenario, Time).? On the Cube view I have the log setting set to False and also in the FDXExecuteCubeView setting I have the logStatistics setting set to False. Is there a way to not log the entry for each time cube view is run for (Entity, Scenario, Period)? Appreciate your inputs!SQL Table Component Not Defaulting
Hello, Something a little different here. Below is an OS Dashboard. The client is leveraging SmartLinks to navigate specified users here (via Email). Upon selecting the link, the user is navigated here on the browser. The first red box indicates the Project to select. SmartLinks allows this to be prepopulated so the dashboard is defaulted with the correct information upon arrival. Everything is working as expected besides the pesky SQL table editor component. Web View: It is important to note that the SQL Table Editor component is populated via Dashboard Extender rule, which is executed when the Project is selected. In this case, the project is already selected, but I cant seem to get the extender rule to execute upon arrival to the dashboard. Any ideas? I want to believe this is less with the new SmartLinks feature and more with standard OS logic.
Slow performances with dynamic accounts export
Hello, We experience performance problems when we try to export Onestream data for insertion into a third-party system. For 100 entities and 12 months, processing takes 20 hours and is often killed by the system. Apparently, it's the dynamic accounts that take up a lot of time during extraction. Do you have the same problem and what are the solutions to optimize the export? Thanks
Audit trail for O#Import data
Hi, I've been looking into the audit trails for O#Forms and O#Import data. The audit trail for O#Forms data seems to be in good shape, with changes tracked in tables like DataEntryAuditCell and DataEntryAuditSource. For O#Import data, I've found some audit information in the staging area tables, such as StageArchivesInformation and vStageSummaryTargetData. However, this doesn't cover everything - for example, it doesn't account for data that's been imported but not yet loaded into the cube, or data imported using a business rule. Is there a way to get a more complete audit trail for O#Import data, that focus on the Cube data rather than Stage data?
Decimal column is always dirty
Hi, I need to check in a Table View if certain column values are dirty and I've noticed that when you call the IsDirty() function on any decimal type column (and this only happens on that type), it always returns 'true' even though no changes took place. Because of this i need to manually parse the value and check if the originalValue is different from the current value. At this point I was wondering if this behaviour is intended or not, it seems odd that IsDirty() returns the correct value for every type of value BUT a decimal one. Any clarification on this matter is appreciated, thanks in advance. 🙂
