Quick OneStream Rule Behavior Check – O#Top Returning O#Import Value?
Hi Team, Quick question — has anyone else encountered this behavior in rule logic? I’m working with a standard api.Data.GetDataCell(...) call that includes the O#Top member in the POV. Here's the line I'm using: Dim baseValue As Decimal = api.Data.GetDataCell("C#Local:A#1104000000:F#CLO:O#Top:I#Top:U1#Top:U2#Top:U3#Top:U4#Top:U5#Top:U6#Top:U7#Top:U8#Top").CellAmount. BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, baseValue) On the Cube View, this correctly returns -501 under O#Top. However, when I log the value in the rule using: - It outputs the value from O#Import, not the aggregated O#Top result I expected. This rule worked flawlessly for 3 years until now on Version 7.4. As a workaround, I manually aggregated the base origin members in the rule, which produced the expected result. However, I’m still unclear why O#Top didn’t aggregate properly in this case, given that it functions as expected in Cube Views. I checked and compared with several other apps, including Golfstream, in which this rule worked. Environment: This behavior was observed in 7.4. After upgrading to version 8.4, the issue was resolved. I’d like to understand what may have caused this inconsistency, particularly: Could a bug affect the Origin dimension, which was resolved in 8.4? Has anyone experienced this behavior before? Appreciate any insights or similar experiences the community can share!
Public Overloads Function GetCalculatedFxRate... is obsolete
Is someone able to assist me with an alternative method for GetCalculatedFxRate on line 14 of the code below? We just upgraded to 8.5.1 and this is no longer being supported. In 8.2.3 it was still working. This is a parser business rule that is being applied to a data source and calculation happening when data is being imported. '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Purpose: Get Translation rate for To/From currencies on current record. ' Store translation rate in global variable to use with subsequent records for performance improvements. '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dim time As String = api.CurrentDataClusterKey.TimeName 'Get current time. Dim currencyRate As Decimal = globals.GetDecimalValue(fromCurrency & "-" & toCurrency & "-" & time) 'Check Global variable for current translation rate. If Not currencyRate = Nothing Then 'If Globals is populated, return rate from global variable. Return currencyRate Else 'Else, get translation rate from Database and store in Global variable. Dim rateType As FxRateType = BRApi.Finance.Scenario.GetFxRateTypeForRevenueExpense(si, api.CurrentDataClusterKey.ScenarioID) 'Get Revenue rate type for current scenario Dim defaultCurrencyId As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Cubes.GetDefaultCurrencyId(si, 0) 'Get Cube's default currency ID Dim objActFxRate As New FxRatePkUsingNames(rateType.ToString, time, fromCurrency, toCurrency) 'Get rate information for current translation. Dim rate As Decimal = BRApi.Finance.Data.GetCalculatedFxRate(si, defaultCurrencyID, objActFxRate) 'Get translation Amount Globals.SetDecimalValue(fromCurrency & "-" & toCurrency & "-" & time, rate) 'Store current translation amount in global variable. Return rate 'Return Translation Rate. End If Thank you, DeniseRead 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 object
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, MarcusExternal/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.ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule ... but in workspaces
Hi, I came across an update function in the business rules for ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule Previous function (still in use) : BRApi.Finance.Calculate.ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule(si, brName, functionName, nameValuePairs, timeType) New function for workspaces : BRApi.Finance.Calculate.ExecuteCustomCalculateBusinessRule(si, workspaceID, brName, functionName, nameValuePairs, timeType) We can indeed at least in version 8.5 create Finance Custom Calculate Services : However, these don't use any business rule name, hence my confusion ? How do we execute a custom calculate service which is currently within my workspace assembly services ? Or should it be used in a different way ? Regards,
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
