Extract Active Entity list from OneStream by using Data Management Job
Hi all, Happy New Year! Is there a way of extracting an active entity list from OneStream including Entity Name, Description, and Currency fields by using a data management job? Any ideas will be app...

I see why you want to use a DM. Here is some basic BR which gets the list of entities from member info and writes a csv file to the system. You may modify to suit your requirements.
Namespace OneStream.BusinessRule.Extender.ExportEntitiesMetaData Public Class MainClass Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As ExtenderArgs) As Object Try Select Case args.FunctionType Case Is = ExtenderFunctionType.Unknown, ExtenderFunctionType.ExecuteDataMgmtBusinessRuleStep Dim configSettings As AppServerConfigSettings = AppServerConfig.GetSettings(si) Dim folderPath As String = FileShareFolderHelper.GetDataManagementExportUsernameFolderForApp(si, True, configSettings.FileShareRootFolder, si.AppToken.AppName) & "\MetaData" If Not Directory.Exists(folderPath) Then Directory.CreateDirectory(folderPath) Dim filePath As String = folderPath & "\EntityList.csv" If File.Exists(filePath) Then File.Delete(filePath) Using dbConnFW As DbConnInfo = BRAPi.Database.CreateFrameworkDbConnInfo(si) Using dbConnApp As DbConnInfo = BRAPi.Database.CreateApplicationDbConnInfo(si) 'Get the Members using member script Dim mf As String = "E#YourEntityTop.Base" 'Set up entity dimension Dim objDim As OneStream.Shared.Wcf.Dim = DimsWcf.GetDimUsingName(dbConnFW, dbConnApp, "Entities") Dim members As List(Of MemberInfo) = MetadataWcf.GetMembersUsingFilter(dbConnFW, dbConnApp, Nothing, si.WorkflowClusterPk, si.PovDataCellPk, objDim.DimPk, mf, 0, Nothing, Nothing, True, False, True) Dim sb As New StringBuilder sb.AppendLine("Name,Description,Currency") For Each memInfo As MemberInfo In members sb.AppendLine(memInfo.Member.Name & "," & memInfo.Member.Description.Replace(",", "_") & "," & BRApi.Finance.Entity.GetLocalCurrency(si, memInfo.Member.MemberId).Name) Next ' Write the output string to a file Dim sw As New StreamWriter(filePath) sw.Write(sb) sw.Close() End Using End Using End Select Return Nothing Catch ex As Exception Throw ErrorHandler.LogWrite(si, New XFException(si, ex)) End Try End Function End Class End Namespace - 4 years ago
It's InUse function, use it as follows:
For Each memInfo As MemberInfo In members
Dim boolInUse As Boolean = BRApi.Finance.Entity.InUse(si, memInfo.Member.MemberID, varyByScenarioTypeId, varyByTimeId)
If boolInUse Then
sb.AppendLine(memInfo.Member.Name...
ETC...
Make sure you define varybyscenario and varybytime types in the InUse function.

Not sure why you want to do from DM job but using the Grid view from the Dimension is easiest and then right click on the results table and export. Data Management as it suggests is ideal for data jobs and not for Metadata exports though it could be possible.

Sai, we want this to be lights out - scheduled so that we can send to other applications in our organization. I don't want to manually perform this step every month. The task scheduler is limited in OneStream, thus the reason for asking it to be a data management job. Preferably a delimited file like a CSV but other formats would work.

Thank you, Sai, for your guidance and attaching the sample BR here on the forums. I will try this and let you know if I have any questions .

Sai, I was able to pull the entity metadata into a csv file by using the BR you attached earlier. Is there any way to exclude inactive entities in the rule? The current rule is pulling all entities (active and In-active) and we would like to pull only the active members for the current close period set on Global Time POV in OneStream. Thank you in advance.
