Many thanks. We may do that.
I don't know about hotlinking (you might have to speak with the AAS hackers for that), but you can easily extract files from Onestream using Data Management, with the Extract File step type:
The file can be placed on any filesystem the Onestream server has access to, and the extraction can be triggered by REST api calls.
Hi. Thanks for that. Not sure I fully know what that means, but I'm sure one of the techies here will. From what you're saying it might be mossible to do this. We CDM tool uses API's to extract data from cubeviews. I'm guess what I'm asking is would this work for the same from a spreadsheet held on OneSTream or would it be more like an SFTP service where the file was moved across to the other application?
Literally anything is possible in Onestream, it's just a matter of figuring out the exact constraints.
From what you said, it seems like CDM can make web calls. With those, it can trigger OneStream to extract the files and to place them in a location where CDM can access them; or, the files can be periodically extracted from OS and again placed where it's convenient for CDM to retrieve them. Other solutions are also possible, but might require a bit of extra coding.
Your consulting partner should be able to set this up without much trouble; if they are not available, get in touch with our Advanced Application Support team (either via Support or your Customer Success Manager), describing the exact technical details, and I'm sure they will be able to do it.
Many thanks. We may do that.
