Need to reset import validate load step via BR
Hi, I am trying to load the data from a file into the cube (import validate load steps) via Business Rule and while I am able to load it successfully. I am not sure how to reset it if the job fails in between. For instance: Data pulled from the file gets failed at validate step due to some transformation rule issue. Now if I trigger the rule again , it will not do anything as import step is already completed. I need it to reset clear the cache from stage and redo the load process again when the business rule is triggered. Can you please assist? Below is the code being used
Hybrid Scenario – Pre-Aggregated Member Setup for Entity Summarization (V8.4)
Hi Team, I’m working on a Hybrid Scenario setup where the goal is to copy data from a source scenario to a management (MGT) scenario. This allows the MGT team to work with the data independently, using their own workflow with high-level access. So far, the base data copy works well. However, I want to summarize entity data in the target scenario so that users only see Entity parent nodes, while maintaining visibility of all other 17 dimension members (Account, UD1-UD8, etc.). To achieve this, I tried creating a dummy parent member (Entity X) in a new Entity dimension that mimics the top-level parent from the legal entity hierarchy (Entity Y). My intention was to use this structure in the Pre-Aggregated Members field in the Hybrid Scenario configuration, effectively copying: Entity X = Entity Y Unfortunately, this method worked successfully in Version 7.4, but does not appear to function as expected in Version 8.4. Maybe in version 9.0 +, we can successfully configure pre-aggregated entity mappings for Hybrid Scenarios? Can we customize this to version 8.0 and above? Would appreciate any advice or examples from the community if you’ve made this work in your applications. Thanks in advance! Chris
Issue with Zero Input Not Triggering Calculations in OneStream
Hi all, I’ve encountered an issue in OneStream where inputting a value of 0 does not trigger any calculations, while entering 0.1 or any other non-zero value works as expected. From what I understand, this seems to be related to Zero Suppression, which may be preventing the system from storing or processing the zero value. However, I’d like to confirm if this is standard behavior, or if there’s a recommended best practice for handling zeros in data input and calculations (e.g., in cube views or business rules). Thanks!
Data Import of prices with average result
Hello, In our planning solution I'm looking for a change to plan with less detail. We import transfer prices on material level, but now we want to plan on product level which includes several materials. During transformation the items with the same dimensionality are being combined and show a total value, but for these prices I would need a simple average. Example below: Imported values: After transformation the original UD4 is replace by the product member which is imported on Flow, because some UD4's remain unchanged: I would need to have the simple average (871.48 + 880.82)/2 = 876.15. Is there a simple setting for this, i can't find it, any other suggestion would help also. kind regards BenCompilation Chain issues
Hi all, I wrote a bunch of BRules and a couple of Assemblies (in different workspaces) that work together to perform calculations. So in the end I have a dependency chain like this: BR => Assembly => Assembly Things works like a charm. Sometimes, after I made changes to an Assembly, I get a weird error saying that OneStream cannot find my assembly. While this is true when it cannot compile correctly (due to errors), it doesn't make sense to me when it compiles fine. Even if I compile my assemblies before I run the BRules, sometimes it happens. I'm trying to find out an explanation and I thought that: I run the BRule and OneStream think that Assembly1 - a dependence - is "old", so.... OneStream start compiling Assembly1, and, while compiling it, OneStream think that Assembly2 - a dependence - is "old", so.... OneStream start compiling Assembly2 Maybe these compilations are running async and in parallel... And, maybe, the last compilation takes too much time, taking the first one returning the error. This is just an idea that could explain this issue, but I'm quite sure this is the right way: when I started working on OneStream, my code wasn't affected, IMHO because the assemblies were small enough to be compiled in a reasonable time. But now they are growing up, and the compilation time is growing too. In any case, I'm wondering it there's a way to solve this annoying issue: I often have to (re)launch the same BRule and, on a customer's perspective, seeing a compilation error (even if fake) doesn't make a good impression. Thanks FabioG
Extracting Metadata
Hi, I want to extract metadata in OneStream. While extracting the Accounts metadata, I want to extract both the 'Parent description' and 'Account type'. Through the grid view if you check the 'Display Parent Child Relationships' box, the account type goes away! I want to extract both of them together in a .csv file. This process also needs to be automated to be extracted on a scheduled basis. What would be the best solution to this problem?
