Automatic update of Metadata in OneStream?
Does it make sense to get OneStream Metadata (eg Entity, Cost Center etc) be updated automatically from upstream source system such as SAP? I would have thought it would be far too risky but just want to check if anyone out there had ever come across such requirement and what approach you deploy so that metadata between source ERP and OneStream are in sync? Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

UD or attribute to flag past restatements (Budget pot swaps)
Hello, we are about to start our work on next year budget and we already know that, following a recent restructuration, there will be a lot of pot swaps between departments (e.g. Licence costs used to sit in the department using the software but will now all sit under IT). Some of the them will be just moving a cost center and its history from one department to the next so that will be easy. Our issue is when we do a "pot swap" that moves part of a cost center. In this case we will have a disconnect when we compare actual and forecast unless we restate actual (i.e. also move the cost in actual). My question is on how best to tag/flag the "pot swap" in the actual data so that in reporting we can do like of like comparison (i.e. with past data restated) but also keep the original data. I have 2 potentials solutions: Flag the restatement using an UD: do the restatement of past periods under a specific UD so that we have the ability to see past periods with or without pot swap adjustments Use attributes: I think attributes would work but we have not used attributes in the past so not sure whether it is the best way Does anyone have the same issue and came up with an alternative solution? or has a view on the above options? Many thanks!
Sum PLP Register Column for all employees
In People Planning, is there a way to sum all the values in either the PLP register or calc plan for all employees to get a total to calculate an allocation. My client would like to allocate a Pension Pool by the Employee’s Wage / Total Employee Wages. I am trying to find a way to calculate the Total Wages for all Employees using Allocation Methods as they run by RegisterID/CalcPer. Any ideas.
Replace not working
Hi all, I'm experiencing an issue with the connector in one of the cubes. Although everything is set to "replace," the stage is not being cleared, and old data is being loaded together with the new data. As a result, I have to manually clear the stage to resolve it. The log, is says replace Data keys are 2025M10,2025M11,2025M12,2026M1, but if i check th estage after the import i have periods outiside this range The log indicates 9,261 lines, exacly the same amount of rows that the query produces. But the import shows 248 pages. With 50 rows per page, that would be around 12,400 rows loaded, which is quite different from what the log reports. I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, but I haven’t noticed this happening in other data loads. I still need to replicate the issue in a different app. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance!Archive applications
Hi all, How do other customers go about archiving applications? We've been live since 2017 and every year after filing our SEC reporting, we copy the production application and rename it with the year that's being archived. This is helpful as in the past we've move products in segments as well as various other master data changes affecting reporting. The issue is that now we're nearing our storage capacity as the size of our application has grown over the years as we add in more data and features (35GB for the 2018 archive while our current 2021 production app is at 155 GB) and clearly this problem will continue every year. Any suggestions on a more efficient and cost-effective strategy? Thanks!
