Is there guidance on the setting for the number of parallel executions for Harvest Batch Loads?
When using the BRAPi.Utilities.ExecuteFileHarvestBatchParallel function in an Extender BR, does anyone have any guidance and/or opinions on the proper setting of the parallelBatchCount parameter? My understanding has always been to set it to a maximum of the number of CPUs - 1 , available for the server performing data management or batch load processing.
Running Validate and Load Steps for Multiple Years
Hi everyone, We are uploading portions of our budgets in Excel templates across multiple years. The data is imported across all the years in one shot, but the validate and load steps need to be run year by year if imported through the workflows we have set up. Does anyone know if there is a way to execute the validate and load steps across multiple years through a rule? I know we can use the batch harvest folders, but we're hoping to keep the workflow steps as close to those used in other processes as possible. Thanks, James

Assistance Needed: Updating "Profile Active" Property via Extender Rule
Dear Team, I am currently working on updating the "Profile Active" property for a specific scenario type within a workflow profile. I am trying to implement this change using the below code snippet, but am not seeing the desired result: code snippet: brapi.Workflow.Metadata.GetProfile(si, "Parent Profile.Profile Name").SetAttributeValue(ScenarioType.Control.Id, 1300, Boolean.TrueString) Though I am aware that this update can be performed manually by accessing individual workflow profiles or using the grid view, my requirement is to execute this task through an extender rule. I've identified that the attribute index for "Profile Active" is 1300 and the value to be updated is of an object type. I suspect there may be an issue with the way I'm passing the new value in the code. I would appreciate any guidance or insight on how to correctly update this property using the extender rule. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Use 2 fields to determine dimension value in datasource
Hi all, I need to set up a complex expression to assign a specific value to the U6 dimension based on 2 source fields. Below part of the list of those source fields. The code I set up for the complex expression is the following: Dim fields As List(Of String) = api.Parser.DelimitedParsedValues() Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Field count (List.Count): " & fields.Count) If fields.Count > 4 Then Dim loadedAccount As String = fields(4) Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "loadedAccount: '" & loadedAccount & "'") If Left(loadedAccount, 2) = "00" Then Return Right(loadedAccount, 8) End If Else Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "WARNING: only " & fields.Count & " fields; skipping Account logic") End If Every time I launch the loading process, however, it prints the WARNING message for all the rows, as if it didn't find any source field. Am I doing something wrong / is there an alternative way to retrieve the fields values that I am not considering? Thank you for the help!Journal creation through Excel Addin
Hi everyone, I need to create a few journal templates so that they can be filled up in Excel and subsequently loaded into Onestream. I found online screenshots of some journal templates in Excel like the following one: but it's not clear to me how can I create it. Is there a way to export in Excel the already precompiled structure of a journal from Onestream? or do I need to create it manually in Excel? Any suggestion would help!OneStream and D365 Integration
Hi everyone, I'm currently working on integrating OneStream with Dynamics 365 (D365) and would love to hear about your experiences. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing which connector you used for the integration. Did you opt for OData, Synapse Link, or another method? Any insights, tips, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Matrix Data Load Basics
I have a matrix data load question. I get the concept of how the matrix data load works. I haven't done too many of them, so I want to make sure I'm not missing the basics. The file I have has the year on one of the first lines in column 9. The next row contains the headers with periods in 12 separate columns. Is there an easy way to get the year from the first line (without a lot of code)? Or should I get year based on the POV? Then I am guessing a complex expression in the time columns to build the OS time key? I know I can do all of this in code, but I don't want to skip over any out of the box functionality or best practices. Any good guides on some of the best approaches with the Matrix load? Thanks, Scott
