Run a DM as a different user
Hi there, We have one Business Rule that reorganize some security groups adding/removing Parent Groups based on a certain hierarchy, however, we are facing the issue that when the user executing this Business Rule belongs to a group that is being reorganized, we get the following error message: "Security Access Error. You cannot add/remove yourself or a group that you belong to or an Administrators group to/from the current group." That error is perfectly reasonable, but we need to find a way to bypass that. In other softwares exists the possibility to execute a Job as a different user (usually non-interactive) which has the required security configuration to ensure the process is executed successfully. How can we achive that same result in OneStream? Thank you! Bests,
What IMPORT should i use for the SECURITY updates for BRApi
Hi All, i am new to OneStream, i tried creating BR for Security automation. below is my entire code in OS-BR. Imports System Imports System.Collections.Generic Imports System.Data Imports System.Data.Common Imports System.Globalization Imports System.IO Imports System.Linq Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Imports OneStream.Finance.Database Imports OneStream.Finance.Engine Imports OneStream.Shared.Common Imports OneStream.Shared.Database Imports OneStream.Shared.Engine Imports OneStream.Shared.Wcf Imports OneStream.Stage.Database Imports OneStream.Stage.Engine Namespace OneStream.BusinessRule.Finance.BR_UserManagement Public Class SecurityGroupHelper Public Sub ShowQAGroups(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal api As FinanceRulesApi) Try ' Get all security groups using the API passed to the function Dim allGroups As GroupInfo = BRApi.Security.Admin.GetGroup(si, "QA_Admin") ' Loop through all groups and display a MessageBox for each that starts with "QA_" For Each grp As MemberInfo In allGroups If grp.Member.Name.StartsWith("QA_") Then MessageBox.Show(grp.Member.Name, "QA Group Found") End If Next Catch ex As Exception Throw ErrorHandler.LogWrite(si, New XFException(si, ex)) End Try End Sub End Class End Namespace --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am getting error as below. i am not sure what mistake in the code. one i am sure about messagebox.show. Error compiling Business Rule 'BR_UserManagement'. 1) Error at line 27: Expression is of type 'GroupInfo', which is not a collection type. 2) Error at line 29: 'MessageBox' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
account is not translating
Good afternoon, I need help with translating a balance account. We set it up to calculate job to date and load its local currency value, then I wanted to translate it using a job to date rate (also setup as the balance account). The formula attached to the account is for every foreign base entity executes this: api.Data.Calculate("A#JTD_COST:V#YTD:F#EndBalLoad:U8#None:C#USD = RemoveZeros(A#JTD_COST:V#YTD:F#EndBalLoad:U8#None:C#Local * A#JTD_FX_RATE:V#YTD:F#EndBalLoad:U8#None:C#Local)",,,,,"U1#Active.base") The problem is that when I set the original account with Formula Pass then I get an error during the consolidation suggesting the invalid destination data unit in script. When I don't attach any Formula Pass then nothing happens at all. Any suggestions what I miss or how else balance accounts can be translated? Thank you, OlaAbout Admin
