'si' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
I am receiving this error when writing a business rule, any idea on how I can remove this error? Here is the portion of the business rule where I am using 'si': Dim objXFResult As XFResult = BRApi.Finance.Data.SetDataCellsUsingUsingCsvFile(si, filePath, delimiter, originFilter, targetOriginMember, loadZeros)
Extract of all artifacts-names only
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to get an extracted list of all artifacts within an environment by artifact types such as business rules, transformation rules, cube view names. I am only interested in getting the names/metadata of each artifact and not the actual data from the artifact. I would like to put these in an excel workbook. Thanks! Manuel
Write to Elimination Member (Origin)
Hi All - I have a quick question When I am using the Data Buffer, I am able to write to the Elimination Member. The Same for the Set DataCell as well. When I try to use the same in the Member Script Value it is not writing to the Elimination Origin except forms. Any Idea why ? Below is an example ' strMemberScript = "Cb#Cube:E#100:C#Local:S#Actual:T#2022M12:V#YTD:A#123456:F#None:O#Forms:I#101:U1#None:U2#None:U3#None:U4#None:U5#None:U6#None:U7#None:U8#None" ' objMemberScriptValue.Amount = 100 ' objMemberScriptValue.IsNoData = False ' objMemberScriptValue.Script = strMemberScript ' objMemberScriptValues.Add(objMemberScriptValue) objXFResult = BRApi.Finance.Data.SetDataCellsUsingMemberScript(si, objMemberScriptValues)Recurring journal with Auto Post
So im trying to create a rule that pulls selected journals forward than posts them automaticaly. I have my test journal pulling forward as expected but when im trying to post the journal in rule below its causing the rule to error. The line in question is, BRApi.Journals.Process.ExecutePost(si, journalObjectHeader.UniqueID) What am i missing it seems pretty straight forward?

Passing parameters from a user defined workspace to a DM process and Business Rule
When creating a dashboard in the default workspace you are able to pass dashboard parameter values to the data management sequence through the parameter section of the execution script: You can also use an Input Value parameter and create an extender process to populate the Input Value and then retrieve that value for a DM sequence or BR. However, when using user defined workspaces, I have only been able to successfully pass parameter values from a dashboard using a literal value (process on combo box executes a rule to populate a literal value with the most recent user selection, literal value is read by DM and BR processes). The issue with this literal value process is that the value is left at the value from the last execution of combo box selection so it requires the user to change the value to some other value, then reset the value to ensure the literal value has a valid stored value. Additionally, this process if being used by multiple users, may cause confusion if two users are changing combo boxes thus resetting literal values without knowing that the other users is changing the value. Is there no other way to reference user defined workspace parameter values like in the argument selections in the Server Task settings? I have seen some instances where the workspace ID can be referenced, however I don't see an examples of using some type of similar format for parameters (e.g. WorkspaceID.|!SomeParameter!|).
executing and reporting on the status of Process Cube via a business rule
For starters, we're on 8.2.1. In reviewing some automation rules that were written by my predecessors, I've been trying to move away from the Harvest folder batch processing. ...mostly, because I don't want to deal with cleaning up the clutter it leaves in the filesystem. In most cases, it's trivial to switch to BRApi.Import.Process functions and I've done this successfully but I find that running the Process Cube from a BR acts a bit weird. BRApi.DataQuality.Process.StartProcessCube and BRApi.DataQuality.Process.ExecuteProcessCube both start the process just fine and the process does exactly what it should. However, both methods only start the process and immediately move on to the next instruction. I can't seem to evaluate them for failure, duration, or anything else as they both instantly and always return that they finished successfully. Question 1: Both functions seems to behave identically and incorrectly (or at least unintuitively and undesirably for me in this case.) Other than the datatype of the object they return, is there actually a difference? Does it make sense to use one over the other or is it just a matter of which one has properties that are most useful in the context of the given rule? Edit. Question 1a: Is there a third way to execute the process that I'm missing? Maybe I shouldn't be using either of these! I tried using a sleep/timer with a loop to repeatedly evaluate process.IsRunning but it seems to evaluate to False instantly. process.Status instantly evaluates to "Completed." Duration and Endtime likewise are static, set almost-instantaneously, and appear to be of no use whatsoever. Question 2: What is the correct way to monitor a process like this? Specifically, I'd like to notify on failure and maybe evaluate the duration in case I want to alert someone that the processing times have gone from 30 seconds to an hour (or something, I'll figure out a way to handle that threshold.) I imagine there must be some way of polling the status. I could conceive of doing this "manually" by querying the TaskActivity table but it seems there must be a better way. I tried using BRApi.TaskActivity.GetTaskActivityItem(si, process.UniqueID) inside of a loop to see if querying it multiple times would help and it still behaves the same way. I know there are new event handlers but those are separate rules and I don't really think they apply in this case as I only want to report on this particular process in the specific context of my lights-out automation.performance issue.
Hello OneStream Community, I am working with a Cube View where I need to display the Income Statement data for the end of every year (December). The data should show up as the beginning balance for the January month in the subsequent year. To achieve this, I used a Row Override1 member filter with the formula T#povprioryearm12. The Cube View includes four dimensions: Entity, Division, Cost Center, and Accounts. However, I am experiencing slow loading times when the view is being accessed. it is not exporting to Excel to validate. I would like to know if there are any best practices or strategies for improving the performance of the Cube View in this scenario. Are there specific optimizations I should consider for the member filter, the dimensions, or the Cube View configuration to reduce loading times? Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
