Workflow channels with scenario copies
Hi All, In our multi year planning process, most entities need to upload four sets of fixed costs (all loaded by the same team, but sent to that entity's finance team by different functional teams), in addition to all the driver-based costs we're calculating (mostly based on form inputs). For the four sets of fixed costs, we have four import profiles under the same parent workflow. The entities import their files and then run a DM sequence from a dashboard to run the validate/load for a range of years they can select. When they run this sequence, all import profiles (under the same parent) that have been imported are validated and loaded. We had not set up workflow channels on the different loads, and everything was working as expected. The different import profiles will use some of the same accounts, but different sets of cost centers. We did not see any collision of data when the same accounts were loaded, and if a balance that had previously been loaded in one import was removed from the import template and reimported, the data in that account would be cleared from the cube (even if that account was only used by one of the four imports) after the next validate/load. Now that we have started to copy cube data from one completed scenario (CY) to another blank scenario (CY_v2), so that some changes can be made to CY_v2, we were running into issues with our fixed cost loads in CY_v2 (balances not clearing, other values being overwritten). This makes sense, and we had not considered loading the fixed costs to copied scenarios. We would like to be able to only load one of the four imports (if say the G&A load is the only one with changes) in the CY_v2 scenario. We were hoping that workflow channels on the imports would solve the issue in the copied-to scenarios, but after completing that set up (changing accounts to nodatalock, setting up different data source members for each of the four imports, creating the channels, and applying the channels to the data source members), we are still seeing balances "stuck" in CY_v2 when previously loaded balances to a unique account are removed from the latest upload for one of the imports. We had also gone back and reloaded the "source" scenario with the channels applied, before copying the data and trying to load only a single template to CY_v2. Is there a way to use workflow channels so that all data loaded through that channel is cleared and replaced when a new import is loaded to a data source member where the channel is applied, or will accounts no longer in the latest import be left un-cleared? The documentation on the level 2 and level 3 data units seems to indicate that those accounts will not be cleared, but that does not match the behavior we see in the original loads of multiple sibling import profiles (described and bolded in my second paragraph). It also doesn't seem to match how a typical, iterative planning process would work. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, James
Errors creating New Task in Data Import Schedule Manager
I am getting several errors when setting up a New Task in the Data Import Schedule Manager. We are on OS version 9.01.17403, and I have installed the latest version of DSM, which is 8.4.0_SV100. I suspect this may be a version compatibility issue, so I am curious if anyone has been able to get this solution to work in a 9.01 application. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the solution, which didn’t resolve the issues. Below are the two errors I am seeing: When choosing Global Scenario from the Scenario(s) drop down list, I get an immediate error “Error processing member. The item was not found. Member, 11111111.” The details state: Unable to execute Business Rule ‘DSM_Paramhelper’ where it appears to be trying to call the Global Scenario by OneStream.Client.Api.DashboardsAjaxServiceReference.DashboardsAjaxServiceClient.GetParameterDisplayInfosUsingDashboardNameCompressed(SessionInfo si, LoadDashboardInfo loadDashboardInfo, Boolean isForDashboardUIWithInteractiveComponents, Dictionary`2 custSubstVarsAlreadyResolved). If I pick a specific Scenario, I am getting a different error. It allows me to pick the Scenario and Time, but when save the Task, I get “The input string ‘’ was not in a correct format.”. The error details show it is an issue with the same Business Rule ‘DSM_SolutionHelper’ where Conversion from string “” to type ‘Double’ is not valid. The input string ‘’ was not in a correct format. OneStream.Client.Api.DashboardsAjaxServiceReference.DashboardsAjaxServiceClient.StartExecuteSelectionChangedServerTaskCompressed(SessionInfo si, Boolean isSystemLevel, Guid primaryDashboardID, Guid embeddedDashboardID, Guid componentID, PageInstanceInfo pageInstanceInfo, XFSelectionChangedServerTaskInfo serverTaskInfo) Any advice on how to correct these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Identifying API Parameters for OneStream Audit Log Export via Postman
Hello all, I joined a company where they have implemented OneStream solution. I have access to the platform, and still exploring the way it was implemented. I am currently working on integrating OneStream with an external platform and need to export audit logs using the product's API. While setting up the request in Postman, i've encountered difficulty identifying the correct values for the following parameters: ApplicationName AdapterName Despite reviewing the available documentation, these tags remain unclear. Has anyone successfully queried audit logs via the OneStream API and can share insights on where these parameters are defined or how to retrieve them? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!Help Connecting DBeaver to OneStream Internal Database
Hi everyone, I’m trying to connect to the OneStream internal database so I can access the application data using DBeaver as my database manager. Has anyone successfully done this before? If so, could you share the steps or any tips to get it working? Thanks in advance for your help!Setting up Cube Data Manager Solution: Add New Environment
Hello, I am trying to set up the Cube Data Manager solution from Open Place in my working production application. Currently it is all loaded up, but I need a little help figuring out how to add the environment to it containing the applications that I want to work with. Please see pictured below. Thank you, Jeremy Morgan
Dynamic Time Filter in Data Management Export Step
I'm building a Data Management step to export data, and I need to set the time filter dynamically. For example, if the scenario is Budget_Final_FY26, the export should include 5 years of data: the current year, plus current year +1 through current year +4. The challenge is that I don’t see a way to directly use “current year” in the time filter. My idea is to substitute the time filter with an XFBR string that pulls the current year and applies it dynamically. Has anyone implemented something similar, or is there a recommended approach for handling this?
Referencing business rule in data management step
I'm struggling with something elementary here. I can't seem to properly reference a business rule in my data managment step. I've tried a couple of options - explicit workspace name and 'Current' which should both work, but I consistently get the error: Error processing Data Management Step 'MyDMStep'. Business Rule 'Workspace.MyWorkspace.MyAssy.MyBR' is invalid. or Error processing Data Management Step 'MyDMStep'. Business Rule 'Workspace.Current.MyAssy.MyBR' is invalid. Using that name as a reference, this is how my App Workspace Heirarchy looks: Anyt input would be greatly appreciated!
