Europe SWIFT File
Hello, I have a SWIFT Bank file from a client based in Europe that I need to import. I thought this would be similar to a BAI file and could use the OS BAI Parser solution to grab the necessary information, but the format isn't as similar as I thought. Is there any other tool for parsing out a SWIFT file or will this require some custom logic?Import .CSV data source with 2 matrix
Hi. I have a .csv file that i am importing as a Matrix. I have 4 columns that each has different UD6 member. Problem is, one of the columns also have a different Account than the other 3. Can I somehow do a double matrix, or pull the data from the one column in another way. I would like to see if I can avoid loading the file multiple times or manipulate it otherwise before load. Appreciate any suggestions :) Details: Column1: U6#TECH1:A#0210 Column2: U6#TECH2:A#0210 Column3: U6#TECH3:A#0210 Column4 :U6#UnallocTech:A#0205
Derivative Rule
Alo I’m trying to create a Source Derivative Rule that takes each inbound Stage row and produces **two** output rows. The first row should remain completely unchanged. The second row should be an exact duplicate of the first, except the **FERC** field must be replaced with the value from **A8**. I’ve confirmed that Rule Expressions cannot duplicate rows, and the `Transformer` object in Source Derivative Rules does not expose methods like `GetInputRow` or `GetSourceRecord`. I’m looking for the correct, supported API pattern for duplicating a Stage row inside a Source Derivative Rule, or confirmation that this must be done in a different rule type (e.g., Target Derivative Rule). Any examples would be greatly appreciated
Multiple source columns to a single target dim based on hierarchical relationships - Mapping
Hello Experts, Here's the scenario: We have a flat file coming from the client's source with multiple source columns. We need "Region", "Cost Center", and "Business Unit" in this case from the file to build the solution. We have developed an unique UD2 dimension in the app which will act as a target dimension for these 3 source columns(Region, CC, & BU). Creating a one to one mapping for all the possible combinations for (Region, CC, & BU) would be tedious. Currently, we are thinking of writing a Complex Expression in the UD2(target) transformational rule, that would first lookup the parent values of all the base members from the 3 columns combination and return the respective value of it's target. Something like the below snippet. Any sample code or alternative solution would be really helpful. Thanks! Dim U1 As String = args.GetTarget("U1#") Dim U3 As String = args.GetTarget("U3#") Dim U4 As String = args.GetTarget("U4#") Dim objDimPk As DimPk = BRApi.Finance.Dim.GetDimPk(si, CostCenter) Dim sValue As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, dimTypeId, memberName) Dim eValue As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, dimTypeId, memberName) Dim bValue As Boolean = BRApi.Finance.Members.IsDescendant(si, objDimPk, sValue, eValue, dimDisplayOptions) If (U1 = "ABC" And IsDescendant(U4, "CostCenter", "XYZ")) Then Return "TARGETUD2" Else Return "" End If
Including Journal Entries from Different Origin Member in Account Reconciliation Discovery
Hi Community, I’m working on an Account Reconciliation solution where I need to ensure posted journal entries balances are also included in the Account Reconciliation discovery process. Currently, by design the Discovery process only pulls trial balance information already imported and validated in the Stage. Therefore, I wanted to check if there’s a recommended, or best practice approach, to accomplish this requirement. Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for your help!
Async processing in a Connector Business Rule
Hi All, I am writing an Connector BR to connect to a system via their API. I first build the rule as a Extender rule so that I can test the logic. So far it works great. It uses Asynchronous processing on all of the web calls. When I try to move that code into a Connector BR, I am having an issue on the GetFieldList part of it. When I try to use it in a data source, I get the following error: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.Object]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]'. I am guessing this is because the Main module in the BR is public async Task<obect> Main so whatever is returned is going to be a Task<object>. Has anyone done Asynchronous processing in the connector rule and had the GetFieldList part working. My only thought to get around this is the write the data to a table/file with the Extender BR then the Connector reads that. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Scott
Complex expression to remove currency symbols?
Hi all, we have a process to format data in the csv before it's imported into OneStream. This seems like extra work and I want to create a complex expression in the Data Source to remove this step. My excel formula is =VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(H9,"¥",""),",","")).... all the way down for column H or the Amt field import. I've tried putting this in the complex expression but I do not have the dimensions defined properly.... does anyone have an example or suggestions they can point me towards? thank you!!!
XFGETCELL(), XFSETCELL() PERFORMANCE
Hi all, Every forecast cycle we get the same performance complaints from the same region group of users. They are always uploading massive amounts of data and refreshing massive amounts of data in the same workbooks using the XF functionality in Excel. To be clear, we have tried multiple times to convince them that they should be importing that data via CSV and advising that they will not get the same performance using the XF functions. We have also tried having OneStream re-index the databases before these cycles and we have regular daily app pool recycles. The OneStream data logs really don't show any significant refresh issues (less than 5 minutes usually) but the one user doing all this work is insisting that it's taking hours and hours to finish refreshing and they often have to close and reopen Excel and re-launch OneStream. We have raised multiple tickets and OneStream does not see any back end issues. We have looked at their Excel preferences and tried different options there but no improvement. I am 100% out of ideas so if anyone out there has any thoughts, would love to hear what you've done to resolve these issues. I'm going to post this as well somewhere in the community where Excel discussions happen. Thanks for any advice.Cubeview Drill Down issue: Load Results for Importe Cells is empty
Hello there, We are having an issue when using the Drill Down option from a Cubeview, and it's that after getting to a base data cell within the Drill Down window, and then trying to navigate to stage using the "Load Results for Imported Cell", the results window is displayed empty: The workflow that is being used it's a simple Import, Validate and Load, that retrieves the imported data from a Connector and there is no further data processing once it's in the Cube. From the Workflow Page we can use Drill Down and Drill Back just fine. Any ideas of why is this happening? Thank you. Oriol
