Solution to Update Task Scheduler Start Times to Account for Daylight Savings
Hi, This time of year we have the common maintenance point regarding needing to update task scheduler start times to account for daylight savings. It is expected for the platform to not automatically update the task start times to account for daylight savings, thus, this becomes a maintenance point for those companies in states/countries that utilize daylight savings. Until this feature perhaps one day becomes available in the platform, we have a custom solution that will make the maintenance point of this easier for OS administrators. You can upload the two files attached in the zip file which will result in uploading an Extender business rule titled "Update_TaskScheduler_StartTimes" and a Data Management job called "Update Task Start Time Daylight Savings". To use the solution, navigate to the Data Mgmt page and look for the group titled "Task Scheduler Maintenance". Here you will find the Data Mgmt sequence and step you uploaded. Navigate to the DM step and utilize the Hour Adjustment parameter to push the task start times backwards (-1) or forward (1) one hour. Once you are happy with the Data Mgmt step setting, go ahead and run the Update Task Start Time Daylight Savings sequence. The sequence will update the task start time for all tasks in the application. We recommend testing this in a Development application first. Please perform this at your own risk in a Production application.AUDIT log not appearing for BRAPI access provision
Hi all, I am using the Business Rule to perform the user access provisioning using BRApi for security management. And used this BR in DAM job, added the DM to a task scheduler job to run it. All are working fine, but in the DASHBOARD -->NAVIGATION CENTER--> SECURITY AUDIT REPORTS --> USER CHANGE AUDIT. I cannot see the change line appearing in this report, executed by task scheduled for the DM (run by Business Rule.). Is there a way to enable the time in this report. apart from this i see the audit data and time in TOTAL USERS, USER LIST reports. -------------------------------------------------------- another important point i noted was ,those new user whoever i provisioned through the BR are uanable to authenticate. but when i make a small change like space or some modification in the user parameter save it. then undo the change and save it. they are able to authenticate the applciation.Pull in Variables from another BR
I'm trying to call a helper BR that I wrote to pull in two variables to denote our environment, but I'm getting an error message saying the extender business rule.MainClass is undefined. Background: Our GL has three environments, Dev, Prj (test) and PRD. As we promoted projects up in OneStream, I have to edit the BRs to reference the different environments. It's a pain when it comes to the SQL because the environment is part of the tableName.fieldName. Goal: to have one helper BR that has the environment variables in it and all other BRs reference this rule so I no longer need to edit them from environment to environment. The helper rule in DEV would reference the DEV tables, the helper in PRD would reference the production tables, etc. 'test code to pull in environment variables from a Helper 03-05-2026 'Define reference to business rule Dim JDE_EnvironmentHelper As New OneStream.BusinessRule.Extender.JDE_EnvironmentHelper.MainClass '<-- Update ReferencedBRName with your Business Rule 'Call function within referenced business rule If Not JDE_EnvironmentHelper Is Nothing Then Dim returnVariable As String = JDE_EnvironmentHelper.GetConnectionString(si, gateWay, envTbl) '<-- Update ReferencedBRFunctionName, param1..paramX, returnVariable type End If ' End test code 03-05-2026 The above code* is from the Connector rule that is to receive the variables, gateWay and envTbl. The error I get when I validate it is: Error at line 37: Type 'OneStream.BusinessRule.Extender.JDE_EnvironmentHelper.MainClass' is not defined. This code is directly copied from the OneStream snippets (modified for my BR name, of course) What am I doing wrong? Am I even on the right track? *line 3 above is line 37 in my BR
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,
Pass-thru Formatting on Cube Views
Good afternoon, I'm trying to pass through formatting from one cube view to another. The 2nd cube view is a dialog pop-up in a dashboard triggered by a selection changed event. So far I've been able to determine destination formatting based on Cell POV dimension members of the cell "clicked" but I'm hitting a snag on dynamically calculated cells (column is Actual versus Budget % for example). The Cell POV dimension members are the same with the only difference being a "GetDataCell" at the end. I haven't figured out a way to retrieve what, if anything, is in the "calculation script" for a cell intersection. Or if there's a way to retrieve the row and column names for a cell intersection at the time of a click? Looking for any guidance possible. Thanks, Brandon
Executing QuickViews using BRs
Hi everyone, Does anyone know if there's a specific method to be able to run Quickviews using a Business Rule? Trying to understand if OS is capable of doing something like that. Presumably, what I would like is to execute a dashboard that would allow me to see one, just seeking for some ideas on this topic. Thank you!
Business Rule: Copy data from one cube to another with different cube dimensions
Hello, I have following two cubes in onestream: Volumes Detail All the cube dimensions are the same except for UD1. For volumes, UD1 cube dimension is VintageDim and for detail its FunctionTotal. I am trying to copy data from "Volumes" cube to "Detail" Cube through a Business Rule. I am running this business rule from Data Management Step. The rule runs perfectly but it doesn't copy the data. I don't get any error too. Please can someone help to understand the issue? Public Sub CopyData() Try 'Define the source and target information Dim sourceCube As String = "Volumes" Dim targetCube As String = "Detail" Dim sourceScenario As String = api.Pov.Scenario.Name '1. Pull data from the source cube (Volumes) 'Using a formula to capture the desired data unit Dim sourceDb As DataBuffer = api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula($"Cb#{sourceCube}:S#{sourceScenario}:A#Product_Sales") '2.
