How to stop a BR from updating a Certified Entity
We have a Fcst BR that copies from a support scenario into our main Fcst Scenario. Our issue is that it will still overwrite data in the main scenario even when that scenario's Entity is certified. How do I prevent BR's form updating data that is certified. We had closed/certified our Fcst and then someone not aware was in a form that allowed them to update this supporting details scenario and saved which then updated the Fcst scenario. Is this something that can be managed on the Scenario setup - ie not allowing changes when certified or is this a type of loophole with BR's I have something similar I do for data loads where I check the status of the WF before running an automated Import/Validate/.../load process. in this case I am trying to prevent a ton of error messages when it gets to the load steps and finds the entity is certified. Would there be logic that could check the status of an Entity vs. WF that I might be able to insert into my BR.
Is there an example of using System.Reflection namespace with OneStream APIs
I'm driving myself a little crazy at the moment. Sometime in the last few days, I stumbled across a Community Post (I think) about how to use System.Reflection to programmatically list OneStream API object methods, overloads, parameters, etc. At the time I saw it, I thought "Oh, that's cool!" and remembered that if I needed to find it again, I just needed to search for "Reflection" in community posts. Well, for the life of me, I can't find the post again. Does anyone know of a post that describes how to use System.Reflection's methods, like GetMethods on OneStream API objects? I know I'm being lazy and could work out the code myself, but what I read had already worked out the BindingFlags and other parameters on the calls that were specific to OneStream.Exporting Account Type
I'm currently trying to export the account dimension members and their properties through a csv file. I can get all the properties necessary, but I can't get the "Account Type" property through the extender rule. I'm currently using Account_Type= Brapi.Finance.Members.GetMemberInfo(si,dimTypeId,stkItem.Name,True,Nothing,MemberDisplay).Member.GetType.FullName , to get the account type in columns but it isn't returning the correct account type of the member and instead returning " OneStream.Shared.Common.Member " in the columns.
Returning a success or failure message from DM via REST API
Hi all, I'm triggering a DM job using the REST API. The job is running a business rule. I handle errors in the BR but I need to actually return the success or failure as a response to the postman request. Right now, I get a success message no matter what happens in the BR. Thanks in advance!Supplied parameter tied to Bound List not returning value
Hi community, I have an issue where i have a member list tied to a bound list. The bound list uses a SQL query to get the top member of a given dimension. I have this bound list tied to a supplied parameter that I have attached to a dashboard. The issue is that when I run the dashboard, it is not triggering the bound list, even though i am using the supplied parameter. If I remove the supplied parameter and run the dashboard, it prompts me with the bound list parameter showing the value i want to return, and thereafter, when i put the supplied parameter back it works. It seems like the system needs to trigger the bound list first, but I haven't found a way to do so yet. Any thoughts?
What does api.Data.GetRelationshipChanges(dimensionName, startDate, endDate) return?
Hello, I already have a data file for cost centers and their Default values, but now I need to include the before and after changed values to the cost center member. I found this code: Function GetRelationshipChangesForTimeSpan(ByVal api As Api, ByVal dimensionName As String, ByVal startDate As DateTime, ByVal endDate As DateTime) As List(Of RelationshipChange) ' Initialize a list to store relationship changes Dim relationshipChanges As New List(Of RelationshipChange) ' Use the API to retrieve relationship changes relationshipChanges = api.Data.GetRelationshipChanges(dimensionName, startDate, endDate) ' Return the list of changes Return relationshipChanges End Function How can I tell what data it's actually returning, what columns? Is there a better way to do this? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Determine Workflow Profile Security Access in a Dashboard Extender Rule
I'm using the following code snippet in a Dashboard Extender Rule to loop through the list a of Workflow Profiles. However, the code fails, if the user does not have security access to a particular Workflow Profile, returned in the list. Is there a way I can get the list returned with security access applied, so the list only returns Workflow Profiles that the user has access to? Dim profile As String = "text1 tag to match" Dim wfProfileName As String = "" Dim cubeRootInfo As WorkflowCubeRootInfo = BRApi.Workflow.Metadata.GetCubeRootInfo(si, si.WorkflowClusterPk.ProfileKey, True) cubeRootCluster As New WorkflowUnitClusterPk(si.WorkflowClusterPk) cubeRootCluster.ProfileKey = cubeRootInfo.CubeRootProfile.ProfileKey Dim profileInfos As List(Of WorkflowProfileInfo) = BRApi.Workflow.Metadata.GetRelatives(si, cubeRootCluster, WorkflowProfileRelativeTypes.Descendants, WorkflowProfileTypes.BaseAndParentInputProfiles) For Each profileInfo As WorkflowProfileInfo In profileInfos Dim wfScenarioTypeID As Integer = BRApi.Workflow.General.GetScenarioTypeId(si, cubeRootCluster) If profile = profileInfo.GetAttributeValue(WfScenarioTypeID,sharedconstants.WorkflowProfileAttributeIndexes.Text1) wfProfileName = profileInfo.ToString ' brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si," profileInfo.Name = " & profileInfo.ToString & " : Text1 = " & profileInfo.GetAttributeValue(WfScenarioTypeID,sharedconstants.WorkflowProfileAttributeIndexes.Text1)) End If Next
