Transformation Error of Composite Mapping Type when using "?"
I need some assistance. The following error is displayed during the Load and Transform WF step (v9.0.1.17608): The use of "?" and "*" is discussed in the Design and Reference guide as per below: Requirement: There is an entity with 5 characters with suffix _ICI30 that needs to map to C4500 if the IC has 5 characters, and another with 9 characters with suffix _ICI30 that needs to map to C3000 if the IC has 5 characters. How do I define the rule expression if E#[?????_ICI30]:I#[?????] and E#[?????????_ICI30]:I#[?????] are incorrect?4Views0likes0CommentsHow to copy a scenario from one application to another?
Hello, I recently recovered a scenario from a restored application copy from a point in time. I now would like to extract that scenario from the application copy and put that in our working application. Does anyone have any idea on how this would be done? Thank you, Jeremy MorganSolved1.9KViews0likes8CommentsXFGETCELL(), 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.40Views0likes1CommentBusiness Rule within the Import Step
Hello, We have a custom business rule that does some account reversing we run centrally at the end our month end process. using a dashboard We're putting in a new lease process within OneStream and was wondering, is there a way instead of giving the front end user more steps within their workflow, that I can attach the business rule to the import step and once they run the "Load and Process" portion of the import step, the business rule will run? Thanks, WillSolved61Views0likes3CommentsCentral Import and Account Reconciliations
I’m starting an Account Reconciliations implementation and the current process loads Actuals for all entities through a central import. They do have individual workflows for each entity where security is assigned at that level and used for planning and reporting. For RCM they want to look at their recs at that level too (WF entity) but data is not flowing through. Did the discovery both at the Central and individual levels and only the Central inventory is being populated. I guess it’s because data is not being loaded to stage into those WFs. Is there a way to work around this or will data need to be loaded at the entity level for it to work?25Views0likes0CommentsExcel form template load error for some users but not all
The Excel form template has the range XFF defined. It worked for some users, but does not work for others. The error they got is: "File does not contain valid range tokens, token XFC" How do we make the range XFF work for everyone? Do they have a different setting on their application or laptop?Solved36Views0likes2CommentsHow do you know if you are using the Roslyn compiler?
Hotfix 8.4.3 addresses, among other things, security vulnerabilities found in the third-party Roslyn Compiler DLL. How do you know if you are using the Roslyn compiler in your implementation of custom code and, therefore, at risk if you are? Is the Roslyn Compiler only used by the WinSCP libraries (and therefore its removal is WinSCP-related)? Or are there instances where Smart Integration Functions would be using the Roslyn compiler outside of the use of WinSCP?SolvedWorkflow 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, James49Views0likes0CommentsError when processing of uploaded Excel file
Hi all, Could you please advise how to find error in Excel file which we try to load in OneStream on Import step of workflow. When I click Process button after uploading of file, I see the below message: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed. Unable to execute Business Rule 'ADU_SolutionHelper'. A malformed URI was found in the document. Please provide a OpenSettings.RelationshipErrorRewriter to handle these errors while opening a package.57Views0likes2Comments"Cannot execute step because the prior workflow step is not completed"
We have Workflow A, and Workflow B. We get an error when the loadCube step in workflow B, when Workflow A is in Validation step. The error we get is "Cannot execute step because the prior workflow step is not completed. . (WP#WorkflowA.Import:S#Actual:T#2022M1)" The name the actual workflow has been changed to protect the innocent. Our question is: what is causing this issue and how do we fix it? It's not clear in the documentation what exactly triggers this error message. The parameters passed back imply that one cannot load to the same scenario and time if another workflow to that scenario and time is still open. WorkflowA and WorkflowB are loading to the same scenario and time, but to different accounts.4.9KViews1like5Comments
