Business Rule | One-to-One Transformation - E# Parent to its first E# Base
We need your help to Import flat files: 1. Number of Rows: > 100k 2. Organized under E# Parent Members: a few thousands 3. E# is extended We've been fortunate to be advised to build a BR to generate a one-to-one Transformation Rule file. - E# Parent to its first E# Base Is it possible for you SMEs to be generous enough to share with us/Community: - a sample BR to look up its first E# Base Member of an E# Parent Member - under extended E# - how to call that BR in an Import Workflow Thank you, OS SMEs.
How to convert a raw Excel file into multiple upload-ready OneStream journals. (3 quick steps)
Use case: You generated several journal lines in Excel. You saved it as a CSV file, and the upload to OneStream failed. Here’s how to clean it up and get it posted. 1) Paste your raw lines into Excel: Paste your raw journal lines into column A as above. Go to Data → Text to Columns → Delimited → Comma → Finish. You should now see the first column as H and the next two as D, D, with each field in its column. 2) Clean the values (common blockers) ConsName must be a valid Consolidation member in your app (e.g., Entity or Local). Leave ParentName blank unless you’re 100% sure of the direct parent. Don’t type literal None unless it’s a real member; leave IC/UD blank or use your member when required. Make sure Scenario → Cube mapping matches your CubeName. If JournalBalanceType=Balanced, totals of Debits = Credits per journal. 2) Save as CSV (UTF-8) Keep only the upload rows on the active sheet (no notes above/beside them). File → Save As → CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited) (.csv). Accept “only the active sheet will be saved.” 3) Import & post in OneStream OnePlace → Journals → Import (or your Workflow step). Choose File Type = CSV, select your file, and Import. Open the journal, Validate/Balance, then Post. Run Consolidation and verify in a Cube View. Hope this helps some people within the OneStream Universe 😊.
Can ERP transactional data be loaded into OS?
Hi, my company's OS data integration with the ERP system has been set-up to load monthly TB's into OS and for transactional tables to sit outside of OS but with the ability for OS to query and drill-back to view transactions. The transactional drill-back function is limited in that a drill-down first needs to be performed to get to the detailed dimensional intersections at the lowest UD level before a drill-back to view transactions (at that precise lowest level set of dimensional intersections) can be run. It is therefore easier to use a stand-alone BI viewer outside of OS to view transactions. Am wondering - is it possible to load ERP transactional tables into OS (this may contain millions of rows spanning multiple years) and for OS to then display transactional level detail across higher-level roll-ups (e.g. viewing transactions across a cost centre parent rather than only at an individual cost centre level), or even display transactional detail in quick views, essentially making OS have similar functionality to a BI viewer?
Import data using multiple workflow profles
Hi everyone, I have an issue in understanding how to implement multiple import steps within a workflow. My client will load data through a classing import step throughout all the months of the year. In addition to that, they asked to set up 3 additional import steps (P13, P14, P15) to be used in December that will serve as "adjustments" to the previous data loaded on the cube. At each import step, however, the data will be loaded in full (with eventual adjustments) and should overwrite the data loaded through previous import steps (and this is the reason why we don't use forms but we use multiple import steps). For example, when P13 is loaded, it should overwrite the data loaded through the Import step, and when P14 is loaded it should overwrite the data loaded through P13, and so on. The problem now is that since we are using a different workflow profile at each step, the system does not automatically overwrite the data loaded through the previous workflow profile, and therefore the data is just added on top of the data that was loaded in previous steps. Does anyone knows whether there is a way to overwrite data from previous loads when a new import step is used? An idea I thought about was to delete the data on the cube through sql while executing the BR Connector rule but I don't know what tables in the db hold the data that I want to overwrite. Thanks in advance for any help, and if something is not clear please ask, I'll be happy to clarify!Is there guidance on the setting for the number of parallel executions for Harvest Batch Loads?
When using the BRAPi.Utilities.ExecuteFileHarvestBatchParallel function in an Extender BR, does anyone have any guidance and/or opinions on the proper setting of the parallelBatchCount parameter? My understanding has always been to set it to a maximum of the number of CPUs - 1 , available for the server performing data management or batch load processing.
