Workflow Import - Clearing cube data in v9
Hello, we recently upgraded to v9 and noticed that we can no longer clear WF imported cube data using the "Clear" option through the workflow import (snip below). Prior to the upgrade, we could clear the stage data, then run import/validate/load to clear the data that was imported to the cube. Now, this option only clears the data from stage and in order to clear the data loaded to the cube, we have to use a data management step. In our case, this is now difficult because the data loaded may be specific to workflow channels and also use multiple dimension criteria and not just Entity (used by DM step). Is anyone else having this issue? Are there any other methods to removing the imported data via csv file from the cube other than a DM step? If we try to run the old process in v9. Clear, then Retransform, Load to clear cube data. This error appears.
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
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?
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!
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.
Central 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?
