Extract Related components for Dashboard
Hi OneStream experts, Lets say a dashboard has 10 components in DEV and in PROD. Added 11th component in DEV and want to move it to PROD by Extract and Load. Is there any easy way to collect all related components of a dashboard? Manually collecting components is painful. What is the best secured way to collecting objects to move it to PROD? Thanks //Suresh
Can constraints Slow Things Down in OneStream?
Constraints in OneStream are filters applied to metadata dimensions such as Flow, Accounts, UD1, or specific cash flow lines to narrow the scope of calculations, data retrieval, or Cube View rendering. They’re powerful tools, but when applied too broadly or dynamically, can they degrade performance? Larger evaluation footprint A Flow or Account constraint forces OneStream to check every intersection in that dimension. In dense cubes, this can mean millions of evaluations. 1. Dynamic filters are expensive. Static lists (e.g., A#1000, A#2000, Flow#Operating) resolve quickly. Dynamic logic FilterDim, Boolean conditions, or formula driven sets require runtime computation. Why? 2. Stacked or nested constraints multiply the cost. Does layering constraints across Flows, Accounts, and UDs in OneStream force the system to resolve each filter before executing calculations? 3. Reduced parallelism. When constraints slice across cash flow lines or UD dimensions, the engine can’t fully parallelize tasks. Does more constraint mean fewer threads working freely? Do you agree? Why? CheersBackward compatibility in client software
Hi Onestream experts, We need to install client software 9.1.0 for accessing Environment 1, which is running on version 9.1 We could not use the client software 9.1.0 for accessing Environment 2, which is running on version 8.4 Why is the client not backward compatible? This is a very normal situation for any customer, to have different environment in different version. How to solve this? Thanks Suresh
Member PropertyID Data Dictionary
Hello OneStream Community, A few days ago a colleague of mine wanted to know the meaning of the various PropertyId constants present in one of the Application Database Audit Tables. I was unable to find any OneStream specific documentation on this PropertyId code and its meaning, so I created a business rule to complete the puzzle and get what we needed for the metadata audit at a very granular level. For any one else experiencing an issue similar like this here is a table of the Member property Id's and their meaning.

Archive applications
Hi all, How do other customers go about archiving applications? We've been live since 2017 and every year after filing our SEC reporting, we copy the production application and rename it with the year that's being archived. This is helpful as in the past we've move products in segments as well as various other master data changes affecting reporting. The issue is that now we're nearing our storage capacity as the size of our application has grown over the years as we add in more data and features (35GB for the 2018 archive while our current 2021 production app is at 155 GB) and clearly this problem will continue every year. Any suggestions on a more efficient and cost-effective strategy? Thanks!
Pivot Grid Modern Browser Experience allow additional default fields
Our team would like an enhancement to the Web version of the client (Version 9.0.0) as the Modern Browser Experience does not allow us to use the default pivot grid views we created. The default pivot grid views we created work great in the Desktop version, but they do not work for our Browser version because we exceed the number of allowed default fields. This enhancement would allow our users to save time with the ability to use default views, instead of needing to add in the fields manually each time.
Environment Management
Hi All, In your OneStream implementation, how many environments do you have? Dev, UAT and Prod? Or do you also have Pre-Prod environment that is common in ERP systems? Also, in the UAT environment do you also have copy of data so that when testing happens or developers need to test the changes - there is enough sample data to test? Would you consider brininging data from Prod, randomize it and load into UAT env so that UAT env data at all intersections as Prod? Thanks!Database space control policies
Hi! We are trying to control the size increase in our production application. We know the growth comes from: Stage tables that allow users to drill down and back onto source data. Data records Audit tables (they can grow a lots if they are recording continuous changes to rules, data for example) Logs which will impact Framework database growth (task activity and error logs, will vary depending on the detail login set in BR, DM and on the system configuration as well as your retention policy) Load transactional data, which will increate your data units and data records unnececarily, which BIBlend should be used for this type of data load instead of loading it to the finance cube. We have analyzed it and we realized the StageAttributeTable and other stage tables has a significant size. Has ayone performed databse maintenance by deleting data from the stage tables? Is it possible to do that while keeping the cube data intact and workflows completed? Any ideas or best practices regarding database maintenance would be very welcome. Regards, Xavi
