Important Usage Considerations

This topic identifies some considerations for best implementing and using Scenario Analysis 123.

Access

Scenario Analysis 123 is not intended for use in Workflows and must only be accessed using the Community Solution dashboard. Limit usage of Scenario Analysis 123 to the following:

  • Experienced OneStream “Power Users”

  • Administrator security role

  • Security group with a limited number of experienced “Power Users”

Performance Impacts

Scenario Analysis 123 is not intended for full Entity or multi-Entity hierarchy consolidations spanning multiple periods or years for multiple users. Calculation jobs created using Force Consolidate are intended for base level calculations and small consolidation hierarchies.

The single environment shares resources between the two applications. Testing Scenario Analysis 123 in a single environment that includes Development and Production applications will impact both applications. Coordinate an optimal testing window within your organization to prevent negative impact on other reporting processes performed in the Production application.

When copying base data from one scenario to another, it is important to understand how much data is being copied and whether you need to consolidate the whole Entity structure or multiple Entity structures. Multiple large consolidations in the system may impact each other depending on the environment configuration.

Refer to the consolidation schedules of your organization before using Scenario Analysis 123.
