BDA Compensation And Travel Planning Release Notes 2025.03.06.01

NOTICE

If your implementation of Compensation makes extensive use of Custom Fields 1/2 and Reporting overrides and you are running into issues with your environment--please contact the BDA Product Team for guidance on optimization and resolution.

BDA Compensation and Travel Planning Anchor dimension (1)

Starting from 2025.03.06.01 release onwards, you need to choose an anchor dimesion (Data Type) to send Capital data to Reporting cubes. This is done to reduce the performance impact on clearing data from reporting cubes. Set Param_BDACTP_Config_DataSourceScript to a tuple as shown. e.g. U5#CTP_Input.

1. Perform this before running a full calc on Compensation solution.

BDA Core Technology Compatibility

This version needs at-least Core Technology 2025 03 06 01

OneStream Version Compatibility

This version is confirmed to work with OneStream version 6.3.x to 8.5.x

BDA Compensation and Travel Planning and Extensible dimensions (1)

If you are installing BDA Compensation and Travel Planning on a fresh application, Comp dimensions will get attached to the RootDim and using extensibility in these dimensions will be difficult. Keep in mind that on an existing application if you have a Top member in (UD1-UD8), Comp dimensions will use the dimension that has the "Top" member as the inherited dimension.

1. Perform this check before installing the product.
