You can run the EnergyPlus measures in the OpenStudio application and in PAT. In OpenStudio you have to do this in the "Measrues" tab. You can't run an EnergyPlus measure using "Apply measures now". The reason for this limitation is that an IDF isn't typically generated until you kick off a run. As part of the runtime workflow the OSM file gets translated to IDF, then any EnergyPlus measures placed in the workflow are run, then the resulting IDF is passed to EnergyPlus for simulation. After EnergyPlus is done, any Reporting measures will run.
Here is a link to a view of measures tab in OpenStudio application and PAT. You can also run EnergyPlus measures using The OpenStudio cloud based spreadsheet analysis, and using the command line on your computer, outside of any OpenStudio GUI's.
