Hi,I did renew my solutions architect certificate today. Is there any expire date for certificates granted nowadays? When i got certified in 2023 it was valid for two years. Best regards,Markus

Couple of questions regardnig the new version:Why does date say November 2025 for the latest release: Download TimeXtender 20.10 – TimeXtender Support. A bit confusing. Is it the latest version, or is the latest version only available in customer portail? Here is says that V25 is TimeXtenders new focus for on-prem solution, but the lasted version on customer portail is 20.10.74.64. Where can v25 be downloaded from? If upgraded to the TimeXtender Data Integration (fully cloud version), how much work is it to migrate everything from 20.10.45.X ?

At our client Heijmans, we're experiencing differences in mappings from the same table in the Ingest.We're on TDI 7208.1 and Prepare Instance oDataWareHouse version 3655Using a Salesforce source, we're using the table Object__c where we approximately have 400 fields available. At the moment, we only have about 350 ‘checked’ in the Ingest. However, when adding new fields (of the remaining 50), and transferring and synchronizing the project, the mapping doesn’t update. It's even possible to add the same table as a second source and then, the whole list becomes available. To give another example, the standard field [odx_timestamp] has been checked in the Ingest, but is only visible in the second mapping in the project.   

Hi,After getting a new phone the two-factor authentication doesnt work anymore when login to TimeXtender Data Integration 7278.1Need support for further assistance :-)regards,Bjørn A.

Hi,We are experiencing an issue with two execution packages, 2_A and 1_B, which are configured not to run concurrently (they are not marked for concurrent execution in the Execution Package Editor).However, we have observed that they are running at the same time.Here is our setup: 2_A is part of a chain and runs as a post-execution step after 1_A. 1_A is allowed to run concurrently with 1_B. Since 1_A typically completes much faster than 1_B, this sometimes results in 2_A starting while 1_B is still running. We want to prevent 2_A and 1_B from ever running simultaneously.Could you please clarify how concurrency is evaluated in this scenario?Is it determined by the parent package (1_A) settings, or should the restriction between 2_A and 1_B be enforced differently?What would be the recommended way to configure this to ensure 2_A never starts while 1_B is still executing?

Hello,I have a question about the exam material for TX TDI.Is the exam content updated with each new TX TDI release, or can it become slightly outdated compared to the latest version of the software?For example, if a button used to create a custom field changes name or location in a newer release, and I get a multiple-choice exam question asking for the step-by-step process, should the candidate answer based on the documentation/training material, or based on the latest functionality in the software? 

Hi,I have a question regarding history-enabled tables and slowly changing dimensions (SCDs). In my case, I have a specific store that recently changed its store name. In the transaction table, I want to keep the old store name for all transactions prior to 01.01.2023.The best solution is probably to introduce a history table with a Slowly Changing Dimension on the store dimension, right?Currently, my table is incremental, but once a week we perform a full load back to 2021 (a large amount of data). According to the article I read, I should add an additional join similar to the one shown in the picture below. However, in my experience, adding such lookups often makes the execution significantly slower.What do you think? Do you have any suggestions for a better approach, or is this perhaps already the best solution?I’m also wondering whether it would help to convert the transaction table (the fact table) to a proper history table instead of keeping it as an incremental table? The dimensi

Hi all, Does anyone have experience with or managed to do a “dynamic” kind of flexi multi key join in TimeXteder? Example like this --- a.[BUYER_GROUP_CD], b.[BUYER_GROUP]FROM[DSA].[SYNAPSE_SILVER] aLEFT JOIN[DSA].[XLS_PURCHASING_GRP] b    ON a.[BUYERGRP] = b.[BUYER_GROUP] OR ON a.[BUYER_GROUP_DESC] = b.[BUYER_GROUP_ID] OR ON a.[BUYER = b.[BUYER_GROUP_WORKSPACE_ID]

Hi. Is it possible to move my current community account to my new e-mail address? I could not find anywhere to update this on my profile.

Hi!I have just installed TX 20.10.66.64 on a new server for a customer and following the steps of the “Configure Multiple Environments” article. Created a service account and setup the Windows Services through TimeXtender. Logged in on TimeXtender with the Service account for prod and linked it to the prod repository (which is on a different server). Now I'm trying to setup the production environment in TimeXtender. I opened Environment properties and clicked New Environment, gave it a name and filled in the address of the server (and instance) containing the prod repository. Filled in the ports. When clicking OK to close the Add Environment window I almost immediately get the error from the printscreen below: Has anyone come across this before? 

Hi!I am currently investigating something for a customer of ours. They just switched their Telephony system to Teams Telephone  and want to use a dashboard in Power BI to show the current queue of callers. The data can be extracted from Teams Telephone by MS Graph API. This customer has a TimeXtender environment in production, so adding a new datasource (TimeXtender REST connection to the MS Graph API) will not be the hardest part.But, they want the dashboard to show (near) real-time data. Is it possible for TimeXtender to take in data, prepare it for the report and refresh the semantic layer within seconds and then start again?I am aware MS have created a plugin for Teams to show these numbers in a dashboard of their own in the application, but our customer would like to know if it is possible to create this in Power BI using TimeXtender. Kind regards, Richard

 Hi!A customer I am working for recently did an upgrade to TX Classic 20.10.66.64.After switching all data sources from ODX to Business Units not all datatypes are set correctly in TimeXtender. Especially the columns containing the datatype “time(7)”. When you check the fields in the new datasource the datatype for that field is shown as unknown, while sql recognizes the source as a “time(7)” field. We were able to resolve this with the overrule datatype option, but would like to have it investigated to check if this is desirable. TimeXtender:  SSMS: Datasource: Any Source ADO.netDataprovider: SQLClient Data Provider (.Net Framework data provider)

Hi Just installed TX 20.10.66.64 on a new server for a customer and connected to the server where the txrepository is kept, all without any problems. Now I need to setup the Prod environment and therefore start the service I created for that, but this keeps showing an error message:  From the application log of the server:  

Hi!A customer I am working for has been wanting to upgrade their TimeXtender version to the new V25 / Classic. According to this article: Important information regarding TimeXtender 20.10 (V20), TimeXtender Data Integration (TDI), and TimeXtender Classic (V25 / Classic) the release would be end of march. But until now there has been no update on this new version. Would it be possible to get an update on the release date so they can decide which version to upgrade to? 

is it possible, as the title says .. to Copy and entire semantic layer to a new semantic layer, or copy the exsisting tables with relations from 1 semantic layer to a new one ?

At one point you had a link to describe how to write a custom data source so it will show up in the list of Custom Data Sources in TX.  Can you link me to that documentation?

Hi, I have a virtual machine that is currently hosting the ODX service and I would like to get my local machine up and running with TX desktop.  I have installed the application but am getting an error that can be found below.  I have looked through the documentation regarding this but it seems that the legacy documenation is all I can find with anything relevant.  In the screen shots it is asking to review settings in the ODX tab and the Project repository tab which are non existent in the latest TX version I am using.  I only see General and Customer editors when looking at Tools>options. ERROR> A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)Details:SQL Server: 'sql-instances-prod.database.windows.net'SQL Error Number: 64

In the TimeXtender Classic training, I only see 4 modules, while Peter Jensen (element61) sees 5 modules. See below screenshots. We are wondering why Peter has a module named ‘Business units’ that I don’t see.  

hi thereAfter the latest update executionengine_x64 and Jet datamanager server takes 100% of my cpu ..  are there anyone who have experienced the same ?

We're experiencing projects to open very slowly using TX 20.10.38 (we're above version 10000 of the project) Is there an easy way to remove old versions of a project ? We are using multi environment with global databases, and don't want to go through the export, create new repo DB and import hustle.We're also trying to delete the logs, but deleting them from within TX seems to take forever.

Good DayOne of our clients who use TimeXtender (20.10.47.64) experiences a Server Memory issue in Production when IT Operations opened the Multiple Environment Transfer Window. IT Operations reported that the window took ages to open but did eventually open. The Network Administrator did then have to hard reboot the server in order to get it to respond.Attached are the messages reported within TimeXtender.  

Hi,I am currently working in TimeXtender Data Integration (version 6766.1) and would like to view the relationships between my tables. However, when I access the “Relation Diagram,” I do not see any relationships—neither between tables across different data areas (e.g., DSA and MDW) nor between tables with lookup fields.Is there a specific setting I need to enable to view these relationships? The data lineage for specific fields is functioning perfectly.

Hi,I previously obtained my TimeXtender Solutions Architect certificate. How can I get the badge to show up in the community? Kind regards,Ludwig
