General Q&A

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, I am trying to set up a new Ingest Instance with Microsoft Fabric Storage. I am following Christian Hauggaard’s guide for Integrating TimeXtender Data Integration with Microsoft Fabric, but i am stuck on step 2. Create Storage for Ingest Instance. (Link: Fabric Lakehouse Ingest Instance storage (Public Preview) | Community)The guide describes using a non-MFA user when authenticating, but i am stuck using my Azure AD user with MFA enabled. When i try to create storage in TimeXtender Data Integration i get the attached error message, and when i check the sign-in logs for my app registration in Azure there is an ‘interrupted’ sign-in attempt with error code 50076 (User needs to perform multi-factor authentication).  Error message detailsIs there any way to resolve this issue with the current MFA-requirement on my user? 

Hi,I'm having some issues with renaming a table. There's a an incremental table in my MDW, containing 60 million rows. I'm trying to rename the table whilst keeping all data.I've tried several combinations (deploy, deploy & execute, deploy with differential deployment unchecked, etc.). But it keeps throwing the same error during the "Deploy Direct Read Transfer" stage of the deployment. In SSMS I can see that the table was in fact renamed correctly.The error is:fact_example to fact_example_oldInvalid object name 'mdw.fact_example'.Yes, I know that's an invalid object name because you've just renamed that table...At some stage I actually managed to lose all data which is quite unfortunate.There are a few supernatural key fields, there is a clustered columnstore index, no (custom) table inserts, no relations.Any ideas what could be causing this? I've got no idea where to look.Version is 20.10.66.

 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:  

Dear Customers,We would like to update you regarding the potential impact of CVE-2025-30065, a recently disclosed vulnerability affecting certain versions of the Apache Parquet library.Our product uses Parquet.Net for reading and writing Parquet files. This library is implemented in .NET and is not affected by CVE-2025-30065, which specifically targets the parquet-avro module in the Apache Parquet Java ecosystem. Therefore, there is no exposure to this vulnerability within the core functionality of our application.Microsoft Fabric and Azure Data FactoryWe initially flagged potential risk in those environments based on observations that Microsoft Fabric and Azure Data Factory (ADF) make use of Apache Parquet version 1.13.1, which is one of the versions known to be vulnerable to CVE-2025-30065. However, we have since received official clarification from Microsoft confirming:They do not ship the parquet-avro module. The CVE does not apply to their runtime.This significantly reduces the ri

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 ?

Hi,I am working with TimeXtender and have an SSAS tabular on-premise on a virtual machine as the endpoint. I want to publish my Power BI dashboard to the Power BI service. However, when I attempt to publish, I receive a message indicating that the connection to the data source is broken. How can I resolve this issue? We do not have Power BI Premium licenses, hence the use of SSAS.Looking forward to your response.Best regards,Dean

Hi,I'’ m upgrading from 20.10.52 to 20.10.63 and are waiting for a long time (over a hour)  message“please wait while the application is preparing for first use”and after a while a message“installer not reponding “ with a retry or cancel.Is this normal behaviour? 

I am currently working with TimeXtender Data Integration and would like to leverage the tables created there within TimeXtender Data Quality. Could someone provide a detailed explanation or step-by-step guide on how to achieve this integration?

Hi,our version is 20.10.52.64. Noticed the the Cdata connectors are disappeared for new connections, so want to upgrade to newest version. According to me that is 20.10.63.64 if I'm correct. Are there things to take into account when upgrading to this version? Can I just run the upgrade script from my version to this newest version? Also, is this new version a good version if i eventually want to upgrade to TimeXtender Saas in the future? I've read Download TimeXtender 20.10 – TimeXtender Support, so i know from the "backlog issue” Just want to get confirmed i'm doing the right steps, things, version upgrade :-) thanks!    

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

I have a table (table A) with a lookup field from table B (using the default relation between A and B). This works fine.Table B is then renamed because of a spelling error, deployed and executed. Good.Table A still seems to be OK: the relationship between A and B looks fine and the data cleansing procedure (Advanced -> Customize Code -> Data Cleansing Procedure) contains table B with its newly updated name.However, table A won't execute because the deployed version of the data cleansing procedure still references table B's old name.The simple fix is to force a deployment of table A, but I think TimeXtender should have noticed that a deployment was needed (red table name). Seems like a bug to me.Legacy version 20.10.50.64Details:        SQL Server: 'my-mdw-database.example.com'    SQL Procedure: 'MDW_TR.usp_table_A_Clean'    SQL Line Number: 65    SQL Error Number: 208        Invalid object name 'MDW.table_B_old_name'.

Dear Sir, One of our customers wants to keep working with TX classic into the future.Question: Till when is the 20.10 TimeXtender Classic supported  ?Customers have to migratie sooner of later right ? Is there a deadline ?Or is TimeXtender Classic still supported for say the next 10 years ?Hope you can shine a light on this. 😀Regards,Arthur

Hello TimeXtender Support,We are looking to upgrade the ODX server at the customer. Currently the ODX service is installed on the PROD server. We first want to install the new version of the ODX service on the DEV, basically run a sandbox project to ensure everything is running fine and then upgrade the ODX service on PROD.Now, I've been told by Rory that there is a change that running a newer version of the ODX service will impact the metadata in the ODX repository in a way that is irreversible. I want to make sure that we can first try the new version of the ODX service in the DEV environment without impacting the ODX repository, so we can go back to the previous situation if anything problematic pops up and don't impact PROD.My question is: can we safely install a sandbox version of the ODX service on the DEV server and have it call home without irreversibly changing our ODX repository between these two versions?ODX Service 20.10.37>ODX Service 20.10.57Hilsen,Luuk Bouman

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.

Many TimeXtender users have started experimenting with TimeXtender Data Integration on Fabric. As this is still in Public Preview, we really appreciate your feedback regarding:bugs/errors missing documentation improvement suggestions new ideasThank you for your engagement. 

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

Hi,Is there a way to view the data lineage for tables populated using the Custom Table Insert method? When we select the “Data Lineage” option for a column in a Custom Table Insert table, it only shows the data lineage with that table as the source, rather than displaying the tables used within the Custom Table Insert itself.I saw that this post had a similar question like mine, but I couldn't find an update about it: data lineage for custom table insert | CommunityThank you in advance!
