    Display Hierarchical Process Levels in the TX Orchestrator PortalSUBMITTED

    In the Orchestrator Desktop, the different levels or steps of a process are clearly visible, making it easy to understand and manage the structure of complex workflows. However, in the Portal, this hierarchical visibility is lacking, and users are unable to see the various steps in the process with the same level of detail.It would be highly beneficial if the Portal could also display the different levels in a similar manner as the Desktop version. This would improve transparency and usability in the Portal, helping users better navigate and manage their processes.

    Adding additional data sources like in version 20.xSUBMITTED

    We are currently testing the new version 7017.1 to see if we can migrate our existing version 20 project.We have 30 exactly the same Business Central environments running and in version 20 we had 1 adapter and then added the other 29 companies as an additonal adapter. I was hoping that by now some sort of functionality would have been implemented, however i can only find the clone function that we tried last year. The clone function is nice for the first time to create a new data source but when you have to maintain all the data sources it would be a lot of work to go and add new tables or fields on all the 30 data sources.Is this kind of functionality being worked on or are we forever stuck on the classic version?

    Duplicate endpoint in the TimeXtender REST data sourceSUBMITTED

    Is it possible to add the ability to duplicate an endpoint in the TimeXtender REST data source?It would be a nice feature to have to avoid doing repetitive work when working with APIs with multiple endpoints.

    Data Enrichment filter BlanksSUBMITTED

    There where it is possible to filter a column on blank values in the desktop appplication of Data Enrichment module (MDM), it seems that filtering on blank values in the portal is not possible. Please add this option, because those values are mostly the ones that users should work on.

    Data Enrichment undo change in checkboxSUBMITTED

    Tiny request, but should be working in my opinion. In Data Enrichment, when having a column with a checkbox datatype, when you select a box and want to undo the change by the usual bottun, it does not undo your change of checking the checkbox. For the other datatypes, the undo button works fine.

    Enhanced Failure/Error handling for executions and data sourcesSUBMITTED

    It would be beneficial to introduce more flexible and granular error handling options for executions and data sources.Current LimitationsFor Executions:RetryFail — causes all subsequent steps to fail after the first failure.For Data Sources:Fail — stops all processing after the failure.Continue without data — proceeds with the execution, but incorrectly marks it as successful.Continue with old data — same as above; the execution is marked successful despite a failure.The available options would not handle certain scenarios, for instance, a client has 20 different data sources, they need to load all valid sources while being notified about any that fail. However, with the current settings:If we choose "Continue without data", the execution completes successfully and no alert is triggered.If we choose "Fail", the failure of one source stops the remaining from loading, which is also undesirable.Suggested Enhancement:We propose expanding the failure handling options for Executions, Data Sources, or at least for Data Sources to include:Fail entire execution if any step fails (current behavior, but configurable)Retry failed stepsSkip failed step but send error notification, with the choice to:Continue without dataContinue using old dataThis would allow more flexibility for users who need a middle ground between full failure and silent success.

    Fabric Lakehouse smart synchronizationSUBMITTED

    Fabric Lakehouse fields come through with underscores instead of spaces, e.g. Company_Currency.Prepare instance fields might be identical but with spaces for readability, e.g. Company Currency.When smart synchronizing a table in a Fabric Lakehouse solution, it would be great if TDI would perceive spaces and underscores as being the same character so we can avoid all the manual field mappings.

    Add default/general formatting options for columns/measures in Deliver instancesSUBMITTED

    It costs a lot of time setting all format options for date, datetime and currency columns/measures correctly. In most cases, you like to use the same formatting for all date, datimetime and currency columns/measures in the same Deliver instance.It would be way easier if we have a 'general/default formatting setting’ in the Deliver instances to set some default formats for currency, date, datetime and time. Or at least show the last used format at the top of the dropdown list, this will save a lot of time scrolling through all formatting options.

    Preserve metadata when cloning a data sourceSUBMITTED

    If a user connects to AX 2012 using a standard SQL connector and decides to switch to the Dynamics Finance provider, the switch is implemented as a cloning. This cloning does unfortunately not “remember” the selected tables and fields in the original data source … effectively preventing the provider switch in larger solutions.It would be nice with an option to retain all metadata (including keys, incremental rules, etc.) when cloning a data source … also when it’s a standard cloning and not a provider change.

    Simplify Instance upgrade after upgrading TimeXtenderSUBMITTED

    After upgrading TimeXtender (TDI/TIS) to the latest version, most of the times you have to individually open all instance to upgrade them to the latest versionIn a setup with 55 instances times 3 environments (dev/test/prod) this is serious time-consuming work. Opening, confirming, waiting until the instance is loaded, close it, next, repeat. This should be way simpler.E.g. a wizard where you can select the instances (include option ‘select all’) and instantly upgrade them. It may be a window within the Execution Service Config tool.

    Fail/Retrying execution messageSUBMITTED

    I have a situation where a v6221.1 MDW execution step initially failed. Because of the Retry configuration, the package ultimately succeed and the MDW execution log shows Succeeded = True, which is the desired behavior.But I received two email notifications from this execution; a Fail message after the initial Fail and a Success message after the final Success.Since TX knows that it will be retrying the step, I suggest we change the subject for the first email notification to be something like “Fail/Retrying” instead of just “Fail”. I get alarmed when I see “Fail” whereas I would only be on alert if I saw “Fail/Retrying” or something like that … and when I get alarmed, I immediately jump onto the customer’s box to see what’s happening.

    CSV Data Source - Skip Top X rows when determining Header recordSUBMITTED

    In the current TimeXtender CSV Data source, the Header Setup only allows the first record to be marked as the header. In some cases, files may contain one or more redundant rows, before the actual data starts:<Row>       1 Some irrelevant data     2 FieldA FieldB FieldC 3 1 A ... 4 2 B ... 5 ... ... ...  In those cases, you would want to skip the top X rows and mark row x+1 as the header.

    Currently, using Fabric workspaces with special characters in it (i.e. a forward slash or a space) leads to errors.

    Trust Server Certificate - TimeXtender REST ConnectorSUBMITTED

    Add filter and/or sort option in Execution Package windowSUBMITTED

    When you have a big project with a lot of tables, it would be much easier to have the option to search and/or sort tables in the 'All Steps' pane.If you need specific tables within the packages, it can take a long time to find them. A project perspective could also be an option. However, I think having a search and/or sort feature in the Execution Package window would make it much easier.

    Create TimeXtender Fabric Items in foldersSUBMITTED

    At the moment TimeXtender creates all Fabric Items in the root of the Workspace, leading to many objects (lakehouses, fabric sql instances, notebooks, etc.) being dumped in a hard-to-manage list. As Fabric workspaces now support folders, it would be great if artifacts could be created in folders.

    License-Wide KeystoresSUBMITTED

    With the increasing complexity of data landscapes and the rise of data mesh architectures, it would be highly beneficial to introduce license-wide keystores in TimeXtender. The idea is to create a centralized key store that can be accessed and used across different project instances within the same license.Currently, encryption keys or secrets are tied to individual instances. A license-wide keystore would allow for consistent and secure management of keys across the entire organization.This feature would improve: Security, by reducing redundant key management and promoting centralized governance. Efficiency, as teams wouldn't have to duplicate keystore configurations. Scalability, especially in data mesh setups where decentralized teams still rely on shared infrastructure. Data integration, by making it easier to link and work with data from different parts of the organization using the same keystore—enabling smoother cross-domain connectivity and unified access to encrypted resources.

    Extend Storage Management Task features for Azure Data Lake in Ingest Server – move data to Cold Storage/Archive based on rulesSUBMITTED

    Currently, the Storage Management task in the Ingest Server is very limited, especially regarding the ability to remove old versions or move them to cold storage.It would be very powerful if we could move data to cold storage or archive based on defined rules—such as data older than a certain number of years, months, weeks, and so on.

    Add cURL compatibility to the TX REST connectorSUBMITTED

    Hi,Please consider adding cURL compatibility to the TimeXtender REST connector. Many devs use Postman to test API’s and it is easy to export complex API calls in a cURL format.It would be amazing if it was possible to paste the cURL into TimeXtender’s REST connector. Best,Pontus Berglund

    Business Unit - Get notified when table reload fails while “When Transfer Fails: Continue with Existing Data" option is enabledSUBMITTED

    In the Business Units section, there is an option called “When Transfer Fails: Continue with Existing Data". If this option is enabled, and the table fails to load successfully, you will not receive an error or warning notification email.The only way to notice this issue is to manually check the logs or realize that the data hasn't been updated in the reports.It would be much better if users could receive an email notification in such cases.By the way, I’m missing the option to select the product area "TimeXtender Classic/V20.10." in this idea section.Of course, this is currently only supported in Business Units.

    See which tables were executed in the execution queueSUBMITTED

    Hi there,I’d really love a quick and easy way to see which tables are being executed in the execution queue. Let’s take this example, I’m executing six tables separately:  I’d like to see in which order they are being executed and which ones finished successfully. I can see which table had an error if I choose View Error of course. I know about the execution log but I think this could be much simpler and user friendly by displaying it somewhere in the queue or with a button similar to View Error.

    Support partitioning in Fabric LakehouseSUBMITTED

    We have some large tables source tables that need to split up for further transformation. For instance, we have a large source table containing all corporate financial transactions, that need to be divided over several divisions. To achieve more efficiency in processing, we like TX (ingest/prepare) to support the partition functionality of Fabric.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-factory/tutorial-lakehouse-partition
