Hi,We are unable to set up Notification on Critical Errors for the ODX Server. Both service and database for the ODX is on prem. The Exchange Server is deployed as a hybrid. TimeXtender version 6221.1This is the error message:  Setting up notification for the executions in the MDW’s and SSL’s is no problem. No authentication is required by the Exchange server.BRAnders

Hi all,For one of my current client's we are rectrieving a warning while syncing the odx. The task is completed and we can transfer the data. but the warning is a bit odd.We already tried to remove the folder from the data lake and try a full load. but this didn't fix the warning. Anyone any ideas?

I’ve detected an error (sended to support) with the packages that use full load and if the incremental rule it’s defined with a datatime field.The error it’s in the ODX transfer and I’m using a SQL data source.Hope this help you.

I am working on a project with 3 environments Dev, UAT, and Prod. I scheduled ODX transfer task to run every 15 minutes.But any scheduled tasks are not working, I have to run the transfer tasks manually  Regards 

I’ve a location with multple different json files. Can i use one connector to this directory and transfer each json file, or need i to make one connector for each file? For csv files i can use one connector, for json it doesn’t seem to work this way...

Hey.This is maybe obvious - but I’m struggling to find the proper documentation, hoping someone can point me. We have TimeXtender version (20.10.42.64) on a remote server at the company I’m with, and I'm new in a data analyst role. We have the need to connect a new data source, Hubspot, to TimeXtender.  Is there only general documentation to connect new data sources or is there specific documentation related to Hubspot?     

Hi,I have a JSON data source that looks something like this{ "company": { "companyId": 1, "name": "AdventureWorks", "description": "" }, "hierarchies": [ { "depths": [ { "depth": 0, "name": null }, { "depth": 1, "name": "Company" } ], "allKeys": "1|-1|10" } ], "slicer": null, "userToGroup": "Username,GroupId\nJohn,G1\nSarah,G1\nPeter,G1\nKate,G1", "groupToKey": "GroupId,Key\nG1,10\nG1,101\nG1,102\nG1,103\nG1,104"}And I am only really interested in the last two objects, userToGroup and groupToKey, which both are in a CSV format. Is it possible to use something li

I am connecting to an Openedge Progress database via ODBC drivers. After finding out the password needs to be set in the registry, I am able to connect to the source (test connection from the Data Source properties is succesful).My sync task however fails because the datasource is not querying the correct metadata tables. In Progress, metadata for tables, columns and views is stored in the tables SYSTABLES, SYSVIEWS and SYSCOLUMNS. In the advanced settings of the datasource I am able to point out the correct column names, but not the correct tables (see screenshot below).Does anyone know how to point the datasource to the correct metadata tables?  

What does “Remove Unused Objects” do? I cannot find documentation about it. Thx!

Hello, To my understanding TimeXtender determines the data type of a column based on first x amount of rows, depending on your setup in the portal.  The fields in my source  come in as (dd.mm.yyy) for example: "05.03.2021”. I use a Storage Account with a CSV connection.  I would expect that TimeXtender creates a "date” date type out of this. However, is seems that if a field character starts with a '0’, it skips it. In the ODX it shows an Integer value '5032023’.ODX: Depending if a character starts with a '0’ the fields (dates) show up like:

At one of my clients we are using the ODX and they set it up that for every different type of load they added the data source multiple times. So for the normal full loads there is 1 source . For the incremental loads of the same source there is a different source.In the data source selection the include only the tables they need for the full load. and they do the same for the incremental. But from time to time task wil not execute without showing up in the execution log without an error. I have the feeling that because the includes je indirectly exclude the other tables and if they are running at the same time this cancels each other out. In the windows logs you can see that the package then is skipped but it's no where to be found in TX.Does anyone have an explenation about this and/or an idea how we can fix this?My idea was that maybe putting everything in 1 source and then create 2 different transfer task instead of 2 different sources would fix this p

Why does the app registration for the ODX need owner permissions on the resource? I would think that read/write permissions would be sufficient. Why does TimeXtender need the “extra” rights?

The ODX server stopped (per 25/8) synchronizing it's job status with the portal.Restarting the ODX Server does not solve the issue. Any tips?

Hi team!  I am contacting you because I am trying to transfer data from MariaDB to ODX and I received the following errorfailed with error:System.FormatException: The DateTime represented by the string is not supported in calendar  Any suggestion to solve it? Regards Ignacio 

New fields from source are not showing in the Data Movement pane.New fields are added to the source database, the new fields and data are in the ODX, I can see the new fields in the parquet files, but the fields are not showing in the Data Movement pane.I have tried to run the function in ODX “Synchronize Object”I have tried to run the “Synchronize” task in the odxI’m Running Timextender Version 6346.1

Hi All, Is it possible to use an SAP Theobald Extractor with incremental load and that just for 1 table ( or more, but not all the tables? We tried is on one table and we got an error message saying we needed to change all the tables into incremental load.Kind regards, Eric 

Dear all,I'm trying to set up a completely new ODX Server. I've installed the ODX server and made all the required configuration. When th ODX Server needs to connect to its instance i'm getting this error:I've checked all the firewall settings and I've done all the checks in this document: Configu

We are running an environment on two servers. One DEV and one PRD server. The instances are copied from the DEV to PRD server, both ODX and MDW. Apparently the jobs are also copied. After refreshing the list I'm adding jobs to run the production ODX. As we can see below I can choose between both the DEV and PRD ODX's : However. If I select the ODX Just Brands Production / JB NAV / Full Load NAV. It jumps back to ODX Just Brands / JB NAV / Full Load NAV, running the DEV ODX. Why is this?

Our machine runs in UTC+2.00, whilst our Azure databases (by default) run on UTC time. Now when we schedule an ODX Transfer task, the interface let's us schedule these tasks in UTC time. The Execution logs of a transfer task are also in UTC time. However, schedules for execution packages are in local time, UTC 2.00, and therefore there logs are also in UTC 2.00.  I guess my question is, why is this the case? Both the ODX & Execution service are services on the same machine with UTC 2.00. Both the ODX as well as the MDW and the project repo are azure db's in UTC.  Why would one use the machine time and the other the azure db timezone? And is there a way to make them the same other than resetting the machine time to UTC? Version 20.10.37

TX: 6284.1Is there a reason why Lineage generated from the Data Source Explorer in the ODX Server includes the downstream stuff in a DWH instance whereas generating Lineage from a field in a Data Area in the DWH instance does not show the ODX part of the lineage?

Hi all,I have some customers that are reloading data every x minutes in ODX Server (V20.10.x). This generates a lot of execution log entries. When I open the Execution Log in the ODX Server, it takes a long time. I think that removing old execution logs will improve the speed of opening this execution log overview window. I have no idea if it is possible to delete old execution log entries?Another option could be that the execution log view first shows the datetime range you like to see logs and then opens the overview. 

HelloI am wondering, how can I connect to Zip File? I searched and asked Xpilot and then I get this answer: To connect a Zip file in TimeXtender, you can use the "File" data source type. But I couldnt find File datasource. Has the name changed or is there another method?Best Regards

Hi all,I have a client that has a datalake with parquet files in an Azure Storage Account Blob container (Datalake Gen2). This datalake has not been created by ODX server, but has been created by Synapse (scripted, delta lake parquet files). Since we want to load multiple tables from multiple folders we use the CData Parquet connector v2023 (TX 20.10.41). The issue we have is that we can’t find the right settings for the connector to recognize that the folder we’re connecting to contains multiple tables and that the parquet files are in a subfolder of the table folder. For the connection we use a Shared Access Signature and the connection is working:The name of the container is ‘development’ which we co
