Connecting to Azure Active Directory (AAD)

Dear Community,I’m having some issues with connecting to the Azure Active Directory. We want to use this data for RLS and feed this from the DWH.I’ve set up the Active Directory Connector and put in credentials:  After a minute or so I get an timeout. If I leave out the OAuth stuff I get an not authorized. What do I need to set up here to get the data from the AAD? Thanks!

JSON connector only get 1st JSON file from Blob

Dear Comunity,I’ve got a blob folder which contains 10 JSON files. I’ve set everything up but it only gets 1 file (the first) from the blob. Also only 1 RSD files get created. Is there something in the connector that needs to change in order for the connector to get more then 1 file? Thanks in advance

Error when processing data from odx to snowflake

Good afternoonWe are working on the migration to fully deploy to Snowflake. We created a sas token as described in the instruction (https://support.timextender.com/configure-resources-126/use-snowflake-data-warehouse-storage-727) and added the token in the ODX settings in the portal.  However when we deploy and execute to Snowflake the deployment goes fine but when executing we get the following error:Failure using stage area. Cause: [This request is not authorized to perform this operation. (Status Code: 403; Error Code: AuthorizationFailure)]In Snowflake the user has enough priviliges but it is when running the stage that want to read from the data lake storage that this error occures.The storage account has enabled that you can read from it with keys so that should not be the issue.Any ideas on why Snowflake can not access the data lake?

Error synchronizing TimeXtender Dynamics 365 Business Central - Online data source

I get the following error message when synchronizing a TimeXtender Dynamics 365 Business Central - Online data source: “System.AggregateException: Ett eller flera fel har uppstått. ---> System.ApplicationException: Invalid response from Business Central retrieving table Field for company “ Authorize OAuth as well as Test Connection is successful in TimeXtender desktop. It seems like the Tenant and the Environment parameters are correct as connection fails when I alter these parameters. I am able to authorize and connect regardless what I input in the fields in the Account section. I use the Service to Service authentication with Client ID and Client Secret from the Azure app registration. I use TimeXtender v. 6718.1 and ODX Service v. 6718.1. Any suggestions on what to try next?

Data movement ODX -> DSA with mapping set

HiIt looks impossible to add a new field from the ODX onto the DSA, once you have added fields before. I’m not able to drag a new field (one of the grayed out fields) onto the table. Only solution seems to drop the existing mapping set and restart. Am I missing something? Situation as is:We are using TX-version is V21 Different agencies, all using the same ERP. Have created different ODX-sources for each agency. Created a mapping set to import data from ODX to DSA. Mapping set is a handy feature. Instead of dragging each data source individually, you can create a mapping set that will pull in all the tables with the same name and structure Problem seems to be that when you have created the mapping set, that you can’t change/add something afterwards. This can’t be the case I assume.In the example I have added 14 fields before. I now want to add (1) more but the application won’t let me drop it on the table (or mapping set).  Thanks for your thoughts/solutions

Why do datatypes in the Raw table change with the Valid?

Hello,I have a question about the RAW tables in TimeXtender. I noticed that the data types of the fields in the RAW table change when I modify them in the tool. I was under the impression that RAW tables should keep the original data types from the source, since this would be “RAW”.I ran into trouble when loading transferring from the ODX. I changed the datatype of a field and even added a transformation that resulted in a CAST in the transformation view. However, I got an error message saying: The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type float of the specified target column.This should not be, because the source contains only data that is/should be convertible to a float. The Raw table has no data, which I find strange. Changing the fields data type to float has also changed the datatype of the Raw table. I would expect the Raw table to always have the same datatype as the source and that the changing of datatypes is handled in the transformation vie

Table in ODX doesn't populate despite Override Data Type

Hi,A csv table with the first approx. 23,000 rows containing only integers in the first column, doesn’t fully populate in the ODX because in row 23,000-somewhere this field contains text:“Error obtaining value ‘E04012’ for column ‘ArtikelNR’. Failed to convert to data type: ‘int’.”The data type has been set to override from ‘int’ to ‘Text’ = ‘varchar(max)’.TX version 6718.1. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

ODX Notifications Configured and Tested Successfully But Fail to Receive Email With Failure

HiI have set up ‘notifications on critical errors’ in ODX and can test successfully by clicking the [Test Notification] button. However, when I attempt to fail an ODX job on purpose to test it works (by purposefully using incorrect credentials to connect to the data source) the ODX job fails but I do not receive an email.If I receive a test notification email by clicking the [Test Notification] can I assume the mail server is correctly configured?Or is it that a set of incorrect credentials for the data source is NOT considered ‘critical’?Or could it be something else?ODX: 6675.2TX: 6698.1

CSV provider fails after upgrade to 24.0.8963.0

Hello TX Team, I just updated the data source version in the portal. After the update the data of one of the sources was gone. Even though I can sync and get data.  If I test the connection in the portal I get this error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.In the desktop I am seeing a test table and not the tables from the blob. I am running the latest TX Version: 6698.1 and the latest ODX version: 6675.2 Two data sources are connected to the ODX (both csv files from a blob storage) Can someone please help or advise on the issue? Each time I update something in TX my flow breaks.  Thank you in advance. Kind Regards, Boy

how to activate ssl on postgresql cdataconnection

Hi,I have a postgresql cd connector which works well with SSL set to false, we activated a self signed SSL certificate on the database server side, but connecting with tx setting ssl to true is not workingthe owner of the database mentioned i should accept the certificate but from TX there is no prompt to accept the SSL certificate, how do I need to proceed? Do we need to install anything on our end (tx server), it should not as it is a self signed certificate. Thanks your help!Linda Monincx

ODX Dev sources are different then ODX Prod sources

Dear Sir,We are migrating TimeXtender to the latest and the greatest Our client is using the old school Business Units for there ODX Data Sources.Development data sources are different then Production data sources.So our client wants to have the same ODX setup in their new version of TimeXtender (6675.2).So I need to setup 2 ODX servers for this right ? One for DEV and one for PROD.If that is true, I need two Window servers to install two ODX servers. One for DEV and one for PROD.Question:Or can I install/run two ODX servers on just one Window server ?Client is going to use TimeXtender ODX Server 6675.2Hope this makes any sense. Regards,Arthur

TX freezes when opening the ODX

Hello,We recently updated our TX and ODX to version 6675.2. Things were working fine until yesterday. Now whenever we open the ODX inside TX, the whole program freezes (image 1). It does not seem to be related to our VM. I have tried giving myself and the ODX service account more permissions on the C:\ProgramData\TimeXtender (sub)folders but that did not help.The only fix so far seems to be restarting the TimeXtender_ODX_Service_6675.2 in Windows Services. This is also not always without issue (image 2).

Service Principal access to (DWH) Azure SQL db with ADF

Hi,One of the latest features is that we can use Azure Entra ID Service Principals in order for TX to authenticate with DWH storage such as Azure SQL db. Last week I tried to use this but encountered this issue when deploying one of the data areas:  We will use ADF for data transfer from ODX (data lake) to DWH. Is this by design and will this be made possible in the future? The version of the TX implementation is 6675.2

Keep data source connections in sync in 6675.2

We have 30 companies with each their own BC installation. So right now we have 30 data source connection. I created one data source connection with all the table and fields that we need. After that i cloned that one. I created all the mapping sets, so for now i have the right setup for all the companies. But now comes the problem. What if i want to added a new table and columns to all the companies. Do i need to do that on all the 30 companies? When i want to clone them again i get the message that the name already exists. Is there any way to do this easily without having to delete everything again and clone each time.

Source in ODX Shows no error.

Because of another unrelated issue, I have discovered that the service account does not have acces to a certain folder where my source files are in. However, if I go to edit data source → Test Connection. It says it is connected successfully. If I go to the query tool to check my source, I get an error. Acces denied. And if run the sync/transfer tasks, I get a warning saying:The view [CSV].[AggregatedFiles] has no columns.The view is ignored And if I run this source in a job, from an Execution. I get no error/warning at all. How is this supposed to work?
