Ingest

I am trying to load a semicolon csv file with ODX (version 6766.1)The output is just 1 column.What box do I have to tick in the app portal to seperate the collumns on ; (semicolon) ?Regards,Arthur

Hi all,I am currently working with a client who is using TimeXtender version 6766.1 in an Azure environment. We are trying to ingest data from a source that generates JSON files stored in a hierarchical folder structure organized by date and hour. The folder structure is as follows:subject/version/date=YYYY-MM-DD/hr=HH/*.jsonExample Path: dev/Call/1.2/date=2024-10-30/hr=14/*.jsonWithin each hr=HH (hour) folder, there may be one or more JSON files. Similarly, each date=YYYY-MM-DD (date) folder may contain multiple hour subfolders, though it's rare for all 24 hour subfolders to be present.I have successfully configured the data source connector in TimeXtender to read all JSON files from a specific hour folder, as shown in the example above. However, our goal is to configure TimeXtender to ingest all JSON files across all date and hour subfolders under the main path:dev/Call

Hello,I am encountering a challenge with the REST connector when it deals with JSON data that includes empty property names. This issue arises specifically during the conversion of JSON to XML.The REST connector fails when trying to convert JSON data that contains properties with empty names. Here is the error message I receive:Failed to execute endpoint 'authenticate':XmlNodeConverter cannot convert JSON with an empty property name to XML. Path 'TX_Autogenerated_Element.menu.categories.', line 1, position 94530. This error stops the ingestion process because XML does not support tags with empty names, which are present in the JSON structure. This is the problematic part of the JSON structure:{    "categories": {        "": {            "collapsed": false,            "description": "<No Category>",            "id": ""        },        "BUD": {            "coll

HiWe experienced for the second time a failure with our overnight TX jobs not running (first time was on 16 Sep) and on investigation we were not able to open up the ODX in TimeXtender (same issue as already logged here https://support.timextender.com/ingest-89/tx-freezes-when-opening-the-odx-2248)Could not manually stop and restart the  [TimeXtender_Ingest_Service_6744.1] service, so had to manually kill the task from the CMD and rerun the [TimeXtender Ingest Service Configuration 6744.1] tool.In the other post the conclusion seemed to be that this issue had now been resolved, but for us the issue has now occurred twice in the last 6 or so weeks.Is this still a known issue?TimeXtender Ingest 6744.1TimeXtender Data Integration 6745.1

Hi, I'm currenty developing the GA4 connector in TimeXtender. With some other tips and tricks of other posts it was quite simple to create the connection. At this moment I have 7 different properties from where all data should be loaded. I've read multiple posts but haven't found a solution to extract data dynamically over a list of properties.  Current setup:CData Connector -- Google Analytics In this connector I can filter on property ID. TimeXtender -- v6xxxx + ODX Creating managed Queries to filter the relevant data from [GlobalAccessObject]. But haven't found a property id in this list.  I think that currently the only option is to create for each property one connection. Or has someone found another solution?

Hi, we are in a project to update our on premise ERP system Infor to the current version Infor LN CE which is running on the cloud. Since we cannot access the database then directly we are currently checking how to ingest the data to TimeXtender in future. There is a tool within the ERP suite to provide the data to "Infor Data Fabric" which is an Amazon S3 data lake where the ERP data is stored in JSON files. This data fabric provides a SQL Endpoint to query the data. So similar architecture as in MS fabric with lakehouses. The data can be queried in two ways:- JDBC: using a JDBC driver with API Gateway authentification, see    Link- API: handle API request in a certain order to start a query job, aks its status and get the results, see

Hello everyone,I'm facing an issue with TimeXtender when trying to retrieve tables containing datetimeoffset columns through the Generic ODBC Data Source connector. The datetimeoffset columns aren’t coming through, and in the ODBC settings, the option to override datetime types is greyed out, which I thought might solve the issue.Has anyone encountered this or found a workaround to retrieve datetimeoffset data through ODBC in TimeXtender?Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,I'm facing an issue where one of the columns in my destination table has the same name as a SQL function, and because of this, I'm unable to retrieve it in a normal way. To work around this problem, I wanted to use the Query Table Tool to retrieve the column in a parameterized way.However, for this specific data source (which is a Generic ODBC Data Source), the Query Table Tool option is greyed out. I've noticed that the Query Table Tool is available for other data source types.Has anyone encountered this issue before?Thanks in advance!

Using the TimeXtender Dynamics 365 Business Central - Online connector, I'm having trouble filtering columns in the ODX. With all columns selected everything is fine, but once I make a selection in columns I get the error below when running the Transfer Task. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?

Dear Sir,I am connecting through Cdata to Sharepoint Online.I have hierarchies in my Sharepoint data, I can see them when I connect with PowerBI to my Sharepoint site. Can I use the Data Model feature ‘Flatten Documents’ like you can with JSon connectivity ?It looks like CData for Sharepoint Online doesn't have this capability. Can I somehow bring these ‘hidden fields’ into my TimeXtender  project ?In the attachment (Knipsel.PNG) you can see the hierarchical option in PowerBI with PowerQuery. I miss these fields when I connect with TX Cdata to the same Sharepoint site.Hope you can shine a light on this.Thank you in advance for looking into this case. Regards,Arthur 

 Hi,I’m am trying to create a ODBC data source connection in the TimeXtender ODX portal.I have created a ODBC data source on the server on which TimeXtender is run, see picture below.

Hello Community!When running a rollup task, the resulting rollup file ends up in a separate folder inside the same full load folder: After the rollup, new incremental files continue to appear in the DATA folder and the old incremental files are still there. What have we achieved by doing the rollup? Is the new rollup file being used at all? How can we delete the old incremental files given that the delete Storage Management task only removes entire full load folders and we don’t perform full loads?Currently I don’t understand how we can clean up the many incremental files, both for load performance and storage management.Please note: We cannot rely on doing regular full loads because of the size of the tables.Thanks!TX version: 6745.1Connector: TimeXtender SQL Data Sou

I’m trying to connect to Business Central Online using the Time Xtender connector.

Hi support,Following this ticket I will make one myself to keep things clear. We have set up a Business Central 365 connection, both via OAuth2.0 as service to service authentication. We have succesfully tested the connection with both authentication options. However, when we want to read objects, we receive the error “Invalid response from Business Central retrieving table Field for company”. Full log is added to this ticket as an attachment. We have walked through all steps from the prerequisites guide. Hence, we have a succesful connection. From the other ticket I understand that there are more versions of the Jet Analytics for Business Central extension. It has to be the newest one and I have to keep on trying. In the Extension Marketplace we only

Hi!I’m doing some tests and trying to set up som e form of incremental load with this connector to an API endpoint. It works fine with the two static parameters but as soon as I add the parameter for lastSynchronizedRowVersion with its dynamic value I get an error with I run the Synchronize job.Is there something obvious that I have missed here?I tried to follow the article Connect to Fixer IO with the TimeXtender REST data source | CommunitySetup for the endpoint: Error message:

Hi!I have set up a REST connection in my Ingest instance to an API with multiple endpoints. The first time I misspelled two of the endpoint names, which I later changed. Then I noticed that the “old” names are still active in the ODX and does not get updated despite multiple refreshes (see attached screenshot). We have already done some work on some of the endpoints so I’m a bit reluctant to delete the whole connection and set it up again just to get these names updated. Is there some other way to fix this?  

The sync of my ODX datasource returns the following error.  The datasource is a REST API endpoint of the form URL/{foreign_ID}, where foreign_id is a dynamic value that comes from a different endpoint within the same data source. The option "Perform exhaustive meta data scan” is enabled. The error returned is this:Failed to read metadata from XmlDocument for endpoint X with transformation 'T'Input string was not in a correct format.There is no further information.  The sync does work when I replace foreign_ID by a fixed value.  The endpoint contains a field that has a lot of values that look like integers, but some values contain letters. Since the above error message is the most verbose info I’ve got, I assumed that's probably the cause. However this conflicts with my understanding of what an “exhaustive meta data scan” should do.  Any help is appreciated. 

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!

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

Hi I am trying to find a way to filter rows in ODX on multiple 'like’ expressions.Below the SQL statement i use in SQL Server Manager that i would like to implement;SELECT [autoid], [values]FROM TableAWHERE [autoid] > 61103544AND  ([values] like '<N V="D%' or [values] like '<N V="VAS%')How can we achieve this in ODX so I can limit the amount of records retrieved from the source.Thanks in AdvanceHans

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
