Hello, we have upgraded to 20.10.74 TimeXtender with 20.10.73 ODX server from older version. Since ODX server is getting removed in the future and CData connectors have their distribution stopped, i am looking to migrate the existing connectors to future supported ones and  switching from using ODX server to using Business Unit.

 

Could you advice me which connectors i should start using instead of the following ones?:

  • CData ADO.NET Provider for Microsoft Excel Online 2024;
  • CData ADO.NET Provider for Databricks 2024;
  • CData ADO.NET Provider for SAP HANA 2023;
  • CData ADO.NET Provider for REST 2023

I does not look that there are direct alternatives to these, at least in current TX version. Are there also any guides of migrating these specific ones to new alternatives?

 

Thank you

Hi, an overview of alternatives is listed in this post TimeXtender Enhanced Data Source Providers to Replace CData Providers | Community.  Hopefully this helps.

Hi ​@gediminas.juskenas 

We have added the enhanced data sources. There is a Excel provider and a general REST provider. We also have a OData provider which is similar to the REST provider except for an option to add a metadata discovery URL that is used to find and select many endpoints at once.

Never mind, see above
