Hi Support, Mount Anvil have a Incremental project to run the incremental load of the finance system data. Changing the incremental execution rule on a table called G/L Budget Entry from the 'Modified At' field to the 'Last Date Modified' field is preventing the execution from running. The 'Modified At' field is in a date\time format and the 'Last Date Modified' field is just a date only format that appears to be causing the execution failure. The error messages caused are below: Finished executing project 'Incremental' Execution Package 'Update Project' Execution failed Start Time : 24/01/2023 16:31:05 End Time : 24/01/2023 16:32:33 on server: MAV01APP01 -Execute Execution Package Update Project 'Failed' -Execute Business Units 'Failed' -Execute Business Unit Business Unit 'Failed' -'One or more errors occurred.' -Execute JetBCStage_I 'Failed' -'One or more errors occurred.' -Execute Table JetBCStage_I TEST.BC_G/L Entry (17) 'Successful' -Execute Table JetBCStage_I TEST.RowCountGL 'Su
Hi I’m having problems executing a table from a Cdata source Sharepoint list that has exceeded 5000 rows. Do you have any tips for resolving this issue? Best regardsFrederik
Hi,I have the following setup in my Dev/Prod environments:ODX Shared, all on my live environment DSA / MDW separate for each environmentA daily refresh starts with ODX and on success moves to DSA. So far so good.On the ODX step, there's a Usage condition for Environment (project variable) = ‘Prod’.I added this because I don't want to start 2 refreshes of the same ODX from both Prod&Dev.However, the Dev environment goes straight into the DSA refresh because the ODX ‘starts’ and finishes instantly. Meaning the DSA only gets a few thousand rows from the still-refreshing ODX (largest table has 2000 rows where I'd expect 2million+).Is my assumption correct in using the Usage condition? How can I use the same Execution packages for Dev/Prod while still using the same ODX ?Thanks for any help!
When adding a job I see a checkbox 'Hide objects that can't be added’. After I uncheck this checkbox I see that my execution schedules for both the data warehouse and the semantic layer can't be added to the job. Could you please tell me what might be causing this?And in general I'd like to know when an object can't be added to a job.
It would be great if in the Multi Environment Transfer Step it would be possible to refresh the Data source as well.Currently I have to add new tables in Dev en Prod environment on a weekly basis (chaning ERP systems).It happens that a table is added in Dev, but that table is not yet avialable in Prod. So when I transfer the project and deploy I do not get a warning that the table does not exists. So after deployment, the schedule will run in morning and it will fail on the missing table.Only after a refresh of the Data source the project recognises the missing table and gives a warning. Now I have to in Dev transfer project and deploy to Prod and then open the Prod environment itself to refresh data source in order to check if all tables are available or not.
I’ve a job like this:The Job’s schedule it’s: When the job finishes the execution log it’s wrong, there’re several tasks, but no one with schedule start type and without details:
Hi, When executing and deploying a project it does every single table and change, not just the changes I have made since the last deployment. In other projects, it only deploys the selected tables or changes made. But in our biggest project (deployment takes roughly 15 minutes each time) it does all or nothing.Even when in a perspective it still does every other table that exists in the entire project.Other projects don't do this and I can't seem to find the setting that changes this for the big project. Does anyone know how to set this up?Thanks!
The services of 6117.1 worked fine, but after upgrading to 6143.1, I'm not able to start the TimeXtender Execution service. Receive the error:Windows could not start the TimeXtender Execution 6143.1 service on Local ComputerError 1064: An execption occured in the service when handling the control request.In the Event log not more info then the error above.Anyone an idea what is causing this and how to solve this?
Hi all,I've recently implemented Incremental load. Pretty great.I have also built an Execution Package to run each week, where I have added all Incremental tables to the Full load tab.The Execution package sends me a Notification on Success.Both the email, as the Execution History show that the package takes 0 seconds to run. It does run and fires the notification, but nothing actually happens.I would also expect DW_TimeStamp in all Incremental tables to be equal (or at minimum, last run time of Full load).How can I troubleshoot this?Thanks!
Hi, Currently we have execution packages set to retry upon failure, this is set as Retries = 5 , Retries per step = 3Occasionally we encounter a failure, however it seems we can then only access the logs for the most recent fail, is there a way to get the logs for all of the failures?Similarly, is there a way so get logs of a failed execution step when the full execution package succeeded after a retry?
Would be great if within TX (or via external script) you could trigger Data Source transfer tasks as an initial Step within an Execution Package (or batch), so that once the transfer of new data is complete, the execution package runs the next dependant step? This way, if the transfer task from the data source to the DL takes longer (more data than expected) then the execution package won't run until it completes. There seems to be no method currently to trigger a transfer load within the execution packages - and therefore no way to make the two different scheduling tools (it's really that) align with each other intelligently.
When creating / editing an external executable I receive an error message when trying to select an SSIS package. The list of available packages won't open. In stead I get the following error message:What do I do wrong?Not sure if this is of importance but under Tools > Options > Custom editors I have referenced my version of Visual Studio.
The Execution Server Configuration tool shows “Currently assinged instances” instead of “Currently assigned instances”.
After trying to import data from a REST source in the ODX I got an SQL Exception with error code 4815.After a bit of Google I ended up on this page, telling me that it had something to do with SQLBulk copy not able to match the columns in source and destination or the value of a column was larger than in the destination allowed (e.g. string with length of 200 -> nvarchar(100)).Because TimeXtender defines the columns it probably didn't have something to do with that.Because the RSD I created didn't have a column size specified, all my string type field allowed 2000 chars. Thinking that none of the string fields were going to be larger, I started changing int to double and after that all the fields to string and later even to text. None of this worked which send me back to start. After properly examining the parquet file I found 1 record that had a text field that exceeded the 2000 char limit.The next time I get this error I will do the following steps:1. Examine data type of API (Ope
Hi, I'd love to get your thoughts on issue we're dealing in the past few days. We've noticed that transfer time from ODX to DSA is growing rapidly. This as significant impact on total running time of DWH and SLA towards our clientExecution log of DSA As you can see. as insert and cleansing tasks remains pretty much the same, transfer time is growing.In terms of volume, data hasn't grown significantly Batch Id 13428 (first) - 46347863 rowsBatch Id 13481 (last) 46536187 rows (+0.4%)difference in transfer time is more apparent as you zoom in into the package execution (Gantt chart)Batch Id 13428 vs last batch (13481)There is no inconsistencies in ODX que or ODX service logs found. I've also checked it there is long running transactions (sp_who2) in both TX and DWH server but could find anything out of the ordinary Our setup consists of ODX repository and DWH storage on same Azure Managed Instance. TX application server is (still) on-prem My burning question is: what can attribute th
Hi, I am a bit unclear on how to configure Max Threads for an execution package. The way I perceive it now is: if I run on 4 cores, I choose 4 Max Threads, if I run on 16 cores, I choose 16 Max Threads. i.e. N Cores -> N Max Threads. Is this the correct approach or are there other factors that need to be accounted for?
When we perform a transfer from the acceptance environment to the production environment, there are settings that you do not want to take with you. First the time schedule. We have an Execution package for both acceptance and production. These should run at different times. Secondly, the acceptance environment naturally refers to other TimeXtender databases than the production environment. Nevertheless, the database links are taken literally after the transfer. Third, when you accept a change in acceptance, you transfer to production. However, when you have executed these, the sources are literally copied from the acceptance. We have circumvented the latter by allowing acceptance to refer to production, but this is not always desirable. Fourth, it would be nice to be able to include project perspectives during the transfer. It would be nice if you could set the above points as settings to transfer.
Never had this before ...Trying to execute just the object I am working on..It auto selects the whole project ...where to change that setting...Very strange...20.10.25.64
When I do 1 on the exercise, I get a pop-up information message "No constraint suggestions are available" Right click DSA node and choose Automate -> Add Suggested Constraints Don't know how to resolve this?
Hi, we are receiving a file where the order of the rows is important information that needs to be maintained for our transformation process. When TimeXtender loads a text file, are the rows loaded in order? (I.e. will the DW_Id in the Business Unit table act as row numbers of the source table). Thanks, Mark
We would like to be able to set specific schedules for our different environments. For example som execution packages could run on schedule in our QA environment during testing. And the TXDictionary should run on schedule in all environments.
Hi, I tried to execute a transfer task on my data source however I encountered the following error: The execution failed with error:System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Property cannot be updated or deleted.

I have a package with an active schedule and now and then the package is, for some unknown reason, not executed. Scheduler Service was running at the time of the preferred execution time. How do I resolve the cause of this issue?
