User defined functions is not deployed

When I recently moved our production environment to a new server and was working on deploying the entire data warehouse in TimeXtender I had some difficulties. First I did a complete (full?) and managed deploy which seemed to be successful. When I then tried to run a few execution packages one of them said it was missing a view. Then I did a differential managed deploy and it listed a lot of objects not already deployed!! OK, so I ran that which seemed to succeed as well. Tried the execution package that failed again but with the same result. Third time I did a differential deploy but this time after the deploy was done I noticed that the scrollbar in the results dialog was not all the way up! There at the top an error message was hiding. I had guard on deploy on some tables which was highlighted and hence covering up the error message. The actual error was that a view was not able to deploy because of a user defined function was missing. This UDF is defined in TimeXtender so why does

TimeXtender 20.10.15.64 Performance

Good Morning, We have recently upgraded TimeXtender to version 20.10.15.64. Both in QA and PROD servers. We have TX ETL jobs that extract data from Oracle database server to both server every night. They run at different times. However, the PROD ETL job takes longer to extract data. QA ETL job takes quicker. 1. QA TX on average takes 3hours to extract data from PROD oracle. 2. PROD TX on average takes 5 hours or more to extract the same information from PROD Oracle. Sometimes this take longer than this. 3.PROD TX sometimes hangs the whole night. 4. PROD TX has higher specs than QA. 5. We have checked the Performance Indicators  on PROD server while PROD TX is running. The CPU, Memory and other indicators seems well. 6. We trying to figure out why performance on PROD is slow during the data extraction from Oracle. We have checked all necessary indicators to and we still don't have answers. Is there anything that you can advice us to check so we can understand why PROD is slower than QA

Full load doesn't update the _I table?

Hi!Can you clearify that if I run a full load ( on a source based incremental table), it doesn't update the _I table with the current max value? In our scenario, I run a full load very early in the morning and then run incremental loads during the day. But I have seen that the first incremental load of the day takes a very long time to run which I suspect is due to there being a lot of changes since the last incremental load, i.e. the full load's transfer is ignored by the incremental load?So the first incremental load, more or less, transfers the same data that the full load did?Version 19.11.7.64RegardsNiclas

Logging around setting "when transfer fails".

We started to use the configuration continue without data in case a transfer fails. The feature works fine, and we also see the message that one or more datasources fail. My question is, how can we easily see which datasources failed, and with what error message?

Notification Execution Packages - Send mails using Google Mail

Hello, Which settings are needed in order to get Google Mail send success and failure emails in TimeXtender?  I tried it with  Servername: smtp.gmail.com Port: 25/465/587 Enable SSL/TLS: Checked Allow invalid certificates: Checked From Email: my.name@gmail.com User name: my.name@gmail.com Password: <my gmail password> To Email: another.email@gmail.com   I get different failure responses:  25: 5.7.0 Authentification required 465: Syntax error, command not recognized 587: 5.7.0 Authentification required   Without SSL/TLS I get: A secure connection is required for the smtp server or the client is not authentificated. Server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first.   The responses are translated from german to english so please don't take them literally.   What are the corrected settings here? Is it something in my google account?

Setting a flag when execution is done

Hi, We use TX as a part of our value chain of systems using data. We need to programatically be able to check if the execution is done, so the following jobs can start.I know TX can send an email when completed, but we really do not want to build the check on emails. Does anyone have a good idea on how to do this? Hope you can help. Best regards Michael Vaisgaard

TX- Oracle connector issue

The TX oracle connector drops and creates the complete table during export. Is there a way that we can control this behaviour and the table be not dropped ? This is because we need to move data from Staging Orcle to Main tables based on Triggers and if the table is dropped by TX then the trigger is of no use.

Pass project parameters at run time

Can you pass project variable values at run time via the command line? We need to trigger the package and pass on user defined variable values that has been used in the package creation. Like a date that a user can pass whenever he intends to run a package.

Trying to Understand Incremental Performance

So based on what I'm reading about TX, it seems to me that even if only say 5 records changed on a source file, TX loads the entire source table into a Raw table (all 40 gigs of it) and then finds the 5 records.Is there a way to get it to just pull the 5 changed records into TX?  My incremental executions seem to take about 50% of the time of a full execution even though there is little to no data change.

Manually reloading recent data

Just for anybody interested: I just found out that you just update the _I table to some older values, to reload all data greater than the value you set. Previously, I always reloaded the full table in these cases. This is not necessary and saves me some time from now on.

Incremental Load not Delivering Data

Hello,I have the following setup for an incrementally loaded table:I would expect, that it loads all rows, with either an id greater than max id - 1000 or datum_post greater than max datum_post - one week.In fact, when I execute the query, it is not returning any rows. This is interesting, because removing the datum_post condition returns rows.Other tables with such a double condition (id + date) also work. I am wondering, whether it is necessary to have an index on datum_post in the source table? The queries can take quite a while on the datum_post field. The example query takes 2 minutes on the source database, but TimeXtender finishes after 30 seconds. TimeXtender says it is finished with "Success", but there are no rows.Also the following query yields results when querying the source database directly: I think this is the equivalent query to what TimeXtender should load.I am using Discovery Hub 19.6.7.64 and the source database is using (an old) mysql version: I am connecting with

Execution blocking access to cubes

Hello, Since a couple of days I created a second execution package to execute +- 10 tables, some dimension and 1 cube. After this execution the other cubes are not reachable, I need to deploy and execute them all to get it solved. Any clue why an execution pack would block access ? Thanks, Ronny

Change data management or incremental loading with changing data

Hi,I have a source table in Navision which contains inventory data. The data is sometimes changed back in time due to miscellaneous reasons. I have so far handled this with change tracking in Sql Server and then I do a merge statement that either inserts new data or does an update on older data already in the fact table.So my question is how could I handle this in TX and do a incremental load?Regards Birkir

Changing environment properties

Hi all I recently changed the environment properties of the development environment to have the AX data source point to the live environment instead of the test environment. I hoped that executing (without deploying) the staging area would refill all staging tables with live data instead of test data (all full loads, no incrementals), but it didn't. In fact, what needs to be done, is deploying by manually marking all tables to be redeployed in the deployment screen, as nothing has changed according to TimeXtender. Is it possible to make the SSIS package connections dynamically looking at the environment properties (this way an execute would suffice)? Or mark the staging tables to be redeployed? TimeXtender version 16.8.1.64; project is using SSIS. Thanks!
