Jobs & Executions

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 (O

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 client Execution 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 rows Batch 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. Property 'OwnerId' does not exist for 'object specified'. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection, Action`1 wrapCloseInAction) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj, Boolean callerHasConnectionLock, Boolean asyncClose) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.TryRun(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj, Boolean& dataReady) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteNonQueryTds(String methodName, Boolean async, Int32 timeout, Boolean asyncWrite) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(TaskCompletionSource`1 completion, String methodName, Boole

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?

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

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 o

I'm making a TimeXtender Dictionary using Azure (Azure SQL DB's & Azure Analysis Services). When deploying & executing the project I got an error for the StepExecutionTime table: Invalid object name 'MDW_etl.StepExecutionTime_I'.

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 19.11.7.64 Regards Niclas

I have enabled simple mode on a project with 1 data source and 1 Business Unit. I have also updated the settings for all tables to support simple mode: When i try to deploy the project i get the error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.BatchParser.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found. Location: Business Unit 'ABC'. Details: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.BatchParser.dll' or one of its dependencies.

Hi, I need more information on how i can do continuous integration in discovery hub.

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?

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?

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

Hi, I am trying to find out how i can schedule deployment from development server to integration server at a particular time on everyday. So, whatever changes I am making in the development will be deployed automatically to integration server. Please let me know in case any one has idea regarding the same. For clarification please ask.

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.

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.
