Using PowerBI Premium Tabular for TimeXtender Legacy instead of AAS

There's loads of documentation about AAS and PowerBI Premium tabular models being mostly identical in use. Currently we are using 2 expensive AAS servers to host our development and testing semantic models. Transferring these 2 environments to a PPU environment within PowerBI would save allot of money. Within the current version of TimeXtender there is a separate option to select a Premium Tabular model instead of AAS. This is something the legacy version does not have. But why would TimeXtender need to know the difference. In working with either Premium or AAS their XMLA connection is exactly the same. Setting a migration from AAS to Premium and then simply exchanging the links within the environment properties seems like a simple enough plan. As i found in the following link the important part would be having an updated library to do this data transfer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/analysis-services/client-libraries?view=azure-analysis-services-current Other than this i don't se

Legacy TX only available through Legacy support site?

Hi, Can we only download TX 20.10.x on the Legacy support page? https://legacysupport.timextender.com/hc/en-us I can't find it through the new Support.timextender.com site under Product updates, there I can just find the new SaaS solution. Thanks.

Error when deploying tabular model - "This row has been removed"

Hi all, When deploying our tabular model/endpoint (Azure Analysis Services), we get a strange error: "This row has been removed from a table and does not have any data. BeginEdit() will allow creation of new data in this row". In the error message we don't see which table or row this relates to and we don't know if this error relates to a datawarehouse table or a repository table. All our datawarehouse tables in this tabular model contain data and 'look good'. In addition, this error occurs in one of our environments and not in the other environments. Has anyone experience with this error? Any thought on how we can debug this one? Thanks.

Pre-script results in error

v20.10.36.64 Hi, I have set up a simple script action as follows to set the LAST_CHANGE_DATETIME column to the ENTRY_DATETIME value if it is NULL. Script action This works fine when selecting from the table in SSMS: SSMS results using same script action The script is set as a pre-script to the ADO.NET transfer on the execute step, but when I execute the table, the following error appears: Incorrect syntax near 'LAST_CHANGE_DATETIME'. Can I implement this simple script action as a pre-script? The idea is that I can then use a fully populated LAST_CHANGE_DATETIME column for incremental loads on my ledger table. Thanks, Richard

Data Export - From Business Unit

I have used the data export tool to export to .csv files. However I can not do it straight from the Business Unit. Is that a feature that can be added? Or maybe not included in client license. The client wants a few tables from source to be transfered to Azure Data Lake as a csv file and do some tranformation there.

I'm encountering a truncation error when synchronizing Dynamic AX Adapter data source in my Business Unit

We have an upgraded MS Dynamics 365 environment, from which we publish to an Azure SQL database. When I attempt to attach an existing project to it to synchronize data source (using a SQL data source connector as the project normally does) I can connect with a test connect, but then after building the selection tree, TimeXtender throws the error “The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type nvarchar of the specified target column. String or binary data would be truncated." Since it isn’t yet part of project execution but rather a TimeXtender comparison operation, I’m somewhat befuddled as to how to proceed. I’m not sure if this belongs in data sources or desktop, so took a guess on placement.

Schedule job stops executing

Once in a while my scheduled job does not finish without an error. It just stops doing anything. My event log states that around the time my job stopped running, both the server and the scheduler started. I do not find anything in the logs where it says the server and scheduler stopped running, so I have no idea why they restarted. Would the server/scheduler being down explain why the job stops running rather than failing and providing an error? Does anybody experience the same? Any ideas where I can find more information on why the server/scheduler stopped or restarted? And possibly how I can prevent this of course?

Does anyone have experience switching from ADO.NET to SSIS?

We would like to possibly switch from ADO.NET to SSIS. At the moment, both the TX application (ODX is not being used) and the SQL server are on the same box using ADO.NET. We want to split off TX to its own server and use SSIS instead of ADO.NET. Has anybody done this and can share the high level steps? Or even how you think it might be best accomplished? Specifically, once the application server is up and running with all the pertinent software, how would one make this transition?

TX Dictionary Tableau errors

Hello, I tried creating a new TX Dictionary project on our Tableau Server, but I'm running into some problems with opening the Tableau-file and replacing the data source. First of all, the stept to replace the datasource aren't up-to-date anymore with the new Tableau Desktop versions. In the new versions you have to open the new datasource before you can replace it. Not a big problem, just a mention so you can possibly change this. The problems come when I replaced the datasource. All sheets are empty and a few fields keep giving an error. The error states that the field doesn't exist in the database. I'll assume the missing fields are the reason for the empty sheets, as you can see here below: Can you help me with this problem? Kind regards,Damien van Kan

Executing SSIS package

We currently execute an SSIS package via Execute External SSIS Package. We want to start using SSIS environments to better manage dev/prod values and passwords. The problem with the Execute External SSIS Package is that we are not able to call the SSIS package using an SSIS Environment. To get around this, we created a Script Action that executes the SSIS package with an SSIS Environment, and then set this script action as a Post Script on a table that is executed in our Execution Package. The problem I am facing is that calling the SSIS package in this manor calls it asynchronously. Is there a way to synchronously call an SSIS package with an SSIS Environment?

Class not registered

Afternoon, I am getting this strange error when I run the Cubes on TimeExtender. There were patches that were applied to the server over the weekend where TX is running from. I am not sure if that could be the cause. Please find the attached Error screen.

Issue: after deploy project in development environment, Data missing on scheduled execution with no errors in production environment

Now every time when I deploy my project in environment development, I need to deploy this project in environment production too. Event I don't want transfer my development project to production. If not, When executing projects on a schedule, the execution finishes without error, but tables end up empty. I don't know because I changed version (version 20.10.2.64) or I have configured something wrong, in last year I didn't have this issue.

Data Dictionary

Did anyone have a data dictionary that has been pulled from timextender system database. The ideal one I am looking at is either a search option on a html where you can look for a table with all the columns, descriptions and data mapping(source). Or if anyone did similar one on an excel document will equally help me.
