Pre-script results in error

v20.10.36.64Hi,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 actionThe 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?

How to identify modified objects using TimeXtender repository

Hi , We have a need to identify the objects modified in last few days to deploy as part of differential deployment to various environments. To do this, we were looking at DiscoveryHub metadata database, which contains various tables like DataTables, DataColumns, Transformations etc.  However, to identify the delta, we have two columns ValidFrom and ValidTo which are stored as integers. We need a way to identify the data, either by converting these to dates or based on a range of dates. Please help

Reconnecting to a source getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error

Thanks in advance for any help.We had a dev deploy but not execute a table before he left for the day. Someone else loaded the table and when he closed the project, no one else could get in. Imported a day-old backup, was able to reload all of the tables. Started working on creating some new dimension and when tried to sync to the source system (Epic Clarity) SQL Server database, got the above error.

Can you protect your project from piracy?

I know you can lock a project from editing, but is there a way to password protect a project we install on a client's server so they can't view how we built it?  We've spent hundreds of hours building an ERP integration that we want to sell multiple times and don't want a client or competitor to simply rebuild it by exporting, or just looking at the project design and mimicking it.

Multiple environments, different load settings

I have a question about multi environments and transferring.   In addition to production, we have set up a development and test environment in TimeXtender with separate databases. This all works great. However, we want to work with a limited set of data in the development environment. We don't want to constantly have to wait for an execution in the development environment. We also do not want the test and development environment to fill up the hard disk too much. Now the question: is it possible to use a filter (for example load all data from last 30 days) in the development environment (in stead of incremental load) and to continue to use it incrementally load in the test and production environment? The filter should not overwrite the incremental setting during a transfer! So we want transferring data from different environments with different load settings.

How to create one central ODX fot both Test and Production environment

I have a separate Test and Production environment. Currently each environment has its own ODX database. But some cloud API source systems charge euros for loading records through an API connection. I’m therefor checking how I can limit the data transaction on the source systems. Also we only use production data in Pest and Production. Since we use Azure I don't want to load all the production data twice. One way is to use 1 shared ODX for both Test and Production. Then I only have to load the source data ones. I can think of the following options: 1. Use the ODX server I've tested the ODX server but I can't use historic tables and incremental loads don't work on most API connections. I also encountered limitations on a firebird SQL data source. So the ODX server doesn't seem like a workable solution 2. Use an external ODX business unit A external business unit works. But how can I use a single external ODX for both Test and Production as these environments run on different project repo

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.

Truncation SSIS error

Hi,We are trying to read a csv file and truncating some columns because our table would be too large otherwise. Unfortunately deploy and execute fails with this error:"Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "name" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page."."We are pretty sure it isn't an encoding problem because when we increase the column size ("Length") in "Edit multiple text files"->"Columns" we can read the data just fine so the error must occur because of the truncation.Does anybody know what options we have to use to let TimeXtender know that we are ok with the truncation of the data in the columns?Thanks,David

cube filtering

Just after some advice about whether something is possible.I have developed a data-warehouse that encompasses all products, However due to the nature of the business what I want to do is create two separate cubes, both that only report on a selection of the products, i am trying to avoid extra security roles in Targit which is used to browse the cubes or creating extra SQL tables which i believe would enable me to achieve the result but with more to manage.Is it possible to add a filter to a cube so that it only includes some dimension members?

Firewall settings

Hi,to configure the multiple environment setup I used the PDF (https://legacysupport.timextender.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001136526-How-to-configure-Multiple-Environments) , and everything works well when all the firewalls are turned off.We have opened port 10001 and 5001, but when the firewall is turned on, my DEV environment can't connect with the Production environment.My setup now is a Development server and a Production server.When I want to connect from Development to Production, I see the servers negotiating on port 10001 and 5001. But after that, they continue to work with a port in the 64xxx range (examples: 64135,64177,64281 etc) e.g. a random port.My firewall won't except this, and I would like to know if it is possible to work with a standard range / port so we can configure our firewall accordingly.Kind regards,Rogier
