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

when to use single quotes in Project Variables

what is the right scenario for using single quotes to wrap project variables?  Let's say i have a data constraint added to a field and i am using a dynamic project variable like, soin this scenario, i am comparing a data to another date, and i have the variable encased in single quotes.I always assumed the single quotes was how Discovery Hub "renders" the underlying variable, but i recently found that my assumption was untrue. is the single quotes only to be used when evaluating a character string? or are there some rules to apply wrapping in single quotes. Note: the variable above is a dynamic -> select max({datefield}) from {table} statement, under the covers.

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.

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?

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

Import SQL Stored-procedures/ function into ODX

Hi, In my scenario, I rely on a stored-procedure in the source (external) database to create the table which will be used in TX. The stored-procedure might have various table/view/functions dependencies. Is it possible to import stored procedure/scalar functions into ODX layer? I know it's possible to recreate (internal) stored-procedure, however I have no access to the underline script in the stored-procedureKind regards.Dror
