Hello,I have a history enabled table with a lookup field. The lookup field is marked as type I (update record). However, the record is only updated with the new values in the table from which the lookup field is retrieved, if the record is available in the raw variant of the history table. If the record has been updated in the mean time, the lookup field is never triggered to be updated.Is there a way to have the lookup fields be updated in a history enable table without the record being present in the raw table?I have currently created a work around by not truncating the raw table, but this causes an unnecessary increase in the size of the raw table and produces many primary key violation errors.Looking forward to your answer!

I need to make a field transformation such that if the field value starts with “DOK”, then I want to replace the value with “1001”. I tried to set up this custom field transformation using something along the lines of CASE WHEN …, but didn’t manage to get this to work. How would I write this code in TX?

We have a historic table and we use Dw_id as an unique indentifier. But when we update the record the DW_Id will stay the same, so we have duplicate values in the table on that field then. the original DW_id field is changing but the transformantion field isn’t.  Because we work with custom data aswell that we want to have there own value we work with the custom transformation. I will  provide some screens from the issue:   Can you provide me a way so the field eenheidssleutel will be unique over time and is equal to the DW

Anyone know in what TX repo table I can find the field and value for “Guard on deployement” and “Guard on execution?I know where the setting is in the UI, but need to look up the value in the repo db.

Hi can you add a diagram or something like that to understand when and where that scripts are executed? 

v20.10.35.64A while ago I was looking for a solution on how to conditionally fill down/flash fill values with certain criteria. Unfortunately the answers in this ticket didn't do the trick for me, as I kept getting NULL values with all solutions I've tried. How can I conditionally fill down/flash fill NULL values with previous values based on certain criteria? | Community (timextender.com)Now I seem to get it working with a Self Lookup view and a Lookup Field (Top first-non value). However, I have to repeat this process for almost 10 columns. The loading of this table went from 06:00 to 30:00 minutes. The lookup field looks as follows. What it does is:Look if column Route Bron is empty, If Route Bron is not empty, just show Route Bron.

In fact tables we are using subrogate keys from the dimension tables using supernatural keys.The relationship between the fact table and the dimension table it’s using the bussines key and getting the subrogate key from the dimension table into fact table. But some times it doesn’t exists, and I’m using -1 to put that value.What it’s the best way to include the unknow member (-1) in the dimension table?

Hi community,A customer is using a specific role that is allowed to select data from specific views in SQL. When one of these views are deployed, the Object Security Setup  isn't deployed. The Database Role/Security Settings needs to be redeployed manually.Is it possible to automatically deploy the Object Security Setup, if the a view/table is deployed that is using security settings?  

I see this advanced menu option in all the tables but I don’t know how can it be used. 

Hi,I am working on a column that evaluates a date against GetDate() and returns a 1 or 0. The table can be loaded incrementally. I assumed that if I turned on "Keep field values up-to-date", this column would always be recalculated at loadtime, but it seems that this is not true.Is there a way to make these two work together or do I have to give up on incremental loading?Thanks

Hey,I face this issue quite frequently and have not found out how to solve it yet so I’m hoping someone on here can tell me how to do this.I have a REST data source in which I make a selection of columns. I drag that table into the DSA layer, rename some columns and voila, I have my table. Now I found out that I need some additional columns from the data source so I go into my ODX and in the table selection I include those columns as well. The transfer is succesful and I have my data with additional columns. Now here comes my problem.I want to sync my table with the data source and add those additional columns to my existing table. When I right-click-drag the table into the DSA layer I can sync, smart sync and sync only with existing fields. The first options adds all columns to the bottom of my table (including the ones I already have). The other two options only sync the columns that I already have…Hope that someone can help me out as I face this more o

Hi TX Community!I get data from an external-database everyday.Since we have an aim of incremental-loading the data that we extract, we are doing some query-tables from the datasource to create a “incremental-load”-key.In that matter we are experiencing two issues:1- TX cannot read the date-formats that are extracted from the database. This is the format that we get out: Of course, we can right-click on the field and edit the datatype, but that we would have to do everytime we syncronize the datasource because everytime we syncronize the datasource all the date-fields are back to the “unknown”-format and therefore we would have to right-click on each field and edit the data-type. We’ve tried to use the “Data type overrides” but it doesnt seem that we can convert from an “unknown

Hi Friends, I contact you because I have to migrate a Dim Table with SCD 2 from the Old SQL DW to TX and after that set the TX Dim to the following working, Is there any process to do that? Thanks  for your help Ignacio

HelloI currently have a column with the following file name in one of my tables. C:\Users\John\OneDrive - Sales Solutions\Desktop\TimeXtender\TMX-DataSamples\RLZ\BESTERS - BESTERS POINT - BESTERS IND_DEC 22_101602_0.txtIs there a way to remove the path name in the column to only have the file name?I have a file for each month and have merged the files so all the data is in one table. For example, remove this piece: C:\Users\John\OneDrive - Sales Solutions\Desktop\TimeXtender\TMX-DataSamples\RLZ\and only show this piece:BESTERS - BESTERS POINT - BESTERS IND_DEC 22 as the file name.I also need to have the Month Year (DEC 22) of each file copied into a new column called “Date”. Is this at all possible?Thank you

Hi,I can’t find a way to update my table with the new field [Color] that has been added to the view the table insert is based on. Any suggestions?BRAnders

On clean procedures generated by TX, they seem to have a RECOMPILE embedded into the procedure itself as a general rule. I think this is to keep them fresh to other changes in a project that get introduced. But do we know the exact reason why, and is there a way to remove other that doing a customized change table by table? 

Dear Support,The reload in TimeXtender is giving the error: An item with the same key has already been added.It seems to be that one column is mapped on two different columns in the same table.Is there a quick solution to find the column which is causing this error? Thanks in advance! Christian 

I have 3 tables in my src data warehouse:src.SalesOrderItemsDelta, this table gets filled every day with a delta (changes today vs yesterday) of our order lines. Via    src.SalesOrderItems, this table gets filled every Saturday night with all the order lines available.   src.preFactSalesOrderItems, this table gets filled via a custom table insert with the following table insert:

I would like to be able to flash fill down NULL values in my DSA table with certain conditions.In the table below I have multiple NULL values. Take for example the column ‘CardCode DUAL’.Row 2 with Company key MTW and project 1201121979 shows for CardCode DUAL DB0006. I would like to show value DB0006 also for all other rows where company key = MTW and project = 1201121969.Same for Route Bron column. I would like to fill down NULL values on the most recent NON Blank value for that Company_Key+Project combination.I think it should be possible with a self join or self select, but not sure how.   

Hi community,we are facing the problem, that we create duplicates when we bring data from an ODX API source to the MDW. We are working with an overlapping sliding window of two days in the schema file (because data can change and there is no last modified date) and only set the primary key on the ODX source.In the MDW (dedicated SQL pool) we enabled the history and set the ID as natural key. All fields are marked as type 1 fields.The execution brings us duplicated ID values - no updates are madeThanks for your helpMichael

We are using Business unit to land our data in the DW. We have a few columns where we need to obfuscate some of the data.At what point should a script action be placed to update the field in the raw table prior to the data being moved into the valid table, so our script does not need to include an update to the field in both the raw and valid table. the script uses UPDATE table SET column

Hello,We have a data source that contains several additional/stacked connections in our Business Unit. We now wanted to add the 4th additional connection (so in total 5 data connections), but TimeXtender crashes when clicking on OK after configuring the connection.

Found this in the Event Viewer:  The errors are as follows:.NET = System.OutOfMemoryExceptoiin Application Error =  Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\TimeXtender\TimeXtender 20.10.38.64\timeXtender.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\KERNELBASE.dll Application Error = same as 2.)We are on version 20.10.38, do you have any idea what might be causing this?
