I’ve got the following user request but I am not sure what the most optimal solution is, as i can think of many possibilities.I’ve got 2 Facts Tables:DSA.Fact_Turnover DSA.Fact_TransportOrdersBoth Facts contain the ‘Project’ column. The user request is to finally get the Turnover for all projects which are in Fact_TransportOrder. What is the most optimal way to get a check column to see if the Project value of Fact_TransportOrder is also present in Fact_Turnover and why? I want to use this filter column to eventually only present him the Turnover for projects which are also present in the Fact_TransportOrder.I’m really curious, as I already have such solutions, but am not sure if there are more easy TimeXtender functions or tricks which i’m not using currently.

I am curious why system fields like SCD is Current & SCD is TombStone are datatype bigint.  Is there a way to change them to tinyint? As far as I know they can only be 0 or 1. 

I am setting up a table relation where the tables join based on a date range (see screenshot below)In setting this up in TimeXtender, I noticed that I can only set this up on the lookup field and not as the default relation between the tables.Does anyone know of a way this can be setup on the default table relation? Or can we had as an enhancement for TX?(NOTE: I have edited the table names and columns for this post) 

In my DSA I have my Business Partner Master Data. I want to add a field that named Intercompany that shows ‘Intercompany’ when BP Group Code = 104 or 109 and else show Extern. BP Group Code has a smallint datatype. I added a custom field with the CASE WHEN statement. However, the extra field does not show the right results.When executing the CASE statements SMSS everything works fine, but when I implement it in my DSA, it does not work correctly.I tried all kinds of CASE statements with e.g. Like,OR statements, strings, however it does not show the desired result, but rather tons of nulls.The screenshot below shows the intercompany field with the Nulls and some tests CASE statements.   

Hi all,Too many parameters in nasa api data available year and month. I changed their name via RSD file because  and have only one table like below;  I have to change this columns in this dataset from this  station WS10_MAX201901 WS10_MAX201902 WS10_MAX201903 …..    WS10_MIN201901 WS10_MIN201902 WS10_MIN201903 …... to this station      MM.YYYY       WS_10_MAX         WS_10_MIN  How can I do it? I tried Custom Table Insert but doesnt work. I tried also Junk Dimension but I had to clone my dataset 12 time to be able to print  for example 12 months 2019 data consecutively.  

I'm following the steps explained on this page (https://legacysupport.timextender.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034695651-Connect-to-a-REST-API), but I can't figure out.  Situtation: I have to get for all station weather data from DW. An example for stationnummer 10184 like this:https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/app-prod-static.warnwetter.de/v16/forecast_mosmix_10184.json You can find the all station list here:  https://www.dwd.de/DE/leistungen/

Currently it’s not possible to create a job to concatenate the transfer task of data source (d365 f&o) to ODX and from this to DSA.I would need to get the age of the data in ODX to transfer that value to somewhere in DSAHow can I do this?

While running trials of TimeXtender it is fairly common to run against SQL Server Developer Edition. As SQL Server 2022 has been GA since last November, this is the version people will generally be installing.Finding 2019 is fairly hard. I have noticed that the 20.10.37 ODX Server is perfectly happy, but that TimeXtender 20.10.39 gave me an “Unsupported version of SQL” error, even with databases running in SQL 2019 compatibility level. Is this supposed to be the case?Azure SQL DB is 2022 under the hood, even if SELECT @@VERSION states something else.

I'm following the steps explained on this page https://support.timextender.com/data-sources-112/connect-to-excel-files-with-excel-online-628#Connect+with+the+Excel+Online+CData+provider, but I couldnt get it. I used Microsoft SharePoint Excel Provider.I have a 48 Excel file. I uploaded them to my company's onedrive. I then gave OAuth to Cdata. But I took this error. ‘You must specify an Excel file: Set the FILE property to an .xlsx file.’ The file url address where the excel files are located like this:https://companyname-my

I have a table with a table Insert from a view (actually multiple views) underneath it. The problem is that this table sometimes is empty because the Data Lineage is wrong. It seems that we need to have Object Dependencies for Table Inserts. 2 Questions about that:  When creating a "Table Insert" get a message that "Object Dependencies" are required? Is it enough to check the next child view (in my case) in the "Object Dependencies" if you have one table insert? Or should it be the first child table? Or should all underlying views/tables be included?

Dear all,Do any of you have a way of guarding Views in the data warehouse?I have some views which I for archiving purposes rather not delete, but this is giving me issues when I want to deploy the project as a whole.Thanks!

In my data source a new field [geregistreerd] is added.After synchronizing the data source and a transfer, the field is available in the ODX Go to the MDWSelect the mapping of the table  The field is not available in the Data Movement  Add a new field in the MDW tableAdd a transformationThe field is available in the Data Fields   Why is it not available in the Data Movement?

I have loaded a table with some initial data  (== initial stoock). The key is quiet simple  Company, Warehouse and ItemNow I want to update the amounts every day so that it reflects the actual stock level of data dayThe initial load was done from one source , the updates come from another sources History settings  have natural jkey set , and all non lookup fields are updsated  (type 1)Nevertheless the record is not updated Any idea ‘why’ the update is not working

Hi,It’s possible to create new schemas to set rules for access. Are there other reasons, beyond that, for creating new schemas?What are the pros and cons of extra schemas in a Data Areas in version 21 (6xxx)?All knowledge and experience in the field is gratefully receivedBRAnders

Hello,In order to be able to answer all related questions regarding GDPR, we are designing a TX solution that allows us to track all tables/columns that contains sensitive information. Most importantly, we make use of tags so we can track the columns throughout the DWH.An additional question we got is if it is possible to keep track of changes in the TimeXtender projects. In other words, who added which column (with sensitive data) to the project and when? What is the best way to keep track of these things and is there a solution in TimeXtender available that we can use to provide this information? Probably we should use the data in the TX Repository, we were curious if you have had this question before.

I’ve some tables in my data source without primary key, but I’ve a MODIFIEDDATETIME field for all the records, that it can be used to incremental load, but TX doesn’t allow it.Some workaround? 

What it’s the recomended setup in the new version to support multiple developers and multiple projects?How many ODX instances, MDW instances must we would use?

Hello,Current Setup: TimeXtender 20.10.31.64 and ODX 20.10.31.I need help setting up incremental load on a rather different type of data flow from the standard one, that has table inserts and views inbetween tables.The flow is as follows:Table A (has incremental load today) => View1 => TableB => Table C(MDW) once directly but also through View2.Both views are necessary so we cannot remove them.  My question is how to setup incremental load in timextender on this solution, if it is even possible. I am not sure how to do it through a view. Currently there is only an incremental load set up on Table A and then we fully load table B and C. Thank you

After attempting to add a new column to my history table, I cannot get the table deployed and executed anymore. The new column is currently not in the table, but I also can't get it to get back to "old" historical table back without the new column. Currently have tried the following things, but so far without result:Set the project version back to an earlier version where the change wasn’t made yet; Upgrarde the PROD SQL DB Size and deploy again.It does not get beyond the Valid Table structure when deploying the historical table. When previewing I also get the following error messages:The table you are trying to preview has not been deployed yet. Deploy first.Invalid column name 'SCD Type I Hash Key'.  

I have the following code y DSA:Select * from TableA union Select * from TableBunion Select * from Table CI want to replace this code with a table

Hi,We are receiving some weird error messages when executing our project, which uses Azure Data Factory to copy tables from our Data Lake storage to the Azure SQL db (ODX → DWH). The error can be found in the attachments. When inspecting the pipeline run on ADF, it seems to be missing the configured activities (see second attachment). When executing the table manually from TX, the pipeline runs succesfully. Also the pipeline seems correctly configured on ADF and the pipeline run that is created when executing the table manually shows the correct activities.Any ideas as to what might be causing this? Best regards,Kaj  

Can you explain how and for what it can be used?

Can you provide some documentation about this?How can I use it?For what it must be used? 

When you arte coping between instances, the destination insatance name doesn’t show complete. 

As you can see in the screenshot, I think that this situation must be controled:
