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: 

v20.10.36.64Hi,I have a project that is loading data from the ledger table into the staging database with approx, 5m records.When manually executing the load, the ADO.NET transfer is taking 5-6 minutes, but the cleansing rules can take hours, to the point I have to terminate the load.Is there any troubleshooting I can perform on the cleansing steps? I know I have taken the easy option on joins where the data types differ, and wonder if that is now compounding the issue?Any tips or pointers greatly appreciated.Thanks,Richard

Hi,I would like to do a “range lookup”. Because I can't solve it using a conditional lookup, I used a custom field transformation. My code looks like this:CASE    WHEN substring([SBIcode_cleansed], 1, 1) like '[^0-9]' THEN                    (SELECT [kvk_groep_omschrijving]                     FROM  [dsa].[SBIcode_groepering]                             where [SBIcode] = [SBIcode_cleansed]                   ) --'test1'   ELSE                   (SELECT [kvk_groep_omschrijving]                     FROM  [dsa].[SBIcode_groepering]                            where substring([SBIcode_cleansed], 1, 2) >= [min_sbi_code]                              and substring([SBIcode_cleansed], 1, 2) <= [max_sbi_code]                   )--'test2'   END It seems that a subquery is not possible because I get an error message that more than one value is retrieved using the subquery but that is no

If you add a new field with the deploy only option, to an existing table with data, there are two diferent behaviors, depending if the table has incremental rule defined or not.This is controled by this setting: By default it’s cleared for “normal” tables and setted to incremental tables.I think the behavior should always be the same or at least get a warning message

I’ve detected that if you have the same table in DSA and MDW. let say DSA.Invoices and MDW.Invoices for example, and you define partition for that, both tables share the same partition schemas and partition functions in the SQL Server database.It’s a problem when you try to add or remove field from whatever table.

I discovered that when using the replace transformation with the CharType that you are required to know or look up the int value of the character you want to replace and use that as the parameter.This does not seem to be documented anywhere or be useful in any way I can think of. I assume REPLACE('abc’, char(65), 'b’) is functionally equivalent to REPLACE('abc’, 'a’, 'b’). In a Case Insensitive collation there is no difference between the two anyhow.There is also no COLLATION or binary type support, which are things that you can do with REPLACE() that might actually be useful in certain rare cases. 

I’ve a query table created to my D365 F&O data source like you can see in this screenshot: The query returns data as you can see in the query tool (it would be nice to be able to run it in the “Manage Query Tables” window too): But, If try to Synchronize ODX Objects: I get an error and there is not the table if I try to remap it:  And when I deploy and execute

Greetings,I have an odd error and trying to eliminate where this issue is coming from.I have a server running SQL server 2016 and TX is running on top of that. The version of TX I am running is 20.10.15.64 in Server 1.The errors I am getting are attached. TX is running ok in Server 1 which is DB server.There is Analysis Server 2 which seems to be an issue and is creating the errors above.The attached error is coming from PowerBI Report Server interface. We are using Microsoft PowerBI tool for our reports. I have increased memory allocation in Server 1 where TX is running and issue seems to still be there.Our products are all 64bit version.Any Idea or view of what could be causing this.  

Hi, Is it possible to add object security rules on a _R table from within TimeXtender?  Thx! 

I would like to share with you this diagram that shows the architecture of our data platform with TX.Perhaps it will be another recomended architectures and I would like to know it and start a discussion about this topic.  

When I remove a MDW-table from the project it remains available in the MDW-database.How do I completely remove the table so I can start over (create a new table using the old name)

We are implementing a data warehouse with data from Dynamics 365 F&O and I’m thinking that we will have money data from UK in pounds and from Spain in euros and we will need currency conversion (based on time) to resolve this situation.Some body has considered this situation?How must it be implemented? 

If i try to add a dataselection rule my tables stay empty.Tried allready the selection rule on the table and with an without ‘ ‘ If i do the same in the query tool it looks good. Is it a bug?Using version 6143.1

After manually executing a package, where do I find a log that shows the # of rows processed per table?  I'm trying to verify my incremental loads are working properly

The following article describes several types of data masking: https://legacysupport.timextender.com/hc/en-us/articles/5463363539101-Dynamic-Data-Masking .Does TimeXtender allow custom data masking as well? The example table shown at the top of this article is exactly what I am trying to accomplish. However, the article doesn't describe this type of masking, does it?  

I have a transaction table in odx with the following fields (simplified)Key,Value, transactiondate Example100, V100, 2023-01-01100, V100A,2023-01-31 09100, V100B,2023-01-31 10 Each day there are multiple transactions added , of course with  another transaction date.Note in the example I  have only shown the date part (not hours, minutes, seconds) What I need is a table with the latest update in DSAI created the same table. Set primary key to KEY and added an incremental selection rule on transactiondate . Added history settings to update the Value and transaction date based on the keyWhere it goes wrong is if we get in one day multiple transactions 100, V100A,2023-01-31 09100, V100B,2023-01-31 10I traced down the cleansing procedure and Tx detects that there are twice the same key. So far so good.Next it puts the ID of  the latest transcation into <table>_L  and only process

Dear Community,I like to build my data estates with supernatural keys but in lager datasets the data cleansing starts to take very, very long. Do you happen to have the same issues? Is there a way to make the supernatural keys load faster? Even with incremental loading it begins to be super slow:I've ran a test on 435,397 records. This is on a Azure SQL with 10 vCores1. is a full load on the table with 7 supernatural keys.2. is a full load on the same table without the supernatural keys.1 has data cleansing of 1 second. 2 has a data cleansing of 104 seconds!Second I've done a test on the same tables but now incremental loads:1. incremental load with 7 supernatural keys2. incremental load without supernatural keys1 has a data cleansing time 1,6 seconds and 2 a data cleansing
