Today, we’ve published a new release of TimeXtender (v. 6744.1) that contains the changes listed below.
 

New

  • Product renaming:
    TimeXtender desktop is now known as TimeXtender Data Integration (TDI)
    TimeXtender ODX service is now known as TimeXtender Ingest Service (TIS)

    ODX is now known as Ingest.
    MDW is now known as Prepare.
    SSL is now known as Deliver.
  • String aggregation as an option for aggregation tables. The output will be separated by a comma and will be ordered by the content of the column
  • Added persist view functionality, which will persist a view as a table.
  • Introduced a filter for available data providers to improve data source selection.
  • Added a feature that allows users to clone instances for more efficient management.
  • Added hidden fields support in data source connection forms.
  • In the Execution Service Configuration tool it's now possible to set up how many parallel executions of Deliver instances should be possible at a time. Default is set to 1.

Improved

  • The TimeXtender database cleanup tool can now run without the need of a data area to exist.
  • The solution explorer in TDI client will now remember if a node is collapsed when refreshing the solution tree 
  • Changed the error message for opening incompatible instances.
  • Environments page renamed to 'Migrations' page at /migrations and all non-transfer related functionality removed.
  • The Instances page has been merged with the Environments page, now accessible at /instances, featuring drag-and-drop functionality for moving instances between environments.

  • Improved the loading speed of the organization table.

Fixed

  • Double clicking a view field in data lineage would not select the view field node 
  • Shutting down TDI (TimeXtender client) with step in the execution queue would ask you if you wish to exit, but exit would happen if you clicked No instead of Yes
  • Resizing the column width in the TIS (ODX) incremental load dialog was disabled
  • Dragging a table node from the semantic source database browser to the semantic tables node did not work
  • Dragging a field node from the semantic source database browser to a semantic table node did not work
  • The context menu for editing an environment was shown on the default environment in the TDI (TimeXtender client)
  • The buttons for showing schemas on the TIS (ODX) ADO and OLE.DB data source advanced settings were hidden.
  • Null reference error when validating Deliver (SSL) Qlik endpoint of the type Qlik View while using Snowflake as the source Prepare instance (MDW)
  • Wrong label for the table distribution setting for Dedicated SQL Pool
  • Synchronizing the Prepare instance (MDW) with an Ingest instance (ODX) would show tables as missing when the data source had "data on demand" enabled and no execution tasks were added on the data source
  • Searching for tables for the mapping sets in the Prepare instance (MDW) would not find tables where the data source had "data on demand" enabled and no execution tasks were added on the data source
  • Listing constraint suggestions on the Prepare instance (MDW) would not find tables where the data source had "data on demand" enabled and no execution tasks were added on the data source
  • Adding new view fields to a standard view was blocked after selecting a field in the overview pane
  • Some Ingest instance (ODX) execution logs sometimes went missing due to a timing issue in the Ingest instance (ODX) execution logic
  • Potential null reference error when two users concurrently committed a change on an Ingest instance (ODX) data source or Ingest instance (ODX) task 
  • Some Semantic dialogs could only resize horizontally
  • Tabular Security DAX was incorrect when having more than one setup
  • Moving Ingest instance (ODX) data type override rules up and down sometimes caused an index out of bounds exception
  • A circular reference in data lineage with history tables caused the data lineage to run forever. 
  • Label in warning and error reports dialogs shows database instead of data area
  • When adding a private data source (ADO.NET) an error saying assembly file was not found was thrown
  • When right-clicking on a table with a mapping type of the Integration Table, the client sometimes crashed.
  • Updated the layout of the Deliver Instance (SSL) Role Dialog 
  • Fixed an issue where the TIS (ODX service) would get stuck in 'Starting' state if the authentication token could not be renewed.
  • Addressed alignment issues with dropdowns and the search icon in multi select filters.
  • Corrected the incorrect tooltip displayed for the delete instance button.
  • Resolved an issue where the hand cursor appeared on mouse over an instance in the Environment page, but clicking did not trigger any action.
  • Fixed an issue where it was not possible to save a prepare (MDW) instance after previously experiencing an error.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the customer table to not refresh after deleting a customer.
  • Resolve an issue that made it impossible to delete some data source connections because of hidden double spaces in the name.
  • Fixed an issue where important setup properties were accidentally overwritten during updates, and ensured that the connection string is securely encrypted when edited.
