Solved

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

How do I tell TimeXtender to use a clustered columnstore index for my fact table in Azure Synapse?

We are trying to get a csv file of 10 gb into TimeXtender but it takes very long for TimeXtender to get this loaded and sometimes we are getting an error (system out of memory). Is there a solution or something else we can try to get big csv files into TimeXtener or can we change the CSV file to get it loaded into TimeXtender? We are now using the Cdata adapter and already used the multiple/single file adapter. Thanks for the response!

How does "Table classification" in Table Settings affect a table ?Can't find any information in the user guide or google. For which cases "Dimension- /Fact Table (normal + large) are use full ? Many thanks for your help. Cheers Alex

I have enabled simple mode on a project with 1 data source and 1 Business Unit. I have also updated the settings for all tables to support simple mode: When i try to deploy the project i get the error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.BatchParser.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found. Location: Business Unit 'ABC'. Details: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.BatchParser.dll' or one of its dependencies.

How can I access the HTTP Response Headers when retrieving data from the CData Rest Connector? I need to read values from it to set up pagination in the .rsd file. In my case it contains the current page, records per page and total number of records.

Hi! Can you clearify that if I run a full load ( on a source based incremental table), it doesn't update the _I table with the current max value? In our scenario, I run a full load very early in the morning and then run incremental loads during the day. But I have seen that the first incremental load of the day takes a very long time to run which I suspect is due to there being a lot of changes since the last incremental load, i.e. the full load's transfer is ignored by the incremental load? So the first incremental load, more or less, transfers the same data that the full load did? Version 19.11.7.64 Regards Niclas

Hi, I have a large FACT-tables in my DWH (copy from a view in stage). I have tried to add partitions. I didn't help that much, so I removed it again.But since I removed it, the table can't be deployed. I get the below error. I can re-add the partition, but still the same error: An error occurred during drop partition function. See exception details for the failing object An error occurred during drop user defined function. See exception details for the failing object: Drop failed for PartitionFunction 'FactSalesOrder_History_PartitionFunction'. An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. Partition function 'FactSalesOrder_History_PartitionFunction' is being used by one or more partition schemes. Details: SQL Server: '.' SQL Procedure: '' SQL Line Number: 2 SQL Error Number: 7706 I'm not sure how to find and drop what-ever TX is complaining about.Tried this:DROP PARTITION FUNCTION FactSalesOrder_History_PartitionFunction and then get this:Partition function

Is it possible to create a clustered column-store index in TimeXtender 20.103.64?

where the mappings saved in timextender?? Is there any chance to store the Mapping details in SQL Server?

I am using the Field Validation to test our ETL. Using this as source data: And these rules in the DSA: And this query to check for errors: I get the following result: The _L table is linking to the records in the _R table that were removed when they failed the validation step on FIRST_NAME. Also the Warning level notification is not present in the table. As it stands the _L, _R, and _M tables as joined above are showing incorrect or at least confusing information. Am I using them as they were intended to be used, and has anyone done anything to get around this? Thanks, Mark

Currently, we are rendering an error when we want to do a Transfer task for with the ODX server. We are trying to read an PxPlus data source via an ODBC driver, TimeXtender correctly shows all available tables and columns, and synchronizing also seems to work fine. However, when we try to transfer the data the following error is returned: The source does allow any schema's, and it seems that TimeXtender nevertheless tries to envoke a query with a schema (I think the error is returned because of the []. before the tablename). We have tried some things in the Query formatting and Character Replacement, but we can't get it to work properly. TimeXtender version: 20.10.1.64ODX Server version 20.10.1

Currently we are facing a problem with memory resources when we're trying to do a data export. When writing a huge file, 4 gb, the memory allocated to this TX process takes up more resources than we would like (> 22gb of RAM). Is there any possibility for breaking up the data export in partions, such that the process takes up less RAM? I would think there would be some kind of option like the data batch cleansing in the table settings, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Within the data export we use the TimeXtender File Export 2.0.0.0 provider.

I just tried the TXDictionary project from CubeStore and managed to deploy the ODX (Business Unit) but when I start execution I get the following error: Invalid object name 'etl.ExecutionPackageLogs_I'. Running TX 20.10.1.64

I am unable to set up notifications on critical errors in the ODX server. I get the following error message: My guess is that our SMTP server only accepts AD authentication. Is there a workaround?

Hello, one of our customers is considering the use of TimeXtender but their IT department is not supporting ODBC. Is it possible to discover (metadata analysis) and transfer data from new datasources (SQL, Oracle, etc.) without the use of ODBC? Or can all be done using the ODX server?

Although I'm following the steps explained on this page (https://legacysupport.timextender.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034695651-Connect-to-a-REST-API), I can't figure out what's going wrong. Situation: I have a REST API, with two endpoints: one for fetching all locations (locationId) and one for fetching all reviews per location. I need the locationId from the first request, iterate trough all locationId's and request the reviews per location. First request is working perfectly, REST.json is loaded with all locations. For the second request, I've edited the RSD file, with an input parameter and filter (I know, the URL is mentioned twice, don't know which one is correct): Then I added a dynamic filter: However, no results. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I was wondering if the CData data provider supports Bearer Authentication. The API request I'm trying to make is to a small 3rd party Application. Regards, Emil H

I have a table with fields defined (call it Table B), but no mapping. I am inserting into this by using Table Insert (from Table A). Think Table A -> inserted into -> Table B. In the picture below Table A is Projects from D365 at the bottom of the picture. Table B is everything else in the image. DataAreaId is a field defined on Table B and is populated successfully from the table insert. I would like to have a field, Field C, that simply does a custom transformation which places the value of DataAreaID into Field C. While the Table B is fully deployed and executed, I am finding that Field C is unpopulated. In fact all fields in the image that take values not from the Table Insert directly are unpopulated meaning I also can't assign constants. So, all of the DimensionDisplayValue - xxxx fields in the picture are empty after executing. I have also noticed to my surprise that the raw table is empty. Not sure if this is by design or if something on Table B can be reconfigure to allow this

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.
