I’m regularly running into the “Cannot open server 'sql-instances-prod' requested by the login. Client with IP address '125.7.127.171' is not allowed to access the server.” error message, especially during overnight executions by the execution scheduler.But I can’t replicate the connection issue, i.e. it seems to be intermittent:Has anybody else encountered this issue and do you know what would be causing it / what the workaround might be?
The scheduler stopped working in production. Yesterday I restarted but it still not running.How can I fix this issue?I have gone through the below document.Scheduled Execution issues - Did it not start, did it fail, or is my execution still running? – TimeXtender SupportOn my computer the recovery options were disabled.
Hi! I am experiencing an issue with ADO.NET transfer times on incrementally loaded tables where the ADO.NET transfer takes the same amount of time regardless of the amount of new rows coming into the table. A full load of the table containing about 45 million rows takes about 25 minutes, on the next incremental load the load time is still the same with ADO.NET taking up around 24 of these minutes. Our current data flow is as follows: SQL server → TimeXtender → Azure elastic pool (this is where all of our TimeXtender databases resides) Full load - 45 million rows Incremental load - 11 thousand new rows in the _R table The amount of new rows coming in to the table Has anyone experienced a similar issue? My best guess is that the problem resides in the azure elastic pool where the ado.net transfer is being throttled. Even if I have 0 rows in the _R table the ADO.NET transfer time is the same. Thank you!
We have an API in which we have to pass a POST request with a request body to obtain the data. In Qlik Sense and Postman we have a basic connection established. However, there you can easily specify that the call should be a POST and you can also easily fetch the request body. In the CDATA REST connector in TX, we do not know where to fetch this request body in the connection. The demo endpoint we are trying to connect is:https://api.mews-demo.com/api/connector/v1/configuration/getwith the request body:{"ClientToken": "E0D439EE522F44368DC78E1BFB03710C-D24FB11DBE31D4621C4817E028D9E1D","AccessToken": "7059D2C25BF64EA681ACAB3A00B859CC-D91BFF2B1E3047A3E0DEC1D57BE1382","Client": "NameOfYourCompanyOrApplication"}Any help would be appreciated.
Hi team, TimeXtender allows adding parameters from a different table to a custom field in a semantic data model (Qlik). The resulting syntax/qlik script combination is always broken.When using adding a custom field parameter from a different table, TimeXtender fully qualifies the Qlik syntax regardless of the settings. The resulting syntax on the Qlik side will no longer match the syntax in the views created by TimeXtender:Qualified setting:Fully qualified setting: The resulting Qlik Script:"Sales_Targets":LOAD"KPI", "Target", "DIM_Boekdatum.DayName" AS "Test";SQL SELECT"KPI", "Target"FROM "Test"."dbo"."Test QVD_SLQV";But the view has the following syntax:CREATE VIEW [dbo].[Test QVD_SLQV]-- Copyright 2011 timeXtender a/s-- All rights reserved---- This code is made available exclusively as an integral part of-- timeXtender.

Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me with this.I am working on getting Azure AD Groups via the Graph API and then retrieving the members through a nested API call.I saw a post concerning a nested REST API call together with pagination in which one of the commenters (Gijs) had the exact same API which I am also using (commented by Gijs):https://support.timextender.com/rsd-file-customization-96/using-a-nested-rest-api-in-combination-with-paging-858However, the suggestion didn't work for my use-case as it only ‘expanded’ the nested values, but didn't paginate. I only got the members of the first 100 groups.I used the RSD-file from the commenter Gijs with the addition of two points:two additional rows to enable pagination; [memberout.userPrincipalName| allownull()] instead of [memberout.userPrincipalName] as I was getting a [500] error with this specific attribute.I've made them bold in the code down below.Would someone be able to give me some pointers to what I'm missing in the RSD
Where can I find a description of the properties of the Global Database settings in general and in my case regarding a SQL server DB especially the “max rows to copy”. I have used 0 (hopefully then there is no limit but I have also seen that values are used).
Hello there, we’ve been experiencing intermittent slowness in the TimeXtender UI within the past few weeks. Even doing simple things like right clicking on a execution package to view the logs, trying to see the status of an ODX transfer job, etc. will sometimes cause the UI to feel like it’s just not responding (no lotus status UI) for 30 seconds to minutes.This isn’t something that happens all the time and we haven't been able to nail down a root cause. Our VM where the UI is running is rarely over 30% CPU usage and we usually have over 80% memory free. Same goes for the VM that the ODX is running on. How do you even begin to troubleshoot this when the UI is slow to respond? The TimeXtender UI is on version 20.10.38.64. The TimeXtender ODX server is on version 20.10.37Thanks!
Dear Community, I have a few questions regarding transferring to another internal server and if you could help me with any of these questions help is appreciated.We have currently two servers running on SQL Server 2016, one server has the DEV and ACC environments and the second server has our PROD Environment (TimeXtender 20.10.39.64).The environments were installed by a supplier but their external employee left, so we want to try and install this on our own (with snapshots/backups in case something goes wrong).We want to try and move the DEV/ACC environment to a new server which has the same TimeXtender version but SQL Server 2019. For this move I have 3 questions:Can I just export and import the project from old server to my new server and load the data again into a new SQL database? How can I set up my environments in such a way that my DEV → ACC → PROD traject isn’t changed. I could not find those settings and had trouble finding them on the legacy page. As the DEV/ACC environments
Hi,I need to create sub directories for a list of users. I have the users in a table so I'm able to create a .bat file with the mkdir statements.I can manually execute this file but I wonder if there is an option to execute this .bat file using TX?
Hi Support, We are experiencing an issue with the prioritization in our execution package. Our trip table is updated with an update script using data from the number_per_trip table.However, the trip table is loaded before the numbers_per_trip table. This results in missing new data in the trip table as the number_per_trip table has not yet been loaded before the script action is executed. We would like to change the loading order of these tables and have tried to do this by adding prioritization. This has no effect on the load whatsoever. I cannot find out what the problem is.Are there any settings blocking the prioritization feature or are we using the feature in the wrong way?See settings below.
Hi,I am running a legacy version of TimeXtender (version 20.10.40.64), where we have an Excel Online connection set up using CData ADO.NET Provider for Microsoft Excel Online 2022 (22.0.8389.0) as data source.This data source is configured to authenticate via Azure ‘client flow’, see picture. The app registration in Azure has the following permissions: The data source works properly most of the time. It is able to list the worksheets it finds on the SharePoint site, and can fetch data.

Hi,I am trying to parse a response using the REST connector from an API which returns a JSONROWS-format where the first row contains the name of the columns, while the following rows contain the values.The response is on the form:{ "response":[ [ {"name":"test1"}, {"name":"test2"} ], [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ], [ 5, 6 ] ]}I have tried several different xPath-configurations. The following gives the correct columns, but returns zero rows:xPath: column:/response;columnname:/response.name;row:/responseI was hoping that at least this would have parsed all the values as strings with the first row containing the {“name”:”testN”} in the corresponding columns.How do I work with this response?
Dear comunity and support,This morning my Job scheduling broke and it does not seem to go online anymore.I'm running the new 6221 version and I have three issues:I have an ‘invalid’ job. I've reset the services and re-added the instances to the Execution server but nothing seems to fix it. At first I was not able to add Data warehouse execution packages to a job, but then I read that you can't schedule ODX and Data warehouse executions in one job. So i stopped the ODX Server service on windows and was then able to add the jobs and run them. This was going fine until I showed my collegues. How can I fix the job? I cannot add Data warehouse executions to my Job. Most of the time I cannot see the packages. I find the packages when I deselect the ‘Hide objects that can't be added’, but I cannot add them. During a brief time I was able to add them, when i stoped the ODX Server Service, but this must have been a fluke as I cannot imagine that I have to stop services to get a certain resu
Hi,We are using the Excel Online connector which is authenticated with a service account and uses delegated permissions to access Excel files on Sharepoint. The idea is that all relevant files will be shared with this account and then loaded into our DWH. The required files are visible on Sharepoint when siging in with the user:But for some reason, they are not when using the Excel Online connector (with option Show shared documents = ‘True’). I know that the connector uses the /SharedWithMe (OneDrive) call to fetch shared items, since that is what I inferred from the logging.This call indeed retrieves no results through the Graph Explorer, but the files are visible through another, similar, call on the Graph Explorer (the one from ‘Insights’): Why are files visible on Sharepoint but not on OneDrive? Is there a way to work around this? I have seen use cases where they actually are visible on both Sharepoint and OneDrive and the connector is working properly.

We’re facing issues with CData REST API connector when requesting an API for a large dataset. TX sends the request, but seems to never receive a response. The execution fails when it hits the timeout limit (currently set to 3600 seconds).In the logs (verbosity 4) I see that nothing happens between the time that the request was sent and the moment of timeout. I put the same URI, headers and parameters in Azure Data Factory. After 9 minutes it receives a response of 204MB and 176K rows. In Postman, I received a response after 8 minutes. While I agree that it might be better to somehow make smaller API request. In fact, when I limit the date range to only this year, TX gets a response in about a minute. However, I still expect TX/CData to finish the request when the dataset is larger and it takes more time before the response is generated by the server.Due to NDAs I cannot post logs, RSDs or credentials here, but I’ll send some additional files via email.Tx version 20.10.39CData REST API
Hi I am just testing our V21. I have started with something simple, a 2 column CSV file with an integer key field and a text group code field. There are 18 rows.I can load it into the ODX fine (running on local SQL Server db) and I can preview the contents in the ODX “Select Tables” Pane.I can drag it to a Data Warehouse Data Area and it creates and maps the table fine with appropriate field settings.When I deploy the table in the Data Area that works fine.When Executing I get an error on the transfer which does not tell me what is happening. The error I get returned is as follows: Transfer table failedDetails:Transfer table failedModule: timeXtenderSystem.Exception at TimeXtender.DataManager.StepTransferExecute.DoDataWarehouse(IStepSetup stepSetup, List`1 mergeODXTransferInfromation, VariableResolveObject dynamicResolveObject) at TimeXtender.DataManager.StepTransferExecute.DoAbstractStep(IStepSetup stepSetup) That means nothing to me and I cannot determine what I can do to correct

I am using ODX version 6143.1. When loading a table from a source system, incremental load on a datetime column (with an offset of 7 days) works fine. But when I set up the incremental load rule with Detect deletes and Detect updates selected, the first incremental load (which is the initial load) runs successful, but a second load (which should be the increment) gives me a 404 HTTP error:Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (The specified path does not exist.). Edit: problem only arises when setting the Delete detection option. When I remove this checkbox, the 404 error disappears (so the Detect primary key updates option does work correct).
We have set up a db2 connector in an installation with the new version of Timextender. The connection is ok.When we make a search to select tables, nothing turns up. Both the schema and table filters are set to <All>.It seems that Timextender searches the schema [sys_tables], but the server uses the schema [systables]. Without the underscore.The schema [sys_tables] exists on the server, but contains no data. I created a Query Table (Select * from [sys_tables]). It was executed succesfully in a Transfer task, but only returned empty columns.Is it possible to change the script so that the query uses the schema systables?I couldn't find anything about it in CData's online manualThe Timextender version is 6143.1, and the CData DB2 version is 22.0.8389.9
Hi,We wonder if someone of you already ran into this issue, and perhaps have an idea on how to solve it ?Setup :TX 20.10.38 using Azure SQL DB for DWH and ADLS gen2 for ODX Server. ADF used to load data from ODX Server into DSA. All databases have private endpoint, so SelfHosted Integration Runtime is used by ADF.Issue :From time to time (random - not always on the same tables - for both incremental and full load tables) we notice that the ADF pipeline takes the normal amount of time to load data from ODX to DSA R-table. However the cleansing takes 0 (zero) seconds and the record count log reports 0 (zero) records in the R-table. ADF nor TimeXtender Execution report an error.In the ODX Service Log we often notice this error : Failed to encrypt sub-resource payload… (not on exact the same moment as the execution - so not sure it has something to do with the issue)Work-around : ADO.netWe had a simular issue last year and started using ADO.net to load data from ODX Server into DSA.

Hi, I am having some trouble in using the nested REST API in combination with paging. The extensive description on how to use the nested call in the RSD-file was very helpfull. The only thing I cannot get working is the paging at the first level.Two different cases, but I think the same underlying issue. In the first case the pageoffset is used as a parameter, in the other one it uses a pagetoken (the nextmarker in a blobstorage). In the output, I do see that paging is applied, but the problem is that it starts at the first page again. I seems that when using the input- and output files the correct information about the next page is not being picked up by the api-call.I have tried the call without nesting (so only on the first level) and without qualifiying the parameters and then the paging is working correctly, but when I switch to in and out again, I get false results.Does anybody recognize this isse and solved it somehow? Kind regards,Jacqueline Hofmeijer
