Data on demand not working for REST connector with dynamic values from other endpoint in latest version

Hello, When you have multiple endpoints configured in the portal and endpoint B uses dynamic values from endpoint A, the the data on demand functionality doesn't work for tables that need endpoint B. Tables derived from A get the data on demand just fine. The exception message says: "OnDemand execution failed for data source '<datasource>' table '<table>' was not executed” I encountered this in a customer environment and then tried to replicate it locally in my sandbox setup. To my surprise, the data on demand worked in my sandbox. However, I had an older version of TX installed. I updated to the latest version on my local laptop and then encountered the exact same problem. This would suggest that it’s a bug in the new version. My version number for TX is 6848.1.

Issue with the data source short name, cannot change it afterwords

Dear, when creating a new data source connection, my colleague cloned it from an existing instance and the adjusted the ingest instance mapping. Whereas mistakenly there is an unwanted character in the short name as below.After hitting the clone button it appears not possible to change the short name anymore. Thus the name in the storage account container is also incorrect. Could you advice how we can change this short name?The setups (such of pk and incremental settings) of the data source are completed, and the DW_SourceCode is also used as a calculated column and loaded to the following layers so it is not impossible to create the data source from scratch but would cost a lot time.. That is why we want to see if it’s still possible to be edited.Thank you in advance

Issues with TimeXtender_Ingest_Service_6823.1

I wanted to ask if others have experienced issues with the TimeXtender_Ingest_Service_6823.1.For the second time, I’ve encountered problems with opening the ODX, where it gets stuck during the process. When attempting to restart the Ingest service, it remains in a "stopping" state and fails to restart properly.To resolve this, I’ve had to manually force the TimeXtender_Ingest_Service_6823.1 to stop using the Command Prompt. Once the service has been forced to stop, I can restart it successfully, and afterward, the ODX opens without issue.Has anyone else encountered similar problems? If so, are there any recommendations or fixes to prevent this from occurring again?Looking forward to your insights.

Special Character Encoding Issues with Swedish Characters in ODBC Oracle Integration

Hello,I'm facing an issue with how TimeXtender handles special Swedish characters (å, ä, ö) when querying data from an Oracle database through the ODBC data source. I have a view that contains a column with the data type (VARCHAR2) in the Oracle DB. When loading the data to TimeXtender the special characters appear as question marks (å), a (ä), and o (ö). However, when I create a Query Table and use CAST(CF$_PLAN AS VARCHAR2(1000)) on the same column the special characters are retrieved correctly to TimXtender. I have queried DUMP from the database to check that the column’s special characters are stored with proper UTF-8 encoded values, and they are.I have also checked the NLS settings for the Oracle database, the TX application server and the ODBC connection.Is there a way for these special characters to be retrieved correctly to TimeXtender without having to use CAST in Query Tables?I use TimeXtender Data Integration 6822.1 and TimeXtender Ingest Service 6823.1.

TimeXtender classic ODX connect to Azure SQL / Synapse storage

Hello,We are using TimeXtender classic ODX server (20.10.51) to ingest data. Some of our data sources are located in Azure in form of Azure Synapse / Azure SQL.Are there any guides on how to setup data ingestion from Azure to on-premises ODX server?I.e. what are prerequisites from Azure side (service principal / managed identity?) to connect and what connectors should be used from the ones available in ODX server?I know this is possible from cloud version of TX, but is it possible to do so from classic version? Thank you

Add Fabric LakeHouse as new source

Hi All, I try to add my Fabric LakeHouse as a new source in TimeXtender version 20.10.50.64 but I keep getting an error when I try to read objects from datasource eventhough it says connection is succesfull.Data source settingsI copy the SQL connection string from my lakehouse and put it as server name. When I do "Read object from data source” I get the following error. The weird thing is that when I try these exact same stept in SSMS I can see the table from the source with the data in it. Am I missing some steps?

Timextender Excel data source error.

I’m trying the new timextender excel data source but I keep getting errors. I have upgraded to TimeXtender Ingest Service 6823.1 and TimeXtender Data Integration 6822.1.I am trying to load a really basic excel file. First I tried the ‘Infer data types’ option. It succesfully detected the datatypes but I still end up with an error in the last step of the metadata manager.Service request failed: The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type nvarchar of the specified target column. (System.InvalidOperationException)It does not say which column is the issue.After this I tried to disable the ‘infer data types’. It shows all my source columns as text but I still end up with the same error. Lastly I tried to override the data types to varchar(max). Still the same error. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?

Soap 1.2 Request from ODX - is it possible?

Hi,Have anyone succeeded with a Soap 1.2 call from ODX?We have a source that only have a Soap interface. I've done a lot of testing but so far very little success.For the moment it complains about my content-type header. Don't know why. I'm using the rest connector. Perhaps I should use a xml connector instead. If anyone could share a working example I would be more than happy. Perhaps it's not possible at all. I'm not sure. RegardsAnders Bengtsson

TimeXtender CSV Data Source - PathNotFound (aggregation pattern)

Hi,We are trying to connect to several CSV files stored in a local folder. While we can successfully synchronize the data source and perform a full load in the ODX, we encounter an error when attempting to add the table to our data area (DSA).The issue lies in the path to the Parquet file stored in Azure. The correct path should be:CSV_DNB/csv_*/DATA_2024_11_28__11_09_50_2219585/DATA/DATA_0000.parquet However, the path Timextender is looking for is:CSV_DNB/csv_^*/DATA_2024_11_28__11_09_50_2219585/DATA/DATA_0000.parquet It seems that Timextender is misinterpreting the automatically generated name and adds a ^ character.I also attempted to use a specific file aggregation pattern, such as;H100.*.csv(all files in folder have the prefix H100 followed by a random number). However, I encountered the same error. Is there a way to specify the name of the table generated in the ODX? It seems like the “File aggregation pattern” is the issue. Do you have any idea how to fix this? -Execute Executi

Different output query tool vs transfer in the odx TX SQL connector (Classic)

We are experiencing a small issue with one of the connectors while using managed queries. When I use the query tool, we are utilizing the SQL endpoint from a Fabric Lakehouse to retrieve the data into the ODX. When I query the DBO table, I receive 12 records. For example, when running this query:SELECT [SinkCreatedOn], [SinkModifiedOn], [omoperatingunitnumber], [modifieddatetime], [modifiedby], [createddatetime], [createdby], [dataareaid], [recid], [tableid], [createdon], [modifiedon], [IsDelete] FROM dbo.[omoperatingunit] I also get 12 records. However, when we transfer this managed query, we only receive 11 records. This issue has occurred with multiple tables. We are not applying any filters to this dataset.Do you have any idea why this might be happening? Manually excluding or including all the columns is not manageable on the scale we are working with, so we rely on writing managed queries.

Override data type

I believe I followed the instructions I found here: But for some reason it wont work on my end, or maybe i’m doing something wrong? I’m using TX version 6745.1 which is one of the latest. I have set the column that gives me the error to convert to text.After that I double checked to see if TX would indeed override the datatype and turn it into text. I synchonize again and try to transfer. But for some reason it keeps throwing me the error:Message: Error obtaining value '25-mei-1991' for column 'Geboorte Datum'. Failed to convert to datatype: 'datetime'. The original datatype of the column is: 'datetime'.Am I missing how this is supposed to work, or am I doing something wrong?
