In 20.10, is there a way to remove a data source but keep the tables with the data that were created from it? I’m trying to eliminate my last CData data source that pulled legacy data in from an old MS Access database. I tried to remove the data source, but in doing so, it attempts to delete the loaded tables in the Business Unit. I still need to be able to use and reference the legacy data that was loaded but I no longer have access to the legacy MS Access database to re-load it with a non-CData connector.
Hi All, Hopefully you can help me with this one. We have a source table from our POS systems containing sales transactions. There are a few value columns we transfer that are stored as a money data type and we see some weird things happening with the values of the columns. Differences of 0.01 up to 0.0001 are appearing from nowhere in the transfer from ODX to DWH and i don't know how this i happening.The columns that have money data type are called ‘Bedrag', ’Korting’ and ‘NettoBedrag’ Take transaction 52. In the source the values are like this: After transfer with ODX, i looked in the parquet file using ParquetViewer and that looks like this: Still the same, nothing wrong here.I imported the table without any modifications in TimeXtender and it looks like this: After a transfer the data looks like this: If you look closely we lost 0.0001 on the first record ‘NettoBedrag’. Also wel lost 0.0001 on the Bedrag of the second record.I've tried a few things to mitigate this. Different numeri
I configured a REST API endpoint. It woks as expected as long as I only add tables from my MDW to the endpoint. However, any views I add to the instance in TX are not visible through the API. They do not show up in the /swagger nor can I query data from them nor can I find any mention of then in the webserver configuration. Why is that?

Hi team, I need to audit how many rows were moved by batch on the prepare table. Is there in TX how to audit it?ThanksCarlos
Hi Team, Hope you are well!!We have received CVE-2024-21907 Kenna Vulnerability in SUN ODX Servers to upgrade SSIS from version 15.0.4440.1 to version 15.0.4455.2. Could you please confirm whether we can update this to the latest version? The SSIS package used for integration, I am not really sure if this will affect the existing integration.?
Hi,Is there some documentation available for the metadata in the exmon database, on how the DB model works? We would like to create some useful queries for troubleshooting purposes, to find problems in the run.(I found this old thread where the last post asked the same question: Exmon run stats into PowerBI | Community. Don't know if it was answered somewhere else) Thanks! Willem
Hi, We've setup a REST API web server according to the manual. On the resulting endpoints fieldnames always seem to start lowercase. The original fieldnames in the deliver instance start with a uppercase letter. Now, I know that there should be a way to edit this in the configuration of the web server.Is this something we can edit ourselves? I've tried looking up directions, but web servers are not my expertise and I am unsure if the source code for the web servers is available locally or only in the cloud repository? Vilsen, Luuk Bouman
When adding a conditional lookup in table A from table B an index is created in table B.This is expected behaviour when the Index generation setting is set to “Automatic”.However, if the lookup operator is set to “None”, no index is created in table B, eventhough index generation is set to automatic.Additionally, if a lookup is at first created with operator “Max” (or any other) an index is created, but if the operator is later changed to “None” the index is automatically removed. This seems like a bug. Is anyone else able to replicate this?I have tested this on version 7026.1
I am having some issues with the transfer step when loading incremental using direct read. The problem seems to be that the generated procedures do not utilize indices on the underlying tables, resulting in full PK scans for every run.I was especially having problems when running on azure general compute. Switching to hyperscale helped some, but the transfer step still uses approx 40sec scanning ~90m rows causing bottlenecks. When using ADO.NET I could set an index on the incremental rule-field speeding up the search to <1sec.The execution-plan generated by TX looks like this: Here we get a PK index-scan even when there is an index on dw-timestamp.Testing on a subset of the data (~10mill rows): Adding the option(recompile) to the procedure results in the procedure using the dw-timestamp index: Is there a good reason for why these procedures are generated without the recompile flag?Is it something that could be added in a later release?And is there a way to work around this other tha
I have 3 big fact tables in the source which i load incrementally. Primary keys are CompanyID and EntryNo (applicable for each table separately, incrementing), the records in these fact tables are never deleted.I need to merge these tables to a single table in DSA layer also incrementally. I think of following setup:Make the DSA table also incremental, check “Don’t handle deletes” (as the records are never deleted in source) Include both CompanyID and EntryNo as primary keys in the table; Incremental Selection Rule → EntryNo > (Last max value); Map all tables from source in this single DSA table The result which i expect is every time DSA table is executed - it incrementally loads data from 3 related fact tables - based on EntryNo for each separate CompanyID (one CompanyID per one source table). This way i have one huge table containing all the records for all 3 “Companies”. Am i correct to assume this is the setup i need? Are there any risks with possibly missing or overwriting the

Hello,I am connecting to an external blob storage using a private endpoint. The blob storage is structured as follows:parquet/ 2025-12-29/ Acquisition.parquet Asset.parquet AssetBalanceSheet.parquet … User.parquet ValuationAssumption.parquet 2025-12-30/ Acquisition.parquet Asset.parquet … Etc. I am using the TimeXtender Parquet Data Source provider. The connection works, but the results I get from the Metadata Manager are not what I expect.Current settings Path: parquet/ Include subfolders: Yes Included file types: parquet File aggregation pattern: Asset.parquet Expected behaviorI expect the Metadata Manager to return a single table called “Asset”, aggregated across all available date folders.Actual behaviorInstead, all files/tables are returned, with what appears to be an "_<number>" suffix added for each additional date folder (e.g. Asset, Asset_1, Asset_2, etc.).I tried many setting combinations:Test 1: Exact filename, no wildcardsPath: parquet/ Inc
Hello, Technical: 20.10.67 using ODX (Updated: SQL Database not data lake)Connector: Cdata Ado.net provider for Json (2024)Settings: Source: Azure blob Data Model=FlattenedDocuments;Flatten Row Limit=1000000I have a situation with a odx transfer task failing and crashing the ODX due to memory.I need to jump in and help in a project where they need to get a very large json (85gb) into TX, because any previous attempts to ingest it fails. I ran a sample size to test (49mb) which resulted in roughly 550k rows and took 60s to run with a transfer task. One page (5000) takes around 200-300ms from looking at logs.If it is linear it would mean upwards of 900 million rows (we do not know the actual row amount) and it could take upwards of 30h if we assume linear scaling here. One easy problem was timeout time, which I fixed by increasing the ODX timeout from 2 hours to 24 hours during testing.Currently I can get it to run to around 6-7 hours but then it fails due to the ODX crashing with the fo
Hi, I am adding a mapping set (4 tables) to my table and then I get the “Source Table” column. After a deploy and execute the column “Source Table” have only a single dot in the column. I am expecting a table name from the mapping set as before... Whats wrong? Any suggestion? regards,Bjørn A.
Is the new TX Enhanced REST source slower than the old CData REST source?When we tested simple REST endpoints we saw the new TX source using 10x longer for the same identical job.Anyone have any experience with this?For reference we are running on TX 20.10.72.64.

As CData has been deprecated/is available for additional fee, we’d like to have a native TimeXtender PostgreSQL data source connector.Our current workaround is using ODBC, but this is not the ideal solution (eg. credentials managed on server side, lots of tweaking to load bulk data etc.).
In the new version 7257.1 What’s mean this symbol in some tables and fields?
As of today, getting 500 errors in ODX/Ingest data transfers using the REST connector does not trigger an error, only warning. This makes it almost impossible to catch. Even if 500 means that something is wrong in the source, we must be able to catch it either to accommodate the possible source limitation (eg. downtime during certain times) or to contact the source admins. For the user, this error is just as urgent as any other.I propose to make all errors trigger an ODX error (so that the execution package fails), or at least to add an option to set this behavior.
I have a TimeXtender REST connection to SalesForce. This specific REST API is a file api. This means that you have to send a request (in the form of a query) to an endpoint, after which the API starts to generate an export. When the export is finished, it can be downloaded via a separate endpoint as CSV.To extract this data with TX REST, I have set up a method with three endpoints per ‘endpoint’, this works as following:The first endpoint called _query sends a query via a POST request to a specific endpoint The second endpoint called _waitForComplete uses a dynamic value from the _query endpoint so that the _query endpoint gets executed first. The _waitForComplete endpoint uses pagination with a 1-minute delay to send requests to an endpoint that returns the status of the generation of the CSV file. Once the generation is complete, the _waitForComplete endpoint will return a JobComplete response which will stop the pagination. The third endpoint uses a dynamic value from the _waitForCo
Is there any documenation on how to get this set up? I cannot find anything on the support site besides that the functionality is available. I have set up things in my Snowflake account but TimeXtender refuses to create storage. I have created the stage in Snowflake and point TX towards it and get this: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I have triple checked all RBAC settings and the role assigned to my TX service account has what it needs. I can even see that after running import meta data it has created some folders in the stage. But will not create storage or load data from my source data connections
From a governance perspective, we would like all production Power BI report measures to be secured and managed in TimeXtender. At the moment, we sometimes have reports with up to 100 measures, which currently have to be retyped one by one as a measure in TX.Power BI allows measures to be exported as a JSON export, which can then also be converted to Excel.How great would it be if we could import these measures directly using the JSON file from PBI, or alternatively via a generic Excel upload function. This would save a lot of manual work.
Hi, I’m running TimeXtender Data Integration 7158.1.When integrating an existing object I accidentally got a few extra tables, or MDW schemas, into my project that I didn’t intend to integrate.Now I’m having a hard time removing them from the project. Going through the ‘integrate existing objects’ window without having those schemas selected does not help. In two cases could drop the tables and remove them that way but I don’t want to remove txdsa.ODX_TEMP tables (while running). I thought of simply reverting my version but as of now it seems that the open folder is disabled. I do see version notes though but no way to revert to that version.Any ideas?
