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. 

I want my transfer to MDW job to run only when my ODX transfer task has completed without any errors. What happens sometimes now is that for some reason there is an error in the extraction and some tables are empty, they then get pushed to the MDW and our reports break because the tables are empty. I see that you can use instance variables but I don’t  see that option on my ODX. How can I set this up?

Hi TX Community!I get data from an external-database everyday.Since we have an aim of incremental-loading the data that we extract, we are doing some query-tables from the datasource to create a “incremental-load”-key.In that matter we are experiencing two issues:1- TX cannot read the date-formats that are extracted from the database. This is the format that we get out: Of course, we can right-click on the field and edit the datatype, but that we would have to do everytime we syncronize the datasource because everytime we syncronize the datasource all the date-fields are back to the “unknown”-format and therefore we would have to right-click on each field and edit the data-type. We’ve tried to use the “Data type overrides” but it doesnt seem that we can convert from an “unknown

Hello, I would like to set up a jobs on a hourly schedule for the first week of the month (and daily for the rest of the month). Is there a way to allow for more complex scheduling-rules for the Jobs ?

I am setting up TimeXtender to extact tables from SAP with Theobald. I have a selection of tables that I can succesfuly extract when I add just one table to a transfer task. However, when I add all relevant tables to a single transfer task I run into errors. The extraction seems to be succesful on the Theobald side but moving the data to the ODX storage gives the following error “Error while copying content to a stream”. I can figure out why the tranfer is working when I do it per table and gives an error when I do multiple tables.. Full error sample below: Executing table rest_mara_generalarticledata:failed with error:System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Error while copying content to a stream. ---> System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a closed Stream.   at System.IO.__Error.StreamIsClosed()   at System.IO.MemoryStream.get_Position()   at Syste

Hi Friends, I contact you because I have to migrate a Dim Table with SCD 2 from the Old SQL DW to TX and after that set the TX Dim to the following working, Is there any process to do that? Thanks  for your help Ignacio

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.

This article explains the process of adding tables to Deliver instances. By providing only the most relevant data to each department or business unit in the form of a data mart, data consumers do not have to waste time sorting through all the data in the warehouse to find what they need.Adding a Table to a Deliver instance Adding a Data Selection Rule to a Table Adding a Hierarchy to a Table Setting a Default Date Table Adding a Table to a Deliver instanceDrag a table from a data area to Tables under the relevant Deliver instance.

When loading regularly (every hour) using incremental load, the ODX seems to “lose” transactions from source. Next run of the incremental load, ODX does not catch these missing transactions. The work around is to full load data, but the this takes long time. And it renders the incremental load useless as it is not to be trusted.We are running 20.10.34. Does any of the newer 20 versions have a fix to this?Regards Mads

HelloI currently have a column with the following file name in one of my tables. C:\Users\John\OneDrive - Sales Solutions\Desktop\TimeXtender\TMX-DataSamples\RLZ\BESTERS - BESTERS POINT - BESTERS IND_DEC 22_101602_0.txtIs there a way to remove the path name in the column to only have the file name?I have a file for each month and have merged the files so all the data is in one table. For example, remove this piece: C:\Users\John\OneDrive - Sales Solutions\Desktop\TimeXtender\TMX-DataSamples\RLZ\and only show this piece:BESTERS - BESTERS POINT - BESTERS IND_DEC 22 as the file name.I also need to have the Month Year (DEC 22) of each file copied into a new column called “Date”. Is this at all possible?Thank you

Hi,I can’t find a way to update my table with the new field [Color] that has been added to the view the table insert is based on. Any suggestions?BRAnders

On clean procedures generated by TX, they seem to have a RECOMPILE embedded into the procedure itself as a general rule. I think this is to keep them fresh to other changes in a project that get introduced. But do we know the exact reason why, and is there a way to remove other that doing a customized change table by table? 

Dear Support,The reload in TimeXtender is giving the error: An item with the same key has already been added.It seems to be that one column is mapped on two different columns in the same table.Is there a quick solution to find the column which is causing this error? Thanks in advance! Christian

I have 3 tables in my src data warehouse:src.SalesOrderItemsDelta, this table gets filled every day with a delta (changes today vs yesterday) of our order lines. Via    src.SalesOrderItems, this table gets filled every Saturday night with all the order lines available.   src.preFactSalesOrderItems, this table gets filled via a custom table insert with the following table insert:

We have a setup with 3 environments (Dev/Test/Prod) running in the legacy version, with a BU Based ODX, DSA, MDW and Several SSLs. Based on a on-prem SQL Server setup. Fairly common I guess.We are multiple developers on a shared project, making changes daily to the project, and therefore needs some QA process. Our target is to have changes and new functionality running on Test for a week before transfering to production. In addition to out centralised BI org, we support the data needs of analysts in the different departments. For this we have established replica databases of ODX and MDW. The analysts can read these replicas without interfering with the centralised data processing (The primary reason for the replicas). Along with the data read access, we have a database the analysist have the rights create objects in (typically views and stored procedures). The analyst environment will only be exposed on our prod platform.We would like to provide a better SLA for

Is there someone who has a quick reference card how to create the connection with an exchange server using the CDATA connector.  We tried several settings with the server, but nothing works. 

I've got an API that returns JSON data. One of the fields contains a UUE encoded csv file. Is there a way to load this to the ODX without some external pre processing?Thanks,Gerrit

I’ve created a query table that suddenly started to fail. When I press Validate everything is fine.I can even preview the table in the sourceI can also run the query on the source. But when I execute the table, with the same user as above I get this message:  Here’s the query:SELECT        t1.[TRANSACTIONCURRENCYAMOUNT]      ,t1.[ACCOUNTINGCURRENCYAMOUNT]      ,t1.[R

Hi all, I create a datatable from Json file with REST data source but got an error as below. ‘The bcp client received an invalid column length for column ID 1.’ Since the the column is zero based I look for the data in second column in my json file. I have ensured that the first and second columns are not read in the RSD file. However, the problem still persists. I believe the issue may be due to the data in this column being too large. This is API: https://archive-api.open-meteo.com/v1/archive?latitude=51.51&longitude=-0.13&start_date=2018-01-01&end_date=2023-04-15&models=best_match&daily=weathercode,temperature_2m_max,temperature_2m_min,temperature_2m_mean,apparent_temperature_max,apparent_temperature_min,sunrise,sunset,shortwave_radiation_sum,precipitation_sum,rain_sum,snowfall_sum,precipitation_hours,windspeed_10m_max,windgusts_10m_max,winddirection_10m_dominant,et0_fao_evapotranspiration&timezone=Eur

I would like to be able to flash fill down NULL values in my DSA table with certain conditions.In the table below I have multiple NULL values. Take for example the column ‘CardCode DUAL’.Row 2 with Company key MTW and project 1201121979 shows for CardCode DUAL DB0006. I would like to show value DB0006 also for all other rows where company key = MTW and project = 1201121969.Same for Route Bron column. I would like to fill down NULL values on the most recent NON Blank value for that Company_Key+Project combination.I think it should be possible with a self join or self select, but not sure how.
