How to use Rolllup task

Hello Community!When running a rollup task, the resulting rollup file ends up in a separate folder inside the same full load folder: After the rollup, new incremental files continue to appear in the DATA folder and the old incremental files are still there. What have we achieved by doing the rollup? Is the new rollup file being used at all? How can we delete the old incremental files given that the delete Storage Management task only removes entire full load folders and we don’t perform full loads?Currently I don’t understand how we can clean up the many incremental files, both for load performance and storage management.Please note: We cannot rely on doing regular full loads because of the size of the tables.Thanks!TX version: 6745.1Connector: TimeXtender SQL Data Source 21.0.2.1We are using Azure Data Lake and ADF.

Error BC365 connection after testing connection

Hi support,Following this ticket I will make one myself to keep things clear. We have set up a Business Central 365 connection, both via OAuth2.0 as service to service authentication. We have succesfully tested the connection with both authentication options. However, when we want to read objects, we receive the error “Invalid response from Business Central retrieving table Field for company”. Full log is added to this ticket as an attachment. We have walked through all steps from the prerequisites guide. Hence, we have a succesful connection. From the other ticket I understand that there are more versions of the Jet Analytics for Business Central extension. It has to be the newest one and I have to keep on trying. In the Extension Marketplace we only find two versions of the Jet Analytics for Business Central extension. The first from Jet Global Data Technologies is not available anymore and they point to the second; the one from insightsoftware. This is the one we have installed; ver

I am deploying a project to Snowflake and see a lof of tables are skipped.Then we get the messages below (as an example) Apparantly the tales are skipped as key stores / supernatural keys are not supported .Is this a feature to become available on short notice as our entire datawarehouse uses these?Besides that, is there a way I can see what any other unsupported feautures we have?

Redundant Objects Dropped Using the 'SQL Database Cleanup Tool' Reappear

HiI originally set up my semantic layer data models with dynamic RLS, using rules defined in a table in TX, but then switched to using a setup with manual RLS. I then removed the dynamic tables from the semantic layer and preceding data pipelines, but when I redeploy my semantic models the removed security table reappears. Any advice?TX Version: 6745.1

TimeXtender REST data source doesn't update endpoint names

Hi!I have set up a REST connection in my Ingest instance to an API with multiple endpoints. The first time I misspelled two of the endpoint names, which I later changed. Then I noticed that the “old” names are still active in the ODX and does not get updated despite multiple refreshes (see attached screenshot). We have already done some work on some of the endpoints so I’m a bit reluctant to delete the whole connection and set it up again just to get these names updated. Is there some other way to fix this?

Failed to read metadata from XmlDocument for endpoint X with transformation 'T' Input string was not in a correct format.

The sync of my ODX datasource returns the following error. The datasource is a REST API endpoint of the form URL/{foreign_ID}, where foreign_id is a dynamic value that comes from a different endpoint within the same data source. The option "Perform exhaustive meta data scan” is enabled. The error returned is this:Failed to read metadata from XmlDocument for endpoint X with transformation 'T'Input string was not in a correct format.There is no further information. The sync does work when I replace foreign_ID by a fixed value. The endpoint contains a field that has a lot of values that look like integers, but some values contain letters. Since the above error message is the most verbose info I’ve got, I assumed that's probably the cause. However this conflicts with my understanding of what an “exhaustive meta data scan” should do. Any help is appreciated.

Persistent mapping error message on syncing MDW with ODX

Dear all,When synchronizing the mdw with the odx through right mouse click on the odx and selecting “Synchronize (...)”, the error messages as attached always show up. “Synchronize with Remapping (...)” only leads to complete removal of the field mappings in the subject tables.As there are other ways to sync the mdw with the odx, it’s still possible to work with the subject tables in the mdw. Nevertheless i wonder what causes the error messages and would like to eliminate them along with the risk of having to redo all work on the tables in a later stage.

Pass Table Name Parameter to a Script Action

I have a generic stored procedure that does some custom post processing based on the table that has just been reloaded (Executed). The stored procedure takes a parameter "TableName". I've created a Script Action that executes the stored procedure. I need this Script Action to run as a Post Step after the last execution step is run for one of several tables. I can create one script action per table with the tablename hardcoded, but I've got a lot of tables to work with and would really prefer do this as a parameter containing the current table name. Is the currently executing table name available in a system parameter somewhere and/or is there a way to create one that can be referenced by a script action?

Simple mode in combination with incremental load

I have a table which loads incremental in the ODXIn the datawarehouse the table is on Automatic and in simple mode.The setting to keep fields up to date is off.Will the incremental records from the ODX do inserts and updates, but update only on the fields with no transformations/lookups or will no updates be made at all when an updated existing record is retrieved from the source?As we don’t have any transformations in that part I was hoping we could skip the RAW table and that records get updated if newer versions come by.The documentation only mentions what the ‘keeping fields up to date’ does for lookup fields , transformation fields and so on, not what exactly happens when that box is not checked

Error when processing data from odx to snowflake

Good afternoonWe are working on the migration to fully deploy to Snowflake. We created a sas token as described in the instruction (https://support.timextender.com/configure-resources-126/use-snowflake-data-warehouse-storage-727) and added the token in the ODX settings in the portal. However when we deploy and execute to Snowflake the deployment goes fine but when executing we get the following error:Failure using stage area. Cause: [This request is not authorized to perform this operation. (Status Code: 403; Error Code: AuthorizationFailure)]In Snowflake the user has enough priviliges but it is when running the stage that want to read from the data lake storage that this error occures.The storage account has enabled that you can read from it with keys so that should not be the issue.Any ideas on why Snowflake can not access the data lake?

Data Cleansing Rules hangs / times out

Hi there. I‘m having trouble with a three tables in my project. What they have in common is that they are tables that I created specifically (that is not with a mapping to ODX) and populate with a Custom Table Insert.The problem seems very similar to this one: Data Clensing results in time out | Community (timextender.com)For example, I deployed and executed one of my tables yesterday evening (not a large one, about 20.000 rows). And these are the results: I’m not sure what the problem is but the tables are able to finish execution if the Custom Table Insert is set to valid, however then all my lookup fields (and fixed value fields) are null. If it’s set to raw, then the execution of the data cleansing rules seems to go on forever. In relation to the answers to the other question from @Bernarddb, then yes Operator for the lookup fields is normally always none for me (but I also don’t get exactly the same error): Some of the settings might be wrong perhaps: - Tables are not guarded on d
