TimeXtender Desktop Q&A

I have the following set of tables: A (key1, key2) B (key2, key3) In that case, every key1 can have multiple key2 attributes in table A and every key2 can have multiple key3 attribues in table B. When I would use a conditional lookup field for table A to get key3, it would only give me one of the key3 attribues, is it possible to take all values? I know I could do it with a simple custom view left joining on key2, but is there are recommended way to do it in Discovery Hub without custom views? So the goal table should be like C (key1, key2, key3)

Dear TimeXtender's Team,What is choice to setting rounding in TimeXtender if we want to set up decimal ? Like example .. in Original Data is $12,3456, we just want the result is $12,34 (2 decimal)because in TX, it will be $12,35Thank you,

In one of my single text files is a field which is actually a GML field. When i'm trying to deploy and execute this field as varchar(4000) it gives me the following error: 'string or binary data would be truncated' So I wanted to override data type vut this seems to be impossible when your data source is a single text file. So I tried something else, i made an Excel file of my csv file and read objects from data source as Excel, but then my GML field isn't even visible in the data selection tab. is there another possible way to insert my GML file in TimeXtender without getting an error?

I'm trying to create a hierarchy of GL accounts and the category they belong to. (i.e. Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Income Expenses).However the Hierarchy is displaying alphabetically.  If it were to be sorted by the first GL account it's associated with, it would sort correctly since GL accounts are numbered in the proper sequence.However, when I tell the Dimension, "Parent Category" (which is the Assets, Liabilities etc) to sort by Attribute Key, when I deploy I get an error saying it can't be used as an attribute because it is not related.Is there a workaround to this?

Hi guys,Can someone elaborate the different options of table truncation? I can't really find it in the help or e-learning. We have set up an incremental load on a large table in the ODX, initially in simple mode. We found that the data after deployment & execution exists in the valid table and in the raw table, occupying twice the available storage of the original table size. We then disabled simple mode and checked the truncate raw table before transfer. I now still see some records (not all of them) in the raw table. I guess I'll have to check "Empty raw table after data cleansing" to completely empty the raw table after reloading, but I can't really grasp the difference between these options. 

Hi TX Support,I wanna know how to implementing scalar function with COALESCE in TX ? Here I attach the function, could you please tell me how to do that?USE [QAD_DATA]GO/****** Object: UserDefinedFunction [dbo].[GetAliasesByWo1] Script Date: 03/20/2018 16:15:04 ******/SET ANSI_NULLS ONGOSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[GetAliasesByWo1](@item nvarchar(max),@length float,@catego nvarchar(max),@opt nvarchar(max))RETURNS varchar(max)ASBEGINdeclare @output varchar(max)select @output = COALESCE(@output + ', ', '') + wo_lot + '=' + convert(nvarchar, wo_qty_ord)FROM wo_mstr_datawhere wo_part = @item andwo__dec01 = @length andwo__chr01 = @catego andRIGHT(wo_rmks,1) = @opt andwo_status = 'R' andSUBSTRING(wo_routing,1,6) = 'REWORK'return @outputEND 

Hi community,We are trying to get a csv. file as a data source in the Discovery Hub.We've tried the 'Edit single text file', but when we import the columns, it doesn't give us the data in these columns.You got any idea how to handle these csv. files in the Discovery Hub?

HI  I am having a OLAP cube and a standard measure which needs to be in hh:mm format. currently the number is coming in float. Guidance much appreciated.

Hi,I have a source table in Navision which contains inventory data. The data is sometimes changed back in time due to miscellaneous reasons. I have so far handled this with change tracking in Sql Server and then I do a merge statement that either inserts new data or does an update on older data already in the fact table.So my question is how could I handle this in TX and do a incremental load?Regards Birkir

Hi all I recently changed the environment properties of the development environment to have the AX data source point to the live environment instead of the test environment. I hoped that executing (without deploying) the staging area would refill all staging tables with live data instead of test data (all full loads, no incrementals), but it didn't. In fact, what needs to be done, is deploying by manually marking all tables to be redeployed in the deployment screen, as nothing has changed according to TimeXtender. Is it possible to make the SSIS package connections dynamically looking at the environment properties (this way an execute would suffice)? Or mark the staging tables to be redeployed? TimeXtender version 16.8.1.64; project is using SSIS. Thanks!

I can see the custom data on the table when I go and check advanaced. How to know where does it exactly points to? I am trying to find the location and file name of the excel sheet I loaded.
