ADO.net mechanics

Hi all,We’re trying to troubleshoot some thorny networking issues, and I need to know more about how ADO.net data transfer works behind the scenes - specifically for old-school business unit SQL Server data sources, if that makes a difference. I know for sure is that data is read from the data source and written into the destination table in the staging database, but I’m fuzzier on what happens between the two places. To start off with, I have two key questions: We’re using a tool server to run TimeXtender, and a different server to host SQL Server and the TimeXtender databases. Is data routed through the that tool server when it is read via the ADO.net package? I assume that it is, but we need to know for sure. The other question I have is what happens after the data is pulled from the data source? Is it pulled into memory somewhere? If so, where? The source server, the tool server, the destination data server, or some combination of the three? Is the data ever written to disk anywher

ADO.NET Transfer consistently slow on incremental table with no new rows

Hi! I am experiencing an issue with ADO.NET transfer times on incrementally loaded tables where the ADO.NET transfer takes the same amount of time regardless of the amount of new rows coming into the table. A full load of the table containing about 45 million rows takes about 25 minutes, on the next incremental load the load time is still the same with ADO.NET taking up around 24 of these minutes. Our current data flow is as follows: SQL server → TimeXtender → Azure elastic pool (this is where all of our TimeXtender databases resides) Full load - 45 million rows Incremental load - 11 thousand new rows in the _R table The amount of new rows coming in to the table Has anyone experienced a similar issue? My best guess is that the problem resides in the azure elastic pool where the ado.net transfer is being throttled. Even if I have 0 rows in the _R table the ADO.NET transfer time is the same. Thank you!

ODX Server filter on column in all tables

Hi community, I’m using version V6221.1. I’d like to filter all tables in the data source on column ‘dataAreaId’. I try to set this up using the following settings: Do I really need to set this filter on every table I load from this data source? Or is this a bug?

Not supported SQL server version

I’m testing out the new version of TimeXtender. I’ve downloaded the newest version of SQL Server that was suggested in the training material. I’ve created ODX and MDW instance, when I try to deploy a table in the MDW instance I get the following error: Not supported in current SQL version Version:Microsoft SQL Server 2022 (RTM) - 16.0.1000.6 (X64) Oct 8 2022 05:58:25 Copyright (C) 2022 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0 <X64> (Build 22621: ) (Hypervisor)

Update table when extra columns are added in ODX

Hey,I face this issue quite frequently and have not found out how to solve it yet so I’m hoping someone on here can tell me how to do this.I have a REST data source in which I make a selection of columns. I drag that table into the DSA layer, rename some columns and voila, I have my table. Now I found out that I need some additional columns from the data source so I go into my ODX and in the table selection I include those columns as well. The transfer is succesful and I have my data with additional columns. Now here comes my problem.I want to sync my table with the data source and add those additional columns to my existing table. When I right-click-drag the table into the DSA layer I can sync, smart sync and sync only with existing fields. The first options adds all columns to the bottom of my table (including the ones I already have). The other two options only sync the columns that I already have…Hope that someone can help me out as I face this more often in development.

scheduler not working after deployment

hi,each time we do a deployment from DEV-PROD, the Txt scheduler is not working anymore. We use an older version of Txt (20.10.6.64) but still, the scheduler uses a wake up step that will d&e 1 table (retries=3, retries per step=3 and retry delay in min=5). If the step is successful, the next step will be executed. But since we deployed from DEV-PROD the scheduler is not starting anymore. Have removed the Wakeup step and created a new Wakeup have reboot the PROD machine (azure) but still no result. Can you pls tell me what needs to be done, it is urgent,thanks!!Mrt

HTTP 404 error on incremental load with update & delete detection

I am using ODX version 6143.1. When loading a table from a source system, incremental load on a datetime column (with an offset of 7 days) works fine. But when I set up the incremental load rule with Detect deletes and Detect updates selected, the first incremental load (which is the initial load) runs successful, but a second load (which should be the increment) gives me a 404 HTTP error:Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (The specified path does not exist.). Edit: problem only arises when setting the Delete detection option. When I remove this checkbox, the 404 error disappears (so the Detect primary key updates option does work correct).

Job Scheduling broke / Greyed out executions

Dear comunity and support,This morning my Job scheduling broke and it does not seem to go online anymore.I'm running the new 6221 version and I have three issues:I have an ‘invalid’ job. I've reset the services and re-added the instances to the Execution server but nothing seems to fix it. At first I was not able to add Data warehouse execution packages to a job, but then I read that you can't schedule ODX and Data warehouse executions in one job. So i stopped the ODX Server service on windows and was then able to add the jobs and run them. This was going fine until I showed my collegues. How can I fix the job? I cannot add Data warehouse executions to my Job. Most of the time I cannot see the packages. I find the packages when I deselect the ‘Hide objects that can't be added’, but I cannot add them. During a brief time I was able to add them, when i stoped the ODX Server Service, but this must have been a fluke as I cannot imagine that I have to stop services to get a certain resu

Problem with creating Jobs

I am facing a problem when creating a job in the new TX version. I have two instances called ‘Ontwikkel’ (dev) and ‘Productie’ (production).I have copied my dev instance to production and now I want to set up a job to execute the production instance and several SSL's in production.I have created an execution package with all the MDW tables that need to be executed and this package was copied to the production instance. I also have several SSL's that point to the production instance as source.Now, when I add a new job (on the production environment), all looks well. I add the package and the SSL's and schedule the job:After that, then I re-open the Job and suddenly all selected execution objects have changed to the DEV (ONTW) version of the same objects: Am I doing something wrong or is this a (pretty nasty) bug?

Intermittent execution issues

I’m regularly running into the “Cannot open server 'sql-instances-prod' requested by the login. Client with IP address '125.7.127.171' is not allowed to access the server.” error message, especially during overnight executions by the execution scheduler.But I can’t replicate the connection issue, i.e. it seems to be intermittent:Has anybody else encountered this issue and do you know what would be causing it / what the workaround might be?

Run transfer job only when ODX transfer task completed without errors

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?

Extracting data from External-database

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”-format. How can we solve this problem? As mentioned, the tables are query tables and therefore we would like to think that the date-formatting could be solved with a CAST or a CONVERT function. Any ideas?2- In

Transfering multiple tables from Theobald Error while copying content to stream

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 System.Net.Http.StreamToStreamCopy.StartAsync() --- End of inner exce
