TimeXtender Desktop Q&A

I would like to test this new functionality.I’ve read: https://support.timextender.com/deliver-109/rest-api-endpoint-1808?tid=1808&fid=109But I can't understand how to send the tables from the SSL instance to the target DB using this technique. Can you explain me with a clearer example? 

Hi, I'm currenty developing the GA4 connector in TimeXtender. With some other tips and tricks of other posts it was quite simple to create the connection. At this moment I have 7 different properties from where all data should be loaded. I've read multiple posts but haven't found a solution to extract data dynamically over a list of properties.  Current setup:CData Connector -- Google Analytics In this connector I can filter on property ID. TimeXtender -- v6xxxx + ODX Creating managed Queries to filter the relevant data from [GlobalAccessObject]. But haven't found a property id in this list.  I think that currently the only option is to create for each property one connection. Or has someone found another solution?

Hi, we are in a project to update our on premise ERP system Infor to the current version Infor LN CE which is running on the cloud. Since we cannot access the database then directly we are currently checking how to ingest the data to TimeXtender in future. There is a tool within the ERP suite to provide the data to "Infor Data Fabric" which is an Amazon S3 data lake where the ERP data is stored in JSON files. This data fabric provides a SQL Endpoint to query the data. So similar architecture as in MS fabric with lakehouses. The data can be queried in two ways:- JDBC: using a JDBC driver with API Gateway authentification, see    Link- API: handle API request in a certain order to start a query job, aks its status and get the results, see

Hello everyone,I'm facing an issue with TimeXtender when trying to retrieve tables containing datetimeoffset columns through the Generic ODBC Data Source connector. The datetimeoffset columns aren’t coming through, and in the ODBC settings, the option to override datetime types is greyed out, which I thought might solve the issue.Has anyone encountered this or found a workaround to retrieve datetimeoffset data through ODBC in TimeXtender?Thanks in advance!

Hi!Getting this error when I try to open the Dev instance. Test and Prod is OK.I could open an earlier version of the project but after I made some changes and tried to save and deploy, I first got a warning that said that this was not the latest version. When I chose to save anyway, I got the same error. Is there some way to “force save” to make this earlier version the latest one and get rid of the error?

Hi,I was wondering  if it's possible to use multiple ODX instances for different enviroments (DEV/ACC/PRD).I know that at 20.10 you could only use a single ODX as after multiple enviroment transfer all mapping to ODX would be lost when using multiple ODX instances Is this still the case? Is this issue solved in next-gen?  

Hi everyone,I'm facing an issue where one of the columns in my destination table has the same name as a SQL function, and because of this, I'm unable to retrieve it in a normal way. To work around this problem, I wanted to use the Query Table Tool to retrieve the column in a parameterized way.However, for this specific data source (which is a Generic ODBC Data Source), the Query Table Tool option is greyed out. I've noticed that the Query Table Tool is available for other data source types.Has anyone encountered this issue before?Thanks in advance!

Hi,which kinds of security are available for REST Endpoints and how should they be implemented? Can you directly use row-level security in the Deliver instance? 

Using the TimeXtender Dynamics 365 Business Central - Online connector, I'm having trouble filtering columns in the ODX. With all columns selected everything is fine, but once I make a selection in columns I get the error below when running the Transfer Task. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?

Hi all,I have a customer that has to deal with an unreliable source system. During transfering specific query tables, it sometimes fails. As there is no retry option on this level, at least we can do right now is to inform the customer that things went wrong.  Unfortunately the TimeXtender API does not tell us there is anything wrong with this run. The “State” is 2, and all the child “JobExecutionLogs” child entries below the job itself all have the “Severity” value of 0. Does someone recognize this situation? Anything we can do differently to inform the customer?

Dear Sir,I am connecting through Cdata to Sharepoint Online.I have hierarchies in my Sharepoint data, I can see them when I connect with PowerBI to my Sharepoint site. Can I use the Data Model feature ‘Flatten Documents’ like you can with JSon connectivity ?It looks like CData for Sharepoint Online doesn't have this capability. Can I somehow bring these ‘hidden fields’ into my TimeXtender  project ?In the attachment (Knipsel.PNG) you can see the hierarchical option in PowerBI with PowerQuery. I miss these fields when I connect with TX Cdata to the same Sharepoint site.Hope you can shine a light on this.Thank you in advance for looking into this case. Regards,Arthur 

 Hi,I’m am trying to create a ODBC data source connection in the TimeXtender ODX portal.I have created a ODBC data source on the server on which TimeXtender is run, see picture below.

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 Sou

I’m trying to connect to Business Central Online using the Time Xtender connector. I’m using a service principal which has an app registration in Azure and I’ve run through all the steps in the BC/TX tutorial.I’m getting the following error message when I try to add the data source.

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

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?

Hi!I’m doing some tests and trying to set up som e form of incremental load with this connector to an API endpoint. It works fine with the two static parameters but as soon as I add the parameter for lastSynchronizedRowVersion with its dynamic value I get an error with I run the Synchronize job.Is there something obvious that I have missed here?I tried to follow the article Connect to Fixer IO with the TimeXtender REST data source | CommunitySetup for the endpoint: Error message:

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

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?  

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. 

HiI have an issue whereby I get the following message when running the ‘Report / Errors’ menu option in one of my data areas. However, when I click OK I do not get any further information to help me identify the issue. Please advise what I need to do to troubleshoot this further.TimeXtender Data Integration version 6745.1Thanks

Good DayIs there a way to be notified when a scheduled Execution Package does not run on the scheduled time?We had a scheduled package not able to run due to a lock on a table but were not aware as there was no error on the job since it was not able to start. Would like to be made aware of these issues instead of having to check each day to see if scheduled jobs ran.Kerry

Dear Community,I’m having some issues with connecting to the Azure Active Directory. We want to use this data for RLS and feed this from the DWH.I’ve set up the Active Directory Connector and put in credentials:  After a minute or so I get an timeout. If I leave out the OAuth stuff I get an not authorized. What do I need to set up here to get the data from the AAD? Thanks!
