TimeXtender Desktop Q&A

Hi,I got a data source with multiple databases(22) with equal tables, views, etc.TX ver 20.10 I was able to add databases in the "Additional Connections" for the “SQL Server data source”.  How about the new TX version.. can I do the same? It would save me a lot of work when selecting tables and setting up incr load rulesregards,Bjørn A. 

Hi, I must use tenant_id (company specifict) when authorize my endpoint with OAuth2 (credentials in body and request header).Parameters are client_id, client_secret, tenant_id, etcI really dont want to create a connection for each of my tenant_id's. So my question…How can I use dynamic values to update authentication for each tenant_id? regards,Bjørn A.

Question; I have a project that contains the CDATA Google Ads connector. I need the view ShoppingProducts that was added recently to the connector:Unfortunately I can't find in in Data Selection. Is seems to be added in version / build 9053 of the connector but TX shows me version 9036 is the latest:I have resynchronized the source but as you can see below it’s not in the list:Is the latest CDATA connector available in some way?BR\Dirk

Hi,TimeXtender v.6848.1Can we use Sql version Microsoft SQL Azure (RTM) - 12.0.2000.8   Oct  2 2024 11:51:41   Copyright (C) 2022 Microsoft Corporation as our ingested database?I keep getting this error loading the tablesThe execution failed with error:Exception Type: Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlExceptionMessage: Reference to database and/or server name in 'xxxxxx.sys.extended_properties' is not supported in this version of SQL Server. best regards,Bjørn A.

HiJust upgraded existing TX ingest and Data Integration to latest versions 6848.1 on dev server and now I get a failure when running my ODX Data Source steps, specifically it seems just what used to be know as the synchronise step but now called the import metadata task. Originally each data source has 3 steps, synchronise, transfer and storage management, and they used to run fine. Now I get seemingly random job fail errors on what looks like so far just on what was the synchronise step.If I run the failed step manually it processes without issue. However, when I run the entire ODX job I have set up it seems that one or more data source sync steps now fails. The execution failed with error:Exception Type: Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlExceptionMessage: Transaction (Process ID 76) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.             Stack Trace: at Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException e

This is a follow-up of Using XML to ingest data, that i have managed to solve.I need some help with creating a nested statement. The first rsd which lists out all the IDs is this:<api:script xmlns:api="http://apiscript.com/ns?v1" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <!-- See Column Definitions to specify column behavior and use XPaths to extract column values from XML. --> <api:info title="contract" desc="Generated schema file." xmlns:other="http://apiscript.com/ns?v1"> <attr name="contractid" xs:type="string" readonly="false" other:xPath="/Envelope/Body/contracts/contract@contractid" /> <attr name="description" xs:type="string" readonly="false" other:xPath="/Envelope/Body/contracts/contract@description" /> </api:info> <api:set attr="DataModel" value="RELATIONAL" /> <api:set attr="URI" value="https://my.soap.endpoint/service.asmx?WSDL" /> <api:set attr="PushAttributes" value="true" /> <api:s

Hi, I have a customer for whom with PoC, we need to connect Oracle Data Source using API. Need help on either documentation Or how to connect the same. Anyone has experience to connect, please share.

I wanted to ask if others have experienced issues with the TimeXtender_Ingest_Service_6823.1.For the second time, I’ve encountered problems with opening the ODX, where it gets stuck during the process. When attempting to restart the Ingest service, it remains in a "stopping" state and fails to restart properly.To resolve this, I’ve had to manually force the TimeXtender_Ingest_Service_6823.1 to stop using the Command Prompt. Once the service has been forced to stop, I can restart it successfully, and afterward, the ODX opens without issue.Has anyone else encountered similar problems? If so, are there any recommendations or fixes to prevent this from occurring again?Looking forward to your insights.

Hello,I'm facing an issue with how TimeXtender handles special Swedish characters (å, ä, ö) when querying data from an Oracle database through the ODBC data source. I have a view that contains a column with the data type (VARCHAR2) in the Oracle DB. When loading the data to TimeXtender the special characters appear as question marks (å), a (ä), and o (ö).  However, when I create a Query Table and use CAST(CF$_PLAN AS VARCHAR2(1000)) on the same column the special characters are retrieved correctly to TimXtender.   I have queried DUMP from the database to check that the column’s special characters are stored with proper UTF-8 encoded values, and they are.I have also checked the NLS settings for the Oracle database, the TX application server and the ODBC connection.Is there a way for these special characters to be retrieved correctly to TimeXtender without having to use CAST in Query Tables?I use TimeXtender Data Integration 6822.1 and TimeXtender Ingest Service 6823.1. The ODBC Driver u

Dear Sir,We are looking for following.E-mail notifications when an Ingest ODX Data Source Data Transfer Task is failing to load the data from the source application/database.Is this possible in TX version 6766.1 ?Or do we need an upgrade. Regards from Venray.Arthur

Hello,We are using TimeXtender classic ODX server (20.10.51) to ingest data. Some of our data sources are located in Azure in form of Azure Synapse / Azure SQL.Are there any guides on how to setup data ingestion from Azure to on-premises ODX server?I.e. what are prerequisites from Azure side (service principal / managed identity?) to connect and what connectors should be used from the ones available in ODX server?I know this is possible from cloud version of TX, but is it possible to do so from classic version? Thank you

Hi All, I try to add my Fabric LakeHouse as a new source in TimeXtender version 20.10.50.64 but I keep getting an error when I try to read objects from datasource eventhough it says connection is succesfull.Data source settingsI copy the SQL connection string from my lakehouse and put it as server name. When I do "Read object from data source” I get the following error. The weird thing is that when I try these exact same stept in SSMS I can see the table from the source with the data in it. Am I missing some steps? 

I’m trying the new timextender excel data source but I keep getting errors. I have upgraded to TimeXtender Ingest Service 6823.1 and TimeXtender Data Integration 6822.1.I am trying to load a really basic excel file. First I tried the ‘Infer data types’ option. It succesfully detected the datatypes but I still end up with an error in the last step of the metadata manager.Service request failed: The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type nvarchar of the specified target column. (System.InvalidOperationException)It does not say which column is the issue.After this I tried to disable the ‘infer data types’. It shows all my source columns as text but I still end up with the same error. Lastly I tried to override the data types to varchar(max). Still the same error. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?  

Hi,Have anyone succeeded with a Soap 1.2 call from ODX?We have a source that only have a Soap interface. I've done a lot of testing but so far very little success.For the moment it complains about my content-type header. Don't know why. I'm using the rest connector. Perhaps I should use a xml connector instead. If anyone could share a working example I would be more than happy. Perhaps it's not possible at all. I'm not sure. RegardsAnders Bengtsson

Hi, I have a unity catalog in azure databricks where I want to connect to from Timextender (20.10.44), I installed the Cdata connector for Databricks (2024) and am able to connect via test connection (succesfully connected) but when i try to save TX has issues with the length of the (Protocol ?) version which is empty but also using 1 till 8 which are available in the drop down list all result in the same errorWhat do I need to do in order to get his working? Kind regards,  

Hi I want to download the latest version of TDI and Ingest Service which is 6823.1. But when I use the link to download, it still gives 6822.1. Can you please share the link for the same to download.Also can someone share the link to download 6766.1 with Ingest Services.

Dear Sir,In some Deliver Instances Semantic Models we can not use the right click table option Go to Source Object. It is greyed out. So TX user A created the Deliver Instance SSL and populated it with tables.But TX user B can not use the right click table option Go to Source Object, it is greyed out.But both users have Grand Access to the Deliver Instance config in the Portal.The data lineage is working fine.What am I overlooking. Some security setting ?Somebody has an idea ?Thanks in advance. Regards,Arthur

Hi,We are trying to connect to several CSV files stored in a local folder. While we can successfully synchronize the data source and perform a full load in the ODX, we encounter an error when attempting to add the table to our data area (DSA).The issue lies in the path to the Parquet file stored in Azure. The correct path should be:CSV_DNB/csv_*/DATA_2024_11_28__11_09_50_2219585/DATA/DATA_0000.parquet However, the path Timextender is looking for is:CSV_DNB/csv_^*/DATA_2024_11_28__11_09_50_2219585/DATA/DATA_0000.parquet It seems that Timextender is misinterpreting the automatically generated name and adds a ^ character.I also attempted to use a specific file aggregation pattern, such as;H100.*.csv(all files in folder have the prefix H100 followed by a random number). However, I encountered the same error. Is there a way to specify the name of the table generated in the ODX? It seems like the “File aggregation pattern” is the issue. Do you have any idea how to fix this?  -Execute Executi

Case:In the DSA I have two tables (Employee and Employee Addresses).The fist table has history in it from the source system (so no TX  history active).On the second table we have TX History active (Type II) .

Hi all,We are unable to run two execution packages concurrently on the same instance. They are scheduled using Jobs. The packages have no common tables involved. We have made sure to check the other package under “Concurrent packages” under Edit Execution Package (and deploying after).Is running packages concurrently supposed to work when scheduled using Jobs?Will it be supported with Orchestration?Thanks for any input!Version: 6766.1

Hi,we have created a new datasource for Azure Active Directory(Entra ID) via “cdata ado.netprovider for azure active directory 2022”de sync task runs ok but the transfer task keeps giving a completed with error signal.

The error we are getting is(first part of the error): Executing table azuread_users:failed with error:System.Data.CData.AzureAD.AzureADException (0x80004005): [500] Could not execute the specified command: [Authentication_RequestFromUnsupportedUserRole] User is not in the allowed roles.  ---> cjo220x.BG: [Authentication_RequestFromUnsupportedUserRole] User is not in the allowed roles.  ---> cjo220x.Qt: [Authentication_RequestFromUnsupportedUserRole] User is not in the allowed roles.please advise us how to handle this. thank you in advance,Bob van Ierssel

It seems like we have packages within a process which are stuck on “running”:Exmon DG DesktopIf I check the “Process Queue” in the webportal, like this post suggested, I can’t find anything running.Is there another way to stop these packages? Or maybe they are not running at all, the desktop application just says so.We’ve tried to restart the virtual machine where the services are running.We’re running TimeXtender Data Governance 23.3.0.40 (aka Exmon) and TimeXtender Data Integration 6814.1.
