There are no specific errors or retries. Review and compare execution logs Right-click on a package => View Execution History Log Review Gantt charts for fast and slow execution to compare objects, steps and timings. Check to see if overall number of objects or steps have increased.    View Tools menu => Instance Execution Overview Log. Review various measures and drill-down to various objects.  Two examples are shown below:  Right-Click on data warehouse or a table => Execution Overview Log  When you turn on logging (execution package settings => Log Execution time and Log Row Count check boxes), it will show how fast a table ran and how many rows were transferred.Compare slow and fast executions, looking at timings and number of rows.  Environment, machine and network factors Review Windows Event Viewer logs for errors or warnings related to ODX Service and TimeXte

Use inSided Communities to boost event RegistrationBest practise

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a quick tip on using your community to increase event registration for your next event! We recently ran an event on the importance of Customer Success in 2020 and we saw a massive 70% of our event registrations come from signups on our community! What did we do? We simply set up an event on our community—announcing what we planned to cover and who would be speaking—and enabled event registration directly on the community. We also found that those who wanted to ask questions about the event did so in the comments section, which really got people excited about the topics we would be covering. What was also fantastic was that we saw those that attended the event kept the discussion going in the weeks after on the community too! So, definitely, for your next event be sure to use your community! ?

Using user-groups for beta programsBest practise

We’re always updating our users on new features we launch via the community. It’s such a great way to communicate on a 1-to-many basis with our customers. Additionally, what’s even better is that we have started to launch beta testing groups on our community where we invite a certain number of customers to test new features before we release them.   Not only does this allow us to iron out any bugs before a full roll-out, it also creates a real feeling of collaboration and togetherness between us and our customers. Such a great way to make sure you are building a product that really meets the needs of your end users!
