In today's tech-driven world, keeping your development and testing instances in sync with your live instance is crucial. This ensures that your data is up to date and reflects the latest changes. Synchronization, and in this guide, we'll explore how to make the most of it.
From Hours to Clicks - Simplifying Server Synchronization with Jedox
In the old days, syncing instances was slower and users needed to understand navigating a labyrinth of steps, consuming valuable hours. Usually, it looked something like this:
Step 1: Exporting and Uploading Reports
Traditionally, exporting all reports in pb format from one instance and uploading them to another was the go-to method. It worked, but the time invested was significant.
Step 2: Database Dilemma
Downloading databases one by one or employing scripts was another strategy. Dealing with gigantic databases often meant resorting to backend uploads via tools like WinSCP, followed by the not-so-fun task of restarting services. However, user headaches emerged. Uploading the System Database after the second step led...
In the world of data analysis, Jedox brings some handy tools to the table - Data Drillthrough and Drill Anywhere. Let’s break down what they do and why they matter to you.
What's Data Drillthrough?
Data Drillthrough in Jedox lets you quickly access extra info without jumping around different reports. For example, if you're checking out Orders by Product and want to know more about the Customers for each product, Drillthrough has your back.
Using it is a breeze. In Jedox Views, just right-click on a number, choose Drillthrough, and bam! You get a new table with more details. You can customize it to show just what you need.And if you're using Web Spreadsheets, you can export the data as a CSV or XLSX file. One thing to keep in mind – the CSV file sticks to English number formatting, even if your language settings are different. Just import it into Excel, and you’re good to go.
Here's a quick tip: in Drillthrough results,...
Hey there, it's been a while! Today, I want to discuss creating your own success or progress charts in Jedox. These charts help us understand how things are going, like how much we sell and how much we make. We'll use info from our BikerBest data and look at four areas: East, West, North, and South. The chart will show us how much things changed from one year to the next. If something is red, it means it's the minimum value for that product in all the areas. If it's green, it means it's the maximal. We can even use different things like bars, rockets, or hearts to show the info. Fun, right?
So, let's jump right in and learn how to make our own special chart in Jedox. Don't worry, it's not hard! Just follow these steps:
Steps for creating a success chart
Pick the Numbers: Choose the things you want to show in your chart from the BikerBest data. Maybe it's...
Sometimes while loading via Relational load you might stumble upon the following error:
Cannot load data into table XXX: ERROR: portal "C_1" does not exist(load New Relational load)
Although I am not sure for the real reason of this error, it is worth of looking and Fetch Modes for PostgreSQL.
For a PostgreSQL database, you can adjust the fetch mode as follows:Buffered (default): the query result is returned with buffering. In this case, no parallel queries to the same PostgreSQL Server are possible.Full: PostgreSQL returns the query result in one block. This is potentially slower, with higher memory consumption. It should only be set if the connection is used in several components that are processed in parallel during a load, e.g. several PostgreSQL extracts that are joined in a transform, an extract, and a load on the same PostgreSQL connection or when using parallel jobs. (Note that in those cases, if the fetch mode is not set to "full" this might lead to an error...

Are you new to Jedox and want to learn how to create eye-catching charts for your reports? Combo charts in Jedox are a great way to present data that combines different types of information, and they are especially helpful when you want to visualize data in a simple and engaging way. In this beginner's guide, we'll walk you through the steps to create a combo chart in Jedox, and we'll explore the types of reports where this chart can be particularly useful.
What is a Combo Chart?
A combo chart in Jedox combines two different types of charts in one visual representation. You can have one chart type, such as columns or bars, representing one set of data, and another chart type, like a line chart, representing a different set of data on the same graph. This combination allows you to compare data sets that might have different scales or units of measurement.

The upcoming release of Jedox in 2023.3 is set to bring exciting advancements to the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process by introducing a seamless connection to Snowflake, one of the leading cloud data warehousing solutions. With this integration, users can enjoy efficient data handling with two authentication options, enhanced by considerations for roles, warehouses, and databases.
After choosing the connection there are certain credentials which need to be added.
Authentication Options:
Username and Password: This traditional method allows users to authenticate their access to Snowflake by providing their username and password. This secure authentication process ensures that only authorized individuals can access and manipulate data within Snowflake.
Private Key Configuration: For those seeking enhanced security, the new connection also supports private key authentication. Users can configure their Snowflake accounts to accept private key authentication, adding an extra layer of protection to their data.
The Jedox-Snowflake integration doesn't stop at authentication methods. It also provides valuable features to help manage roles, warehouses, and databases seamlessly:

It provides access to historical and real-time market data for various asset classes, including stocks, cryptocurrencies, forex (foreign exchange), and more. At this moment we will focus on commodity data.
The connection will be Rest type and the extract will be from JSON.
Technical details for commodities API

Canvas KPI Cards in Jedox provide a powerful way to display summary measures from your data and assess the status of an action against a target or comparison value. They were introduced with version 2023.2 and expanded Canvas capabilities to another level. These visually engaging KPI Cards allow users to track and communicate progress toward measurable goals easily.
In order to start using them you need to create a new Canvas type of report in the Report Manager. After that, from the left side, you will be able to see the Components section.
Format Tab
When you add a KPI Card to your Canvas, a dialogue box with two tabs appears on the right side of the screen. The Format tab allows you to customize properties such as name, width, padding, margin, background colour, and radius.
Moreover, the Format tab's lower section allows you to personalize the font style and alignment of different sections within the KPI Card, such as Title, Value, and Comparison.
