In this article, we will show you how to copy databases via ETL. This method does not require a service restart. All you need is a groovy script that is run in Groovy job. For this example, we will use the "Demo" database.
Groovy script
copyJedoxDatabase( 'Demo', 'Demo_Copy' )void copyJedoxDatabase( String jedoxConnectionSrc, String jedoxDatabaseDst ) {String jedoxDatabaseSrc = OLAP.getDatabase( jedoxConnectionSrc ).getName()String backupFilename = API.getProperty( "Demo_Copy" ) + jedoxDatabaseSrc + '.zip'// Remove backupFile if exists (e.g. from a previous run)new File( backupFilename ).delete()IDatabase db = OLAP.getDatabase( jedoxConnectionSrc )LOG.info( 'Saving database ' + jedoxDatabaseSrc + ' to ' + backupFilename )db.backup( backupFilename )IConnection conn = OLAP.getConnection( jedoxConnectionSrc )LOG.info( 'Restoring database ' + jedoxDatabaseDst + ' from ' + backupFilename )conn.addDatabase( jedoxDatabaseDst, backupFilename )boolean fileSuccessfullyDeleted = new File( backupFilename ).delete()}
Once the job is run, the new database will appear in the modeler.

This bug appears when we are trying to upload a cube or dimension from the modeler.
To learn more about that you can check here.
The error usually looks something like this:
One of the possible reasons why this happens could be the size of the file. If the file size is bigger than stated in the configuration file then an error could occur. Definitely, this is not the best error message but I am sure the Jedox Dev team will change this.
So, to fix this you will need to change upload_max_filesize to the size you need. After that, a restart of services is required.
In case you are on cloud ---> Just write to [email protected] and they will do it for you.
In case you are on-premise --->, you will need to go to Jedox/Jedox Suite/httpd/php/php.ini and find the line upload_max_filesize. Then restart the services....
In this article, we will explain how to change language via User properties and ways to do it. Usually, when creating a user in Jedox there are a few things you need to add in order to create it:
All of this information is stored inside the System database and _USER_USER_PROPERTIES cube.
Previously we talked about how to remove the panel from the side which uses appstate dimension element here. Today we are going to focus on how to change the language. Different users are coming from different regions and they would like to see their applications in regional languages. Sometimes it can happen that even decimal delimiters are important to them. For example, Germans use commas (,) for decimal delimiters and other dots (.). There are two ways to sort it:
From the User Setting Panel.
2. From the Integrator. This method is much better for a large number of users.
Before we start creating the ETL it's important to know where this property...
In this article, we will show you how to import different stylesheet examples inside your report.
In order to do this, we will use the stylesheet example given by Jedox which can be downloaded here.
If you don't know how to create a model check this article.
After that follow the next steps:
Step 1: Download the design system model from here: https://design-system.cloud.jedox.com/resources
Step 2: Export the DS Stylesheets report from the "//Models/Design System Templates/Configuration Reports/DS Stylesheet.wss" folder in the report designer.
Step 3: Import the report into your instance
Step 4: Configure the styles based on client requirements in the report by modifying them individually as described here: https://knowledgebase.jedox.com/models/other/configuring-design-elements.htm?Highlight=design
Step 5: Save the stylesheet report and tag it as a resource
Step 6: Insert the tagged stylesheets report as a resource in the client report where you want to apply the styles
Step 7: Use the styles in the client report....
While doing different projects we noticed that one of the repeating requirements is to export the Jedox report in Excel and then perform some additional analysis. As you know from before there are a few ways to export to excel.
xlsx - standard export
xlsx_snapshot - standard snapshot export
xlsx_olap_snapshot - OLAP snapshot export
In the case of xlsx export, data will be downloaded as a constant value. In this article, we will show you how to use the famous Excel function SUM incorporated in dynaranges.
How to create a button for exporting in Excel?
SUM in Jedox dynarange
Imagine that we have two sheets. The first one contains data in Dynarage which could be editable when exported to excel. The second sheet supposes to read all changes from the first one and sum it up accordingly.
In order to do that we will need to set up some steps:
Create name range for Products and for considered data. Remember: it is important to select one row before and after dynarange.
Create SUM function in the...
In this article, we will show you how to sort attributes in the way you like. When building dimensions in Jedox it could happen that some of them require a huge number of them. The modeler screen in normal zooming conditions can fit around 10 attributes. For all the rest we will need to use a scroller. If you are someone who works with Jedox for a few years you will notice that adding attributes on the end of the page when scrolling could be annoying. Especially because after adding any attribute manually, the page refresh and bring you back to starting position. We can resolve it by pushing the last attribute at the beginning.
There are two ways to do it:
Create attribute directly on desired position
Moving attribute around in #_MONTH_ cube
For the second case, arrows, in the end, will be blocked, so the best way is to drag and drop elements around.
Maybe at first sight useless tip, sorting manually really...
When having two servers that are running on different versions, it could happen that restoring the database backup from a newer one to an older one can lead to an error. In our case, it appeared when trying to restore the database in Modeller from 2021.4 to 2021.2.
If you are not familiar with how to restore the database from one server to another without including support, the article can be found here.
The process is simple:
Log in on your server from where you want to take the database
Go to desired database in Modeler
Right Click on it and choose Download Database...
Go to second server where you want to perform restoring the database activity
Right click on it and choose Restore Database...
IF the scenario is smooth you are ready to celebrate, but in case it's not (like below)
CODE: M_DB3 - zip operation failed : not a valid backup file,subfolders found
Perform the following steps:
Unzip the database
Find folder checksum and remove it
Zip it again
Try to perform...
Hi Jedox beginners,
How many times has it happened that while working on your super complex ETLs, the save button becomes unclickable?
It can become really annoying problem, especially if you spent a decent amount of time in front of the PC.
Until now, the problem could be solved by:
Clicking Test button before and then pop up with "Save button" will appear
Log out, delete cache and log in again.
Since both solutions bring anxiety to your hands, simple CTRL + S typing on the keyboard is enabling the SAVE button again.
Click now and thank us later....
There is a well-known bug in Jedox in which the error pop-up ends with JDX_SID not found.
It is usually happening in the extract component of Integrator and it is related to a connection to a file, especially if the file is located in the JedoxFiles folder.
The way to resolve this is very simple and it required some adjustments in the config.php file.
More about configuration files can be found here.
cookie secure flag set to false;
//cookie secure flagdefine('CFG_COOKIE_SECURE',false);
cookie samesite policy set to "Lax"; (Don't forget to add " " )
//cookie samesite policy('Lax','Strict' or 'None')define('CFG_COOKIE_SAMESITE','Lax');
After making those two changes your extract should be working.
The change will take effect after a full-service restart....
In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of crafting a calendar widget within the Jedox platform. This endeavor requires the presence of a Day dimension enriched with an additional attribute named 'NextDay.' The overarching goal is to fashion a dynamic calendar capable of accommodating additional dimensions, effectively transforming it into a versatile data planning hub. This widget can prove invaluable for various use cases such as task planning, reminders, and monitoring planning cycles availability, all achieved seamlessly within a spreadsheet environment without the need for any coding expertise. Basic familiarity with Excel is all that is required.
Creating the Time Dimension
The foundation of our calendar widget is laid with the creation of a Time dimension. Utilizing a straightforward dimension creation approach, we will employ the Dimension Template 'Day.' This template will undergo augmentation with an extra attribute known as 'NextDay,' dynamically generated through Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes. The 'NextDay' attribute serves as a representation of the following day...
