That sounds very good the way you describe it. I would like to see if youre able to debug write to log the variable $(Internal.Entry.Current.Directory). Is this used as the path for the other jobs/transformations too? Im sorry Im not able to provide more useful help here, I havent seen your error before. ...

When did the error appear? When you added the subjob Workflow? How is the path configured for this subjob? Is it possible to replace that subjob with an empty job that only logs some debug text to log?

Remove all steps. Then add first step only. See if it executes without error. Then add 1 more step, incrementally checking for errors. Is it possible to find which step (if any) causes this error?

Yes we have Mysql as the bottom database and Mondrian on top of that. We ended up switching to Tableau using the same Mysql database. Tableau has its own problems, but not with the caching and not seeing newly arrived facts.

We dropped Mondrian years ago because of problems with caching. It became a nightmare to manage, riddled with bugs or unforeseen situations.

Ok thanks, you are right it doesnt matter with the semi-colon. I guess it doesnt matter to explicitly declare the end when its only a single query. But the double quotes sounds very strange to me. Take this example: SELECT * FROM TEST_TABLE WHERE ID = 1; This query is returning all rows where the String ...

You should make yourself some improved practices when working with SQL. 1) Never use space in names (column names, table names, database names...) And when you ask your question here, you quickly jumped from one example to another. I suggest sticking to one example at the time. In your second example ...

This is a different case? Are you not supposed to finish the sql query with a semi-colon? This query would ONLY return rows IF the variable serial has the value Serial Number.

I have never found any satisfying documentation for the dirty details of result rows. It seems like nobody knows exactly how this works. Only way to find out is test yourself. Thats what I did. What I found was similar to what you describe here. For example if you in a transformation get the result rows ...

Just a couple of notes depending of versions, dialects etc. If I was to reference a column which is the same as a reserved keyword (name), I would encapsulate it like this: `name`. Also if I were to take an equal test like you have in with the where, Id encapsulate it in single or double quotes like ...

Why not do this using SQL instead? I use the date as a variable for this SQL, handled on job level: INSERT INTO DIM_DATE (ID, `YEAR`, `QUARTER`, `MONTH`, `WEEK`, `DAY`, `DATE`, YEAR_NAME, QUARTER_NAME, MONTH_NAME, WEEK_NAME, DAY_NAME) SELECT $(DIM_DATE) AS ID, YEAR(from_unixtime($(DIM_DATE))) ...

I thought the default log table (tables?) was made generic for all transformations? Or is it 1 table per transformation? What would your columns be for other transformations, null? Sounds like you need to edit the source code and compile your own version if you want different behavior from the standard ...

I didnt understand much of that hehe, maybe Im on an older version. I dont have a palette on creation or elsewhere. I go to Design tab next to View tab, that has a list of available steps. When I need to insert rows, I would go to Output-->Table output. There is no lookup in database, but I do find a ...

Populating a fact table should be the same as populating a dimension table? Youre looking for a step that can convert incoming fields into an sql INSERT query? Ive used Table output to populate more than 40 fact tables. Works like a charm. If you need something more fancy, Execute SQL script works good ...

This was actually a fun exercise to do in java!
