Odata

Overview

OData is the connector type for OData service sources. In the repository seed data it is stored as OData with ConnectorTypeID = 12, the description OData service, OLE DB behavior disabled, and the Azure source type OData.

Function

Use the OData connector type when a connector should read source metadata from an OData service endpoint.

When OData is selected in the Connector detail page, AnalyticsCreator hides the connection-string and Template controls and shows the Url, Authentication, and Test connection controls. The authentication modes are None, Windows, and Basic. Login and Password fields are shown only when Basic authentication is selected.

Testing an OData connector appends $metadata to the service URL and sends an HTTP request to the metadata endpoint. Windows authentication uses the current network credentials. Basic authentication sends the configured login and password. Saving stores the OData URL, authentication mode, login, and encrypted password, then refreshes the navigation tree.

Access

OData connector type configuration is opened through the common connector editor. The connector type itself is selected in the Connector type field.

Screen overview

The Connector detail page contains the following visible fields and actions when the OData connector type is selected.

ID	Property	Description
1	You can use #ENCRYPTED_STRING# alias instead of plain-text passwords. You can add encrypted string using Options->Encrypted strings	Help text shown at the top of the Connector page. For OData, the password is encrypted when it is saved.
2	Connector name	Connector name. Saving requires a non-empty value.
3	Connector type	Select OData.
4	Azure source type	Stores the Azure source type associated with the connector. The seeded OData connector type uses OData.
5	Do not store connection string in CFG.SSIS__Configurations	Stores the common connector flag. The OData connector itself stores URL and authentication fields instead of a connection string.
6	Url	OData service URL. Test connection appends $metadata to this URL before sending the request.
7	Authentication	Authentication mode. Available values are None, Windows, and Basic. New OData connectors default to None.
8	Login	Login field shown when Basic authentication is selected.
9	Password	Password field shown when Basic authentication is selected. The password is encrypted before it is stored.
10	Test connection	Requests the OData metadata endpoint. Windows authentication uses current network credentials; Basic authentication sends the configured login and password.
11	Save	Saves the connector, stores the OData URL, authentication mode, login, and encrypted password, refreshes the navigation tree, and reloads the saved connector page.
12	Cancel	Returns to the previous page. If there are unsaved changes, AnalyticsCreator asks whether to save or cancel the navigation.

List behavior

The Connectors list filters by connector name, connector type id, connection string, locale, code page, or format.
The list grid shows ConnectorName, ConnectorType, and ConnectionString.
Double-clicking a connector opens it in the Connector detail page.
New opens a new Connector detail page. Delete removes the selected connector after confirmation.

Connector actions

The Connectors branch provides Refresh, List connectors, Add connector, Import connector from file, and Import connector from cloud.
A selected connector provides Set diagram filter, Add to diagram filter, Edit connector, Delete connector, DWH Wizard, Refresh used sources, Refresh all sources, Export connector to file, and Export connector to cloud.
The OData connector type is displayed with the web-service connector icon when connector nodes are rendered.

design (stg, core, dm) core concept analyticscreator is a metadata-driven design application that generates sql-based data warehouse structures, transformation logic, and orchestration components. instead of manually implementing etl processes, developers define metadata, which is translated into executable database objects and pipelines. the process follows a generation-driven approach: connect to source systems import metadata (tables, columns, keys, relationships) generate a draft data warehouse model using the wizard refine transformations, keys, and historization generate and deploy sql artifacts and pipelines execute data loading and processing workflows a key architectural element is the persistent staging layer (stg): source data is stored persistently after extraction supports reprocessing without re-reading the source system decouples ingestion from transformation and historization in practice, staging is followed by a second layer where historization is applied before data is transformed into core structures (dimensions and facts). quick start flow the implementation process in analyticscreator follows a defined sequence: create repository initialize a metadata repository (sql server database) that stores all definitions of the data warehouse. create connectors define connections to source systems (e.g. sap, sql server) and enable metadata

AnalyticsCreator","type":"section","path":"/docs/getting-started/understanding-analytics-creator","breadcrumb":"Getting Started › Understanding AnalyticsCreator","description":"","searchText":"getting started understanding analyticscreator analyticscreator is a metadata-driven design application for building and automating data warehouses and analytical models. instead of manually implementing etl and sql logic, developers define metadata such as sources, keys, relationships, transformations, and loading behavior. analyticscreator uses these definitions to generate database objects, pipelines, and semantic models. how analyticscreator works the workflow in analyticscreator starts with a repository, continues with source metadata import, and then uses a wizard to generate a draft data warehouse model. that model is refined, synchronized into sql objects, deployed to the target environment, and finally executed through generated workflows or pipelines. create a repository define or import connectors import source metadata run the data warehouse wizard refine the generated model synchronize the structure deploy artifacts execute workflows consume data through data marts and semantic models repository and metadata every analyticscreator project is based on a repository. the repository is a sql server database that stores the full metadata definition of the data warehouse. this includes connectors, source objects, transformations, keys, relationships, deployment settings, and other object definitions. the repository is the design-time control layer and the source for all generated artifacts. this means the target database is not modeled manually. instead, analyticscreator reads the repository metadata and generates the required sql structures from it. generated code can run independently after deployment because analyticscreator is used as a design-time application, not as a runtime dependency. connectors and metadata import analyticscreator connects to source systems such as sql server or sap and imports structural metadata including tables, columns, keys, and references. in some scenarios, metadata can also be imported through metadata connectors, which makes it possible to model a data warehouse without an active connection to the live source system during design. imported metadata is stored in the repository and later used by the wizard to generate the draft warehouse model. at this stage, no warehouse data has been loaded yet. only structure and metadata are being captured. the wizard the data warehouse wizard is the central acceleration mechanism in analyticscreator. it analyzes source metadata and generates a draft warehouse model automatically. depending on the selected approach, this can be a dimensional model, a data vault model, or a mixed approach. the wizard can create staging structures, historization layers, dimensions, facts, calendar dimensions, and default relationships based on detected metadata. the generated model is not the end result. it is the baseline that developers refine and validate. the main engineering work happens after generation, when keys, joins, historization behavior, measures, and transformations are adjusted to fit the intended warehouse design. warehouse layers analyticscreator supports a layered warehouse architecture from source to presentation. in a typical setup, this includes source objects, staging, persistent staging or historization, core transformations, data marts, and semantic or reporting layers. it can also generate analytical models for tools such as power bi. persistent staging a key architectural concept is the persistent staging layer. source data is first imported into staging structures and then stored persistently for further processing. this persistent layer is used for historization and for decoupling source extraction from downstream transformations. it allows data to be reprocessed without repeatedly reading the source system. in dimensional scenarios, historized tables typically include surrogate keys together with valid-from and valid-to columns. in data vault and hybrid scenarios, additional hash-based keys and references can be generated in the staging layer as persisted calculated columns and then reused in later layers. transformations transformations in analyticscreator are usually generated as sql views based on metadata definitions. these definitions specify source tables, joins, selected columns, macros, and transformation rules. in many cases, the default generated view logic is sufficient as a starting point, but it can be refined through metadata rather than by rewriting generated sql directly. analyticscreator also supports reusable macros for standard sql logic, such as date-to-calendar-key conversion or hash key generation. this allows repeated logic to be defined once and reused consistently across the model. synchronization, deployment, and execution these three steps are related but different and should not be confused. synchronization synchronization materializes the metadata model into sql objects in the target database. this creates the database structure defined in analyticscreator, such as tables, views, and procedures. it does not mean that business data has already been loaded. :contentreference[oaicite:13]{index=13} deployment deployment creates and distributes deployable artifacts for the selected target environment. these can include sql database packages, ssis packages, azure data factory pipelines, and semantic models. deployment prepares the environment but still does not imply that source data has already been processed. execution execution runs the generated workflows and pipelines. this is the step where source data is actually extracted, written to staging, historized where required, transformed into core structures, and exposed through data marts and semantic models. in azure scenarios, this may happen through azure data factory. in on-premise scenarios, this may happen through ssis. consumption after execution, the data warehouse can be consumed through data marts and semantic models. these structures are intended for reporting and analytics, while lower layers such as staging and historization should remain implementation layers rather than direct reporting interfaces. analyticscreator can generate tabular models and structures for tools such as power bi. design implications the repository is the source of truth metadata drives generation, not manual sql-first development the wizard creates a baseline, not a final production model persistent staging is part of the architecture, not just a temporary landing area synchronization, deployment, and execution are separate steps consumption should happen from data marts or semantic models, not from staging layers key takeaway analyticscreator works by storing warehouse definitions as metadata, generating sql and orchestration artifacts from that metadata, and then deploying and executing those artifacts in the target environment."}

Historization with AnalyticsCreator","description":"","searchText":"user guide working with analyticscreator historization with analyticscreator historization in analyticscreator is applied after source import and before downstream analytical modeling. source data is first loaded into staging, then written into a persistent staging or historization layer, and only then used in core and datamart transformations. historization in analyticscreator table historization stores changing records with validity periods and surrogate keys. this page focuses on that pattern. column historization individual columns can use full history, equal-only behavior, or no change tracking. transformation historization downstream transformations can consume historized data as current-state, snapshot-based, or full historical output. join historization historized joins can apply different validity rules when combining time-dependent structures. purpose explain how analyticscreator stores and processes changing data over time so that previous states remain available for analysis and downstream processing. design principle analyticscreator treats historization as a warehouse-layer concern, not a reporting-layer concern. source data is imported first historization is applied in persistent staging downstream transformations consume historized data this design separates source extraction from change tracking and allows historical states to be reused across multiple downstream transformations. inputs / outputs inputs imported source table or source query in staging key definition used to identify records across loads column-level historization settings missing-source behavior optional filters and variables outputs historized table in persistent staging valid-from column valid-to column generated surrogate key generated historization stored procedure optional snapshot-aware downstream transformations internal mechanics 1. import first, historize second analyticscreator first imports source data into a staging table. historization is executed after the import step, not during initial extraction. 2. historized table structure a historized table typically contains: business key or source key tracked attributes valid-from field valid-to field surrogate key field this is the standard scd type 2 structure used to preserve previous states of a record. 3. column-level historization behavior historization is configurable per column. analyticscreator supports different behaviors per attribute: full history – changes create new historical versions equal only / scd1-style – current value is updated without creating a history row none – the column is ignored for change tracking this allows mixed historization strategies within the same object. 4. missing-source behavior analyticscreator allows explicit handling of records that disappear from the source: close the current record by setting the end of validity leave the current record open optionally insert an empty record to avoid timeline gaps this is important when rows can temporarily disappear and reappear later. 5. generated historization procedure historization logic is generated as a stored procedure. the procedure is specific to the object configuration and can be reviewed or extended if required. 6. downstream consumption downstream transformations can consume historized data in different ways: actual only – only the currently valid row is used snapshot – rows are selected based on a snapshot date between valid-from and valid-to full historical – all historical states remain available types / variants column-level change tracking full history equal only none missing-source behavior close validity keep open add empty record consumption behavior current-state only snapshot-based full historical access example assume a staging table contains customer data: stg_customer ( customer_id, name, city ) a historized table generated from it may look like this: pst_customer_history ( sats_id bigint, customer_id int, name nvarchar(100), city nvarchar(100), date_from datetime, date_to datetime ) a representative scd type 2 pattern is: -- close current row when tracked attributes changed update tgt set date_to = @load_ts from pst_customer_history tgt join stg_customer src on tgt.customer_id = src.customer_id and tgt.date_to is null where isnull(tgt.name, '') <> isnull(src.name, '') or isnull(tgt.city, '') <> isnull(src.city, ''); -- insert new current row insert into pst_customer_history ( customer_id, name, city, date_from, date_to ) select src.customer_id, src.name, src.city, @load_ts, null from stg_customer src left join pst_customer_history tgt on tgt.customer_id = src.customer_id and tgt.date_to is null where tgt.customer_id is null or isnull(tgt.name, '') <> isnull(src.name, '') or isnull(tgt.city, '') <> isnull(src.city, ''); this pattern shows the core behavior: current rows are closed when tracked attributes change, and a new current row is inserted. when to use / when not to use use when attribute changes must remain traceable over time source systems overwrite current values point-in-time analysis is required previous business states must remain queryable do not use when only the latest state matters the source already provides reliable historized data and duplicate historization is unnecessary storage growth from history rows is not acceptable performance & design considerations historization increases write volume and storage usage over-tracking noisy columns creates unnecessary row churn wrong missing-source settings can produce incorrect history timelines snapshot-based downstream joins are more expensive than current-state joins design trade-off: full history gives maximum traceability selective tracking improves storage and runtime efficiency integration with other analyticscreator features import packages and pipelines provide the staging input for historization transformation historization types define how historized rows are consumed downstream macros can support key generation in hybrid and data vault scenarios persisting can materialize downstream historized views for performance datamarts and semantic models can consume current-state or snapshot-based outputs common pitfalls tracking all columns as scd type 2 even when some should be scd1 or ignored not defining missing-source behavior using current-state-only logic when point-in-time analysis is required overusing snapshot logic in scenarios where current-state output is sufficient changing generated sql directly instead of fixing metadata configuration metadata representation historization metadata in analyticscreator typically includes: source object reference key definition per-column historization mode missing-source behavior optional filters and variables downstream transformation historization mode these settings are stored in the repository and used to generate historization logic and dependent transformations. deployment behavior build reads metadata from the repository generates historized tables generates historization procedures builds downstream transformations deploy deploys historized table structures deploys generated procedures deploys orchestration assets refresh / execute imports source data into staging executes historization logic refreshes downstream core and datamart structures key design principle what is generated? historized tables, surrogate keys, validity columns, and historization procedures when is it executed? after source import and before downstream transformation processing where is it stored? in the persistent staging or historization layer how does it scale? through selective column tracking, explicit missing-source handling,

name, package type, manual creation state, external-launch behavior, description, content rows, and manual package dependencies. package behavior depends on the package type. import packages show source-to-table import content. historizising packages show historized table-to-target table content. persisting packages show transformation-to-persist table content. workflow packages show selectable child packages with retry and error-handling settings. external transformation, script launching, and export packages use the package header metadata and manual dependency grid without the standard content grid. when a package is saved, analyticscreator validates that the package name is not empty, stores package metadata, updates workflow package references from the selected dependency or workflow rows, refreshes the navigation tree, and reloads the package detail page with the saved package id. access packages can be opened from the packages ribbon button, from the packages branch in the repository navigation tree, from a filtered package list, or from a package node in the navigation tree. how to access navigation tree data warehouse -> packages -> package type -> package

remove excludes a dependency only when a detected dependency exists. 16 refresh runs package dependency refresh and reloads the dependency grid. 17 save validates and saves package metadata and workflow package references, then refreshes the navigation tree. 18 cancel returns to the previous page. if there are unsaved changes, analyticscreator asks whether to save or cancel the navigation. list behavior the packages list filters by package name or description. when opened from a package-type branch, the list is filtered to that package type. when opened from a schema context, it is

unlocked. unlock is allowed for the locking user or repository owner. 15 save stores group definitions and object membership, recalculates inherited object groups, refreshes group locks, and closes the dialog. 16 cancel closes the dialog without saving the current edits. object group content the object group content list filters by group name or object name. when opened from a selected group node, the list is filtered to that group and the group column is hidden. the list grid shows group, object, inherit predecessors, inherit successors, inherited, exclude, and inherited from objects. new membership rows can be added in the grid. saving validates the inheritance options before writing the changes. object group actions the groups branch provides refresh, list groups, and add group. a selected group provides set diagram filter, edit group, list objects, delete group, lock group, and unlock group. the group selector in the main window can switch the active diagram filter between all groups and a selected object group. the dataflow diagram exposes object groups on supported objects so membership can be edited directly for that object. related topics entities object groups

step-by-step: sql server northwind project create your first data warehouse with analyticscreator analyticscreator offers pre-configured demos for testing within your environment. this guide outlines the steps to transition from the northwind oltp database to the northwind data warehouse model. once completed, you will have a fully generated dwh project ready to run locally. load the demo project from the file menu, select load from cloud. choose nw_demo enter a name for your new repository (default: nw_demo) note: this repository contains metadata onlyâno data is moved. analyticscreator will automatically generate all required project parameters. project structure: the 5-layer model analyticscreator will generate a data warehouse project with five layers: sources â raw data from the source system (northwind oltp). staging layer â temporary storage for data cleansing and preparation. persisted staging layer â permanent storage of cleaned data for historization. core layer â integrated business modelâstructured and optimized for querying. datamart layer â optimized for reportingâorganized by business topic (e.g., sales, inventory). northwind setup (if not already installed) step 1: check if the northwind database exists open sql server management studio (ssms) and verify that the northwind database is present. if yes, skip to the next section. if not, proceed to step 2. step 2: create the northwind database run the setup script from microsoft: đľ download script or copy-paste it into ssms and execute. step 3: verify database use northwind; go select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = 'dbo' and table_type = 'base table'; once confirmed, you can proceed with the next steps to configure the analyticscreator connector with your northwind database. note: analyticscreator uses only native microsoft connectors, and we do not store any personal information. step 4: change database connector navigate to sources > connectors. you will notice that a connector is already configured. for educational purposes, the connection string is not encrypted yet. to edit or add a new connection string, go to options > encrypted strings > add. paste your connection string as demonstrated in the video below. after adding the new connection string, it's time to test your connection. go to sources â connectors and press the test button to verify your connection. step 5: create a new deployment in this step, you'll configure and deploy your project to the desired destination. please note that only the metadata will be deployed; there will be no data movement or copy during this process. navigate to deployments in the menu and create a new deployment. assign a name to your deployment. configure the connection for the destination set the project path where the deployment will be saved. select the packages you want to generate. review the connection variables and click deploy to initiate the process. finally, click deploy to complete the deployment. in this step, your initial data warehouse project is created. note that only the metadataâthe structure of your projectâis generated at this stage. you can choose between two options for package generation: ssis (sql server integration services) adf (azure data factory) ssis follows a traditional etl tool architecture, making it a suitable choice for on-premises data warehouse architectures. in contrast, adf is designed with a modern cloud-native architecture, enabling seamless integration with various cloud services and big data systems. this architectural distinction makes adf a better fit for evolving data integration needs in cloud-based environments. to execute your package and move your data, you will still need an integration runtime (ir). keep in mind that analyticscreator only generates the project at the metadata level and does not access your data outside the analyticscreator interface. it does not link your data to us, ensuring that your

on-premise sql server data warehouse with ssis-based loading modernizing an existing sql server warehouse into a metadata-driven model generating dimensional marts and semantic outputs for power bi implementing data vault or hybrid architectures on sql server platform-specific faq does analyticscreator execute etl inside sql server? analyticscreator generates sql objects and procedures for sql server, but workflow execution is typically handled through generated ssis packages or other generated orchestration assets. does synchronization load business data? no. synchronization materializes the structure in sql server. data loading happens later during execution. can sql server be both source and target? yes. sql server can be used as a source system, as the repository platform, and as
