Thank you so much for providing this to the community. It did work for me initially but now it fails with datatime conversion but I can not find where it is occurring. I see you have updated the project. How would I update my installation with your new updates? Just install over the existing?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, we saw that error too. It was an error in our coding--the production tables were created with DATETIME2 as the datatype, but the CONVERT statement had been hardcoded to convert to DATETIME. What was weird is that the bad coding worked for a while, but then broke a few weeks ago when they did a regular Canvas update. Anyway. Yes, the new T-SQL file for creating CanvasDataStore (CanvasDataStore_042417_1332.sql) should fix the error. That file is created to drop/create everything, so you should be able to just run it on your current database. If there’s a problem with that then you should delete your current database, create a new empty CanvasDataStore, and run the file. Please let me know if you have any problems so we can keep tweaking it.

Thanks,

Bill

Thanks for you quick response. I finally got back to this and ended up deleting the databases and starting over with the process. It creates all the tables but it doesn't appear to download anything else. It ends pretty quickly on both jobs. All tables empty and nothing in the download directory. Do not see any errors. Any suggestion on troubleshooting?

Thanks

Hi Ron,

I just tried a fresh install and found an issue with our instructions (missing a file on the step 7 list) .

Make sure the "DownloadLatestSchemaAndTables.bat" file is in "C:\Program Files\nodejs" directory and try to run the process again.

I've done this and the process is now running as expected.

Thanks for the heads up.

Any suggestions?

Hi Rod,

I'm Andrew, co-author of this viewer and author of the bit you seem to be having trouble with. I should be able help you with this.

From that output it seems the 7zip path-ing is incorrect. I know that is typically hard-coded in the procedure to C:/CanvasDataUnzips. If you've changed this "default" directory to something else, you'll need to update @unzipDir variable in the [dbo].[CanvasData_General_DownloadSchemaAndTables] to correspond to it.

If this you need more assistance, please reply.

Regards, Andrew
