[Business Rules](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/best-practices?hsLang=en#business-rules) # Valid from timestamp mapped without effect (Business Rule) **Applies to** Platform: Microsoft SQL Server · Snowflake · Databricks · Fabric Lakehouse · Fabric Warehouse · Oracle Architecture: Data Store · Dimensional These business rules warn when `BG_ValidFromTimestamp` is mapped on a Store Entity or an Entity where the mapping has no effect. Both rules raise a warning, and generation continues: ID-10057 when the model object is not historized, and ID-10058 when it uses a multi-version load. ### Messages Each message names the model object and its type in place of `` and ``. The Generate Artifacts page lists the messages without the rule ID. #### Model object is not historized The client shows a warning with this text: ``` Model object '' of type '' has valid from timestamp (BG_ValidFromTimestamp) mapped but is not historized. Without historization the mapping will have no effect. ``` On the model object card, point to the warning icon to see this message with the rule ID: Warning ID-10057. Cause: `BG_ValidFromTimestamp` has an expression or a default value in a dataflow set, while no relationship and no term has Historization Type SCD2. Business keys, identities and Default Terms are not counted. The rule checks Store Entity and Entity. Fix: clear the mapping of `BG_ValidFromTimestamp`, or set Historization Type SCD2 on the terms or relationships that keep history. #### Model object uses a multi-version load The client shows a warning with this text: ``` Model object '' of type '' has valid from timestamp (BG_ValidFromTimestamp) mapped and has Multi Version Load configured. With active Multi Version Load the mapping will have no effect, and instead the configured version valid from timestamp will be used. ``` On the model object card, point to the warning icon to see this message with the rule ID: Warning ID-10058. Cause: `BG_ValidFromTimestamp` is mapped, and a source model object of a dataflow set has a Version Valid From Term, which switches on the multi-version load. The rule checks Store Entity. Fix: clear the mapping of `BG_ValidFromTimestamp`. The load takes the valid-from value from the Version Valid From Term. Available since Generator 2.2. ### Check the result The warning icon is gone from the model object. ### Example In a Dimensional project on Microsoft SQL Server, the Entity `common_customer_scd1` has only SCD1 terms. Its `BG_ValidFromTimestamp` is mapped to `CAST('2020-01-01' AS DATETIME2)`. The client shows: ``` Model object 'common_customer_scd1' of type 'Entity' has valid from timestamp (BG_ValidFromTimestamp) mapped but is not historized. Without historization the mapping will have no effect. ``` ### Related articles - Reference: [BG\_ValidFromTimestamp](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/bg_validfromtimestamp?hsLang=en), [Version Valid From Term (Dataflow Model Object)](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/version-valid-from-term-dataflow-model-object?hsLang=en), [Historization Type (Term and Relationship)](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/historization-type-term-and-relationship?hsLang=en) -
