Data Ingestion & Infrastructure

We have extended several of the Celonis Catalog perspectives. As a result, we now have Data Model Loads for both the original perspective (e.g., perspective_celonis_AccountsPayable) and our customized version (perspective_custom_AccountsPayableExtended).For our operational use, we only need the extended version. Therefore, loading the original Celonis perspective is unnecessary. However, these automatically created Data Model Loads cannot be set to Enabled = false.Question:How can I deactivate or exclude the automatically generated Data Model Load for the standard Celonis perspective within the ocpm-data-job—without deleting the entire perspective?Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated.

Hello together,is there a way to (re-)load the data permission table automatically? Currently, it seems like that setting up a data permission table is only possible by manually clicking on the button ‘apply permission table’. I wonder if there is the possibility to schedule the load to automate this procedure.Has anyone experienced this problem and found a solution for it?Thanks! 

Hi Community,I’m working on an individual custom project (not based on any default Celonis template) and I’m facing an issue where no data is visible in Process Explorer, even though the data model and configurations appear to be correct. I’m looking for guidance on advanced or non-obvious checks specific to custom implementations.Project context This is an individual project No default Celonis template is used All event logs, case/object tables, and views are created manually What is already verified and working ✅ Event data is successfully loaded into the data pool ✅ Transformations execute without errors ✅ Data is visible in table preview after transformation ✅ Activity column is correctly configured and cross-checked ✅ Event-to-case (or event-to-object) relationship is correctly established ✅ Case/Object ID is present and populated ✅ Data model is published successfully The issue Process Explorer shows no cases / no activities No explicit error messages are displa

Hello,I am facing a somewhat specific problem with an Action Flow.I am using the Get rows module to retrieve, depending on the input variable, the column from one table or another. The variable directly affects the name of the table I am retrieving. No problem there; depending on the input parameter, the module behaves normally. The problem occurs in the next module, when I use the Text Aggregator to group the data according to this specific field. The name of the Get Rows module variable changes depending on the value of my input parameter. Here is what I tried to do, which works when the parameter is 1 but does not work when the input variable is 2.  Does anyone have any suggestions for this problem? Thank you, have a good evening. 

Hi!Is it possible to change the Data Source of the transformations of celonis objects (OCPM)?Background: we have migrated a formerly external instance into our Celonis. Therefor we do have several redundant data extractions. I would like to consolidate them in one common Data pool (seperat of the other data pools). This means that I have to change the Data Source of existing celonis objects. But it seems that the Data Source is read only, once an object is created. Is there any solution for that? ...up to now, my only idea is to create views in the old, original data source for each table, that is moved to the new common data extraction pool.

Hi!Today I noticed that there is a “Transpile” button in SQL editing, and I would like to know if there is any documentation about it as I haven’t been able to find any.  Thankyou for your time

Over the Join Functionality documentation page (Join functionality (celonis.com)), when we get an 'No Common Table' error message - a detailed explanation along with the join path is explained. As I am new to the Celonis world, I wonder how to use the mentioned path to achieve the corresponding result.  Thanks in advance.

Hi! How can I access dummy data to help with my build of my App? End goal is this app will be sold on Marketplace. I would need data for all of the core processes. 

Hi everyone,we are currently restructuring our data architecture in Celonis. For each process area (P2P, AP, AR), we have separate data pools where we extract, transform, and load the respective data models.In the AP area, we already use a dedicated Central Extraction Pool, which only handles the extraction of raw tables. The actual AP data pool then receives these extracted tables and performs the transformations.Now, we want to extend this concept gradually to other areas. For example, we plan to stop extracting the CDPOS table in the Purchasing Pool and instead consume it from the Central Pool. This step-by-step migration should help us reduce redundancy and improve maintainability.However, I have a specific question regarding this setup: If I start consuming tables from the Central Pool in the Purchasing Pool (e.g., CDPOS), what happens to other tables like EKKO, which are still being extracted directly in the Purchasing Pool?Will my transformations in the Purchasing Pool use the l

Hi Community,I’m working on cleaning up our data pools in OCPM, which currently include:Migrated CPM → OCPM pools New OCPM pools Pools that extract data directly from source systems Pools that combine multiple source extractions Derived data pools (with filters, perspectives, etc.)What is a good way to organize or separate these different types of data pools? Specifically:Is there a recommended approach to distinguish source-based pools from combined or derived pools? Are there best practices for naming conventions to make it easier to manage and identify them? How can I easily see which data pools are connected to which assets (apps, views, packages)?Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance,ShalinI am aware of this question, but it was posted a while ago and does not provide the granularity I am looking for🙁https://community.celonis.com/topic/show?tid=4263&fid=2 

Hello,I am trying to get data from a Microsoft sharepoint list to the Celonis Platform.According to the Flowchart provided by the API-Team - When to use the Standard Data Ingestion API (and other methods) - the extractor builder should be used for a Sharepoint data transfer, since the REST API is exposed.I tried to set up the connection, but I fail when configuring the endpoint, since I get xml-data even if I specify that I would like to have a json structure (Request Parameter - Accept: application/json;odata=verbose)Does anyone have experience with connecting the MS universe with the Celonis universe?I also found a workaround that works (Push CSV to Data Integration), but I would rather orchestrate all the data loads in the Data Integration environment instead of using Process Automation modules to make a data transfer.Thanks for your support!BR THomas

Hi all,I have a question relating to “hygiene” in data pools.In my organisation we use manual data ingestion and upload files into our data pools. Over time, a large number of files and tables was added and created. I’d like to do a bit of house-keeping and remove obsolete/ unused files. How can I do that? I have analyst access.I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.Kind regards,Vladimir

Dear community, I would like to set up a data pool parameter to allow me to switch between test and prod environment? So I would need two global variables for my data jobs:var_data_source: to allow me switch between test schema and prod schema var_table_name: to allow me when creating table to add _test at the end of the table nameI have only found the way to create parameters in EACH data job under transformation and refer to the data pool parameter. Is there a smarter way? I am still using the data integration (not OCPM). Thanks a lot!   

Hi There,We’d like to integrate our Celonis (SaaS) solution to one of our other cloud applications (ServiceNOW) using the other application’s REST API. We need to deploy a VPN for this integration to ensure secure communication. Does Celonis SaaS (or the underlying platform Azure/Amazon) provide a means for deploying a VPN? e.g. Azure VPN Gateway or AWS Transit Gateway Kind Regards, Seamus

Has anyone experience on connecting Celonis with SAP Business One (BOne)?How easy is the connection? 

Hello all, I’m currently working on combining various cycle times (e.g. from PO Item creation to Goods Receipt, or from Goods Receipt to Invoice Receipt) with key figures from my Case Table in a single OLAP table.To achieve this, I’ve tested two different approaches:Cycle Time Calculation Based on the Activity Table: This method allows me to control which occurrence to consider — for example, in cases of multiple GRNs for the same PO line, I can choose to include only the first one. The formula delivers the expected results. However, I’m unable to combine this approach with other key figures from my Case Table (e.g. Company Code, PO Item Count, etc.) in the same OLAP table. Additionally, if the cycle time is negative (e.g. GRN before PO Item creation), the formula returns “–” instead of the actual negative value.   AVG(CALC_THROUGHPUT ( FIRST_OCCURRENCE [ 'Create Purchase Order Item'] TO FIRST_OCCURRENCE [ 'Record Goods Receipt' ] , REMAP_TIMESTAMPS ("_CEL_EKPO_ACTIVITIES"."EVENTTIME"

Good day, I have an OCPM data model with 2 objects, a case and a user. I need to select my case eventlog as the default eventlog. How do I do that? I know I can create an eventlog in Perspectives and make it the default eventlog but I dont want to create an additional eventlog , I want to select the existing case eventlog as the default eventlog. Thank you

Hello everyone, I’m trying to use Action Flow to trigger chained data jobs, meaning job A is executed, once it’s done job B is executed, once it’s done job C is executed. Ideally, I would like to launch Data Model Schedule from Action Flow, but I’m only able to launch data jobs and load data model. What I’ve done so far is: 1. Creating json file with all my jobs ID (A,B,C) - Parse Json Module2. Creating a POST request using API Celonis Key, to access data pool and launch jobs, load data model -    HTTP Make a request Module3. Using Iterator module to repeat step 2 for all job IDThe issue I’m facing is, job A need to be completed before launching job B and same for job B and C (this is what I’m calling chained data jobs). Configuring a Sleep in the iterator loop greater than the running time of my jobs is working, but not optimized. My question is: Do you know if there is a way to trigger chained data jobs in Action Flow, meaning triggering Data Model Schedule or launching several jobs

Hey all,I have a process where I have four activities labeled: A, B, C, D.In the event log I have for one case equal timestamps for B and C: 08:11:00 until 08:23:00.My problem is that Celonis visualizes this process as A → B → C → D, however I expect the process to look like A → B, C → D. Is there any way to do this, and if so, how?

Does anyone have the steps to do the data integration with the Dynamics 365 for order to cash process?

Dear Celonis users, I only know how to create a filter in KM and apply it to a table.  I would like to restrict the scope of filters, so that they will only have impact on one tab, when I put those filters in the filter bar. Is it possible to achieve this goal on Celonis web version?

Hey everyone! Has anyone tried using the Microsoft Entra authentication to create a connection between Microsoft SQL and Celonis? (https://docs.celonis.com/en/connecting-to-microsoft-sql.html#UUID-9e582e53-55d8-d3e9-7b6c-1e122f4219d9_section-idm4544307539120034248385337057)We are trying to enable this and Celonis Help source documentation we stumbled upon provides how an Entra authentication works (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/connecting-using-azure-active-directory-authentication?view=sql-server-ver16) but we miss the steps on how do we set it up in Celonis directly. Any insights on the actual setup would be very much appreciated. TIA! Good day! 

Hi everyone,in our Procurement analysis we are evaluating price developments and also compare them with external reference data provided by the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). The data is available as CSV flat files, which we currently download and manually integrate into our data model.I was wondering:👉 Has anyone already built an automated data ingestion pipeline for this kind of use case (regularly pulling official statistics or external CSV-based sources into Celonis)?👉 If yes, what approach or tools did you use (APIs, connectors, scheduled pipelines, etc.)?Any insights or best practices would be highly appreciated!Thanks in advance 🙌
