Unknown User Error in Action Flow for USER_NAME()

I want to be able to get the username of someone that executes a skill and update an augmented attribute with the username. In Knowledge Model, I created a KPI with the PQL formula - USER_NAME(). This works fine in the knowledge model and returns the user. However, in action flow when I use Get Rows to get the KPI, it returns Unknown User. Does anyone have an idea why this is the case or perhaps any other idea to achieve what I want?

What are considered to be the 'best in class', currently, Extract, Transform & Load' (ETL) applications, which support Users with the general data preparation activities?

I'd suspect a lot of activities happens outside of Celonis, initially to 'prepare' the data quality, ensuring its reliability and integrity once in Celonis. I'm sure there's a lot of common challenges when uploading into Celonis, and have experienced some myself.

DATA INTEGRATION - DELTA EXTRACTIONS.

I want to extract a table "SRRELROLES" from SAP system. For this table, I have to use dynamic and private parameters on the column "UTCTIME" UTC Timestamp in Short Form (YYYYMMDDhhmmss).  I get an error for delta extraction since the data type I use is date (I have tried integer and double but neither worked)and the data type of UTCTIME is float according to SQL vertica in Celonis and UTCTIME has data type DEC in the SAP system.  My question is which datatype can I use for my dynamic and private parameters? Or how can I define a variable inside the FILTER STATMENT or DELTA FILTER STATMENT in order to get the max of the UTCTIME and use it for my delta extractions?

Pycelonis to extract and pull data from analysis/datapool to external MySQL or similar

Hallo, as pycelonis states: Using this package you can programmatically interact with Analyses, Workspaces, Data Models, Data Pools and other Celonis objects. The package also allows pushing and pulling data to and from Data Pools and Data Models. I would like to programmmatically interact with celonis analysis (mainly) and extract the data for other purposes and to other sources. That means, the statement suggests to me the possibility to extract the data from Celonis into an external database like say MySQL. I dont find a supporting material on this in the documentation. Can someone shed a bit more light into the darkness here?

Calculating Month-to-Month/Day-to-day/Week-to-week/Interval-to-Interval change on a Graph

Hello friends! :) I have a bar graph with ROUND_MONTH("ACTIVITIES"."EVENTTIME") set as a dimension and a requirement for it to display the following: -For each month, we want to get a difference of new cases between said month and the previous one-It would be ideal to also get a percentage change compared to the previous month. Have you guys ever dealt with something like this? It seems simple enough, but I've been scratching my head with this one. Thank you for your help in advance!

How to join between different data sources within the same datapool

Joining between different data sources are possible in global data jobs, e.g.  select *from <%=DATASOURCE:MDT_100%>.EKPO A join <%=DATASOURCE:MDT_200%>.EKPO B ON ... But is it possible to join each other within the scoped data jobs (MDT_100, MDT_200), that means Scope MDT_100:select *from EKPO A join <%=DATASOURCE:MDT_200%>.EKPO B ON ...

Is it possible to have a timestamp based process model? By this I mean seeing process steps in time as they happened in reality and were recorded in eventlog.

When I try to mine a process from an event log I see wrong activity in the beginning. And can't understand why is it there. As well, BPMN model is built incorrectly. I can modify it, but I don't see it in process or variant explorer in a modified way.  I use Python simulation to generate data. it simulates facility with several rooms where users can move and drink coffee. Coffee increases their heart rate. As well, the system starts displaying messages and offers users to drink water.  In the process model I get users have increased heart rate in the beginning and their moves between facilities are happening in one direction, while in reality they move randomly.  I try to understand what do I need to modify (Python code for data generation or something inside Celonis) in order to see the real model and a sphagetti diagram showing all possible users' movements and events.

How can you pass the proxy configuration to a dockerized extractor?

 The Celonis documentation does not specify passing the proxy configuration to docker. I don't know if the way to pass it to docker is to add one more line-e PROXY_ENABLED=true \\ -e PROXY_HOST=<host>, etc. Or how it would be since it depends on how the Docker image has been mounted.

Is it possible to push an excel file via Action Flows to Celonis (for CSV it is working)

Dear all, I would like to use Action flows to push an excel file (xslx) to Celonis using Action Flows.  Use Case: Excel file is received via email and up until now manualy uploaded to a data pool. I am successful in accessing this email, downloading the excel file.  I am following this tutorial to learn how to push a CSV file to a data pool. Create and Push CSV to Data Integration (celonis.com) However, it does not work for XSLX files for me. I changed the file type already to "XLSX" and "EXCEL". Error is: "something went wrong while handling the request. Please contact Celonis customer support. Celonis Support ID" I also tried to find a module that would help me translate an excel to CSV but could not found anything. Thank you,Gregor

Hi Team,

Hi Team,We are working on reviewing our landscape with respect to Celonis best practices.Currently we have multiple data pools and extracting data from multiple connections.In many cases we can have a situation where:1)Getting data from same connection but using extracted data for different data models.2)Getting data from different connections and combining extracted for single data models.3)Often times buiness requirement for same process may vary for different units and they would want to see different views / analysis / actions for them in those case how the data pool should be structured. Are already there best practices along these lines with pros and cons?

How to combine two number logics with a trasnformation to see one process?

In one system I have two processes with two number logics. First one is called S_ID and shows Process A ("From Receiving Technical data to releasing technical data for invoicing". 2nd one is called "L_ID" and shows process B "Creating data set to invoice sent"  If data has status 4 in the system, the data has been transformed from process a to process b and every s_id is combined with a L_id.  I checked with a table if ir possible to see status4, s_id and L-id in one table and cheked in the source system if the data is correct- it is.  In the Data model I created two activity tables and zwo cases tables, one with S_ID logic, the other one with L_id logic.  The last step should be to combine the data so the customer is able to see the whole process from receiveing the technical data to invoice sent.  I tried it with this script, and I know it is not correct yet:  case when"TableS_id"."STATUS"= 4then Bind("TableS_id", PU_first(&

Help needed with a % connection path KPI

Help needed with a % connection path KPI I am trying to figure out how i can make a connection KPI which shows the path percentage of cases that passed through. now i want to see the path percentage flow from each individual Activity. exmaple: Start -->Activity A (branches pathways) ---55% for a path---> Activity B (branches Pathways) --23% for a path--> activity Z. so from each Acitivy i want to calculate how much of the (total) cases that landed there go a certain path % wise. Now i figured out by doing: COUNT (DISTINCT SOURCE ("Table"."colum")) / GLOBAL(COUNT (DISTINCT SOURCE ("Table"."colum"))) I can filter the path connections to % based on the Total amount of cases present in the dataset. This only shows me how cases % wise flow through the whole process. but not from an indivual activity.  In my mind somehow every Activity point needs to be seen as the "new" total 100% so a calculation can be made for the paths. but i

Dear All & Celonis expertI would like to get advice, on how to convert the date format DD-MM-YYYY HH:MI:SS to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS?Your advice and support is appreciated. Thank YouBest Regards,Windu

Detail:in our data model, the event time must with format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS. But my data source is DD-MM-YYYY HH:MI:SS. so this data is not available as event time. I tried to follow : https://www.vertica.com/docs/9.2.x/HTML/Content/Authoring/SQLReferenceManual/Functions/Formatting/TemplatePatternsForDateTimeFormatting.htm use query : TO_TIMESTAMP(Date_column, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS'); (attachment 5) but the date format is not correct as below: 0028-01-20 00:00:00 (Attachment 3) The original date is 28-01-2022 13:51:24 (as attachment 4)

Hi All,

Hi All, I am trying to take my activity table and break it out into different subactivtiies groupings. Basically trying to create a counter calculation by case whenever the activity is 'Start' and have it copy all the way down until the next 'Start' activity or using a sort of lead object to distinguish the beginning of a sub activity. Example:Case Activitiy Counter1 Start 11 Activity 11 Activity 1 1 Activity 11 Start 21 Activity 22 Start 12 Activity 1 I have tried to do this with a variety of formulas, but have been unable to recreate this. I can do this in the backend transformation, but would prefer to see if it can be done within a calc from the front end. Please advise whenever you get a chance. Thanks for reading!
