Hi @xuegang.yu,

 

Could you share more information what error pops up when you are trying to connect your MSSQL database?

Hi Klein,

Thanks a lot for your reply!

Here is the screenshot, I am trying to create an uplink integration, but the status is unlinked.

Hi @xuegang.yu,

 

Are you sure that the uplink server is running? Assuming you work on a Windows system, you should be able to see the connector being installed as a service. There the status should be 'Running' before it will be visible in Celonis (see screenshot below for an inactive connector)

 

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Ensure to fill in the correct keys in the 'application-local.yml' file
  2. Install the service using install.bat as administrator
  3. Go to services (use the search bar in the start menu and type 'Services')
  4. Look for the installed service and check if it is running. If not, try to restart using the 'start' button.
  5. If it cannot be started, check if all requirements are met
  6. If it is running, but cannot be found in Celonis, check the credentials
  7. If everything is correct, open a service request for support.

Hi Jan-peter,

 

Thanks a lot for your reply, I have checked the first 5 items as you mentioned, believe I have followed. But for 6: If it is running, but cannot be found in Celonis, check the credentials.

could you please let me how and where I can find it to check?

Hi @xuegang.yu,

 

The credentials are only visible once when creating a new Uplink Connection. If you not saved this, they will not be visible again.

If you are not sure about this part, create a new uplink connections, save the clientId and clientSecret on a safe location (such as a password manager) and update these values in the 'application-local.yml' file. Make sure you also fill in the correct URL to your Celonis Environment here.

 

I hope this helps!

 

Best regards,

Jan-peter

Hi Jan-peter,

Sorry for my late response since it was holiday last week.

Actually, I have saved the clientID and clientSecret in the yml file.The problem is that all of the uplink status is unlinked like below screenshot:Snipaste_2024-02-19_17-09-31


May I ask is it possible to connect with the local database in the training system?

Hi @xuegang.yu,

 

I would not recommend to post credentials on this public forum due to security reasons :)

I wasn't aware that you were using a training environment. It could be the case indeed that uplink connectors are not supported indeed. I you want to be sure about this, I would advice to create a support ticket (see the 'support' tab on top of this website).

Got it! thanks and I will create a ticket.
