Is it possible to use the start and complete (end) timestamp of events, so I can analyze the waiting time?

I was looking for a way to exploit the timestamp of the complete (end) of an event. I couldn't find it in Celonis Academics EMS. Is there any way to do it? We were provided a data set with both start timestamp and complete (end) timestamp, so we can analyze the waiting time. Is it possible to analyze the waiting time in Celonis EMS?

help.celonis.de

Hallo. I need a PQL Function Library. I have found the page, where it is stored. However, I cannot download it. The webpage is https://help.celonis.de I cannot figure out where I can find the library. Since Celonis uses their own language, even it is very similar to SQL, it is much better to have the library where you can look up for a function or command. Thanks in advance.  P.S: Regarding the version of Celonis, I have no clue. I know that we use a web-hosted Celonis.

Questions about how Celonis works from a group of Master students from TUM analysing the business model

To whom it may concern, I am part of a group of master students of the Technical University Munich currently researching the business model of Celonis. The company and how it operates is tremendously interesting, but it is difficult to find details on certain aspects of the company. Here, we are trying to reach out to you whether we could come in contact with someone who can give us some insights into how certain parts of the business operate. This would of course not be any sensitive information, more in regards to topics such as how revenue is generated across the variety of Celonis' activities and how Celonis conducts itself with customers and partners. Please let me know if anyone would be willing to talk to us or have an email conversation.  Thank you in advance,Luc

Calculate Throughput Time differs in Single KPI and OLAP Table

Hi peers,I try to set up new components using CALC_THROUPUT. The two following components show different results. This is presumably caused because the OLAP tables have multiple lines with single CASE_KEY though the process pattern only occurs once (and it should since we use FIRST_OCCURENCE).  It won't change when we use Attribute selection overhead to limit to single KUNNR or give KUNNR in Dimension. Why OLAP returns several line items? Single KPI (Number)<KPI>CALC_THROUGHPUT(FIRST_OCCURRENCE['Create Sales Order'] TO FIRST_OCCURRENCE['Create Delivery'], REMAP_TIMESTAMPS("_CEL_SD_ACTIVITIES"."EVENTTIME", DAYS)) OLAP (identical with single KPI)<KPI>CALC_THROUGHPUT(FIRST_OCCURRENCE['Create Sales Order'] TO FIRST_OCCURRENCE['Create Delivery'], REMAP_TIMESTAMPS("_CEL_SD_ACTIVITIES"."EVENTTIME", DAYS))

Why do our Delta Loads take more time than our Full Loads?

Good afternoon everyone, We've been looking at our Delta Loads and Full Loads runtimes to try and optimize our Data Consumption and we've noticed that the Delta Loads always take more time than the Full Loads. Is there a reason for this? Is there something we can do to have them be faster? In the below Image you can see some examples of /COCKPIT/THDRV and CDPOS tables which are quite large  Please advise Thank you in advance for your support

How works multiple COUNT_TABLE in number component formula editor with table joined?

I have two tables "Ta" and "Tb" in join directly, Tb is the master case table and the relation is "Tb" 1 -> N "Ta" . In formula Editor inside the number component COUNT_TABLE("Ta") = 1305 and COUNT_TABLE("Tb") = 7144 and all is correct. When I create a new number component with COUNT_TABLE("Ta") / COUNT_TABLE("Tb") I retrieve the number 1.2219..... I don't Know Why! I expect 1305/7144 = 0.1826. Components are without filters. How can I use multiple COUNT_TABLE in the same formula?Thanks,Alex Giorgini

Comparing two different aggregations of the same table based on one condition

Hi, I am looking into setting up a dashboard to monitor contract leakage in the form of paying a higher price for a specific item than agreed in a contract. 1.) I would like to obtain a count of purchase order items that were purchased outside of an existing valid contract.2.) I would like to obtain an indication on the cash value (difference between PO price and contract price) In our data model EKPO consists of both, purchase orders (EKPO.BSTYP = F) and contracts (EKPO.BSTYP = K). Now, I would like to compare the material number (EKPO.MATNR) for all EKPO.EBELN where EKPO.BSTYP = F with the material number for all EKPO.EBELN where EKPO.BSTYP = K. Whenever there is a match:1) Check if the contract number (EKPO.KONNR) in the PO (EKPO.BSTYP = F) equals the contract number (EKPO.EBELN) of the respective contract (EKPO.BSTYP = K) If not, the item was purchased outside of the frame agreement. If EKPO.KONNR empty, the item was also purchased outside of the frame agreement

Error: App/API needs access to pool and datamode when accessing datamodel through pyclenois

We are trying to access data model for an analysis and are using python script to connect and access data from backend. We are using Celonis cloud environment ‘TryCelenois’. We have created an apikey in user profile and using same ‘apikey’ during the login process. We have installed few sample applications from ‘EMSStore’. These applications has preconfigured analyses that we are using for our analysis. We are not using any custom data connector and instead using Celonis provided demo data model to provide data to these analyses. We can view data and perform all kind of analysis from the UI on these analyses. However, when we are not able to access datamodel object when trying to access it from external application through ‘pyCelnois’  We are using ‘pycelonis’ package to establish connection and extract data from Celonis. We are able to successfully connect with the Celonis system and able to extract the required analysis from the analyses collection. Though we are able to extract most

Column Chart - visible KPI column limit

Hi,Is there some kind of limit how many columns can be visible in the column chart? I have a table, in which I wanted to visualize activity count 13 types of cases per date. When I create 10 of them, the column bars are barely visible. If I add next kpi, then the bars disappear. Is there some option to show all 13 kpi at the same time in column format? I know I can change some of them to line axis, etc. but would prefer columns for all of them

How to assign Case Key across data pulled from 3 different source systems

Hi Team,  I have a conceptual question here. We are importing data through flat files from 3 different souce systems namely : MDG, ECC and PLM. Need to identify a field which can be taken as a common reference which will further help in defining Case key for the process. The process is around Order to Activation of SKU in SAP..Any help would be much appreciated, or someone who would have dealt with similar use case. Eg : in a generic P2P process, #PO Items could be used as 'Cases' across the flow, trying to identify something similar in my current process.
