Control Celonis catalog updates for object-centric process mining (2024-08-05)

Previously, when we released a new version of the Celonis catalog with upgraded object types, event types, relationships, transformations, and perspectives, we applied the update automatically in your team. This includes Celonis catalog items in processes that you've already enabled and used in your object-centric data model, which might get behavior changes or new attributes.

It's important to keep your Celonis catalog items up to date because downstream consumers such as our Business Apps are always based on the latest version of the object types and event types in the Celonis catalog. You also need to keep the SQL transformations up to date so that they are compatible with the current requirements for the object-centric data model - out of date transformations might result in errors when you try to save and publish your model. But there's always times when you're in the middle of something important and you don't want an update right now. From 31 July, you can choose when to apply a new Celonis catalog update in your team.

When a new version of the catalog is available, we'll display an Update available link on the Objects and Events dashboard next to the current catalog version, and an Update button on the catalog view. Click the button to get a link to the release notes, and read what's changed in this update and in any previous updates that you skipped. Then select Update catalog if you want to go ahead with the update, or Cancel if you don't want to update now. You'll still have the option available to update when you're ready.
