Data Ingestion features released in February 2023
Asset downloads (2023-02-28)
Download Portal for Extractors and other on-premise assets
We've created a download portal where admins and analysts in productive teams can get the newest versions of these Celonis on-premise assets:
- Extractor for SAP ECC and S/4 HANA (RFC Module and Extractor agent)
- JDBC Extractor packages for databases
- Python Extractor package
- Celonis on-prem Agent for automation
- CDS Views for S/4 HANA Public Cloud
These assets were previously available from links in the docs.celonis.com documentation. Now you can go to Admin and Settings > Download Portal to get and update them, and to see the release notes. You'll need to be an Admin or an Analyst with the permission MANAGE DOWNLOAD PORTAL for access.
Data Connections (2023-02-24)
Share different tables with each target Data Pool
When you share a Data Connection with other Data Pools, you can now choose a different subset of tables to share with each target Data Pool. For a shared Data Connection, Celonis EMS creates views for the selected tables in the target Data Pool, and doesn’t duplicate the data.
When you use the "Share Data with other Data Pools" option from the context menu for a Data Connection, turn off the "Use configuration for all target data pools" slider to create a separate export configuration for each target Data Pool. For the instructions to share Data Connections, see Transfer data between Data Pools.
SAP RFC Module 3.5.0 for SAP Extractor 3.11.0 (2023-02-28 )
Improved performance and use of hints
- We've refactored the RFC Module to improve extraction performance, especially for tables with many columns. Based on our internal tests, you could see performance improvements in the range of 30 to 60%.
- For SAP HANA databases, you can make further performance and load improvements by providing hints to the extraction queries. You can hint the preferred data source (snapshot or live data), and how many seconds the retrieved data can lag behind the live data.
Version 3.5.0 of the SAP RFC Module is designed to work with Version 3.11.0 of the SAP Extractor, and some of these enhancements require that Extractor version.
Extractor Builder (2023-02-23)
Nested request parameters
When you define a REST API endpoint in Extractor Builder, you can now nest one request parameter inside another in the API request. For example, you can use this capability for APIs that expect filters to be combined in a single query parameter. Pick "Do not use in request, but as parameter" when you add a request parameter that you want to nest. For the Extractor Builder instructions, see Extractor Builder.
