Trigger chained data jobs using Action Flows

Hello everyone, I’m trying to use Action Flow to trigger chained data jobs, meaning job A is executed, once it’s done job B is executed, once it’s done job C is executed. Ideally, I would like to launch Data Model Schedule from Action Flow, but I’m only able to launch data jobs and load data model. What I’ve done so far is: 1. Creating json file with all my jobs ID (A,B,C) - Parse Json Module2. Creating a POST request using API Celonis Key, to access data pool and launch jobs, load data model -    HTTP Make a request Module3. Using Iterator module to repeat step 2 for all job IDThe issue I’m facing is, job A need to be completed before launching job B and same for job B and C (this is what I’m calling chained data jobs). Configuring a Sleep in the iterator loop greater than the running time of my jobs is working, but not optimized. My question is: Do you know if there is a way to trigger chained data jobs in Action Flow, meaning triggering Data Model Schedule or launching several jobs

How to use data pool parameter?

Dear community, I would like to set up a data pool parameter to allow me to switch between test and prod environment? So I would need two global variables for my data jobs:var_data_source: to allow me switch between test schema and prod schema var_table_name: to allow me when creating table to add _test at the end of the table nameI have only found the way to create parameters in EACH data job under transformation and refer to the data pool parameter. Is there a smarter way? I am still using the data integration (not OCPM). Thanks a lot!

Custom CALC_THROUGHPUT filter shows different results than built-in Throughput Time Explorer

Hello everyoneI'm relatively new to building custom Celonis components in Studio and I've hit a wall with something that seems like it should be straightforward. Hoping some experienced folks here can point me in the right direction.The issue: I'm trying to replicate the built-in throughput time explorer with a custom component, but I'm getting different results:Built-in explorer: 12k cases (1-day filter) My custom component: 13k cases (same filter)What's confusing me:I exported both results and compared them - all 12k cases from the built-in are in my results My component has ~1k additional cases that seem valid when I check them manually These "extra" cases definitely meet the 1-day criteria, so why does the built-in exclude them?My current filter:FILTER CALC_THROUGHPUT(FIRST_OCCURRENCE [ '${start_activity}' ]TOFIRST_OCCURRENCE [ '${end_activity}' ],REMAP_TIMESTAMPS("TABLE"."EVENTTIME", MILLISECONDS) )/ 86400000.0 BETWEEN ${min_days} AND ${max_days}; Questions:Did I make a mistake in

A module to stop the action flow at some point

Hi,I have an action flow with a Router module, and I want one of the branches to just end the Action Flow without going through the rest of the Modules in the Action Flow. Because I have an Aggregate module, it always continues executing from there, so I want to just stop the Action Flow at specific condition. Thanks

Data model relation for two tables which are related in 1-N relation(VBAP:1 and VBRP:N).

These two tables are related in 1-N relation(VBAP:1 and VBRP:N). Also in some cases there are no entries in VBRP(AUBEL and AUP) for some entries in VBAP(VBELN and POSNR). I am creating an Olap to find all entries in VBAP (VBELN and POSNR) which does not have related data in VBRP(AUBEL and AUP) but they dont show up in olap. If i remove the VBRP columns from olap then they show up.

Issue with PQL to adapt KPI to line chart months

Hi!I’Ve been struggling with setting up the correct PQL for visualising a KPI on a line chart showing a timeline as the formula became quite complicated. Would appreciate any help on understanding what query I need or why it is not working.  The KPI I want to display on a timeline chart is a cancellation rate. The view contains an input dropdown as a variable  ${outlier_analysis_selection_main.pql} which the dashboard should adjust to. The dimensions of the line chart are ROUND_MONTH("CASE_TABLE"."DSL_ORDER_DT").  In the line chart, I already have the overall cancellation rate.This does not adjust to any user filtering done through the dashboard, nor the selection through ${outlier_analysis_selection_main.pql}. I also have another cancellation rate line which does adjust to any user filtering done. I can therefore compare the development of the cancellation rate for whatever is selected to the overall cancellation rate. Now I want to add a line that always shows me the cancellation rat

How can I create a table from the following code?

I have the following lines of code for which I would like to create a table in which we see the total amount of transaction codes, another column with total amount of transaction codes per company code and the amount of transaction codes as a percentage of the total transaction codes, per company code.In the back end I have managed to write these codes, however, because of a lack of the 'Over' function I can't seem to be able to make it work in the front end. These are the codes in question that are currently working in the transformation scripts ( back-end ):select TRANSACTION_CODE,ACTIVITY_EN,Company_code,Count(TRANSACTION_CODE) as count_tcode,SUM(count(TRANSACTION_CODE)) OVER(PARTITION BY Company_code) AS total_per_Company_code,ROUND((count(TRANSACTION_CODE) * 100.0 / NULLIF(total_per_bukrs, 0)), 2) AS percentage_per_Company_codeFROM _CEL_AP_ACTIVITIESGroup by TRANSACTION_CODE,ACTIVITY_EN,Company_codeHow would you go about creating a PQL script that could tackle these lines of code

Action Flow: Sharepoint Online XLSX Question

I have the following problem: I would like to upload a .XLSX file into my workspace via an ActionFlow. The .XLSX file is located on SharePoint Online. I can download the file using the "Download a File" action (Microsoft SharePoint Online) in the ActionFlow. However, I'm stuck at that point. In the output, the data is in "binary" format. How do I convert it from binary back to something I can import into a workspace? I have tried many things, but I just can't find the solution. Does anyone have any advice?

Automating Data Ingestion of External Statistics (Destatis) into Celonis

Hi everyone,in our Procurement analysis we are evaluating price developments and also compare them with external reference data provided by the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). The data is available as CSV flat files, which we currently download and manually integrate into our data model.I was wondering:👉 Has anyone already built an automated data ingestion pipeline for this kind of use case (regularly pulling official statistics or external CSV-based sources into Celonis)?👉 If yes, what approach or tools did you use (APIs, connectors, scheduled pipelines, etc.)?Any insights or best practices would be highly appreciated!Thanks in advance 🙌

Augmented Attribute Behavior

Hello everyone, I’m using an augmented attribute  “Sendout y/n” which is based on this record identifier: EORD → Material || Plant || Supplier. This attribute is used within a dashboard and can be manually set for the default value “no” to “yes”.  In the case a user changes this combination: Material: 123456, Plant: XY, Supplier: SupplierA → 123456XYSupplierA → Sendout (Augmented Attribute): Yes, I can then use this attribute for a connected AF. Let’s say the SAP EORD table data changes → orderbook changes the record identifier would now be: Material: 123456, Plant: XY, Supplier: SupplierB → what would now happen? Would the combination 123456XYSupplierB be on Sendout: Yes? Or would the augmented attribute as it is based on the MATNR, WERKS, LIFNR know that the identifier itself changed and be by default No again? When changes occur I would need the combination 123456XYSupplierB to have the augmented attribute with: No by default. I’m assuming that this will be the case, however, I’m no

How can i tell if my EMS connection has microsoft features enabled?

I’m trying to create a data connection between Celonis into Power BI. When I put the hyperlink into the ‘get data’ prompt, the navigator pane is blank (ie shows no data available).  I’m curious if I have the microsoft connection enabled. How can I check this? Important to note - I do not have analyst rights in Celonis hence why I’m attempting to import data into Power BI.
