Creating a Data Connection enables you to connect to a specific source system and extract data from it into the Celonis Platform.

By clicking either on the row of the Data Connection or on "Edit" in the context menu, the configuration form will be opened.

  1. Click the + Add a Data Connection button to view a list of available options. You can define whether you want to connect to a Data Source, upload a file, import a Data Connection from another Data Pool or use the Data Push API. When selecting "Connect to Data Source", you can select the source system to which you want to connect. After you have chosen a type you will be presented with the configuration form. The necessary information and other requirements are documented for the respective connectors.

    Note

    Data Connection names must be unique within a Data Pool.

  2. The name of the Data Connection as well as the connection type (cloud vs. on-premise).

  3. The type of Data Connection (Salesforce, SAP, etc.).

  4. Indicates the current status of the Data Connection.

  5. The Related Data Pools column indicates whether this Data Connection has been shared with another Data Pool.

  6. The user that initially created the Data Connection. If modifications are made and the Data Connection is saved again, this value will be overwritten.

  7. Click on the three-dot menu to access options such as duplicating a Data Connection, testing it, or sharing it with other Data Pools. Deleting the Data Connections deletes the configuration, as well as all related Data Jobs, Tasks as well as all the data that has been extracted from this Data Connection (both extracted and transformed).

What should I do in case there is no Extractor available for my source system?

If there is no Extractor available for your source system, contact Celonis support.

It could either be that the Extractor is not yet enabled for your team or we do not have one in place yet.

In the second scenario, we are open for cooperation projects to build up a new Extractor to a source system we are not yet supporting.
