Hi @Mithila Jayalath 

It looks like they were created using one of transformations when i was trying to solve optional exercise.

I will try to delete them using API. Thank you very much

@Leonid Kuritsin Thank you for the update. The documentation here will help you to set the dataset_id to the timeseries when you create it using transformations.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

I am going through the transformation part, I have run it a few times but still no luck. Initially, the error said that ‘parent_loc’ didn’t exist. when I looked at the uploaded asset.csv file in the RAW area it showed ‘parent_loc,,’ so I deleted the table and re-uploaded the data. But it will shows ‘parent_loc,,’ so I just updated the SQL code to match the column name but now I am having another error not sure, can something help, much appreciated.

Hi ​@ashyassi! What you can do to get past this blocker is to read from another data set. 

If you do “FROM IFSDB.assets” instead of your own data set, you will be reading from a table that doesn’t have the extra commas at the end. The issue with the “fix” you tried is that it will not find any matches for the parent external id, since the external id doesn’t have the extra commas, but the parten external id column does, and it will not match.

Hello guys, I am not able to start the hands-on part of the CDF fundamentals course, because I am not able to upload the CSV file to create the first table. I put the CSV file there and it simply does not appear and do nothing. I don’t know how to continue the course without being able to upload the data.

@Rodrigo Cezar Leão can you please let me know the browser that you are using? I checked using Google Chrome and I was able to upload the CSV without any issues.

Hi ​@Rodrigo Cezar Leão! If you still have the same issue, just please continue and use the pre-uploaded table available for you. Going forward, you will just do 

“IFSDB.assets” for the CDF transformation

I could do the upload changing Firefox for Chrome.

This information confused me a little. The spreadsheet that must be upload contains the assets data, like the tags names and is called AvevaNet. Later on, we use the IFSDB table to generate the timeseries and fill with the datapoints. So if I understand right what you said, I am suposed to get the spreadsheet AvevaNet data from the IFSDB.assets table?

@Rodrigo Cezar Leão, I’m sorry for the confusion. There is an extra (backup) in the IFSDB db, with the assets table as well. In case you can’t upload the CSV file. You can continue and read from this table when generating the assets.

Hello,
I am redoing this course from two years ago, 
and I am at the moment in (Working With CDF: Integrate) step: (Complete data set documentation)
And I noticed an issue I didn’t face before when selecting ( document Data Extraction) for my Data Catalog
I am unable to select the DataBase / Table
I even tried with anew data base, and other users databases, I tried both google chrome & Microsoft Edge
but to no avail, the box won’t tick:
 


I sometimes notice this message too when opening Document Extraction : ( Something went wrong: [object object] )
 

Is it something I missed ? I tried refresh many times and different browsers (new logins)
