I have a question about contextualization.In my setup, I have a functional location with a machine, and under the machine, there's a sub-station. When I contextualize a document related to the sub-station, why isn't it directly linked to the machine level and the functional location? I understand that I manually contextualize it to the specific station, but since the station is part of the machine and the functional location, it should appear there too.I think there's a missing link in my data modeling between the functional location, machine, and sub-station. What methods can I use to ensure that when I contextualize a document, it shows up at all levels of the hierarchy linked to that machine?

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been diving into the world of CDF data modeling for the past couple of weeks, and I thought I'd share what I've learned so far in a way that's easy to understand. First off, let's talk about the term "Data Modeling." It's everywhere in CDF - in API endpoints, UI, docs - but its meaning can vary depending on where you look. After some digging, I've figured out what it means specifically in CDF. Essentially, it's about organizing, storing, and working with data in a way that's perfect for handling complex industrial scenarios. Think of it as the foundation for unleashing the power of Cognite Data Fusion on your industrial data. So, what exactly makes up a Data Model in CDF? Let's break it down: Space: Think of it like a folder where everything in a Data Model hangs out. Containers, views, instances - they all belong to a Space and have their own unique ID. Containers: These are like the storage units for properties. They live within a space and hold sets of proper

Hi,I would like to update data to the EDR. The EDR has a build in tool to upload data, but I would like to use the API. As I understand it is not officially supported, but we would like to give it a try as we have hunderds of files we would like to upload.Before I asked my questions by e-mail, but I am directed to this hub to ask my questions, so there we go: File upload:I'm using the client.files.upload() function [1]. It seems to work when only the file path is provided, but I'm unsure whether this is sufficient or if I should be populating more of the optional arguments. Here's what I'm looking at: path external_id name source mime_type metadata directory asset_ids source_created_time source_modified_time data_set_id labels geo_location security_categories recursive overwrite  name: It appears this is automatically assigned based on the filename, is that okay?directory: This seems to default to the dataset ID, but I’ve run into an error when using 968ca

Whose idea was it to hide the dropdown behind the filters? 

Does it make the data available for optimal maintenance scheduling, or does it automatically generate maintenance plans based on that data? Does it predict failures?

Hi all,I have a question regarding the use of nested attributes from linked objects when defining indexes.In my model, I have an object Cement that has a direct link to another object called ScenarioContent.I would like to use the attribute ScenarioContent.Type as part of the index on the Cement object.This is particularly useful, because I use views that filter Cement instances based on ScenarioContent.Type. For example, to expose only planned scenarios, I use the following rawFilter in a view:@view(  rawFilter: {    nested: {      scope: ["Cement", "ScenarioContent"]      filter: {        equals: {          property: ["ScenarioContent", "Type"]          value: "PLANNED"        }      }    }  }) Question:Can I use this nested attribute (ScenarioContent.Type) in the index definition of Cement?If this is not currently supported, is there a recommended alternative to support performant queries on this kind of filter?

Hi, I did run transformation of assets and it worked first time successfully but today when I had a look, found a failed run and looking at logs, it says below error: Request with id 0b54c004-c667-9eab-a8c3-0a0047128fe1 to https://westeurope-1.cognitedata.com/api/v1/projects/cdf-ABCD/models/instances failed with status 400: Duplicate node externalIds for space 'icapi_dm_space' present in request: OSPRFIDRTO109:off_spec. Any idea how to fix this? and what is this error actually? 

Hi Community,I am using a toolkit and I am doing some transformation from RAW to the Data Model. From the Documentation Online, I only see example on how to apply the toolkit transformation to legacy tables (assets, events, timeseries,etc)This is sample of transformation format for toolkit:  Anyone know what is the configuration if we want to transform to Data Model? How to apply the space name and external id? Thank you.

Hi everyone,I'm currently using a nested filter in my view, and everything seems to work correctly — except in the tabular view.Here’s what I observe:In the tabular interface, the table shows 0 objects. However, when I click into the table, I can actually see that the instances are present.  Below is an example of the nested filter I’m using:Below is an example of the nested filter I’m using:@view( rawFilter: { and: [ { nested: { scope: ["Cement", "ScenarioContent"] filter: { equals: { property: ["ScenarioContent", "Type"] value: "PLANNED" } } } }, { nested: { scope: ["Cement", "ScenarioContent"] filter: { equals: { property: ["ScenarioContent", "IsLast"] value: true } } } } ]When checking the request, I see the following error:{ "errors": [ { "message": "Client r

Hi Hub, We have some backend code running as a Github Action that fetches events using `clients.events.list` over a period of 1 year. The fetching is of course chunked into smaller time frames to avoid memory overload. This has worked just fine until recently where we are frequently encountering aCogniteReadTimeouterror, which can be traced back to the following HTTP request error:requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='az-ams-sp-002.cognitedata.com', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=30)The error occurs inconsistently and not necessarily at the same point in time of the workflow run. Have there been any recent changes/restrictions in the Cognite SDK that could explain the cause of the issue? As mentioned, some weeks ago the workflow succeeded without problems. For additional context, we are using multiple threads to fetch events in parallel over metadata, for events within same time interval. Also, we use multiple cores to parallelize fetching and subsequent

¿HOW COGNITE DATA FUSION HELP US TO IMPROVE THE ENEERGY EFFICIENCY IN AN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS?

I noticed a few misses / potential improvements in the alerts & monitoring section of Cognite charts - Was wondering if anybody else had similar experiences?Email alerts always come in UTC (Considering we are based out of India, we may miss important alerts because of this). Let's say I have an Asset where I have generated a chart (in our case a particular well from a particular lift type showing critical parameters). A filter-based option where I can just switch Wells showing - using the same parameters as tagged before.

Hi,I would like to ask if Cognite Maintain or CDF can show the available bill of materials on equipment in the source system(for eg. in SAP).For example if technician can view the BoM on P&ID and the most frequently consumed materials on equipment, e.g compressor. 

A common setup that we have at Cognite is having 3 different environments: development, test and production. We have one specific Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) project for each of these environments. This setup allows to develop new features without interfering with production data. Also, it makes the deployment of new features to production much safer, since they are tested before.Sometimes, you still want to have the data you used during your tests, in your production environment. For example, if you extracted some data from sensors and saved them as time series in CDF, you may want to keep this historical data when you move to production. Same goes with files, assets, datasets, functions etc. Another example could be the replication of the data from a full production CDF project, to one of your customer’s project, containing only a subset of the source one.At Cognite, we have a python package (available at https://pypi.org/project/cognite-replicator/) whose purpose is to copy the select

Dear Cognite Hub community: We are very happy to announce that our Cognite SAP Extractor is now generally available to CDF users!The extractor connects to OData V2.0 endpoints in the SAP NetWeaver Gateway, making use of many pre-built integrations available in S/4HANA and saving considerable implementation time, while also natively connecting to the SAP data you need in a standardised manner.To get started,  download the SAP Extractor from the “Extract Data” page directly from CDF. The documentation, including Server Requirements and how to set up your SAP extractor is available here.We have also prepared a short demo (less than 4 minutes long) showing the steps needed to setup a data extraction from SAP S/4HANA OnPremise to CDF from scratch, including how to find the standard service from SAP, enable it in S/4HANA, configure and run the extractor and then see the SAP data in CDF.   Any feedback is very welcome, after testing the extractor and/or watching the quick demo please make sur

We use DB Exctractor to push data from MSSQL Database to RAW, but have run into a problem.Over time the raw table grows much larger than the Database table and this is due to rows that are deleted in database will not be deleted in RAW. How can I set up the config yaml for db extractor to also handle rows that are deleted in database?  

Is there a limit on the number of characters for String data that can be stored in a Timeseries?I would like to manage a JSON file that defines the configuration values of a certain system in CDF. Since the JSON file will be changed frequently and I also want to check the historical configuration records, I am considering defining it as a string timeseries and storing the JSON string in data point.However, if there is a character limit, it would restrict the size of the JSON string that can be stored, so I would like to confirm the specifications. As far as I have searched, there is no mention of this in the documentation.
