Bug fixes
Updating to Celonis Process Mining 4.7.3
Please be aware that before updating to Celonis Process Mining 4.7.3, it is required to install and run version 4.7.2.
For detailed information and further required steps, please refer to the Celonis 4.7.3 - Update Guide 1.14. All updated guides can be found here.
Not adhering to these instructions can lead to loss of configuration! These steps are not necessary in case of a fresh installation. Only application updates are affected.
Changes & Improvements
Important Changes
1. Deprecation note: Optimized load
With Celonis Process Mining 4.7.3, we are deprecating parts of the “optimized load” functionality (Data Model → Loading → Load column).
Remaining functionality:
The user can manually select which columns of a certain table are included/excluded from a data model load.
Deprecated functionality:
- The application no longer tracks the access count and last access dates for columns
- The “Load only used columns” functionality is no longer available. This functionality was used to automatically include columns that were not available but accessed by a user into the next load

2. MS SQL Configuration Store - JDBC Driver
In case the application is configured to use the Celonis Configuration Store based on MS SQL in config-custom.properties, a manual update has to be applied:
Validating the usage of MS SQL
- Navigate to <installDir>/config-custom.properties
- Check if this exact property exists within your config-custom.properties file. In case the property is commented (#) the manual update does not have to be applied:
database.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2008Dialect
For detailed information and further required steps, please refer to the Celonis 4.7.2 - Update Guide 1.13. Not following this instruction will lead to all Amazon Athena connections failing
Updating the property
- Navigate to <installDir>/config-custom.properties
- Replace the old value org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2008Dialect of the property database.dialect with the following value:
de.celonis.pm.utils.engine.CPMSQLServer2012Dialect
Updated log file structure & log rotation
With version 4.7.3, we revamped the full log file structure on the application server. In addition to that, we enabled log rotation by default for the main Celonis Frontend and Compute Compute service logs.
Please refer to the Celonis Update Guide 1.14 for more information.
New log file structure
Windows
- Celonis CPM4 Frontend
- <installation_directory>/logs/cpm_svc.err.log
<installation_directory>/logs/cpm_svc.out.log
<installation_directory>/logs/cpm_svc.wrapper.log
Windows Service Wrapper logs (when starting Celonis CPM4 Frontend service) - <installDir>/logs/cpm-stdout.log
Celonis CPM4 Frontend startup messages (before full application server start) - <installation_directory>/logs/cpm.log
Celonis CPM4 Frontend general service log file for current date (today’s logs) - <installation_directory>/logs/cpm.<date>.log.gz
Celonis CPM4 Frontend archive service log files, rotated daily by default - Celonis CPM4 Compute
- <installation_directory>/compute/logs/cpm_svc.err.log
<installation_directory>/compute/logs/cpm_svc.out.log
<installation_directory>/compute/logs/cpm_svc.wrapper.log
Windows Service Wrapper logs (when starting Celonis CPM4 compute service) - <installDir>/compute/logs/compute-stdout.log
Celonis CPM4 compute startup messages (before full compute server loading) - <installation_directory>/compute/logs/compute.log
Celonis CPM4 compute general service log file for current date (today’s logs) - <installation_directory>/compute/logs/compute.<date>.log.gz
Celonis CPM4 compute archive service log files, rotated daily by default
Linux
- Celonis CPM4 Frontend
- <installDir>/logs/cpm-stdout.log
Celonis CPM4 Frontend startup messages (before full application server loading) - <installDir>/logs/cpm.log
Celonis CPM4 Frontend general service log file for current date (today’s logs) - <installation_directory>/logs/cpm.<date>.log.gz
Celonis CPM4 Frontend archive service log files rotated, daily by default - Celonis CPM4 Compute
- <installDir>/compute/logs/compute-stdout.log
Celonis CPM4 compute startup messages (before full compute server loading) - <installation_directory>/compute/logs/compute.log
Celonis CPM4 compute general service log file for current date (today’s logs)
<installation_directory>/compute/logs/compute.<date>.log.gz
Celonis CPM4 compute archive service log files rotated, daily by default
3. Custom logging configuration
The custom logging configuration was updated with version 4.7.3. It was previously configured in <installDir>config-custom.properties via the property logging.config=. This property is no longer supported.
Please refer to the Celonis Update Guide 1.14 for more information. Not applying this update will lead to the application not picking up the previous custom logging configuration.
Applying custom logging configuration
- Refer a custom logging config file using the JVM property -Dlogging.config in <installDir>/cpm.user.vmoptions
- Refer a custom logging configuration in the file application.properties#logging.config residing in the same directory as the application jar.
