Installation and Update

Prerequisites​

The Snowflake native app can be installed via the Snowflake Marketplace. Simply search for mpmX - Process Mining for Snowflake and follow the setup instructions.

Alternatively, contact your MEHRWERK sales representative and provide them with the following information:

The Native App uses Streamlit to present the configuration UI. Which in turn requires a warehouse to operate. The warehouse size XSMALL is sufficient here.

Since the Native App uses Tasks to regularly run its application logic, you will be asked to select a warehouse to be used by the tasks and you also have to grant the Native App the EXECUTE TASK privilege to allow for the scheduling of the tasks. This privilege can only be granted by an ACCOUNTADMIN.

Checklist​

  • You have requested access to the Native App either through the Snowflake Marketplace or through a MEHRWERK sales representative.
  • An XSMALL warehouse has been set up to run the Native App.
  • Other warehouses have been set up to run the background tasks.
  • A role has been created to install and therefore own the application.
  • A user with the ACCOUNTADMIN role is used to grant the EXECUTE TASK privilege.

Installation​

You can find the mpmX Snowflake app as a privately shared listing in your Snowflake account.

  1. Click on the Get button.
  2. Choose a warehouse to be used during the installation.
  3. If you want to change the application name, expand the Options block and enter the appropriate name.
    Continue with the Get button.
  4. The installation will take a moment and then you'll see a confirmation screen telling you that the installation was successful.
    Click on Configure to open the application for the first time.
  5. The first time you access the application, you'll be asked to select a warehouse from which to run the process mining. You will also need to grant the EXECUTE TASK privilege to allow for the scheduling of the process mining. This requires an ACCOUNTADMIN user.

This completes the setup and you are ready to take the first steps, e.g. create a process scenario.

Update​

When an updated version is provided for your account, it will be installed automatically. You can see the current version of your app in Snowsight by navigating to Data Products » Apps.
