      Hello Susen, Am I correct assuming that the DB access to a 3CPU DWC  License should also work? The scriptserver has been actived in our DWC tenant already by a OSS message. Could you confirm?

      Kind regards, Philipp

      Hi Philipp, that's fine. If you have the DWC DB schema user you are good to go!

      Best regards, Christoph

      Just to add more details regarding using a DWC instance ...

      1. After activation of the script server, in the space management a Database User must be created with the option “Enable Automated Predictive Library (APL) and Predictive Analysis Library (PAL)” activated, see screenshot below
      2. And the IP address of the computer on which the Python code is executed must be added to the allowlist of SAP DWC.

      Hi, does the link to the challenge dataset still need to be added? There is no reference to it yet in the Jupyter Notebooks.

      Regards, Dirk

      Hi Dirk,

      we will share the data set when everybody is prepared to start on the 28th.

      You can test uploading any other csv-file before using the example notebook-file.

      Best regards,

      Christoph
