Data Connection | Building Sync Failure Foundry -> S3 Bucket
Hey Everyone! I am running into an issue with building a network connection sync from Foundry to my AWS S3 Bucket. I am convinced I am messing up either the S3 Bucket Policy or some setting within Foundry. But when I review the build progress and see the 3 failed attempts, the details about the failure says: Unexpected infrastructure failure: the job has failed unexpectedly in the backing compute cluster without committing or aborting. Reason: Job was killed by the backing compute system with the following container states: [container_name: foundry-data-sidecar, state: PodInitializing] [container_name: telemetry-sidecar-6d8345db, state: PodInitializing] [container_name: user-container, state: PodInitializing] The AIP says its an infrastructure failure and not something pertaining to what I did. Is that accurate? Is this not my fault? More than happy to share more information. In essence, what I am trying to do is have something running continuously in AWS EC2 and it saves
Notepad Generator Bug
Hi All, In my Workshop, I have a notepad template which I use to generate new notepads. Below this button, I have a notepad Linked Documents widget displaying all the notepads for that object. (All generated notepads should appear here). The issue is, when I generate a notepad, it makes the notepad but I get an Error message saying “Failed to refresh workshop Variables” and the notepad linked documents widget does not update. I need to close the overlay and reopen for it to appear. This isn’t the best user experience so any help on this would be appreciated 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Build Dataset using Function called in AIP Agent
I have built a function in typescript v2 repository. Here I have used the dataset build orchestator api. This api triggers the dataset build. It works when I execute the function inside the repository. However, when I call this function in AIP agent then it fails to execute. Is there any setting that I might be missing? or is this a platform level restriction? Typescript v2 function: import { PlatformClient } from "@osdk/client"; import { Orchestration } from "@osdk/foundry"; /** * Triggers a build for the specified dataset. * @param client - The Foundry platform client (injected automatically). * @param datasetRid - The RID of the dataset to build (input by the user). * @returns A message indicating the result. */ export default async function triggerCustomersCleanBuild( client: PlatformClient, datasetRid: string ): Promise<string> { // Trigger the build using the Orchestration API await Orchestration.Builds.create(client, { target: {
The truth behind the 'Darth Vader' data firm Palantir: Sadiq Khan blocked their £50m Met Police contract... but those who have seen how it is transforming the NHS say it's saving countless lives
There are many reasons why former health secretary Wes Streeting feels he does not have the support of the Labour Left to challenge Keir Starmer for the keys to No 10.
Feature Request: Dynamic Color Rules for Ontology Properties
It would be very useful to allow dynamic color scaling for ontology properties instead of requiring users to manually define fixed minimum and maximum values. For example, the system could automatically detect the current min/max values of the property and apply the color gradient dynamically. This would make visualizations more scalable, easier to maintain, and adaptable to changing datasets without having to constantly update the configuration manually. Thanks in advance! 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Looking for a WMS-lite in Foundry
I’m looking for a WMS-lite pattern/product in Foundry. Basic needs: SKU/location inventory receipts picks/shipments adjustments simple 3PL/customer portal minimal ontology + Workshop app I’d be willing to pay for something like this if it were installable and minimally configurable. A few Marketplace questions: Are Foundry Products / Marketplace intended to become a place where builders can publish reusable apps/products for other Foundry users? Is there currently a central place to browse available Marketplace products, or is discovery mostly enrollment/org-specific today? If another community member has packaged something useful, is the right sharing path export/import of a Marketplace product file, assuming both sides have the required permissions? Curious if anyone has already built something in this direction. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Generate a Microsoft PowerPoint
Hello. I would like to request a feature to generate Microsoft PowerPoint files within Palantir Foundry. The background for this request is that our end-users (a major Japanese financial institution) are required to create Microsoft PowerPoint files as part of their daily operations. If Foundry could enable the generation of PPTX files, it would significantly improve operational efficiency. 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
Group by "foreign key" in charts Workshop widgets
Hey! I am building a chart widget using an object with a many-to-one link and I would like to segment my chart using the foreign key used for this link. But it’s not really readable because I am using the id (uuid type) of the linked object as a foreign key. It would be nice to add the possibility to select a property to display through the linked object instead of the property used as a foreign key. (e.g. the name) It will be really useful for: “Group by” feature in pie chart widget “Segment by” feature in xy chart widget I’m quite sure that it’s not possible for now, let me know if I am wrong. Cheers, Nathan 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Issues with token for Palantir VSX extension [unusable]
I keep getting this error when trying to authenticate my Palantir VSX extension. The authentication flow works as expected, but then after I am redirected from the Foundry website using the redirect URI in Chrome, it goes back to Antigravity IDE and hangs, before timing out and availing no token refresh at all. Please could someone point me in the right direction to fix or urgently suggest a workaround. 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
Fusion - nested string arrays. How to use the explode command
I have imported my dataset created by Contour into Fusion. Whilst it has created 9 columns for the data, it has only produced a single row. I believe the term is nested. I have seen various commands online i.e. explode followed by other commands. But this doesn’t seem to be working or it may in fact be me applying this incorrectly. I can drag the columns down which then populates the rows but would prefer all the rows appearing automatically as the data changes. Grateful for step by step commands, actions to follow to accomplish this. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Workshop - Button to appear to show when a filter has been applied
I am trying to create a button that only appears when a filter has been applied by the end user. This is to ensure the user is aware they are not seeing all the data. My object set always has a value but my filter output value is either ‘no filters’ or the values of my filters that I have applied. I see there is a conditional visibility on the button widget but I am struggling on how to setup the boolean variables to do this and/or other variables that might be needed to accomplish this. I am most probably looking at this at the wrong angle. So any help would be much appreciated. 3 posts - 3 participants Read full topic
Embedding large third-party React SDKs
I’m building a Foundry React app with Ontology SDK integration and trying to connect Box.com as a governed content layer for Foundry records. I successfully: create Box folders automatically from Foundry store Box folder IDs/URLs on objects My issue is the UI layer. I tried embedding Box Content Explorer / Box UI Elements in both: custom widgets hosted React apps but ran into CSP restrictions and major dependency/runtime issues with Box UI Elements in Foundry’s Vite/esbuild environment. Question: What is the recommended Foundry-native pattern for integrating external content systems like Box or SharePoint into React applications? Should the UI generally be: native Foundry React components + external APIs instead of embedding third-party UI SDKs? Has anyone successfully embedded large third-party React SDKs in hosted Foundry apps? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
First build after Marketplace installation fails — Data Connection source returns empty URL
After installing a Marketplace product, the first build of a transform that uses an external data connection fails with: MissingSchema: Invalid URL ‘’: No scheme supplied. Perhaps you meant https://? The transform fetches data from a REST API using rest_api_source.get_https_connection().url , but on the first build the URL resolves to an empty string. The subsequent retry (triggered minutes later) succeeds. Logs: [GLEIF][spark-transform] LEI 20260524: fetching from [GLEIF][spark-transform] Downloading ERROR: LEI 20260524 UNEXPECTED ERROR [MissingSchema]: Invalid URL '': No scheme supplied. Expected behavior: The data connection source should be available on first build after installation. Actual behavior: First build gets an empty URL from the source. Retry succeeds, suggesting a timing/initialization issue with the data connection during installation. Question: Is there a known delay between product installation and data connection source availability? I
Adding Foundry support for FastAPI web app with SQL backend
Hi there We’re a startup building an agent optimization platform. One of our clients is using Palantir Foundry to store their data and they have asked us to integrate our platform into Palantir Foundry. Essentially, our platform is a FastAPI server connected to a SQL DB where it reads/writes information (sometimes on the hot path). Our schema backend implements ~100 functions that, under the hood, call a bunch of SQL queries. We also have maximum inner product search over vectors (we use extensions like pgvector in Postgres). For integration into Foundry, I was thinking about representing our DB as an Ontology. Couple of questions: Does this make sense? Is the latency and parallelism going to be okay? Is there a better way to do this than creating an ontology? How would you handle maintainability? Our schema still changes, and I kind of want to avoid having to manually tweak the ontology every time we change it. Is here someone who would like to help with that? Sort of
Accessing Foundry Value Types in Typescript V2 Repositories
Hello all, Is there any way for me to directly or indirectly reference the custom types I’ve made in foundry through the SDK in my typescript v2 repository? If not does anyone know if this feature has been discussed in a future roadmap? Thank you, Chase 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Add Image to Image Media Set Through Workshop Button Widget
I have a Image Media Set that feeds into Pipeline builder. The pipeline pulls meta data from the image along with builds out some other static columns and produces a dataset. This part works great. But I want to be able to add images to the Media Set through Workshop. I figured out that I can do this through the ‘media upload’ widget, but it wants a function-backed action output, which I do not need. It says that I should “ For single item uploads that do not need to trigger a function-backed Action, use the Button Group to open an Action form to perform the upload .” But I cannot figure out how to do this through the Button Group widget. Any advice on how to do this? 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
In Workshop map widget, enable the 'Infer min/max' option when coloring by expression
When setting up a map using a Choropleth display, if you color by aggregation there is an option to ‘infer the min/max’ on the color spectrum. However, this option does not exist when coloring by an expression, which I need to use to aggregate across multiple properties. This means the display isn’t dynamic (e.g. if the underlying data is filtered to small range). 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Converting Pipeline Builder Logic to PySpark/Polars Transforms - Feature or Workaround?
Hi Community, I’m exploring ways to convert existing Pipeline Builder pipelines into Code Repository transforms (PySpark or Polars), either automatically or semi-automatically. What I’m Looking For: Is there an official API or tool that exposes Pipeline Builder pipeline metadata/logic in a structured way (e.g., JSON config)? Has anyone built a custom Foundry app (e.g. Workshop + Python transforms) that automates this kind of conversion? Why This Matters: Many teams start with Pipeline Builder for quick prototyping but eventually need to move to Code Repositories for more complex transformation logic and access to Python libraries not available in Pipeline Builder. Feature Request (if no solution exists): If this isn’t currently possible, I think this would be a highly valuable feature - a native “Convert to Code Repository” option that: Translates Pipeline Builder steps to PySpark or Polars transforms Preserves dataset inputs/outputs and schema mappings Flags
