Q&A


Question : How SAC is handling , translation of data content in different language (ex. to display the the text in french or English of the dimension COUNTRY ). Do we need to maintain 2 model and 2 story ?





It will depend on your data source. For an SAP Data Source such as SAP HANA there are options to leverage the language capabilities of the data source to display various languages. More info for SAP HANA connection at https://help.sap.com/doc/00f68c2e08b941f081002fd3691d86a7/release/en-US/58c890e1c89d41e69b2cec31bac2...under Default Language


we use import data datasoure to BW bex query





for import from BW the language is specified in the connection so for each model only one language is imported. To have the same data available in multiple languages you require a connection, model and story for each language.


Importing data will support only 8lakhs records only, if I have more than 8lakhs what will happen?





You can load data in batches of 800k records. More info on this is available at: https://help.sap.com/doc/00f68c2e08b941f081002fd3691d86a7/release/en-US/6aa6a99d4eb5467896c4fd47bc9c...


How to maintain delta loads?




How do you handle if we have multiple BW systems(dev, qa, pre-prod and prod) and we have one SAC tenant





For import connections you would have a connection and model for each BW system.


Can you delay wave being applied to production if there is an issue found in the preview tenant testing?





The recommendation is to immediately report the issue to SAP via your preferred Support channel (https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#incident/solution) and SAP will make a call on the best approach to fix the issue in or before production.


I have a BW system for Dev, Test, and Production. Can I have a SAC tenant for each -- resulting in 3 tenants?


Yes you can purchase a subscription to as many tenants of SAP Analytics Cloud as you require for your scenario.


If there are multiple models that I have to move from test tenant to production tenant, do I have to manually change the connection for each model to point from BW test to BW Prod?





you can export and import connections from one tenant to another and then change the BW system they point to. Many models can use the same connection so the number of connections will indicate the amount of manual work needed.


How will active directory groups be loaded into SAC?




What is the cost of an SAC tenant?





you can find pricing information at https://www.sapanalytics.cloud/plans-pricing/


where can I find information about the costs of having multiple tenant including the preview tenant?





there is pricing information and links to more info at https://www.sapanalytics.cloud/plans-pricing/

Where can i find more information on how to move models from a test tenant to production tenant?



roles can also be exported and imported between clients ?




can we create sub folders under each Public Folder.. Nested Folders?




how to point the stories with new model




Can you please elaborate about user licenses impact of having single tenant Vs Prod,QA & Dev





licenses are independent per tenant. So for each tenant you need 1 or more licenses.
