any thoughts?

cheers

Ronald

[Guido]

Hi Ronald,

did you access the page/link from a mobile device? In that case there seems to be an issue accessing the store - please try again using a PC/laptop.

In case the error occurs on a PC/laptop please share with me further details through a personal message like used browser, OS etc. and I will forward this informaton to the colleagues.

Thanks
Guido

Hi,

I'm studying the functionalities of BOC at this point with the Trial version.

Is it possible to upload the content to trial BOC?

 

In my trial version, there is no button for "Deployment" so at least at the moment I cannot upload the content to the Trial version of BOC.

 
Many Thanks!

 

BR,

Toni

[daniel_chen]

Hi,

 

I got the same issue as Toni mentioned previously, can you please advise where to find the button for “Deployment”.
Many Thanks!

 

Regards,

Daniel

[Guido]

Hi Daniel and Toni,

it's true that it is currently not possible to upload the content into a trial system as the "Deployment" option is not available.

We are currently working on a setup so that the content can be studied without having a full licensed system yet.
Any update on this topic will also be posted on this blog. So please revist our blog for further updates.

Thanks and best regards,

Guido

Hi

According to the release and compatibility matrix AO SAP BusinessObjects Cloud /  SAP BusinessObjects Cloud Content this Content Release SAP_BOC_CONT_2016_24 is valid for SAP BusinessObjects Cloud version 2016.24.x and 2016.25.x

Is the conted valid for release 2017.2.2 ?

 

Thank you and Best regards

Hi all,

is it possible to use this BOC content, in an environment where the source is not SAP?

This is an EC&O customer, which uses a niche ERP, called EnKontrol,runs on a Sybase database.

[Guido]

Hi Marian,

no the current content release is not valid for BusinessObjects Cloud release 2017.2.2. But we will for sure have a compatible release available when customer system are updated to 2017.2.2 (which is currently not the case yet).
And this will be true for all releases: so you could always expect a compatible release of the content for the offical release customer will have in their BusinessObjects Cloud system.

Hi Edgar,

as you could imagine we best integrate with SAP sources for the content and built the content for SAP sources. But in case you find the content or parts of it useful also for non SAP sources you could of course use it for your scenario.

Best regards,

Guido

Hi everyone,

I installed what I think is the most recent content in my BOC tennant (SAP_BOC_CONT_2017_01.tgz release date Feb. 23, 20017) but I'm getting some errors for the SAP_FI_Agenda (Boardroom agenda)

dberror($.hdb.Connection.executeQuery): 0 - Server plugin error: Connection timeout!

and for the Chemicals Porfolio performance growth products, which might be related because its related to FI as Well.

Object SAP__CHEM_PRT_IM_MATERIAL imported and created
Data was imported to object SAP__CHEM_PRT_IM_MATERIAL.
dberror(PreparedStatement.executeUpdate): 494 - invalid EPM Query Source definition: 43253: implicit mappings: field _changeTime_ does not exist in actualDataSource "_SYS_BIC"."t.J.t.S.SAP__FI_GEN_IM_GENERALLEDGER/SAP__FI_GEN_IM_GENERALLEDGER"

Anyone with the same problem?

 

 

[Guido]

Hi Sada,

Thanks for your post. The error 494 - invalid EPM Query Source definition....is known but it is not an issue for the content. In case you would use a Value Driver Tree (VDT) with this model there might be an issue or an unexpected behaviour. It is planned to fix this issue with 2017.4.

We have also included this information in the documenation as a know issue. The updated documentation will be available with the next release which is planned to be available on Friday March 10th.

The connection timeout issue seems rather like a temporary issue on the SAP Cloud Platform. It does not sound to be related to the content - does this error still occur?

Best regards,

Guido

 

[Former Member]

Thanks for your reply Guido,  I tried a couple of times and still got the timeout error, but I haven't tried again ever since. I will do a couple more attempts and post back here.

Hi There,

 

I use SAP BOPC version 2017.5.0 and found the latest content download not working with that version. What can I do about that? Any news on when the content is refreshed?

 

TIA, Dirk

[Former Member]

Hi Dirk,

Were you able to get the updated content?

[Guido]

2017.5 compatible content is planned to be availbale this Friday (March 31st) when all regular instances will also get the corresponding BusinessObjects Cloud release.

[Former Member]

Downloaded and installed content today; only errors warnings about Connections for Marketing data and for one other datasource. Nice piece of demo data :).

[Guido]

Thanks for the nice feedback!

 

[JamesRLongstaff]

Dear Guido,

This content sounds great!  The only problem is I seem to be stuck in a loop with respect to the ZIP Code field in the form to update my account to SAP Store.

I get the error 'ZIP/Postal code must match country'.

I am using our only similar code for this which is called "apartado postal" in Spanish, the country is Panamá.  I have tried some dummy codes also (all spaces, all 0, all 1) but nothing works.  Perhaps SAP can review the conditional that this field uses so that we can get access to this content.

 

Kind regards

[Henry_Banks]

hi, just a suggestion but i can confirm that in Spain the zip code is 5 numeric characters, such as 30590. could you use 'Spain' as your country and complete? regards, H

[Guido]

Hi James,


thanks for you post and sorry to hear that the ZIP/postal code seems to cause some issues for you.

But as this Postal Code is not a mandatory field it can be left empty. So the only mandatory fields you need are your first and last name, your company, your company e-mail, phone and country.

Could you please try again? In case the issue still persist, please write a personal message to me.

Thanks and regards,

Guido

Hi,

we love the content and we are preparing big workshops for our customers, based on Concur Travel demo.

Unfortunatelly, today we discovered that all charts based on Concur_travel model suddenly stopped working! We are getting authorization errors.

However, when we are creating a new story based on Concur_travel model, everything works fine.

Could you please help? The show is on Tuesday, so there is very little time to create a whole new story.

Hey experts! I hope you are fine !!

I have a doubt:
For users to create models by hana calculations views (BOC only) is it necessary to register the user's P-USER (or S-USER) also in HCP or just in the BOC ???

I believe it is only in the BOC, but I would like the opinion of our specialists. Can someone fix me?

Thank you very much in advance.

 

[Guido]

Hi Dorota,

sorry for the late reply – I hope you could resolve the issues and had a good customer workshop.
Without knowing details it is hard to provide a solution for that authorization issue.
We have not seen such a behaviour to date.

Please send a message to [email protected] in case you need further assistance.

Thanks and regards,

Guido

[Former Member]

how can we get access to the content?

[Guido]

Please download the content package from the SAP store as described in the blog above and import it into your system.

[former_member379476]

Hi,

Does any one know if the content is available in Spanish?

Thanks

[Guido]

The content is currently delivered in English only.

 

[JamesRLongstaff]

Hi Guido,

Many thanks for your reply.  The form still insists that a street address and postcode are required.

I was able to get past this by putting my home address in the UK (cheers Henry) but as the account is for my company in Panamá I don't see this as a permanent solution.  I think these fields should be optional as you suggested.

 

Kind regards

James

Hi James,

SAP Store not working  😞

Click on the download link and it stays on "Activating Your Account..." page.

Anyone else with login problems?

 

 

 

[Guido]

Hi Roberto,

We had some issues last week with the store but they should be resolved.

I just tried to it on my own and had no problems accessing the store and receiving the confirmation e-mail with the download link. Could you please re-try?

In case the issue still exists please sent an e-mail with screenshots and a step-by-step description to [email protected].

Thanks and regards,

Guido

[Former Member]

Thanks for the reply Guido.

It's working today and I managed to download the content.

Cheers

"We are currently processing your request to download the solution SCN – SAP Analytics Cloud content.

Hi Guido,

Just downloaded the latest content package (SAP_SAC_CONT_2017_11) and tried to import into my system which is on version 2017.12.1 (build date Fri Jun 30 2017 15:09:21+0200)  which is supported according to the documentation. However, it fails with the unsupported message:

 

The content you are importing is not supported in this version. Please delete this package.

 

Any ideas? Also, the email address yu specified above is bouncing back.

 

Thanks in advance,

Priten

[Guido]

Hi Priten,

sorry to hear that the import into your system does not work.
I just tested the import on a 2017.12 release and could not reproduce the issue.

Just the other day we have also change the email adress to reflect the name changes of the product. Please contact us using the following e-mail: SAP Analytics Cloud Content.

Thanks

Guido

 

[Guido]

Hi Deepa,

Thanks

Guido

[IvervandeZand]

this is wonderful and really valuable content @guido & @rolf

[dob1]

Is the content innovation 4 (SAP_SAC_CONT_2017_17.zip) corrupt at the moment?

[Guido]

Hi Dominic,

I just checked the download again and the file looks fine - could you please try again?

Thanks

Guido

 

[dob1]

The SAP store provides me a new filename: SAP_SAC_CONT_2017_17_1.zip

With the normal Windows-ZIP view, i still cannot open this file. But with 7-ZIP it works!

 

Thank you for your feedback, that the file looks fine.

[Guido]

Thanks for your feedback. The file has been updated in the download and should now work again without any additonal tools or software

Best regards,

Guido

Hi everyone,

I tried to access the ByDesign content with a trial demo - but not successful.

Is it possible to setup a ByD demo connection in trials?

 

Thanks

Thomas

[Guido]

Hi Thomas,

Are you refering to the trial offered on https://www.sapanalytics.cloud/. In that case it is currently not possible to install SAP Analytics Cloud content here. The trial also only supports a local file upload or a connect to Google Drive.

Please get in touch with your SAP contact who will be able to help you with your request. In case you currently have no contact person please send us an e-mail with your contact information and we will connect you.

Thanks
