Data Point comment transport from one tenant to another.

[ramkumar_thayumanavan]

Hi All,

We are planning to migrate from one tenant to another.

We are having Data point comments column in the story. May I know the possibilities for the transport of these comments? (It is using Analytical Model - Import)

If there are no possibilities... I believe taking the Excel export is the only way to take the backups.

Please correct me if I am wrong or provide any new solutions if possible 🙂

Kind regards,

Tha.Ram

Hi @ramkumar_thayumanavan ,

currently an automatic export/import of comments is not supported.

I´d personally solve this issue with scripting: You can use Table.getComments() (see SAP Help Table.getComments) to get a "TableComments"-Object with the possibility to read and write comments.

You´d then also need a model with fitting dimensions plus an extra dimension for the comments. You´ll then use script to create new records in this planning-model including the comments dimension.

You can transport this model to your new tenant and there need again a script to re-create comments based the comments-dimension.

This solution requires on the one hand a planning license, on the other hand some scripting. If you have thousands of comments you´d like to "transport", it´s fine. If it´s only for <100 comments, you may be faster by exporting to Excel and add the comments manually.

Hi Denis ,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately we don't have planning license. Hence we went for Analytical Model.

We do have less than 100 comments only. So I am thinking of informing the users to update manually.

Kind regards,

I do not think comments can be transported.

Exporting the Table with comment column shown will export the comments to Excel but the real challenge will be importing the comments
