SAP Analytic cloud - Data Persistence.

[dsanpor]

Dear experts.

I know the possibilities of connection from SAC to data sources. However, I cannot see if there is a database in the SAC itself. That is, does it offer permanent data persistence? or on the contrary it is temporary.

Could you provide me with an access point to information to have an understanding of how the data is stored in SAC? I am not interested in the connections (how the information is stored), I am interested in how long the information remains in SAC and how that data is managed.

Thanks and greetings DAvid Sánchez.

Hi David,

Essentially in SAC is visualised in two different ways Data

1. Live Connection i.e. Data is not replicated into SAP Analytics Cloud i.e. Data still stays on Customer on premise system and only visualised in the SAP Analytics Cloud.
2. Import Data Connections i.e. Data of the Customer is replicated within SAP Analytics Cloud and in turn stored in a HANA database in the back end. I suspect that when you a create a Analytic data models through the SAP Analytics Cloud Modeller you are essentially creating a Calculation View of the data you have persisted in the HANA DB.

As customers there is a no need to understand how data is stored ( HANA knowledge is preferable ) but to ensure get the modelling correct.

I hope that helps

Regards

Afshin

But ¿what if I want to consume the SAC model from another App? if that model is saved in a Hana DB, I would like can acces to that data directly from hana
