use shape file in R visualization in SAC Sap analytics cloud

[former_member1372997]

Hi all,

I would like to create an R visualization based on some shape file (.shp, .dbf). I know that the shape files can be uploaded as a point of interest to be displayed as a layer in some geomaps, but I do not know how to access the point of interest via R Script. Is this even possible?

Uploading the shape file as a data model or data source is not supported so far, so I wasn't able to include the shape file in the R visualization in the common way.

Has anyone some ideas how I can access the shape file via R Script in SAC?

Thank you for visiting SAP Community to get answers to your questions. I am here to help you to get the most out of it.

First of all, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with https://community.sap.com/resources/questions-and-answers (if you haven't done so already), as it provides tips for preparing questions that draw responses from our members.
For example you:
- can outline what steps you took to find answers (and why they weren't helpful)
- can share screenshots of what you've seen/done
- can use a descriptive subject line

Please also make sure you're using all appropriate tags, so the right experts can find your question. Overall, the more details you provide, the more likely it is that members will be able to assist you. Should you wish, you can revise your question by selecting Actions, then Edit (although once someone answers your question, you'll lose the ability to edit the question - but if that happens, you can leave more details in a comment).

Finally, if you're hoping to connect with readers, please consider adding a picture to your profile. Here's how you do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5JdUbyjfMA&list=PLpQebylHrdh5s3gwy-h6RtymfDpoz3vDS. By personalizing your profile with a photo of you, you encourage readers to respond.
