WFA on HANA enablement issue

Hi,

@YSE-1 I had a bit of a trouble with getting WFA on HANA up and running for a customer - basically they did not have licenses yet, went and bought them. SAP confirms licenses are in place. Honestly I have never been involved in licensing topic, whenever I started a project the steps I would take is sort out RBP to make sure I have access to Data Factory, upload template, open support ticket for Measure Views and get on with the configuration.

Now, in this case, after SAP confirmed the licenses are in place, I couldn t find the permission for Data Factory in either Analytics permissions - Role Maintenance or RBP (manage WFA switches ON). 

I went into Provisioning and the Customer has WFA license checkbox was not enabled, however, I simply tried to mark the checkbox as per KBA: https://me.sap.com/notes/0002527309 

NOTE: I have never marked that checkbox on my own, I always assumed it s automatic even though it is not grayed out like the other options below it.

Then I got the Data Factory to appear in the instance, went on with importing the template and immediately got the following error:

Strange, but then I went to check validation and found:

Still strange, since it s just the template and never had issues with it, went to the dimensions page - editing the dimension gives this error:

Also, trying to edit the SQL, clicking validate it also throws an error...it s the standard generic code and should work but well...

So I decided to just delete the 2 dimensions with the error and run the cube again.

After deleting them and getting back to Data Factory:

I have closed everything down and tried again back from importing a fresh template, all steps went exactly the same, so I am stuck.

Would you please be so kind to have a look into this?

Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Alex

Hi @abalasescu2 - I don't have access to this environment so I cannot check.  Can you please check if you can create canvas report with EC data and see any data when viewing the report?  If the report is error, most likely the ODS report has not been setup and you need to get CS to set it up.

If the canvas report with EC data is working, rather than removing the dimension, you can try to change the dimension into manually configured without any label or description.  Basically, just bring the field from Job Info as is.  If still error, try changing the Job Info field used for these 2 dimensions.  It is possible that the customer did not setup these fields for their EC.

Hi, I have checked all but still not working, I still believe there is something in the backend not enabled properly.

Canvas Advance Reporting/EC data works fine, I tried making the 2 dimensions both manually maintained as well as remove the source field as indeed they are not configured (the regular temporary one) and I still get the same. Under Company Status I get "Configuration is not valid. Build Fact Data & Cube will fail. For list of errors use Validation.", if I click Validation all seems OK. Then if I click build I get "Found one cube that already exists and needs to be deleted. Are you sure you want to proceed ?" to which I select yes and then I get the browser error "Application Error An error occurred in processing your request". Please support further... Off topic, for some reason I cannot tag you in the replies. @ just does nothing
