SAC Analytics Cloud Planning with BW Live Connection

[michaelwecker]

Hello,

we can create a planning application withn SAC based on for example an Excel sheet basis with the data in the cloud. But when we want to use a planning BW Query via live conncetion for writing the planned data directly back to BW we are struggeling. Is it possible to use the SAC as a planning frontend and write directly back to BW via live conncetion or is that a limitation?

Thank you for your Support

Best regards

Michael

Hi Michael - my notes from this webcast earlier this week indicate you can't do planning with live connections (yet): https://blogs.sap.com/2019/03/06/sap-analytics-cloud-data-import-and-preparation-webcast-recap/

Hello Tammy thank you very much for your quick help. That is a big limitation as the costumers need their planning data within their BW Systems. Do you know if this is on the Agenda?

Thank you for your Support

Michael - I see Gregor's comment below - it references BW live with BPC embedded
