Exploring Import Data Connections to Cloud Applications

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to describe the import data connection to cloud applications process flow.

Import Data Connections to Cloud Applications

Let's take a closer look at the process flow for creating import data connections to cloud applications and the team you will work with to set up the connections.

Supported Data Sources

Remember, import data connections allow data acquisition from remote data sources where a copy of the source system's data is imported to SAP Analytics Cloud. Any changes made to the data in the source system doesn't affect the data in SAP Analytics Cloud.

SAP Analytics Cloud Connection Types. Available data sources (listed below) and workflow for import data connections for cloud applications.

Import data connections to cloud applications can be created using the standard connectors provided in SAP Analytics Cloud.

  • Google BigQuery
  • Google Drive
  • OData Services
  • SAP Concur
  • SAP Fieldglass
  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud
  • SAP SuccessFactors
  • Qualtrics
  • ...and more

Import data connections to public APIs can be created using the SAP Business Technology Platform.

Data Volume Maximums

  • Columns: 100

  • Dimension members:
    • Planning models: 250,000
    • Analytic models: if there are more than 250,000 unique members, the dimension will be made read-only
  • Dimension members with attributes: 150,000
  • Dimension members with geo enrichment: 200,000
  • Dimension members in hierarchy: 150,000
  • Hierarchy depth: 1,000
