Resolution
We highly recommend using the Support Assistant to solve your issues faster!
See the following video for more information: Product Support -- Introducing the support assistant and support log assistant.
1. Generic information required to expedite case resolution
- What:
- Only one error or problem or issue or behavior should be logged for each case.
- Object name: The name or ID, and URL of the object like story, model, data action, analytic application, etc. Paste the direct URL if possible!
- Model Type: Analytic, planning, account or measure type, live, import (acquired / local), underlying data source (cloud or on-premise?), version / service pack of underlying data source. If Seamless Planning is in use, please mention it in the Subject or Issue Description.
- Details: Step-by-step description including navigation and expected results / actual results, process/workflow and the user (and role) that reproduced the error, problem, issue, or behavior.
- Performance Issues? See: Troubleshooting performance issues.
- Connection Issues? See: Troubleshooting Live connection issues or Troubleshooting Acquired connection issues.
- Time: When you experienced the issue, error or problem (if applicable).
- Errors, trace/console files, correlation ID and warnings (Mandatory for all front-end issues):
- Copy all errors or warnings observed in the application and in the browser console (Press F12 or CTRL + Shift + I on your keyboard).
- Attach a web browser HAR file and console log file to the case. See 2280022 - How to collect a HTTP archive (HAR) file. Mandatory for all front-end issues.
- Include the correlation ID (if available) to help track down the cause and help us resolve your case more quickly!
- Note: The correlation ID is saved with all errors, but isn't a code that corresponds to a specific error. Instead, it's a unique identifier generated by the system to help us trace what the system was doing when the error occurred.
- Check the System > Monitor > Trace area for any errors. See the message/stack/detail columns.
- Note: Please add this into the case text description. This helps our machine learning algorithms, see AI and Machine Learning Drive Automation in Product Support!
- User credentials: Enable support user creation by following the instructions at Get More Help and SAP Support (under the Create a Support User section).
- Once a support user is created by SAP, assign a role (i.e. Admin) to the newly created support user (SAP_SUPPORT_ACCESS#).
- Add other user credentials for underlying data sources (BW, S4/HANA, BPC, etc.) into the secure area if applicable. See 1773689 for more information.
- Note 1: Share the object such as the story, model, bookmark or connection by using the share icon, if available.
- Note 2: Provide connection information for the data sources (live or import) connected to SAP Analytics Cloud. See Remote Support.
- System (URL) used: You may have multiple systems (test, production etc. URLs) but we do not know the exact one you are using.
- Which of your systems or products is affected? Choose the correct system ID to receive the correct service level agreement (SLA):
- Product: SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD
- Installation: SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD
- System/Product: Choose the correct system using the description as your guide.
- Components: Please select the correct component based on your issue.

2. Contact details
- Time zone: If you would like to speak to an engineer who works in the same time zone. Make sure your s-user information is up to date.
- Phone: We cannot get in touch with you if your details are outdated. Easy to fix if you review article 1271545.
3. Attachments
- Attachments have size and extension limits.
- Verify that the attachment is listed after the wheel has finished spinning.
- Note: It's better to add specific text, keywords and error messages into the case text as opposed to attaching the information into a file.
This helps our machine learning algorithms, see AI and Machine Learning Drive Automation in Product Support!
4. Issue details (Technical information and symptoms)
- Confirm: Only product errors / issues are reported to us (See SAP Note 83020) and the correct case priority is set (See SAP Note 67739).
- Note: If you need consulting or have a how-to question, please ask a question on the SAP Analytics Cloud community forum.
- Describe in detail what is the behavior of the System. Describe in few sentences what is happening. What did you expect and what happened instead? Please be as detailed as possible.
- Example: I log in using user example@example.com, go to menu Browse > Stories > Open Public story "Summary", open the story and select filter Month: June, there is an error "abc xyz"
- Provide steps to reproduce in a similar way:
- Logon with user example@example.com
- Go to menu Browse > Stories
- Open "Monthly Summary" and go to the second tab
- In the chart "Monthly payments", click the second bar and filter on X.
Note: Add screenshots and a video (if applicable). - Provide specific data source types and versions (including service pack / patch) information according to the System Requirements and Technical Prerequisites.
- Please open the service connection for remote access, if applicable. See remote support.
Note: For backend / on-premise live connections, a HTTP Connect - URL access connection can now be used. - For SAP BW or SAP BW/4HANA live data connections:
- For backend / on-premise BW / BW/4HANA live connections, the SAP Cloud Connector can be used. See section Granting Support Users Access to Live Data.
- See SAP Note 2541557.
- Run the SAP BW and SAP BW/4HANA Note Analyzer tool.
- Provide us with the Information needed for BW Live Connectivity issue analysis.
5. Troubleshooting already (or to be) performed
- For story related errors/issues, follow the Common Chart Errors troubleshooting steps.
- Test with a different user.
- Test with a different model.
- Copy the story and/or simplify or remove parts or sections of it. Leave only the table or chart (widget) that is causing an issue or error.
