2937937 - The "Go!" button remains disabled when trying to logon to SAC in "SAC add-in for MS Office"

The users can access SAC just fine in browser using the same URL.

In case of Neo tenant, the error message below is displayed:
"Your current tenant is based on SAP Business Technology Platform (Neo). To connect to a Neo tenant, trusted origins need to be defined for the tenant".

When opening development tools the following message or similar appears:

"Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https ...' from origin '...' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

GET https://... net::ERR_FAILED 200 (OK)"

(in most of browsers dev tools can be opened by pressing F12 or CTRL+Shift+I)

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud, add-in for Microsoft Office

Reproducing the Issue

  1. In SAC, add-in for MS Office, click on "Login";
  2. Enter the tenant URL in the logon page;
  3. Confirm that the "Go!" button remains disabled.

Cause

  • The entered SAP Analytics Cloud tenant URL is incorrect.
    or
  • If the URL is correct and the button stays disabled, the URL is not defined as trusted origin in SAP Analytics Cloud server for the tenant.

Resolution

    • Check whether the tenant URL works fine when entered directly in browser and if SAC can be accessed just fine. If not, the URL entered in "SAC add-in for MS Office" is incorrect and will also not work.

    • Enter in browser the "<URL>/health" and check the results. This is a semantic check done by the add-in and should return something like this:

    • Make sure the site is defined as a trusted origin on SAP Analytics Cloud server. Refer to "Why does the Go! button stay disabled?" in "Troubleshooting & FAQ":

      All SAP Analytics Cloud tenants are preconfigured with the trusted origins sites. To check the configuration, sign in to your tenant and choose System > Administration > App Integration > Trusted Origins. You should find the following sites as trusted origins there:
      https://hcs.cloud.sap (no "*" should be entered here)
      https://*.live.com
      https://*.online.office.de
      https://*.sharepoint.com
