Symptom
When using SAC tracking activity with Content Link objects the following behaviour is shown:
Link is open from a Card in the catalog, it does not appear in usage tracking, neither in Security/Activities nor in the "SAC Content Usage" story (SAP Analytics Cloud Tracking Content)
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC 2021.19.0)
Reproducing the Issue
To reproduce:
- In SAC -> Files create a new item of type Content Link. Set the link to any external XLS file or other document. Give it a name, in my example in screenshots I named it "Webi doc"
- Share this content to catalog, a card will be created with this link in the catalog
- From Files: open this content
- Check in Security/Activities, filter by current user and file name Web doc. The activity Read for this content is correctly recorded and displayed.
- Open the "SAP Content Usage" and go to page Session Information, then Table Activities Per Session: the activity Read of object "Webi doc" is also recorded here.
- Now go to catalog, in the card you created click "Open" button to open the link and the referenced document
- Go back to Security/Activities, there is no trace of this action.
- Go to the "SAP Content Usage" story again, there is no trace of this action here too.
