3157477 - Message: 'You do not have sufficient number of time slots to schedule publication/s' when adding multiple Views to a Publication in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

  • Unable to schedule a Publication with multiple Views.
  • Able to schedule a Publication with less Views in SAP Analytics Cloud.
  • When attempting to Schedule a Publication with multiple Views in SAP Analytics Cloud, it displays the message:

    "You do not have sufficient number of time slots to schedule X publication/s"

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. In SAP Analytics Cloud, create a Story.
  2. In the Story, create multiple bookmarks.
  3. Schedule a Publication for the Story with multiple Views.
  4. When clicking on "Check Availability" for the Schedule, it indicate:
      
    "You do not have sufficient number of time slots to schedule X publication/s."

Cause

  • There is no specific limit on the number of Views you can add when Scheduling a Publication, but each View represent one Publication, and there is a limit on the number of Publications per hour based on 5% of the number of SAP Analytics Cloud Licenses.

  • For example:
    • If you add 7 Views when Scheduling a Publication, it will equal to 7 Publications.
    • If 5% of the number of SAP Analytics Cloud Licenses purchase it less than 7, then it will display the message:
      "there is no sufficient number of times slots..." because each View represent one Publication. 
  • For more details, see the Blog on the SAP Community: Scheduling Publications – Number of publications

Resolution

  • The number of SAP Analytics Licenses will determine the number of Publications possible per hour. If the number of Publications allowed is greater or equal to the number of Views you want to Schedule, then you can Schedule it at a later time; Otherwise remove 1 or more Views from the Schedule to reach the number of Publications allowed per hour.
