3276816 - In Salesforce Model, in the Import Data option, the Salesforce connector is missing

Symptom

When using a model based on a Salesforce connection, the Salesforce connector is not available in the Data Source list to import data into the model.

Also the Rebuild option is greyed out. The following message is displayed when hovering over the option:

  • Rebuild model: This model is missing some dependencies needed for rebuild

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud 2022.21.7 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open a model based on a Salesforce connection
  2. Change to the Data Management Workspace and select Import Data From Data Source 
    The Salesforce connector is not available in the list 
  3. On the toolbar, try to Rebuild the Model > Note the message:
    Rebuild model: This model is missing some dependencies needed for rebuild 

Cause

We can only import Salesforce data as it is without any manipulation on SAP Analytics cloud side.  Therefore, import data workflow is not supported.  
Rebuild model is also a manipulation function, so it is not supported.

Resolution

This is the expected behavior by design. Please submit an enhancement request or vote in customer influence portal following this KBA: 2424376.
