3358484 - "Cannot find dynamic text object" message in SAP Analytics Cloud for Planning (SAC)

Symptom

When using dynamic text for BW query variable in a SAC story or Analytic Designer application the variable shows the correct data in Edit mode.

However, when opening the story or AD App in View mode the message "Cannot find dynamic text object" shows instead.

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud all versions

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Add a dynamic text variable from a Live data model
  2. Save the story and close it
  3. Open the story in view mode, dynamic text variable will not resolve into the expected value from the model

Cause

  • Some dynamic text variables require the model to be loaded into memory at view time before they can be resolved.
  • e.g.: "last refresh time" requires that the model be loaded before it can be displayed.
  • Typically, model is loaded when the data from the model is used in a chart or table.
  • In edit mode, the model is automatically created, so this issue does not occur.

Resolution

This behaviour is working as expected.

If the widget that uses the model is not in the view port or current page, the model is not loaded for performance reasons, and in this case, the dynamic text cannot read the refresh time of the model.

It is necessary to have at least one chart or table referencing the model to resolve any dynamic text that requires the model content to return the requested data
