3428297 - Live Connection between SAC and S/4HANA Cloud - Prerequisites

What are the prerequisites to configure a Live Connection between SAC and S/4HANA Cloud?

• SAP Analytics Cloud
• SAP S/4HANA Cloud

As per Live Data Connection to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Edition via OAuth, the tenant has to use "Custom SAML User Mapping" as the SAML attribute.

This Custom SAML User Mapping has to be the same as the Login Name of the user in SAC, and the same as the Business User Name of the user in S/4HANA Cloud. E-mail address is not allowed because S/4 HANA does not accept special characters.

• "SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) must be enabled in SAP Analytics Cloud. For more information, see Enable a Custom SAML Identity Provider/Enable a Custom SAML Identity Provider for SAC | SAP Help Portal . The following settings must be applied:

  1. Under Step 3, set the SAML User Mapping to Custom SAML User Mapping. Under Security >  Users, the value in the Custom SAML User Mapping column must equal the User Data  User Name of the corresponding business user in the SAP S/4HANA system.

• The steps must be carried out by a user who logs on to both the SAP S/4HANA and SAP Analytics Cloud system via the SAML Identity Provider. For the steps in the SAP Analytics Cloud system, the BI Admin role is required. For the steps in the SAP S/4HANA system, the Administrator role (role template ID SAP_BR_ADMINISTRATOR) is required. For more information, see SAP Analytics Cloud Integration."
