Symptom
- While exporting a model based on an import connection, is it a prerequisite to include the connection in the exported package?
- Are the connections referenced by ID or by name in a model's import job in SAC?
Environment
- SAP Analytics Cloud Enterprise
- Import Data connection
Reproducing the Issue
- Scenario 1:
-
- Export model from a source system.
- Do not include the connection in the exported package.
- Import package in target system.
- Create connection manually in the target system.
- Run import job on the imported model.
- --> Import job fails because it is referring to the original connection's ID.
- Scenario 2:
-
- Export model from a source system.
- Include the connection in the exported package.
- Import package in target system.
- Enter the connection credentials in the target system – the connection here has the same ObjectID as in the source system.
- Run import job on the imported model.
- --> Import job runs successfully.
Cause
- The connections are referenced by internal IDs in the model's import jobs (and not by connection name).
- These IDs are not exposed to the users.
Resolution
- It is required to include the connections in the exported package for the transported models and their import jobs to function correctly on the target system. This is by design.
- If the connection is created manually in the target system, all the old import jobs will not work, and new ones must be created based on the newly created connection.
