3478863 - Transporting Models based on Import connection between tenants in SAC Analytics Cloud (SAC)

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:
    1. Export model from a source system.
    2. Do not include the connection in the exported package.
    3. Import package in target system.
    4. Create connection manually in the target system.
    5. Run import job on the imported model.
    6. --> Import job fails because it is referring to the original connection's ID.
  • Scenario 2:
    1. Export model from a source system.
    2. Include the connection in the exported package.
    3. Import package in target system.
    4. Enter the connection credentials in the target system – the connection here has the same ObjectID as in the source system.
    5. Run import job on the imported model.
    6. --> 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.
