Symptom
When importing data into a public dimension from a BW datasource, dimensions defined as a decimal type in the BW server get imported as text objects instead of decimal or numeric objects. If those same dimensions are imported into a model, they are correctly imported as decimal type objects.
Environment
- SAP Analytics Cloud (Enterprise) 2024.8.10
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a new public dimension
- Create a new data import job base on a BW import connection
- Select a view that contains decimal objects
- import the dimensions and note that they are listed as text objects rather than numeric or decimal
Cause
