Symptom

  • Not able to load file content from ADLS Blob location using SFTP in SAP Analytics Cloud
  • The job failed during plugin execution
  • .har file may indicate "errorCode": "PLUGIN_EXECUTION_ERROR" and/or "rawError": "Plugin service failed in executing job"

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud
  • SAP Open Connectors
  • Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create new connection of SFTP Element with hostname and credentials provided for ADLS Blob storage device
  2. Create new model or dataset using that connection
  3. Objects will be visible to select for import
  4. Select one of the objects
  5. Shortly after, Plugin execution error will be received

Cause

  • The SFTP Connector requires that the files to be served not be in the root directory itself, but be in a directory

Resolution
