Symptom
How to import CSV files stored in Azure storage locations into SAP Analytics Cloud?
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud.
Resolution
There is no feature available to directly consume a file share from Azure in SAP Analytics Cloud. However, as a workaround, the Azure File Share can be mounted to a Windows drive and used as a traditional file server.
Steps to Configure the File Server Connection:
- Create a "whitelist.txt" file on the machine where the Tomcat server is running and the SAP Analytics Cloud Agent is deployed:
-Include the full paths to the files you want to access from SAP Analytics Cloud.
-Ensure the appropriate access permissions are granted for the folder. - Set the environment variable for the file server whitelist.
- Restart Apache Tomcat as described in the Apache Tomcat installation guide.
- In SAP Analytics Cloud, go to: Main Menu > System > Administration
-Enable "Allow model import from File Server" (for model imports).
-Enable "Allow model export to File Server" (for model exports). - Go to Add Connection > Import Data Connection > File Server to create the connection.
