3580744 - Compatibility Guidance for Using Optimized Story Experience with SAP BW Live Data

Symptom

  • SAP recommends that customers regularly check and update their BW system with the quarterly cumulative BW patch list, please see refer to this blog post for more details: https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-sap/ensure-smooth-and-efficient-integration-of-sap-analytics-cloud-by-keeping/ba-p/13870564

  • BW InA patches for Classic Stories have been implemented as a prerequisite, see 2715030 - Considerations when using SAP BW and SAP S/4HANA Live Connections in SAC.

  • Lacking the necessary BW InA patches before migrating to, or implementing new Stories can lead to Optimized Stories that are persisted in a incorrect state and require the customer’s Story Designer modify the widgets in the Story to recover, see SAP Notes marked with (*)
    • The recovery of a widget involves removing and re-adding measure and/or reconfiguring dimension hierarchy and level settings in the Chart bindings to get it into the correct state.

  • Many of these BW InA patches enable performance improvements (BW Persisted InA, AutoSubmit, etc) that are exclusive to Optimized Stories.

  • The list below contains common issues, however, it is not an exhaustive list of all known fixes for SAC with BW live. Regularly checking and implementing/updating BW patches is considered as mandatory and preferred for customers using Optimized Stories: 2541557 - SAP Analytics Cloud with BW live connection - How to keep the BW system in sync with SAC - Which BW support package is recommended?
