3583684 - The upload job allows data upload on the parent member in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

  • In SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), currently the system allows to upload data to a node member using the upload job without spreading this data into the leaf members. As a result, the data on the parent level does not reflect the aggregation of its leaf members.
  • For the import job, it is not allowed to save data to the parent member.
  • You would like to disable the upload capability on non leaf members for the upload job.

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Configure the upload job for the data with some parent dimension members.
  2. Navigate to the story and run the upload job.
  3. Upon successful upload from the story, observe that the data is placed in the parent node of the hierarchy.
  4. Note that the data is not being disaggregated to the child subcategories under the hierarchy.

Cause

The described behavior is currently the expected functionality within the File Upload feature in SAC.
