3609213 - Schedule settings of an import job will be overwritten in the target tenant if selecting "overwrite objects and data" during importing content

Symptom

Schedule settings of an import job will be overwritten in the target tenant if selecting "overwrite objects and data" during importing content.

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Logon SAC tenant.
  2. Go to Transport/Export/Content Network Storage page.
  3. Click New Export.
  4. Select a public dimension and export successfully.
  5. Access the existed public dimension in the target tenant.
  6. Select the import job and click the Schedule Settings.
  7. Set the Frequency Repeating, then click Save button.
  8. Daily is shown in the Schedule column of the import job.
  9. Go to Transport/Import/Content Network Storage page
  10. Import the exported package in step4 with import option "Overwrite objects and data".
  11. Access the existed public dimension in the target tenant again.
  12. Unscheduled is shown in the Schedule column of the import job.

 The same issue happens on models.

The same issue happens when trying to export/import by File System.

Cause

This is by design.

When selecting "overwrite objects and data", the schedule settings of the import job will be overwritten as well.

In some cases, customers want to keep the schedule settings of the import job from source tenant. 

There is no such an option to overwrite objects and data but keeping import job settings in the target tenant at current time.
