3701306 - Table Data Not Visible in View Mode in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

  • The story does not display data in view mode, an error message is shown:
    "Any operations resulting in data refresh are paused"
  • Data is visible in edit mode.

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) 2025.21

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in to SAC.
  2. Open a story in view mode using a user with full control over the story. Expected data is not visible, and the message "Any operations resulting in data refresh are paused" appears.
  3. Open the story in edit mode. Data is visible for all expected columns and rows.
  4. Then change back to the view mode. Data is also visible.

Cause

The issue is related to the table setting in the story being set to "Always Pause," preventing data from refreshing in view mode.

Resolution

  1. Log in to SAC and open the story, then change to "Edit" mode.
  2. Select the table and then click the "Right Side Panel" button.
  3. In the properties section of the Right Side Panel, change "Always Pause" to "Always Refresh"
  4. Save and reopen the story. The data should now be visible.
