Symptom
- "Upload failed. Please check the manifest file and try again."
- Error occurs when updating the add-in via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center (central deployment).
Environment
- SAP Analytics Cloud, add-in for Microsoft Office
Reproducing the Issue
- In the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, locate the deployed SAP Analytics Cloud add-in for Excel.
- Start the update by selecting Update for the add-in.
- The process fails with: "Upload failed. Please check the manifest file and try again."
Cause
- A known issue on the Microsoft central deployment side can prevent automatic updates of the add-in from the store in some tenants.
- The add-in manifest from SAP is not the root cause of the failure.
Resolution
If you require automatic rollout via central deployment, open a ticket with Microsoft support to address the tenant-specific central deployment issue that blocks updates from the store. Microsoft is aware that their centralized deployment scheme has certain issues with updates.
A workaround is to manually deploy it..
- Obtain the latest add-in manifest for manual deployment. Refer to: SAP Note 3289743 (Manual deployment of SAP Analytics Cloud, add-in for Microsoft Office).
- Perform a manual deployment of the add-in in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center using the manifest from Note 3289743.
- After deployment, verify the installed add-in version matches the current store release (for example, 1.23.0.0 or later).
