3794580 - URL link containing analyticapp reference no longer works after 2026 QRC3 release - sap analytics cloud

• Prior to 2026 QRC3 release it was possible to open Analytic Designer applications that had been converted to ODE stories by continuing to use the existing analyticapp URL link.
• For instance, a direct URL link of form: https://{tenantURL}/sap/fpa/ui/app.html#/analyticapp?shellMode=embed&/aa/705A5902A5A6EC3FF812964B2BC65072 would open the converted ODE story, even though it contains the reference to "analyticapp?” and "/aa/"
• As of QRC3 these links no longer work and it is necessary to replace "analyticapp?" with "story2?” and “/aa/“ with “/s2/": https://{tenantURL}/sap/fpa/ui/app.html#/story2?shellMode=embed&/s2/705A5902A5A6EC3FF812964B2BC65072

• SAP Analytics Cloud 2026.15 and later versions.

1. Access a landing page that contains hard-coded links to applications or stories.
2. Click the links to open the target content.
3. Observe that the links no longer open the intended content.

• The classic experience (classic stories, data analyzer insights, and analytic applications) was deprecated in the 2026 QRC3 release
• Direct analyticapp URL routes are no longer supported, so hard-coded links that reference analyticapp do not resolve.

We are investigating a potential fix for this issue to re-enable the existing analyticapp URL links. Please monitor this KBA for any further updates if we confirm that this fix is feasible.

If feasible a solution would be to replace the references to the analyticapp with story2 references:

1. Identify all hard-coded links that reference the deprecated analyticapp route.
2. Update each link by replacing the URL https://[TENANT_URL]/sap/fpa/ui/app.html#/analyticapp&/aa/[STORY_ID]/?mode=view with https://[TENANT_URL]/sap/fpa/ui/app.html#/story2&/s2/[STORY_ID]/?mode=view
3. Update all landing pages, portals, and embedded integrations to use the new story2 URLs.
4. Ask users to update any personal bookmarks that still point to analyticapp URLs.
5. Test each updated link to confirm it opens the intended story or experience without errors.

NOTE IF the asset still cannot be found, then it means that the asset was not converted and is lost with the deprecation of the Classic Experience.
