Cause
- The generated system emails are filtered by the users' email spam settings.
- The generated system emails arrive with a delay.
Resolution
- The email client's junk/spam filter may move suspected emails to the junk/spam folder. Adjust the spam filter settings to allow emails from SAP Analytics Cloud.
- Emails from unverified domains may be routed to the junk folder. Check the domain settings in your email client (for example, Outlook).
- Emails may occasionally be classified as junk while passing through central mail gateways. Verify the email server settings (for example, Microsoft Exchange).
- These checks should be performed by your IT department to ensure that the settings are correct and that no unintended filtering is occurring.
- Ensure that the following SAP Analytics Cloud domains are added to the email allow list:
- *.hana.ondemand.com
- *.sap.com
- *.sap.corp
- *.sapnetworkmail.com
- *.eunotify.cloud.opentext.eu
- *.notifications.sap.com
Action required after updating the allow-list above:
For emails sent to the system owner or newly created users, refer to KBA 2399123 - How to reset your password in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) to reset the password. This option is only available when the default IdP is used for SAC (https://cloudanalytics.accounts.ondemand.com).
- Note that the Welcome email may be delayed by up to two hours. SAP is actively working to reduce this delay.
- As per KBA 3247530 - Is it possible to re-send the activation mail from SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)?, resending the activation email is generally not supported and is not required.
