Dear all,
we have a requirement to build analytical scenarios in SAC based on data from SMC. Roughly we have two possible routes, where I only find documentation for the first one
- Live Connection
- Import Connection
I tried to go the Live Connection route first, albeit it is not needed to have an application kind of integration in SMC where one could browse / see SAC stories in SMC (if that is what distinguishes application enabling integrations from "normal" ones, see below)
So within the Live Connection we seem to have again two possibilities
- Application Enabling Integrations "Integration with SAP Analytics Cloud (1SO)" (two way)
- "Normal" Live connections (one way)
With every possibilitiy I have some questions / uncertaincies, unfortunately
- Live Connection Application Enabling: Do you really need to bind your SAC to the SMCs slices of IAS for SAML IdP authentication? In other words: even if we preface that SAML authentication with a corporate IdP, technically we are connected to SMC-IAS and when SMC will be phasing out we will need to reconnect things?
- Live Connection Application Enabling: In that vicinity, did someone succeed staying with a corporate IdP on the SAC side (one does not have that liberty on the SMC side, I know)
- Live Connection Normal: In this setup I read the help file that it would not be needed to be on the same SAML IdP. Did someone do this kind of connection successfuly? If so, what would I be missing from the full fledged "Application Enabling" connection? Really just ways of seeing SAC stories in SMC?
- Import: I did not find any explicit information on Import Connection from SAC to SMC.Would those connection re-use the communication arrangement "SAP_COM_0065" and those INA services in there? Any push in the right direction would be great
I know, this is a mouthful. I'd be happy for any input on this
Many thanks and kind regards
Jens
