Change a Connection Type in SAP Analytics Cloud from Path to Direct without any impact to Story

[former_member598087]

Hello All,

This issue is regarding Connection type changes in SAP Analytics Cloud.

A few existing Path Connections in SAP Analytics Cloud have already been used to create models and Stories. Now, I need to change those connection types from Path to Direct without impacting the existing models and Stories. Is that possible? and if possible then how to achieve that.

Thanks,

Shraddha

Hi,

honestly, i never personally tried it, but so long as the CORS is configured and working correctly for your new connection approach , then it should switch fine.

with LIVE models in SAC, there's nothing physically held in the model, except a kind of 'metadata container' which can be kind of 'regenerated' when you go into it and save click again.

there is a specific workflow you need to do, to switch connections from "source A", from the toolbar here:

which then prompts you to confirm the new connection definition to "source B" :

so long as your new target has the same query definition, it should work fine without impacting your downstream stories at all.

regards,
