For a model in SAP Analytics Cloud you are using a live connection. Where is the data stored?

APublic dataset

BSAP Analytics Cloud model

CSource system

DEmbedded dataset

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

When an SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) model utilizes a live connection, the data is not stored within SAP Analytics Cloud itself. Instead, the data resides entirely in the source system. This means that SAC directly queries the data from the connected system (e.g., SAP HANA, SAP BW, SAP S/4HANA, or SAP Datasphere) in real-time every time a user interacts with the story or application. Only metadata, such as dimension definitions and measure aggregations, is stored in SAC. This approach offers several significant advantages: it ensures that users always work with the most current data, eliminates the need for data replication, and often addresses data privacy and security concerns by keeping sensitive data within the customer's secure landscape. The 'live' nature means that any changes in the source system are immediately reflected in SAC.

Wait, are you sure? I thought it was in the SAC model.

Yup, live connection means no data in SAC itself.

I’m confused; I thought live connections meant data was stored in the cloud model, but now I’m leaning towards C as well.

I have a vague recollection that live connections don't store data in SAP Analytics Cloud models, so it must be in the source system.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I believe the answer is C, the source system.

I think the data is stored in the source system when using a live connection, but I'm not entirely sure.

I've got this one! With a live connection, the data is definitely stored in the source system, not in SAP Analytics Cloud. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Okay, let me walk through this step-by-step. Since we're using a live connection, the data isn't stored in a public dataset or an SAP Analytics Cloud model. That leaves the source system or an embedded dataset. I think the data is likely stored in the source system, but I'll double-check that to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we use a live connection, but I can't remember if the data is stored in the source system or in an embedded dataset. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems straightforward. I'm pretty sure the data is stored in the source system, not in SAP Analytics Cloud itself.

I've got a hunch that the data is stored in the source system. After all, that's the whole point of a live connection, right? Might as well go with C and see what happens.

This one's tricky, but I'm leaning towards C. The data has to be stored somewhere outside of SAP Analytics Cloud, right? Gotta love these trick questions!

Yeah, I agree. It makes sense that the live connection pulls data from the source system.
