Add and Trigger Planning Sequence for a BPC Live Data Connection Model
To enrich the planning features in a story based on a BPC live data connection model, we now allow you to directly trigger planning sequences created in BPC from a SAP Analytics Cloud story, as well as set variable values.
Context
If the planning sequence variables you defined in BPC are mandatory without default value, make sure you apply the note 2738235 . Otherwise, the variable dialog might not popup correctly in SAP Analytics Cloud.
Also be noticed that the planning function type File Upload from AO is currently not supported.
Procedure
Results
The planning sequence widget is successfully created and displayed in the canvas.
You can click the (Play icon) to trigger the planning sequence. Corresponding data are refreshed automatically after the planning sequence is executed. Roles of executing the planning sequences are defined in the BPC backend via two authorization objects S_RS_PLSE and S_RS_PLSQ.
After creating a planning sequence, you still have the chance to edit its settings. Choose the planning sequence and click the (edit) button in the widget’s right-side menu.
