New Features in Version 2021.15

Business Modeling

New or changed features are available for the business layer:

Objects Saved in Repository

Business entities and authorization scenarios are now saved in the same repository then the data layer objects. When you want to delete an object in the data layer which is used in a business entity, the system prevents this. This is why these objects now need to get a technical name when they are defined. All the business entities and authorization scenarios which have been created before and didn’t have a technical name yet get a unique technical name automatically.
Consumption of Perspectives

When you use perspectives to build Stories in SAP Analytics Cloud, you can now explore your data using the star schema which has been defined in the Business Builder. This means that attributes are now exposed with the dimension they belong to.

Data Integration

New or changed features are available for data integration:

Replicate in real-time your remote tables using an SAP HANA smart data access connection.

For remote tables using an SAP HANA smart data access connection, it’s now possible to replicate your data changes in real-time but with some restrictions.

For more information, see Replicate Data Changes in Real-Time.
New privilege DWC_DATAINTEGRATION
In the Data Integration Monitor, resources consuming tasks such as data loading, persisting of a view, scheduling of tasks, can be performed by different types of user profiles. Thus, a new privilege DWC_DATAINTEGRATION has been created to allow for a more targeted permission concept for direct execution and scheduling aspects of the Data Integration Monitor.
Note

The introduction of this privilege requires a manual adaptation of existing custom roles. All standard roles delivered by default in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud have already been updated and contain the new privilege object.
To maintain the same level of authorizations for your users, you need to additionally:
- Set the Read permission to the newly introduced privilege DWC_DATAINTEGRATION where you had set so far DWC_REMOTECONNECTION with Read permission.
- Set the Update and Execute permissions for the newly introduced privilege DWC_DATAINTEGRATION where you had set so far DWC_REMOTECONNECTION with Update permission.
Also note that this addition to your custom roles will not grant additional authorizations to your users. Any user who has currently the permission Update of the existing privilege DWC_REMOTECONNECTION has the same level of authorization covered by the permissions Update and Execute with the new privilege DWC_DATAINTEGRATION.
For more information, see Privileges and Permissions.
