Great article! Could you please let me know when this add-in will support models using a BW Live or SAP Data Warehouse Cloud Live connection?
Hi,
Yes ,great news ! SAP Data Warehouse Cloud Live connection is planned to be released to customer by end of this week ( around Oct 6). Then you will benefit from the add-in Excel strengths on top of DWC sources.
Next live source we do plan to support is S/4HANA Cloud. Others sources as BW are in our backlog too but not for mid -term direction. You can have a deeper look in our road map .

SAP Data Warehouse Cloud live connectivity is available now ! See this blog. for further details.
Hi Jeanne, one other question. Does this add-in support models in DWC with Input Parameters? Appreciate any light you could shed on this.
Regards,
Vibhav
Hi Vibhav,
Models in DWC with input parameters are not supported in ocean currently.
Even native SAC model with input parameters are also not supported.
Thanks and Regards,
Basavaraj
Hi Jeanne, is there any view as to when the Live source to S/4HANA Cloud would be available? I had a look at the roadmap but can't see any mention of this yet.
Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Kris
Hi Kris this is planned for H2 22 . Best Jeanne
Hello Jeanne,
What a great article it is!
I have also same question in my mind, when will BW Live connection be available? In the roadmap we only able to see next quarter. Do you have any rough delivery date?
Best,
Beyza
Dear Jeanne,
Thx for your nice posts.
We do have the SAC live connection installed on BW4HANA system. And the excel analytics cloud is also installed.
After sign-in in excel sap anaytics cloud, when I want to add a Tabel, I get the standard system models. It is Samples.
I am getting the models we created in SAC.
I don't know what I am missing.
Is the live connection functionality available or is this what you mean by availability planned for H2 22 ?
Thx,
Hi
currently we read data based on acquired models and the first live source we do support is Data Warehouse Cloud .
We do plan for more live source support but we are going step by step and next one planned to be supported is S4Hana Cloud .
BW/Hana support are known requirements but not yet planned concretely in our road map.
