The SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) data analyzer is a tool for ad-hoc data exploration. It operates directly on SAC analytic models (D), which act as the semantic layer. These models can be based on various underlying data sources. Among the most prominent and strategic live data sources that are fully supported for use in models explored by the data analyzer are SAP HANA views (B) and SAP Datasphere models (C). These sources allow for real-time, detailed analysis without data replication, which is a primary use case for the data analyzer.

A. SAP Analytics Cloud public dataset: While data analyzer can technically open datasets, public datasets are sample data intended for demonstration or training, not a primary enterprise data source for serious ad-hoc analysis.

E. SAP BusinessObjects Universe: Although a supported connection, it is primarily for leveraging existing legacy assets. SAP's strategic focus for modern analytics, especially with tools like data analyzer, is on native sources like HANA and Datasphere.

"Data Analyzer": This official documentation explicitly states that data analyzer is used to get a detailed view of data from a model. It then lists the supported live data sources for these models

including SAP HANA

SAP Datasphere

and SAP BusinessObjects Universe. This supports the inclusion of (B)

(C)

and (D) as the model is the direct object and HANA/Datasphere are key underlying sources.
