The SAP Analytics Cloud data analyzer is a tool for ad-hoc, slice-and-dice analysis. It is designed to work directly with specific, structured data sources. It supports live connections to SAP HANA views and SAP Datasphere models, allowing for real-time data exploration without data replication. Additionally, it is fundamentally designed to analyze data contained within SAP Analytics Cloud's own analytic models, which can be based on either imported data or live connections. These three source types are primary and fully supported for use within the data analyzer.

A. SAP Analytics Cloud public dataset: While data analyzer can be opened from a dataset, an analytic model is the primary, structured object for analysis. Public datasets are mainly for sample or demonstration purposes.

E. SAP BusinessObjects Universe: The data analyzer cannot connect directly to a BusinessObjects Universe (UNX). You must first create an SAP Analytics Cloud model based on the Universe, and then analyze that model.

"Using Data Analyzer": This official documentation outlines the methods for starting the data analyzer. It explicitly states that you can start data analyzer from a model (analytic or planning)

an SAP Datasphere model

an SAP BW query

or an SAP HANA live data model. This directly supports options B

C

and D.

"Supported Connection Types": This documentation details the various data sources SAC can connect to. While it lists SAP Universe (UNX)

the specific tooling support

like for data analyzer

is limited. The primary ad-hoc tool (data analyzer) is focused on BW

HANA

Datasphere

and native SAC models.

"About Models": This page clarifies that analytic models are the foundation for analysis and visualization in SAP Analytics Cloud. The data analyzer is a tool that consumes these models

confirming option D as a core source.
