SAC Live Connections

As of 2026-05-29

Live connections: right choice when freshness < 15 min AND source absorbs query load. Three types: HANA direct (sub-minute ops), Datasphere live (governed analytics, DAC inheritance), BW live (legacy BEx path). Live vs Import decision matrix covers 6 criteria. DAC inheritance = enterprise security pattern (no replication). Perf: push aggregation to AM, limit chart volume < 500K rows, monitor story performance logs.
