BDC Connect for Snowflake now supports bidirectional data sharing on AWS with zero copies and preserved business context. ✅ Scheduled delta loads for replication flows: Schedule replication flows that use delta-enabled objects or include them in task chains, so all available delta records are processed and completed cleanly after each run. ✅ Bulk assignment of schedule owners: Assign a schedule owner to multiple task chains at once, reducing repetitive admin work in larger environments. ✅ Lineage graph analysis with runtime metrics: Analyze the full lineage graph of a view, including underlying source objects, to find performance bottlenecks faster. ✅ Transport runtime settings for flows and views: Export runtime settings for transformation flows and view persistency as part of transport packages for more consistent deployment across dev, test, and production. ✅ Variables in analytic models: Customize variables when using one analytic model as the source for another, including renaming variables, changing defaults, and using them in restricted measures or calculations. ✅ SAP Analytics Cloud Q2 2026 highlights: Get a quick pointer to the top five Q2 features, including asymmetric reporting, composite versioning, job monitor enhancements, the decoupled data panel, and recent and favorites in open and save dialogs.
