Variables in HANA Views

[Former Member]

BOE Server, Explorer and Client version 2.8

HANA DB Rlease 21

I created a HANA view with variable. When I tried doing data preview in the studio, I get prompted to select the values. Where as when I tried using in the Exlorer or IDT, the variable is being ignored.

Do I need certain version of BOE software to make use of it?

The latest release from BOE is fix pack 2.8.

thanks for your help

You can use HANA views in crystal reports. You can also pass our Hana views parameters inside the reports. BO 4.x allow us to use HANA views as a source.

Babu,

Variables has two aspects: development of variables in SAP HANA and second recognition of these variables in BOBJ tools.

Currently HANA view cannot recogonized by BOBJ reporting tools. As per my understanding based on SAP discussion, there is future released planned however not sure on time-line.

If you are using Analysis for Office, you may be able to use macros combine with AO functions to achieve it.

Hope it helps.

Thanks

You mean variables in HANA views are not recogonized by BOBJ reporting tools?

In the current version of BOBJ tools, answer is yes.
