Hi,
I would like to know following information for my knowledge.
With SAP BO 4.1 SP3, it has started supporting HANA variables and input parameters in Relational HANA Universe. But while refreshing the WEBI reports on top of that Universe, the variables are presented along with some Technical Details. Please see the screenshot below.
Here is my first question -
1. Is there any way to have custom text (without Technical details) for variable which is more friendly for Business Users e.g. "Select Country" etc.?
For the above requirement instead of creating the universe objects directly from HANA CV, I know we can create a derive table in Universe and map universe prompts to HANA variables using PLACE_HOLDER keyword (Usually done using something like select * from <CV> 'PLACE_HOLDER'....etc) and create universe objects from Derive table instead of CV directly. But I wonder if that would impact performance of WEBI Report built on it. Here is my second question -
2. Assume I have a BO universe defined on HANA Calcualtion views with variables whose variables are exposed through derived table using the syntax mentioned above and a WEBI report created on top of it. In the WEBI report, I am selecting only 4 objects out of 10 available objects in Universe from the same Calculation view in HANA. While executing the query, does the entire HANA Calculation view gets executed (all 10 objects) or only the ones that are used in query i.e. 4?
Please help me understand.
Thanks & Regards,
Abhijit
