Hi experts,
in the past I´ve been using Input Parameters a lot and I was very satisfied with stuff like Mapping them for filter push down and so on. Due the fact, that I´m using Cognos BI as a frontend, I switched to Variables, because the SQL synthax is easier to handle.
If I´m using the Variable on several fields and checking the Mandatory box, all works fine in the Data Preview of HANA Studio. The Calc View won´t show any data, if I do not fill out the prompt of the Variable.
If I´m using a SQL statement (SELECT *) within the editor on the corresponding Column View in SYS_BIC, the query is still running, although the VARIABLE is mandatory.
Is there a chance to assign the variable as mandatory without using the synthax $$VAR_XX$$ inside the Calc View?
Is there anything that needs to be considered? Data Source of the Calc View is an Analytic View.
Best regards, Christoph.
