Possible to read SAP- Customer Exit variable

[former_member197738]

Hi,

I've live connection and I'm trying to read an Customer Exit variable. I am not sure if this is supported as I'm not able to retrieve any value out of the variable.

This exit-variable is not under visible prompts to the query, this is behind the scene handling CostCenter authorization for users. However I'm able to retrieve any other variables that I have visible in query.

Please share your thoughts, thanks

Hello mohd.fahad,

Customer exist variables are supported.Check this support matrix-

SAP Analytics Cloud Support Matrix for Live Connectivity to SAP NetWeaver BW and SAP BW/4HANA

Although from personal experience we were able to use them only when they are made visible. Authorization relivant variables are supported as well. Altough again, you need to make them visible like other variable.

Thanks,

Thanks Prabhakaran/Vijayeta seems like making them visible is the only way.

In Lumira Designer we had an option to hide a variable from Prompts, even if its visible at query level (However Its not exactly hide, as you can still see it in Designer but just not visible to users on prompt screen) and you can still use that variable for scripting.

I don't see an option to remove certain variables in SAC-Designer, that we don't want to show user under Prompt-Dialog-Box. Reason I'm asking is, I'm consuming same queries from Lumira-Designer to SAC-Designer. Would like to avoid duplicates queries for something that small.

Hello mohd.fahad,

I can understand coming from Lumira background my self. Unfortunately there are many areas where SAC still catching up. This is one of many other functions missing in SAC.

Thanks,

Thanks Vijayeta for sharing background info, it would be easier to follow through my queries and likewise.

It is unfortunate, let hope these gaps are addressed soon.

Appreciate your response, thanks
