Definition

If a request for a DataSource is scheduled in BI, selection conditions can be defined for certain fields. The property that defines whether a selection with a field is possible or necessary in BI is defined in the DataSource in the source system.

In addition, you can define the visibility of the field in BI: a field that is not visible (that is hidden) cannot be transferred to the transfer structure.

The field property also defines whether the customer can change the properties Selection and Transfer in DataSource post-processing.

Meaning of the values:

  • 'A': Field hidden in OLTP and BI; property cannot be changed in DataSource post-processing
  • 'M': DataSource needs a selection with this field in order to extract data (required field for generating a request); property cannot be changed in DataSource post-processing
  • ' ': DataSource cannot select with this field; visibility can be changed in DataSource post-processing (field is currently visible, see '4')
  • 'P': DataSource can select with this field; selection and visibility can be changed in DataSource post-processing (field is currently visible and cannot be selected, see 'X', '3')
  • 'X': DataSource can select with this field; selection and visibility can be changed in DataSource post-processing (field is currently visible and can be selected, see 'P', '3')
  • '1': Pure selection field of the DataSource; selection, but not visibility, can be changed in DataSource post-processing (field cannot currently be selected, see '2')
  • '2': Pure selection field of the DataSource; selection, but not visibility, can be changed in DataSource post-processing (field cannot currently be selected, see '1').
  • '3': DataSource can select with this field; selection and visibility can be changed in DataSource post-processing (field is currently not visible and cannot be selected, see 'P', 'X')
  • '4': DataSource cannot select with this field; visibility can be changed in DataSource post-processing (field is currently not visible, see ' ')
