SAP BW Advanced Tab

Some properties refer directly to the configuration of the SAP BW Server and must be provided by an SAP BW Administrator. Other properties are specific to TDV and how it interacts with SAP BW.

Option

Description

Maximum connections in pool

SAP JCo parameter specifying the maximum number of simultaneous connections in an SAP BW connection pool.

Maximum idle connections in pool

SAP JCo parameter specifying the maximum number of simultaneous idle connections, by destination, to keep open in an SAP connection pool. Set to 0 to disable connection pooling, closing connections after each request.

Maximum rows

Maximum number of rows to return from an SAP BW query. Default: 250,000. This setting prevents the return of datasets that are too large. To return all rows from the query, set this property to zero. This maximum row count is cumulative for all nodes, so queries or data sources using the “leaf nodes only” mode might receive significantly fewer rows than the maximum rows setting.

This setting only works on rows being returned from DataStore Objects.

Show leaf nodes only check box

Determine how TDV handles hierarchical data from SAP BW. If unchecked, all nodes of the data hierarchy are returned. If checked, only members of dimensions which do not contain children are returned, and summary data is suppressed. Default: checked.

Include children of selected members check box

Display the children of the introspected components in the resource tree.

Allow large (>1M cells) datasets check box

Lets you introspect large datasets (those with more than 1M cells). Default: unchecked.

Display Descriptive Names

Display only descriptive names in the resource tree and in the Introspection dialog box. (Technical names still appear in the popup when the cursor hovers over the resource name, and on the resource’s Info tab.)

Use this radio button consistently for any given SAP BW data source; otherwise, results can be unpredictable.

Display Technical and Descriptive Names

Display both technical names and descriptive names in the resource tree and in the Introspection dialog box.

Display Technical and Descriptive Names, Use Technical Names In TDV Resource Namespace

Display technical names in the resource tree, and both the technical names and the descriptive names in the Introspection dialog box.
