- Prerequisites require that your file include latitude / longitude coordinates or region data (area name).
- Note: When adding Area Name Geo Enrichment to models, you can now use country, region and subregion data to create location dimensions for country/regions besides the United States.
- The country/region data can be provided as ISO3 and ISO2 codes, or the country/region names in English.
OR
- Main Menu >> Create >> Model >> Get data from a data source >> Live Data connection.
- Prerequisites require that the live data connection model is based on a HANA calculation view enriched with latitude / longitude coordinates. See 2395407 - Spatial Delivery Units.
OR - See BW Live Connectivity Geo Map Support.
