3598888 - TimeRange API doesn't work

Symptom

You use the TimeRange as below but it doesn't work.

TimeRange.create(
TimeRangeGranularity.Day,
start_date,
end_date )

Environment

SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD,1.0.

Reproducing the Issue

You have a "user-managed" date dimensions and the TimeRange API is used for it.

Cause

Currently, using TimeRange-related APIs in "User-managed" date dimensions is not supported.

"User-managed" date dimensions could be some customized date ranges, so if we allow real date ranges for "User-managed" date dimensions, these two kinds of date contexts may not match.

Resolution

You cam use a single value in "User-managed" date dimensions, for example,

Chart_1.getDataSource().setDimensionFilter("user_managed_date","[user_managed_date].[YQM].[(all)].[2021].[Spring]");

or use TimeRange-related APIs in "System-managed" date dimensions.
