Symptom

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud

Resolution

The "Points of Interest (POI) functionality is being deprecated.  There are a couple potential workarounds for customers that may meet needs.

  1. User creates a Geographical Dimension using Lat / Long or Area as it is now supported for Public Dimensions (for Acquired Data Models) otherwise should reference the documentation for SAP HANA / SAP BW respectively
  2. For the Shape POI that was supported, there is a workaround for SAP HANA and SAP BW where customers can create their own Custom Shape Hierarchy. Please see this link for this information.
