3757166 - Variable values not shown in the Data Analyzer information panel for BW live connection queries in the SAC Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

  • A data analyzer is created based on a BW live connection, and the BW query contains variables. 
  • In RSRT and AO, a variable value section is displayed, but in the SAC Data Analyzer panel, the variable value section is missing. 

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a Data Analyzer view based on a BW/4HANA live connection using a BW query that contains variables.
  2. Enter a value for a query variable.
  3. Open the Information panel in Data Analyzer and observe there is no section showing the variable value.
  4. Run the same BW query in RSRT, enter the same variable value, and observe that a variable value section is displayed there.

Cause

The issue is a feature enhancement. Variables can be shown in the filterline or variables dialog (depending on the variable setting). It was decided to only show the global filters section in the Information panel and other variables in the filterline and/or Variables dialog.
