HDI SPS12: hdbtablefunction in not present for my calculation view

Posted on Jul 27, 2016 at 03:12 PM 69 Views

hello

on HANA SPS12

i am trying to use a table function, formally know as hdbtablefunction, in an HDI calculation view.

i can create my table function ok, and it saves it as a hdbfunction.

then when i try to find it as a source, it is not there, probably because the extension is no longer hdbtablefunction.

so, what to do

thanks

update: i have put

/src/TABLE_FUNC_SCALE.hdbfunction


at the top of the file , and still did not work

    you can find that in your HANA Runtime tool--> Containers--> Table function in Function folder.

    without documentation, to create a manual hdbtablfunction, i had to hacking into the .hdiconfig file and add

    "hdbtablefunction": {

    "plugin_name": "com.sap.hana.di.function",

    "plugin_version": "12.1.0"

    },

    this enabled me to manually create a new file, with the extension .hdbtablefunction, which i thought was looking like it would work, but unfortunately, when i got around to the calculation view, it still would not see the function as a possible source

    i must be missing something!

    anyone ?

      Yes I've done this just fine. Its normal that the table function won't show up in the data source search if you've not done a build on the HDB module in order to generate the runtime objects in the container. But otherwise I've got several examples and exercises where I use table functions as sources in graphical calculation views and they work just fine.
