PBIDS - SAP BW Implementation 2.0

Hi,

 

The ability to use PBIDS files to pre-populate connection details for users seems like a really useful feature. However, we're running into some issues with using it for the SAP BW Connector (using this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-data-sources#sap-bw)

 

Is it possible to specify the implementation 2.0 SAP Connector in a PBIDS file? At the moment this defaults to the implementation 1.0, which doesn't work for us.

 

Also, can other connector options such as LanguageCode be specified in the connector?

 

I've tried adding an options field but without success:

{ 
  "version": "0.1", 
  "connections": [ 
    { 
      "details": { 
        "protocol": "sap-bw-olap", 
        "address": { 
          "server": "XXXXXX", 
          "systemNumber": "00", 
          "clientId": "XXXX" 
        },
		"options": {
			"LanguageCode": "EN",
			"Implementation": "2.0"
		}
      } 
    } 
  ] 
} 



Many thanks,

Andy
