Hi all,
I have a data source on SAP BW.
I'm working with both test and production systems. I want to make development on test system and then change the datasource to production system. As i see we can do something with parameters on SQL datasource but i couldn't find anything for SAP BW datasource.
Is it possible and how ?

We are facing the same issue with SAP BW Direct Query, it says the solution has been accepted but i dont see the solution, as the link provided gives general instructions, not related to the case. @amitchandak could you please help me further?
