SAP Business Warehouse-applicationserver: Option DirectQuery is grayed out

Hello, I tried to create a connection to Sap BW and want to use the option DirectQuery but it is grayed out.

Does anyone know what I can do to make the option selectable?

Thanks for your reply!

@EvertVD,

 

Have you enabled this checkbox in Options --> DirectQuery?

Hallo DataInsights,

a collegue of my is also using this connector. He has the option "Treat SAP HANA..." switched off but Direct Query is selectable for him. I understood that the option "Treat SAP HANA..." is only for query folding?
