Currently, when using SAP HANA Database connector, it is only possible to use 'technical names'.

Since SAP HANA Database connector uses the SAP ODBC driver, and ODBC connection uses technical name as the value of database field, it is by-design that only 'technical name' is suported when connecting to SAP Datasphere.

When using SAP BW connector, its possible to use the business name.

Currently, when using SAP HANA Database connector, it is only possible to use 'technical names'.There is no Korean support, so there are many difficulties in using it.Please add the function to view business name when importing data from SAP datasphere in the SAP HANA database connector.
