Path Prefix and Suffix

For connection type SAP HANA Smart Data Access, there are remote sources that provide a hierarchical folder structure instead of a valid database/schema combination in their metadata.

The path is the link for the folder names from the root node to the source object in the structure. The path excludes the remote source (root node) and the source object. It can be divided into a path prefix and a path suffix. The path prefix is the part of the path that is defined in the source system. The path suffix is the remaining part of the path, excluding the source object, which is defined in the DataSource. Both the path prefix and the path suffix can be empty.

The path prefix is a local system setting. It is therefore possible to define a path prefix for the development system that differs from that of the quality system or production system. In addition, the overview of the objects that can be selected is improved by restricting it to a part of the folder structure.
