Parameter

Description

Visible

(VISIBLE)

You use this parameter to determine whether the map layer is to be visible in the Web application.

Data Provider

We advise you to follow the conventions supported by Web Application Designer when specifying names: Names can be a maximum of 30 characters and consist of characters A-Z, 0-9 and _, but cannot start or end with _. Following these conventions makes it easier to upgrade to subsequent SAP releases.

Default value: 30
