Analysis for Office Variable Operator Contains Pattern

Since Analysis for Office 2.0 the administrative settings are moved from the registry to the file system. These settings are now maintained in a XML file. As in my article “Analysis for Office 2.2 SP2” mentioned the Ao_app.config is repeatedly expanded and sometimes there are new commands available.

 

In this context the admin guide is always very useful. On this Topic there is also a SAP Note 1920589. To use “Contains Pattern” as it is described in the Analysis for Office Help under “Syntax for Entering Values”, it must be activated in the Ao_user_roaming.config file.

The file is located in the user folder AppData\Roaming\SAP\Cof\ (%AppData%\SAP\Cof\).

In this file you have to add the parameter <OperatorContainsPattern value="True" />.

If you now use a variable, which supports pattern, your variables prompt should look like this.

Note: Until Analysis for Office 2.3 ContainsPattern only works if your variable is in Characteristic Restrictions. If your variable is in Default Values, you don't see the ContainsPattern option.

 

The problem is described in the SCN.
