We recently upgraded BODS from 4.2 SP1 to 4.2 SP4. Now we are facing issues in those DataFlows where are used Hierarchy Flattering functions, that Global Variables are wrongly translated from text to weird Asian characters. E.g. varchar variable: 'abc' is transformed to '扡c'. As data source/target is used HANA. The issue is caused whenever there is any table from HANA datastore 'directly' connected to HANA (attached picture). When used ODBC connection to HANA than it works fine, but then we are loosing Bulk load options.
Attached ATL (with .txt extenstion) has password: abc
Versions:
DS: 4.2 SP4
HANA: 1.0 SP09
HANA Client ODBC: 1.00.09 (tested also on 1.)
