4 Basic Random HANA Questions

First, I would like to apologise if my questions sound too basic, I'm still new and trying to understand HANA.
1) HANA database will be physically located in memory, or I guess we can say CPU.  When I think of database I always think server. Can it be called HANA server?
2) Can reporting be done in HANA? Does HANA provide a tool within it's application that can do reporting? Or is another reporting tool needed like BWA, BO, BI, etc? If so, which are compatible with HANA?
3) Architecture Question:
a) When data is submitted in R/3 (ex. sales order), the data is stored on R/3 server, then replicated in near real time via Sybase to HANA database? Is this how it works?
b) Why is Sybase a server, Is the data being replicated stored on Sybase server first before being transferred to HANA database? If so, there are 2 servers (R/3 & Sybase) and 1 Memory (HANA)?
4) Inside In-Memory Computing Studio, Modeling is where the tables are chosen to be replicated. If I chose table XYZ to be replicated in SAP HANA, will the replication automatically create a copy of the table in SAP HANA?
5) Is there a need to learn any ABAP/4 to be involved in HANA? Can I be an expert in HANA without knowing ABAP/4?
Thanks in advance, and again I apologies for my noobish questions.

Here are random answers:
1) Yes, there is HANA server (hardware machine(s)) and HANA database server (software). HANA server has RAM (lots of it), SSDs and traditional HDD storage. HANA db uses all of those, including CPU cache of course.
2) You can report using SBO BI or MS Excel (please see earlier thread on this forum). You can use HANA studio for preview of tables/views content, but it isnot reporting tool per se.
3) Data can be replicated using SAL LT Replicator (ABAP-based), SBO DataServices and in some cases using Sybase Replication Server. Please have a look at recently recorded webinar at http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/khnc
4) That's the idea. Details depend on the replication mechanism chosen.
5) No, but it does not hurt to know ABAP. You would need to learn HANA-specific language called "SQLScript" if you go deep into HANA-based development.

  • Random test questions quiz results not working

    I have a project with random test questions. It's published in HTML5...Each time I play the project in preview, the test results are accurate and correct at the end...However after I have published the project to my site, all the random test questions are NOT accurately scored in at the end of the quiz...It's tells me basically I got all the questions wrong, when in fact the on each questions my display is clearly stating it's correct.
    If I move the question out of the random test questions and back into the main project...it is scored correctly, but once it's back in the "pools" area, it is scored incorrectly in the final tally as a random test question...Don't have a clue why this is...it's really been time consuming trying to fix it...and my fortune so far fixing anything to do with Captivate is really low! Buggy! I'm using Captivate 8, so have no idea...
    Anyone have any idea what is going on?

    So obvious I don't know why I didn't think of that. LOL
    Many thanks that works.
    It would appear that the only way to adjust the pause is to add time to the
    slide as I am unable to slide the pause back.  But changing the slide of 3
    secs to 3.1 does work.
    Is there an easy way to do this for ALL slides or do I just have to  do it
    one by one.
    Again many thanks

  • Basic recording/feedback question

    I'm recording basic vocals against accompaniment tracks using an APOGEE ONE and Audio-Technica 40 series AT8449 condenser mic. I use only headphones, no external speakers.
    If I record with "monitoring" on I constantly battle feedback/distortion, especially on songs with a wide dynamic range. When the feedback protection kicks in the message indicates that I'm getting feedback through my external speakers (which I don't have), I can minimize the problem by turning "monitoring" off but I lose the reference vocal. I know I must be overlooking something very simple. Any help is appreciated.

  • Basic PDF/SSL Question

    Okay, I know this is a basic question, and I'm not sure if this is really where I should be posting it, but maybe someone out there has experience with this.
    I have a PDF form sitting on a secure server.  I have it set up to email the completed PDF back to our company when the user clicks the SUBMIT buttton.  Whether or not the PDF is secure coming back to us would be dependent on the email server the user uses - not that the form sits in a secure area on our server or that the PDF is security settings are set, correct?
    Any input appreciated.

  • Basic wifi service question

    basic wifi service question
    A Windows-using friend of mine subscribes to a service from Verizon that is sort of like a cell phone for a computer - wifi service that you can access from theoretically anywhere, for something like $60 a month -
    as far as I can determine, one CAN get this for Mac but ONLY if you have a 15 or 17 inch laptop with PC slots - unless I am missing something. It requires a special kyocera card.
    Another company, T-Mobile, offers a similar service, but with no MAC access at all.
    So my question is: is there a similar service, wi-fi access theoretically anywhere (or even just anywhere in New York City) ? Hopefully with just the regular mac airport card and not any additional special hardware?
    Thanks!
    Will

    Hello WillFriedwald2
    The kind of service your describing is probably a 3G and GPRS service.
    Phone companies now offer mobile high speed connections using EDGE technology or GPRS2 and supply a 3G or GPRS PCMCIA card.
    However some companies are now offering a package whereby you get high speed 3g and gprs and also wifi.
    So to use this service on a laptop that has no PC card slot you need to get a 3G or GPRS2 phone that supports blue tooth then you can connect your laptop to the phone over bluetooth and therefore access high speed internet.
    But if you had a desktop mac such as a G5 you would be better just getting a regular cable or dsl connection in your home and invest in a wireless router.

  • Basic JDBC transactional question

    Hello all,
    I have (what I believe) is a basic transactional JDBC question.
    Here's what I want to do:
    begin transaction
    select a row from a table where (some condition).
    that row may or may not exist.
    if the row exists: update the row
    else if the row does not exist, insert a new row
    end transaction
    I want this entire thing to be atomic .. I don't want the select to complete, then have something else come in there before the update/insert takes place.
    I'm using MySQL .. I seem to remember hearing about some proprietary MySQL command which would do a SELECT + UPDATE atomically .. which would be fine, but I can't find it.
    Wrapping this with a row-level lock would be fine too .. I'm just not sure how to do that in JDBC.
    Thanks!
    -d

    By thte way, and not that it helps the orignal poster, who's using MySQL, but Oracle has a proprietary MERGE statement that does "insert or update" in one go. For example:
    MERGE INTO bonuses D
       USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
       WHERE department_id = 80) S
       ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
       WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
         DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
       WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
         VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*0.1)
         WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);

  • Random Security questions?!?!

    Okay what the ****, go to purchase some apps on my new ipad and it tells me i have to verify my identity so it starts asking me all these random security   questions that I've never even gave answers to in the first place. Now i have one try left and I'm looked out. Really apple? 

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    If you log into your account via http://appleid.apple.com and select the Password And Security section are you able to set them ? If not then is there a reset link underneath the questions (the link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account) ?
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • Randomized Quiz Questions in CP7: Back button goes forward

    I've checked my on enter and on exit fields. Not sure why, but my randomized quiz questions' back buttons go forward. Very odd. Is there a setting I should check?
    It is worth noting that the back button is clearly not the forward button... checked in properties.
    Also, I need the student to be able to reanswer this question until they get it right, at which time the question stays answered.

    Yes sir. Thanks for the reply, Rod. I was hoping you were on =)
    I buy pretty much all of your stuff... went through the whole troubleshooting guide.

  • Setting project default file locations and a few random interface questions

    I apologize for the randomness of this post, but it seemed better than spamming a bunch of different posts in a short period of time.  I've been using Premiere Elements 9 for about 6 months now and there are a few little things that I'd like to tweak.
    I'd like to change the default file save location for a project.  I've got different projects in different folders and it seems like I should be able to set a default save location for each project.  All I've ever been able to find in the help is how to set the scratch folder, which is different.
    I'd like to change the default encoding preset for a project.  For example, I have a custom preset for mp4 under the mobile phone category.  It would be nice to have that be the default whenever I pick the mobile phone category.
    With birthdays and concerts and plays and all that stuff I have about 50 videos and a couple hundred large photos already.  Every time Premiere loads, it takes a few extra seconds to load up all of the thumbnails.  I hide all the videos and pictures on the Organize tab and save the project, but it never sticks.  Is this just impossible?
    Finally, every so often, the end-of-clip marker acts funny.  I don't know what the proper name for it is, but it is the thing under the mouse cursor in the picture below.  It used to automatically move on the time line as I added or deleted clips.  Somehow I clicked a button and it no longer does that.  After a week or so of not working, it goes back to automatically adjusting as I add and delete clips from the timeline and then it will break again.  Ideas?
    Also in the timeline, I now have this huge gap of nothingness on top of video 1, see picture.  My ocd says that Video1 and Audio 1 should be at the very top and the gap should be on the bottom.  Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I kind of wish you'd have spread these questions out over a couple of posts so that we could answer each thoroughly. If I answer all of them in depth in a single post, this answer would be the size of one of my books! (which, by the way, contain many of the answers to these questions.)
    1. The default save location for your videos should be the last place you've saved your video to. So that should happen automatically. Although in my books I recommend that, whenever you start a new project, you create a new folder for it. This is good housekeeping and a good way to keep your tmp and render files in the same place on your drive, which has a number of advantages.
    2. You can't create a custom project preset. The only presets available are the ones Adobe provides. And, although they are pretty extensive, some non-traditional formats (like video from some mobile phones) are not well supported. You may be able to get it to work -- but it's usually a hybrid solution and, personally, if you plan to use your phone's video as your main video source, I'd recommend you look at another video editing program. Premiere Elements doesn't do the hybrid stuff well. It's ideally suited for video from traditional camcorders.
    3. The thumbnails you see when the program loads are not in your current project. At least not until you import them into your Project panel. That Media panel is merely a preview to what's in your Organizer catalog. As I explain in my book, it's usually best to ignore this panel until you really learn your way around the basics of this program. It's very confusing. Fortunately, it adds very little load time to the program itself -- regardless of how much time it seems to add.
    4. The thing in the illustration is the Work Area Bar. It's used to isolate a segment of your timeline for rendering, etc. Usually, it will shrink and grow as you add and remove video from your timeline. Unfortunately, there's a bug in version 9 and, if you manually change it once during a project, you'll have to manually change it for the rest of the time you work on the project. But, if you drag each end of the Work Area Bar to cover your entire timeline of videos, your project shouldn't misbehave.
    5. The "gap of nothingness" on your timeline is just room for you to add more audio and video tracks if you'd like to. It's a good thing to have! BTW, as I'm sure you know (and my books, once again, explain) you can toggle the tracks on your timeline so that they display as either compressed (as in your illustration) or wide open, which allows you to see your clips and control audio and video levels. Once again, this is a very good thing!
    Happy moviemaking.

  • Basic  XML Publisher Question: How to access tags in the higher levels?

    Hi All,
    We have a basic question in XML Publisher.
    We have a xml hierarchy like below:
    <CD_CATALOG>
    <CATALOG>
    <CAT_NAME> CATALOG 1</CAT_NAME>
    <CD>
    <TITLE>TITLE1 </TITLE>
    <ARTIST>ARTIST1 </ARTIST>
    </CD>
    <CD>
    <TITLE> TITLE2</TITLE>
    <ARTIST>ARTIST2 </ARTIST>
    </CD>
    </CATALOG>
    <CATALOG>
    <CAT_NAME> CATALOG 2</CAT_NAME>
    <CD>
    <TITLE>TITLE3 </TITLE>
    <ARTIST>ARTIST3 </ARTIST>
    </CD>
    <CD>
    <TITLE> TITLE4</TITLE>
    <ARTIST>ARTIST4 </ARTIST>
    </CD>
    </CATALOG>
    </CD_CATALOG>
    We need to create a report like below:
    CATALOG_NAME     CD_TITLE     CD_ARTISTCATALOG 1     TITLE1     ARTIST1
    CATALOG 1     TITLE2     ARTIST2
    CATALOG 2     TITLE3     ARTIST3
    CATALOG 2     TITLE4     ARTIST4
    So we have to loop at the level of <CD> using for-each CD. But when we are inside this loop, we cannot access the value of CAT_NAME which is at a higher level.
    How can we solve this?
    Right now, we are using the work-around of set_variable and get_Variable. We are setting the value of CAT_NAME inside an outer loop, and using it inside the inner loop using get_variable.
    Is this the proper way to do this or are there better ways to do this? We are running into troubles when the data is inside tables.

    you can use
    <?../CAT_NAME?>copy past to your template
    <?for-each:CD?> <?../CAT_NAME?> <?TITLE?> <?ARTIST?> <?end for-each?>

  • Basic VT / Video Question

    I am upgrading my CM to v4.2 this month and looking to do a limited implemenation of some video. I have read the basics on VT Advantage solution and had some questions I can't seem to find the answers to:
    1. Besides the obvious desktop software and hardware (camera) installation, what additonal configuration changes do I need to make to CM/Unity/gateways to get video working in the environment?
    2. What kind of additional load is now placed on the network with video and what will this do to my current bandwidth configurations?

    Michael,
    First off you should check out the IP Video Telephony SRND if you are thinking about deploying video. Here is the link. (It's a 4.1 reference but should be 99% the same for 4.2).
    http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/netsol/ns268/c649/ccmigration_09186a00804ff6ba.pdf
    Somewhat brief answers to your questions.
    1. QoS for video on all network devices. The above guide discusses this but the Enterprise QoS SRND is the best reference. Switched only VT advantage isn't that hard. If you have WAN links then the LLQs should be configured independantly for video and voice(still only one llq though but this will ease admin and give the ability to police the video). Call Manager locations can be created to help enforce Call Admission Control of video calls. Provisioning the bandwidth is going to be one of the harder things to configure.
    ACLs will need to be adjusted for PC/Cam to Phone communication. The phone proxies the connection for the Camera and determines the camera via CDP (local on the phone switch) and then sets up a TCP connection traversing L2 vlans to L3 router and back. So if you have Phone acls they need to be adjusted. Again this is referenced in the above document.
    Regions for video types. You have a few options on video quality. This response will also answer 2. You can choose Cisco wideband, 7mps each direction for the highest quality and low amount of system overhead on the pc cpu. Of course this takes up a total 14mb for video. Should only be used on local lan. Then you have increments of h263. They range from 128 up to 1536. The higher the bandwidth the better the quality and more cpu on the local pc. You will need to use regions to set the desired video codecs and locations to enforce the bandwidth the codecs require.
    Lastly multipoint conferencing and other video endpoint integration. If you want conference with video you need to add MCUs. Currently (not sure on 4.2) CCM has a limitation on determining Video conference resources in an intelligent fashion. Essentially you need to have any video MCUs at the top of your MRGLs in CCM. This leaves the potential for Audio only conferences happening on very expensive video conference bridges. This calls for Device Pool and MRGL design changes for people who really only need multi-point video conferences.
    Read that SRND, great resource.
    Please rate any helpful posts
    Thanks
    Fred

  • Questions are not randomizing in question pool

    I have 30 questions in my question pool.  I have 10 random question slides but everytime I go to quiz, the same 10 questions come up.   I need help in troubleshooting this, please.

    Once you launch a module and it sets up the specific questions that will be selected from the pool for that session, those are the only 10 questions you are going to see, no matter how many times you hit the Retake Quiz button.  That is normal behaviour.
    However, if you close down the module entirely and relaunch again at a later time, in theory you should stand a chance of seeing at least some different quiz questions.  If you are consistently seeing EXACTLY THE SAME set of 10 quiz questions even after completely closing down and relaunching the session again, then that would be regarded as a randomization failure and you should report the bug to Adobe.

  • A few basic iPhoto 11 questions

    I just updated my iMac from Tiger (I know...) to Mavericks and it's great, but there's a few things in iPhoto that are way different from my old version- wondering if I can re-apply these.
    1) I used to be able to label photos by hovering over the photo and a dialogue box would appear, then once I titled it the title would stay under the photo. I can title photos now by going to info and titling it but when I'm in album view I can't see the titles whereas I used to.  I looked in preferences and everything but can't change it, is there a way to do this?
    2) This one is basic and stupid- in my old version just 1 click would enlarge the photo from album view vs highlighting it and needing to double click to enlarge.  Any way to revert this back to the old way? 
    I know these are really stupid questions but it's just conveniences I got used to that would be nice to have back.

    1. View Menu -> Select 'Titles'
    2. Tap the Space Bar.
