Inquiry about SAP HANA

Hello,
I started my SAP Career 10 Years back. I worked as SAP functional consultant for 5 Years.
Now I am managing SAP Projects for the last 5 Years.
I want to move to SAP HANA can anybody tell me if it is possible for a functional consultant like me to move to SAP HANA.
I do not know BI/BW Basis or ABAP.
Regards
Sandip

Hi,
What happens when we replace SAP Hana with another profession like... hairdresser or florist or lifeguard, or whatever.
Do you think that is possible?
The only problem you would have when switching a profession is the difficulty to persuade others that you're fit for the job, if in the 10 years prior you also never really worked in the same area it becomes even more difficult.
It's not impossible, switching careers is almost always possible.
Good luck!

3 important questions about SAP HANA

Hello Community!
I have got 3 important questions about SAP HANA.
1.
- Our Company has all up about 150 SAP - Systems.
- 12 Systems are ERP-Systems.
=> We consider about SAP HANA at the moment.
=> Is it possible to put all the 12 ERP-Systems in ONE SAP HANA or do I need one seperate HANA for each ERP-System?
=> If it is possible, can you tell me the disadvantages when I use 1 HANA for the 12 ERP-Systems.
=> Is there a Storage-Limit in the HANA (I think no, because of 64 bit).
=> Can I still make realtime-analytics with 1 HANA for 12 SAP Systems?
2.
=> Can I run ONE HANA with different non-SAP-Systems?
3.
=> Is there a Demo-Center from SAP or IBM, where I can test and see the HANA before I buy it?
(I do not mean the Fujitsu TDS Demo Center)
It would be nice, when you would answer all my questions.
Thank you.

=> We consider about SAP HANA at the moment.
=> Is it possible to put all the 12 ERP-Systems in ONE SAP HANA or do I need one seperate HANA for each ERP-System? Yes it is quite possible to put all the ERP/CRM/SCM or other components on one HANA. You need to check for pricing/users/RAM (storage)
=> If it is possible, can you tell me the disadvantages when I use 1 HANA for the 12 ERP-Systems.
There are no disadvantages as of now.. improve existing planning, forecasting, pricing
optimization and other processes
=> Is there a Storage-Limit in the HANA (I think no, because of 64 bit).
There is no limit on Stotrage: You need check how much Data you need on RAM (Real time processing) Storage.Minimum you can buy is 64 GB and multiple of it for (RAM)
=> Can I still make realtime-analytics with 1 HANA for 12 SAP Systems?
Yes certainly..
2.
=> Can I run ONE HANA with different non-SAP-Systems?
YEs you can run HANA for 3rd party S/W or non-sap systems for your real time anlytics.
It has ODBC and JDBC both and you can combine it with other systems.
3.
=> Is there a Demo-Center from SAP or IBM, where I can test and see the HANA before I buy it?
(I do not mean the Fujitsu TDS Demo Center)
This you need to check with your local SAP Service channel..
It would be nice, when you would answer all my questions.
Thank you.

Inquiry about SAP Certification for C_TSCM62_60

Hi... SAP Professionals,
I want to know about C_TSCM62_60 SAP Course for Certification. Can anybody give idea about this course and study materials for the same. Also I want to know about Paper style of this Exam.
Thanks.

Hi Shabie,
1. There is one which says that there is a partial marking system. This means that if for example a question has 4 choices in which two are correct. I can get 3 out of 4 points by marking one of the correct answers. One point will be deducted for not marking the second correct answer
This was available before 2009. As of now, this marking scheme is not available for new exam takers. if you are appearing for recertification of old version, this would be applicable.
2. There is a second one which says that all the correct choices have to be marked to score points for that question. So its all or nothing in any given MCQ. So if I mark one correct answer in a MCQ with 4 choices and 2 correct answers, I will score zero for that MCQ.
This marking scheme is applicable now with passing percentage of 63%.
Hope your question is answered.

Query about ABAP future in SAP HANA

Hello Experts,
I have read many articles and SDN post about SAP HANA but does not get clear answer.
I am having 7 years of experience of SAP ABAP and wanted to learn ABAP in SAP HANA.
I learn that SAP HANA is having its own language also as SQL script in earlier release but would this be using also in current and future.
So would learning of SQL script give more advantage and how can i get started learning ABAP in SAP HANA.
Thanks
SHiv

Dear Shivshanker,
for ABAP for SAP HANA see http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29357.
In addition there are some nice blogs by Thomas Jung. You can use, for example,http://scn.sap.com/community/in-memory-business-data-management/blog/2012/04/11/test as entry.

Connectivity between SSRS and SAP HANA

Hi all
We currently use SSRS as our main Reporting tool, the company is considering to implement SAP HANA, is it possible to connect SQL Server Reporting Services to SAP HAHA? And what if any are the draw backs?
Thanks
Ruan

Hi ruancra,
According to your description, you want to connect SSRS to SAP HANA. Right?
In Reporting Services, it just works on helping us create, deploy, and manage reports. We can only connect to a data source to retrieve data. It is not supported connecting to another report tool. Also we are not sure if reports
created by SSRS (.rdl/.rdlc files)can be opened in SAP HANA. For more information about SAP HANA, please visit the SAP HANA official site:

SAP HANA Query

Hello, I have a query about SAP HANA. If I want to bring BSEG table in HANA from ECC but do not want to do Live update(SLT) and do not want to create all the fields that exist in BSEG in ECC one by one. what features of native HANA would I use to do that?
Thanks.

Hi Venkat,
You can go with BODS or SLT.
In BODS, you can select required fields from BSEG table in ECC and map the same to HANA table.
You can also go with SLT, do one time load using LOAD option. Even here you can select reruired fields, not all the fields from BSEG table.
Regards,
Chandu.

_Patch level in SAP HANA Note and _Build No in SAP HANA

Hello Hana Gurus!
I need to know where can I find the patch level in the SAP HANA and SAP HANA Notes
For example, if I want to apply a note
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1964428
there is specified:
Software Component
Support Package
Patch Level
SAP HANA DATABASE 1.00
SP069
2
SP070
0
Ok. I read a lot of sources and understand the following:
To know the HANA Studio version:
Help->About SAP HANA Studio.
It will be like
Version: 1.0.27
Build id: 201205021925 (361805)
Here 1.0.27 means -> 1.0 version and Revision is 27 and Build No is : 361805
Re: From Studio, how to know the HANA DB Version
That is, if we apply 1964428 note, the system is upgraded to SP069 and SP070. Is that correct?
But what Patch Level means in this (and some other) note (value 2 and 0)?
Where I can check Patch Level in the HANA?
And, what are figures Build No indicate
UPD:
Here Re: Where we can check Patch leveles in HANA? referred to a certain table "M_HOST_CONFIGURATION". But in my system it does not exist. or tell me where to find it?
Message was edited by: Tom Flanagan

Hi Kirisetti,
please findanswers in italics
1)
I understand the database version and the studio version is not the same thing. But why do they match my system (see picture)? Or still the same thing?
By the way, to see the version of the database I used table SYS.M_DATABASE
A revision is released with all HANA components are part of the revision release and not just HANA DB server. So it is always ideal that you have all HANA components on same version as in your case. However is is technically feasible that you are usinga older version of Studio to connect to a newer version of HANA DB server. so Help-> About Studio would give you version of the studio and "select version from SYS.M_DATABASE" gives you version of the HANA DB server.
2)
and for the version and patch level
1.0.69.02 would mean HANA DB is on Revision 69 , patch 02
1.0.70.00 would mean HANA DB is on Revision 70
Soultion for the problem is to update your HANA DB to revision 69, patch 2 or Revision 70.
Did I understand correctly, if the note indicated Patch Level = 0, then we simply speak about updating to Revision, implying that no Patch Level? Or how it can be understood?
I'm assuming here you wish to know if you are downloading the right software for the update.
if there is a patch mentioned it is available as "Mantainence Revision <rev no>.<patch no>" for download and if there is no patch level mentioned(patch level = 0) they is avaliable as "Revision <rev no.>". Also update procedure for both Revision and patch is the same.
3)
Did I understand correctly, the first figure in the Build number (Build id) indicates the Patch Level? How it is possible to interpret the Build number (Build id) more? These figures represent something?
This build number is something that comes out of build repositiory. HANA version mentioned in all notes and guide refer to just the Revision number and patch level currently. You can ignore the build number

SAP HANA modelling Standalone

Hello Experts,
We are in the process of HANA Standalone implementation and design studio as reporting tool. When I am modeling, I did not figure out answers to some of the below questions .Below are the questions. Experts, please help.
Best way of modeling: The SAP HANA LIVE is completely built on calculation view; there are no Attribute and Analytical views. I have got different answer why there is only Calculation view and there are no Alaytic view and Attribute views. We are in SP7 latest version. This is a brand new HANA in top of non-SAP (DB2 source). What is the best way to model this scenario, meaning, can we model everything in the Calculation view’s like SAP HANA live or do you suggest using the standard attribute, analytical and calculation views to do the data model. Is SAP moving away from AV & AT to only calculation Views to simply the modeling approach?
Reporting: We are using the design studio as front end tool. Just for example, if we assume that we are
Using the BW, we bring all the data in to BW from different sources, build the cubes and use the bex query. Here in bex query we will be using the restricted key figures, calculated key figures calculations etc. From the reporting wise, we have the same requirements, calculations, RKF, CKF,Sum, Avg etc. if we are Using the design studio on top of standalone HANA, where do I need to implement all these calculations? Is it in different views? (From reporting perspective, if it’s BW system, I would have done all the calculations in BEx.)
Universe: If we are doing all the calculations in SAP HANA like RKF. CKF and other calculations , what is the point in having additional layer of universe , because the reporting compnets cam access the queries directly on views .In one of our POC , we found that the using universe affect performance.
Real time reporting: Our overall objective is to give a real time or close to real time reporting requirements, how data services can help, meaning I can schedule the data loads every 3 or 5 min to pull the data from source. If I am using the Data services, how soon I can get the data in HANA, I know it depends on the no of records and the transformations in between the systems & network speed. Assuming that I will schele the job every 2 min and it will take another 5 min to process the Data services job , is it fair to say the my information will be available on the BOBJ tools with in 10 min from the creation of the records.
Are there any new ETL capabilities included in SP7, I see some additional features included in SP7. Is some of the concepts discussed are still valid, because in SP7 we have star join concept.
Thanks

>> I haven't read any "official" guidance to move away from typical modeling approach, so I'd say stick with the usual approach- AT, then AV, then CA views. I was told that the reason for different approach with HANA Live was to simplify development for mass production of solutions.

>> I'm not a BW guy, but from a HANA perspective - implement them where they make the most sense. In some cases, this is obvious - restricted columns are only available in Analytic Views. Hard to provide more complex advice here - it depends on your scenario(s). Review your training materials, review SCN posts and you should start to develop a better idea of where to model particular requirements. (Most of the time in typical BI scenarios, requirements map nicely to straightforward modeling approaches such as Attribute/Analytic/Calculations Views. However, some situations such as slowly-changing dimensions, certain kinds of calculations (i.e. calc before aggregation with BODS as source - where calculation should be done in ETL logic) etc can be more complex. If you have specific scenarios that you're unsure about, post them here on SCN.
Universe: If we are doing all the calculations in SAP HANA like RKF. CKF and other calculations , what is the point in having additional layer of universe , because the reporting compnets cam access the queries directly on views .In one of our POC , we found that the using universe affect performance.
>>> Depends on what you're doing. Universe generates SQL just like front-end tools, so bad performance implies bad modeling. Generally speaking - universes *can* create more autonomous reporting architecture. But if your scenario doesn't require it - then by all means, avoid the additional layer if there's no added value.
Real time reporting: Our overall objective is to give a real time or close to real time reporting requirements, how data services can help, meaning I can schedule the data loads every 3 or 5 min to pull the data from source. If I am using the Data services, how soon I can get the data in HANA, I know it depends on the no of records and the transformations in between the systems & network speed.

>>> Not exactly sure what your question here is. Your limits on BODS are the same as with any other target system - doesn't depend on HANA. The second the record(s) are committed to HANA, they are available. They may be in delta storage, but they're available. You just need to work out how often to schedule BODS - and if your jobs are taking 5 minutes to run, but you're scheduling executions every 2 minutes, you're going to run into problems...

A bug in SAP HANA cloud?

Hi all,
This is my first post in SCN, so forgive me if I posted in the wrong place.
Anyway, I am observing a strange behavior on my company's instance in SAP Hana cloud (hana.ondemand.com stated version: 0.51).
The strange behavior can be reproduced using the script below:
create column table "test_mod"(
"test_int" bigint
insert into "test_mod" values (5);
insert into "test_mod" values (7);
--should only returns 5, actually also returns 7
select * from "test_mod"
where (0 = mod(5, "test_int"));
--correctly returns 0 and 5
select mod(5, "test_int") from "test_mod";
--clean up
drop table "test_mod";
Apparently from functional view point this seems to be a bug to me.
So I would appreciate it if some one can confirm:
1. Is this a feature or a bug? If it is a feature how this come about?
2. Is there any way to work around this? I need to filter a table based on the modulo operation!
Many thanks!!!

Hi Le Thanh-Hai,
It is behaving correctly :
select * from "test_mod"
where (0 = mod(5, "test_int"));
Where ever you get the mod value = 0, it will filter out only those records. Hence you are getting output as 5
If you do like this:
select * from "test_mod"
where (mod(5, "test_int") >= 0);
It results in both 5 and 7.

Krishna Tangudu

SAP Hana implementation project - beginning tasks

Hello,
We want to implement a new SAP landscape running with SAP Hana database. As I understand, the SAP Hana database is a database that runs on a specific server appliance, am I right?
For we can know which SAP Hana server appliance to buy we need first to estimate the sizing about it! We want to implement SAP ERP product (EHP6 or 7) on Hana DB, but we don´t know how to start... this is, we don´t know how to measure this, in order to buy the best solution (server appliance) for our own scenario!
I checked some information in the following areas:
service.sap.com/sizing
and also the Quick Sizer tool (service.sap.com/quicksizer) but this is so much confused tool... I don´t understand it at all.
Can you help me with your experience which SAP Hana server appliance we need to buy for this kind of project?!
Thank you,
samid raif

Hi Dario,
Does the calculation view work without xsodata service? From the URL, your XS project name should be Project_DM, but from the xsodata source, the project name is EricssonItalgas. I'm confused with this. Did you use rewrite_rules or?
