Integration of Infor/ Lawson M3 and SAP HANA

Hi Experts,
We are planning to develop a POC: Integration of Infor/ Lawson M3 with SAP HANA.
What we are wanting to achieve is to migrate Infor/ Lawson M3 database to SAP HANA and then connect this HANA database(which now has migrated Infor/ Lawson M3 data) with Infor/ Lawson M3 treating Infor/ Lawson M3 as a front-end.
The whole idea is to use SAP HANA as a database and Infor/ Lawson M3 as the front-end.
We are at a very initial stage and looking for feasibility of this idea.
Any suggestions in support of feasibility/non feasibility would be of great help.
Reply Awaited!
Best Regards,
Niyati

Hi Experts,
Any help on the above idea.

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:

Integration between third party software and SAP

Hi all,
I have requirement in which i have to integrate SAP with third party software. My third party software will be generating material no as we generate in SAP then after the generation of the Material No by the third party software again i have to pull the material no generated and corresponding information into SAP .Please tell me how to do this as i am new to these concepts and if possible please send links from where i can download study materials.
Thanks and Regards
Manu.

Hello Manvendra,
There are many approches for solving this integration issue:
But before solving this issue there are few questions which need to be known:
1. In what form the material no list is generated? i.e. some flat file, in database table, or shared memory
2. What is the language for 3rd party software? C, Java, .Net etc
3. What is the frequency of material number generation? i.e. is it on demand, batch processing etc
Considering 3rd party software is generating flat file or csv files for material number we can have this integration in
following way:
1. Save file at particular location.
2. You can configure logical path in FILE transaction
3. Write ABAP report to read that file using logical path and file name.
     Refer following link for Link: [logical path creation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8d/3e4ec2462a11d189000000e8323d3a/content.htm]
4. Read file into internal table using Link: [GUI_UPLOAD|http://saplab.blogspot.com/2007/10/sample-abap-program-to-upload-table.html].
5. Create BDC recording for MM01 transaction for material creation using Link: [SHDB|http://abaplovers.blogspot.com/2008/02/recording-bdc-using-transaction-shdb.html] transaction code.
6. Using data from internal table and BDC recording create all the materials in SAP systems.
    In this step you need to loop at internal table and fill data variables in BDC recording with the internal table data
    and call the transaction MM01 for creating material.
Above steps are very high level guidelines and it is one way of integration but concept wise more or less integration will be in same way!
You can definetly fine tune it by exploring SAP help!
Enjoy SAP!
Thanks,
Augustin.

Integration between an external system and SAP OM

Hi everybody,
I need to integrate an external system with SAP OM, and I would like to know how to do it (idoc? BAPI? other?)
What we need is the following:
1. External system -
> extraction of data changes (Cost center, positions, jobs changes) to an excel file
2. Excel validated by HR administrator
3. Validation of this file -
> creates an Idoc (how do you create it?)
4. This Idoc feeds SAP OM
Regards, and thanks in advance for your answer.
Angie

Hi Pradeep,
Thanks for your answer!
I am fresh in this area of SAP, and I still have questions...
What are the BAPI and Objects to use in this case? (I can't find any for OM)
Thanks again for your enlightenment.

SAP HANA One and Predictive Analysis Desktop - Time Series Algorithms

I have been working on a Proof-of-Concept project linking the SAP Predictive Analysis Desktop application to the SAP HANA One environment.
I have modeled that data using SAP HANA Studio -- created Analytic views, Hierarchies, etc. -- following the HANA Academy videos. This has worked very well in order to perform the historical analysis and reporting through the Desktop Application.
However, I cannot get the Predictive Analysis algorithms -- specifically the Time Series algorithms -- to work appropriately using the Desktop tool. It always errors out and points to the IndexTrace for more information, but it is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. The HANA Academy only has videos on Time Series Algorithms using SQL statements which will not work for my user community since they will have to constantly tweak the data and algorithm configuration.
In my experience so far with Predictive Analysis desktop and the Predictive Algorithms, there is a drastic difference between working with Local .CSV / Excel files and connecting to a HANA instance. The configuration options for using the Time Series Algorithms are different depending upon the data source, which seems to be causing the issue. For instance, when working with a local file, the Triple Exponential Smoothing configuration allows for the specification of which Date field to use for the calculation. Once the data source is switched to HANA, it no longer allows for the Date field to be specified. Using the exact same data set, the Algorithm using the local file works but the HANA one fails.
From my research thus far, everyone seems to be using PA for local files or running the Predictive Algorithms directly in HANA using SQL. I can not find much of anything useful related to combing PA Desktop to HANA.
Does anyone have any experience utilizing the Time Series Algorithms in PA Desktop with a HANA instance? Is there any documentation of how to structure the data in HANA so that it can be properly utilized in PA desktop?
HANA Info:
HANA One Version: Rev 52.1
HANA Version: 1.00.66.382664
Predictive Analysis Desktop Info:
Version: 1.0.11
Build: 708
Thanks in advance --
Brian

Hi,
If you use CSV or XLS data source you will be using Native Algorithm or R
Algorithm in SAP Predictive Analysis.
When you connect HANA, SAP Predictive Analysis uses PAL Algorithm which runs
on HANA server.
Coming to your question regarding difference,
In SAP PA Native Algorithm, we could provide the Data variable, Algorithm
picks the seasonal information from the Data column. Both R and SAP HANA PAL
does not support Date Column. We need configure seasonal information in
Algorithm properties.
R Properties
1) Period : you need to mention the periodicity of the Data
Monthly : (12)
Quarter : (4)
Custom : you can use it for week or Daily or hourly.
2) Start Year: need to mention Start year.
Start year is not used by algorithm for calculating Time series, but it helps
PA to generate Visualization ( Time series chart) by simulating year and
periodicity information.
3) Starting Period:
if your data is Quarterly and you have data recordings from Q2, mention 2 in
start period.
Example.
If the data periodicity is Monthy and my data starts from Feb 1979, we need to provide following information,
Period: 12
Start year: 1979
start Period: 2
PAL Properties. : Same as properties defined in R.
Thanks

_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

Where to download SAP HANA Studio and Client files

Hello all,
I am trying to learn SAP HANA and started watching the tutorial videos from SAP HANA Academy. Would it be possible for me to download the SAP HANA Studio and Client files so I can practice development on my PC? The video, HANA Academy - Installing the SAP HANA Studio and SAP HANA Client tools - YouTube, points to an old SAP Service Marketplace interface and I am unable to follow the instructions on where to get these files.
Thanks in advance.

BI 4.0 user connection to SAP HANA

Hi there,
Looking for some input here. We are approaching the integration of BI 4.0 to SAP HANA using Active Directory
authentication. Does anyone know if each buisness user has to be created in HANA as well as BI (which the security guide seems to suggest) or can a single communication user be used ? Thanks ! ! ! WEB intelligence will be used as the users
front end.

You can use a generic system user (e.g. BOBJUSER) but all actual BOBJ users will "inherit" the roles/privileges of this BOBJUSER created in the HANA database. You can do this when you create the JDBC connection between BOBJ and HANA.
It is analogous to BW/HANA where there's one user connecting the BW application to HANA DB but application level security is handles in BW and not in HANA.
So you would need to structure your user-specific security in BOBJ. Obviously HANA Analytic privileges can't be used either with one HANA id.

Open HUB ( SAP BW ) to SAP HANA through DB Connection data loading , Delete data from table option is not working Please help any one from this forum

Issue:
I have SAP BW system and SAP HANA System
SAP BW to SAP HANA connecting through a DB Connection (named HANA)
Whenever I created any Open Hub as Destination like DB Table with the help of DB Connection, table will be created at HANA Schema level ( L_F50800_D )
Executed the Open Hub service without checking DELETING Data from table option
Data loaded with 16 Records from BW to HANA same
Second time again executed from BW to HANA now 32 records came ( it is going to append )
Executed the Open Hub service with checking DELETING Data from table option
Now am getting short Dump DBIF_RSQL_TABLE_KNOWN getting
If checking in SAP BW system tio SAP BW system it is working fine ..
will this option supports through DB Connection or not ?
Please follow the attachemnet along with this discussion and help me to resolve how ?

Hi Ramanjaneyulu ,
First of all thanks for the reply ,
Here the issue is At OH level ( Definition Level - DESTINATION TAB and FIELD DEFINITION )
in that there is check box i have selected already that is what my issue even though selected also
not performing the deletion from target level .
SAP BW - to SAP HANA via DBC connection
1. first time from BW suppose 16 records - Dtp Executed -loaded up to HANA - 16 same
2. second time again executed from BW - now hana side appaended means 16+16 = 32
3. so that i used to select the check box at OH level like Deleting data from table
4. Now excuted the DTP it throws an Short Dump - DBIF_RSQL_TABLE_KNOWN
Now please tell me how to resolve this ? will this option is applicable for HANA mean to say like , deleting data from table option ...
Thanks

Advantages of SSRS over SAP HANA

We are looking into options for developing reports.
The data sources are SAP HANA ad Oracle/SQL Server. The two reporting options we are looking at are SSRS and SAP HANA. I would like to know if SSRS is advantageous over SAP HANA. If yes, please specify the reasons.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
SQL Server Reporting Services provides a full range of ready-to-use tools and services to help you create, deploy, and manage reports for your organization, as well as programming features that enable you to extend and customize your reporting functionality.
One of the principal advantages of using Reporting Services is the ability to manage reports and related items such as folders, data source connections, and resources, from a central location. We can define security, set properties, and schedule operations.
We can also create shared schedules and shared data sources and make them available for general use.
For more information about SQL Server Reporting Services, please refer to the articles below:

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.

CPU Work load optimization in SAP HANA

Hi All,
In virtual SAP HANA , there is an option to assign/optimize the vCPU to corresponds to Physical CPU as mentioned in the document below,
.http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/SAP_HANA_on_vmware_vSphere_best_practices_guide.pdf
But,in Physical SAP HANA Systems, are the below mentioned features available,
Can we assign dedicated CPU cores manually to a particular user/users ?
Or, Is there a way to reserve certain CPU cores for particular Application/Schema Threads/Sessions?
Thanks for your help!!
-Gayathri
Message was edited by: Julie Blaufuss

Nope, there is no such cpu-core based allocation option available.
You can limit how many worker threads will be created, in case you need to balance the CPU usage on in a multi instance setup.
However, you don't have any control on the actual amount of CPU resource that any SAP HANA instance, let alone DB user or query has.
Comparing this with what you can do in vSphere is not suitable, as we are looking at a different level of abstraction here.
To SAP HANA the machine that vSphere emulates will have x cores and SAP HANA will use these x cores - all of them.
It's important not to forget that you have an additional layer of indirection here and things like CPU core binding can easily have negative side effects.
For the SAP HANA users it would be more interesting to have a workload management within SAP HANA that would allow to manage different requirements on responsiveness and resource usage (it's not just CPU...). And that is what the SAP HANA development is working on.
Maybe we're lucky and see some features in this direction later this year.

What could be the reason for getting this error message? I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Nicky,
As per my knowledge, there is no separate licensing required for HANA studio. License for HANA d/b or Enterprise HANA license is sufficient.
Installation of HANA studio will not ask for any licenses.
