Regarding career in SAP HANA

Hi,
I am in confused state from past 6 months.
I have been working in SAP ABAP from past 5 years and from last 6 months I have been learning SAP HANA modelling and implementation side by side. I have learned below topics in the same.
a.) SLT/LT replication.
b.) Information models.
c.) Procedures and SQL.
But now when I am going for any interview they are expecting below things also from me which I have no idea.
a.) SAP BW prior experience.
b.) Any reporting tool experience. like BO or lumira
c.) Any DB experince like ORACLE or SQL.
Can someone please guide which area should I go for?
I just havn't opted for ABAP on HANA because I cannot see much openings for the same.
Secondly if I start learning ABAP on HANA will my above knowledge I gained in last 6 months will go waste?
Please guide me with your valuable comments.
Thanks and Regards
Sumeet

The demise of ABAP has been predicted as imminent for at least fifteen years. Yet here we still are.
Not all SAP installations will exploit HANA modelling and development. If you want to go that way, learn to use ABAP, the HANA tools and python really well, and gain experience.
If you want to stay as an ABAPper I can't really see anything that will prevent that in the next ten years.

Regarding My Career on SAP

Hi Experts,
I Have Small Doubt About SAP Career.
Presently I am Working in JAVA J2EE Since 2 Years.
Now I Want To Shift My Career in to SAP side.
So Please Suggest me To Divert my JAVA Career in to SAP.
Which Module is Suitable for me to Start My Career in SAP Side.
I am Awaiting for Your Valuable Answers
Regards
Babu

HI Babu
Welcome to the SAP World.
Moving from Java Career to SAP, it is a tough decision.
In which side you are looking...
1. technical
2. functional
3. Administration.
I think for functional and administration, your java knowledge is not useful. You need some functional knowledge like sales, material management etc....
If you are looking at Technical means, we have
1 .If you are confident in Java then EP is the good choice.
2. Also there are some good openings on both EP and Dynpros.
3. If you are good in core java and XI is the choice. For XI, any progrmming knowledge with oops concepts is required. If you know well about Java, then it will be an added advantage..
Choose the Best you want
Cheers..

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!

Currency conversion error in SAP HANA

Hi,
I am new to SAP HANA and learning to create information views in HANA studio (SAP HANA SP6 on Cloudshare, HANA studio 1.0.68). I am trying to create a simple analytic view (on purchaseOrderItem table in SAP_HANA_EPM_DEMO sample database) to have GrossAmount converted to EUR.
I added a calculated column as follows:
When i click on "OK", i get error -
The check box “Calculate before aggregation” has been unchecked, because the definition of the calculated column contains measures with currency conversion, restricted measures or operands with input parameters. For such a calculated column the calculation is always done after the aggregation."
and checkbox "calculate before aggregation" get unchecked. See screenshot below:
Please suggest what could be reason? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
If you uncheck the "Calculate before aggregation" checkbox and activate the view, you will see in the generated log that a Calc scenario is created. (a view with /olap wrapper). Due to the calc scenario, the aggregation is defined as the default behavior for the KFs and hence the calculation cannot be done before aggregation.
By the way, I did not understand why do you need calculate before aggregation for a KF which is just a copy of another KF. If you need Gross amount in Local currency and EUR, then just perform the currency conversion without "Calculate before aggregation" checkbox. It will work.
Regards,
Ravi

SAP HANA XSODATA service (Service exception: column store error.)

Hi all,
i have a problem with my calculation view using xsodata service on it. (There's an input parameter called P
_SWERK)
In my calculation view, the data origin are two analytic views (on which the input parameter P_SWERK should be filter data at beginning of the sql script code).
First i read the analytic views with function CE_OLAP_VIEW and after i do a CE_PROJECTION function on them using the input parameter P_SWERK like a filter on field SWERK.
But when i run my application on browser the following error occurs :
<message xml:lang="en-US">Service exception: column store error.</message>
The link is this :
http://host:port/Project_DM/services/Test/TEST_ZIIG_PDM_CALC_VIEW_FINAL_service.xsodata/PianiDiManutenzioneParameters(P_SWERK='CO05')/Results
The service definition is :
service {
"EricssonItalgas/TEST_ZIIG_PDM_VIEW_FINAL.calculationview" as "PianiDiManutenzione" keys generate local "ID"
parameters via entity;
The SAP HANA AWS revision is 60.
Someone could you help me,please?
Thanks in advance.
Dario.

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?
Best regards,
Wenjun

Hi Sushma,
You can download the user guide here:
http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CFcQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhelp.sap.com%2Fbusinessobject%2Fproduct_guides%2FSBOpa10%2Fen%2Fpa_user_en.pdf&ei=NMgHUOOtIcSziQfqupyeBA&usg=AFQjCNG10eovyZvNOJneT-l6J7fk0KMQ1Q&sig2=l56CSxtyr_heE1WlhfTdZQ
It has a list of the algorithms, which are pretty disappointing, I must say. No Random Forests? No ensembling methods? Given that it's using R algorithms, I must say this is a missed opportunity to beat products like SPSS and SAS at their own game. If SAP were to include this functionality, they would be the only BI vendor capable of having a serious predictive tool integrated with the rest of the platform.... but this looks pretty weak.
I can only hope a later release will remedy this - or maybe the SDK will allow me to create what I need.
As things stand, I could built a random forest using this tool, but I would have to use a lot of hardcoded SQL to make it happen. And if I wanted to go down that road, I could use the algorithms that come with the Microsoft/Oracle software.
Please let me be wrong........

How to change the unload priority of a table in SAP HANA?

Hi Experts,
How we can change the unload priority of a table in SAP HANA? I know by default the priority is 5. Is there any way so that we can check the unload priority of a particular table in HANA studio? Is there any SQL statement to get the same?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arindam

Hello Arindam,
Just for the future:
ALTER TABLE - SAP HANA SQL and System Views Reference - SAP Library
To check before hand:
select
table_name, unload_priority from SYS.TABLES
where table_name = '<Your Table>'
To Make the change:
alter table <Your Table>unload priority <Priority You Want>.
As you have asked in the BW on HANA section I assume you're on BW and you could also have checked this with tx SE14.
Hopefully the above gives you everything you need.
Kind Regards,
Amerjit
