SAP HANA experiences FICO

Hello,
is there a forum or a collection of threats dealing with experiences people faced when implementing SAP HANA?
I would like to fokus on SAP FI and CO.
I already know a link about use cases.
However, within this community issues might have been addressed more specifically.
Any hints are welcome.
With kind regards.
Thomas

Please read the release notes in this link SAP Simple Finance Add-On for SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA – SAP Help Portal Page to understand what's new in SAP FICO as compared to the earlier versions.
Regarding your questions above, here are my thoughts:
1. You need to install the add-on first (a software update) and then perform the database migration.
2. Once you install the financial add-on for Suite on HANA (SAP Simple Finance Add-On for SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA), BSIS should appear as a DDL SQL View in SE11.

FICO for SAP HANA

Hello,
I've reading a lot of documentation from SAP about the new SAP HANA. But i can't yet find the difference between SAP FICO in no-HANA Systems and Smart Finance and Simple Finance in SAP HANA sytem's.
As far as i understood, if i migrate my FICO from no-HANA to HANA system, i would have, obligatorily, the New GL functionality and the New Asset Accounting.
But i have two question, if anyone could assist it would be of great help:
1. By simply migrating data would i imediatly benefit of the new architectural design? (column oriented, in-memory, total tables and index tables transformed to views such as all BSI* and BSA*) or do I need to instal an add-on (Simple Finance or Smart Finance)??
2. I recently entered a SAP HANA machine from one of our clients, and BSIS, for example, was not a view as was expected. Was there something missing, some sort of activation?
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Nuno Anjos

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?

SAP BW ON SAP HANA..

Hi Experts,
I would like to ask a simple question. (Might be quite stupid one for the experts...) in order to determine the right direction for me to achieve the bright future..
While I knew nothing about SAP Technologies about couple months ago, I am about to finish SAP HANA Application Associate certification, as my academic background is B.Sc. (Maths), and Data Operator as a work experience along with (Business Management work experience), I am planning to go for SAP BW on SAP HANA or ABAP ON SAP HANA (As I love working with SQL as well as I believe it might be quite interesting to go for) course too, just to polish my SAP Knowledge as well as my chances in the competitive market nowadays.
Currently through SAP Trial offers I am playing with SAP BusinessObjects Products, SAP HANA obviously, SAP Predictive Analysis and SAP Lumira, by contributing full-time behind learning these modules.
Would it be right choice for me to do so? Any response would be appreciated..
Cheers,
Hemang.

Continue focusing on HANA as there are lot of projects which are demanding HANA skills only. There is no need to jump into BW as there are already many BW Consultants. There is no harm in having knowledge on BW or BO. But, I would recommend you to polish your skills on HANA only and try to get on the implementation project and complete at least one full implementation on the same. If you get an opportunity to learn CAR (Customer Activity Repository), it would be great as this skill is also in demand and quite difficult to find.
So, I would suggest you to stick to HANA and learn something inline to it like CAR. This way, you will be getting competitive advantage for your profile.

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

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.

Cant find 'SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP & SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP8 on SAP HANA 1.0 SP8 [Developer Edition]'

I have successfull installed and been running 'SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP & SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP5 on SAP HANA 1.0 SP7 [Developer Edition]'
In my CAL-account I have seen that 'SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP & SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP8 on SAP HANA 1.0 SP8 [Developer Edition]' has become available.
Searching 'AWS Marketplace' with 'SAP HANA one' only brings up the version (SP5-7) I already have installed. How am I supposed to proceed to install the latest version (SP8-8)?

It wasn't removed. I and at least one other person reported it as abusive, because it contains just a link. I think after three reports, it's automatically hidden until the moderator rejects it permanently, or releases it. In this case, it was released.
Now, why did I report it? Well, the common view (obviously not shared by the moderator here), is that posts like that
1) Indicate the original poster (in this case you) could have searched for yourself to find the same link
2) Damage the site as a whole, as you end up with just a whole bundle of links from one place to another and no real content
3) Encourage posting of FAQ
My experience is that quite often the link isn't in fact relevant, and is just the result of the first hit of a keyword search using google. In this case it was relevant - but couldn't you have searched and found it yourself?
In the areas I moderate, posts that constitute a single link are rejected as a matter of course. See this blog for a full and complete discussion: Posting links and the jungle you end up in..

SAP HANA for functional consultants

Hi
I have rich experience of 9+ yrs in SAP MM/WM/SD/SRM (certified in these modules) (and over all 16+ yrs) all through implementations and rollouts.
Now I am feeling stagnated in my career; wanted to make it more techno-functional; SAP HANA is a buzz word.
Wanted to move into it after doing certification; but have the following queries:
Will it be a right decision to move into it without any prior BI/BW experience.
Will I get an entry into new projects of SAP HANA.
Does BI/BW experience preferred over other SAP module/functional experience; in which case it will be a difficult enviro to compete.
I have explored job portals and every one wants prior BI/ABAP/Tech experience.
I am worried will I be loosing by entering into HANA or shall I go further in my logistics area only for explorations.
The market I am working in is US and Australia.
Please suggest;
Thank you.
Kim

It will really be helpful if I can get some insight from the perspective of
a functional consultant as nothing concrete has been said on the approach to be
followed.
The answer were helpful but I am looking for more suggestive help; in that
respect I wrote additionally so that I can reach out to more people for a
career changing decision.
If you still want to restrict the free flow of ideas then it’s against the
forum spirit.
I hope my concerns are justified.

Right path for sap hana

Is this a right track for a fresher to get into SAP HANA?
I am sap abap consultant and have interest to learn sap hana...
According to me,I wanted to first learn sap bi through a small or local institute and the n go for sap hana training from Sap bangalore center
Is this the right track for me?
SAP ABAP--->>SAP BI--->>>SAP HANA.
Can anyone guide me about how much experience will be sufficient to gain sap hana?

If you do not have knowledge on SAP BW, BO, BI then also you can learn (career) in HANA. SAP pointed HANA as the in Memory DB as same as the place where all applications going to run in future. If you’re a person known to Database Concepts and having basic Knowledge of SQL will help you to learn SAP HANA at ease.
Since you are an ABAP Consultant the knowledge of ABAP will help you in understanding the business logic implementation. Do not think that ABAP is going to get wind up, it is getting powered by HANA with Smarter, Lighter and Faster that is called ABAP for SAP HANA. Good Career you find while learning HANA with ABAP. Chances of earning $80000 - $160000
Learning HANA Modeling is easy when you have knowledge of BW if not, you will get to it on the class.
You will get to know Business Objects concepts at the time of HANA ideas on Reporting, if you are known to it then you will find your way on HANA Reporting.
SAP Business Intelligence the DW operational tool which helps you to understand implementation ideas from Business Warehouse on HANA viewpoint. If you are not going to work on BW on HANA it is not necessary to learn SAP BI.
So it is not necessary learning SAP BI Before going to SAP HANA but Choose the Platform on which you have planned since there are various types of HANA Certification. If you have still doubts look into these words http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-39531 for better concepts or talk to top trainers for direct interactions at http://techjobs.sulekha.com/sap-hana-training

SAP Hana & CRM Technical

Hi,
I am an SAP CRM Technical consultant. What would be the best suited role for me in SAP HANA or cloud?
Thanks & Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
As you already have programming experience, you can choose anything because all three are going dominate the world in another 5 years.
But give a preference to SAP HANA because it needs more SAP technical side but cloud combines other infrastructures and softwares also. To be on SAP side fully, just get into SAP HANA.

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.

SAP HANA Modeling Sample end to end Project

Dear All,
I got trained on SAP HANA Modeling and BODS recently, and in process of learning SAP BO. My core is SAP EP and don't have indepth knowledge on SAP BI and Functional aspects.
I am working on few sample applications but I would like to do a Sample end to end project on real time scenarios/POC's.
Do you have any sample requirement documents that helps to do a end to end project(real time scenarios) . Does SAP store any piolet project requirement specs for public use which help to gain real time experience.
Kindly help me on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajeev Bikkani

hi look into this
Role of a Functional Consultant in an End To End Implementation
1. Functional consultant is expected to generate knowledge about the current business process, design current business flows, study current business processes and its complication, in all we can say getting through with current business setup. Flow diagrams and DFD are prepared, most of the time in Vision format, all this forms the part of AS IS document.
2. Everything configured has to be documented as per their categories in the form of predefined templates, these have to be then approved by the team leads or who ever the consultant is reporting to.
3. Mapping and GAP analysis is done for each module, I have seen people defining integration after mapping, gap analysis and configuration is done, but as per my experience in implementation, it is a simultaneous process.
4. Before starting configuring future business processes in SAP, the DFD/ERD are prepared, this documentation is called TO BE, which can be also siad as the result of mapping and gap analysis.
5. Sometimes Functional consultants are also expected to prepare test scripts for testing the configured scenarios.
6. End user manual and user training is also expected from F.Consultants.
The project normally starts off with a Kick off meeting in which the team size, team members, reporting system, responsibilities, duties, methodology, dates and schedules, working hours which have been predicided are formally defined.
