SAP HANA Input parameters in SAP BO Analysis

Hi, dear experts.
Please help me with one problem in SAP BO Analysis. Problem is: in sap hana studio i made calculation view that has some input parameters (Param. type - Direct, Sematic Type - Date, Data type - Date). Then i made filter with this parameters in one of projection of my calculation view. When i push data preview in Hana Studio all input parameters are ready to input and they also have "Value help dialog". All is great! SAP HANA Studio version is 1.0.7000 (Build id: 386119). HANA DB version is 1.00.70.00.386119.
On workstation i installed SAP BO Analysis edition for Microsoft Office 32-bit and driver for SAP HANA 70 Client Win32, made ODBC connection to HANA server. From SAP BO Analysis I found my view and started it. I see my input parameters, and see "value help dialog", but i can't choose value: it's not available for input. Here is the problem: what i have to do to enter the parameters?
I also try to use variable but value help dialog is empty. Please help me with this issue.

SAP HANA as a data source for Analysis Services

I tried to use SAP's .net provider for HANA as a data source for an Analysis Services cube but to no avail.   I can connect, create a named query and preview data from the data source view designer but when SSAS actually tries to run the query,
it wraps the named query in another query and produces a syntax error.
For example, if the named query is "select * from ENTHANA.MARA",
SSAS sends a query like this "SELECT [test].* FROM (select * from ENTHANA.MARA) AS [test]" (Test is the name of the named query).
I know SSAS wraps queries and that's fine - except that brackets are not a valid way to quote an identifier in HANA. HANA uses double quotes like Oracle.
Is there any setting in SSAS that can affect this behavior?   Will HANA ever be a fully supported data source for SSAS? If so, when?

Hi David,
According to your description, you are creating a SQL Server Analysis Services project, now what you want is using SAP HANA as the data source, right?
SSAS support many type of data source. However, as you can see on the link below, SAP HANA data source was not listed on that link. So this type of data source is not supported in current version of SSAS. Microsoft will update that document when it is supported.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hana Input Parameters/Variables in BOE

Gurus,
I am looking at Explorer 4.1 against our Hana Environment and the only time I can set my values for my Calc View IP/Var is when I Validate the objects when defining my InfoSpace, I cant create any filters in the infoSpace, Our security is handled with one of the Input Parameters If I cant get these to appear during exploration run time we cant use explorer.
Has anyone been able to get IP/Var from hana view to show up in explorer at run time? I saw in some documentation from 2012 that this was not possible but cant find anything newer saying if this was ever addressed.
Your Help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Alex

Hello Alex,
one year ago we tried to work with input parameters in Explorer with BI 4.0 SP4, but it didn't work.
We found a solution with the Personalisation feature in Explorer. With this, we are able to filter the data according to the username of each user. I don't know if it's what you mean by "security".
We are in 4.1 SP4 now, and we didn't found any other solution so far...

Can SAP HANA be used with SAP LVM to provision customised copies of SAP systems within 24 hours?

I have a requirement to automate the provisioning of new and 'copies of' SAP systems (development and QA environments) within 24 hours.
New systems created - based on a template (e.g. an existing SAP Portal, ECC or BW system)
New systems should have unique SID's
RFC's, IDOC's, printers, profiles, e-mail, etc. all needs to be customisable in each new SAP system
The systems need to be shut down overnight (to save on running costs)
Is this possible with a combination of SAP HANA and SAP LVM?

Hi
SAP HANA in LVM will be doable in the near LVM 2.0 latest SP which will come out probably around after october 14 but stay tune as the date might be pushed little due to development changes.
AFAIK from your questions some of the features will support and some already in LVM today.
New systems created - based on a template (e.g. an existing SAP Portal, ECC or BW system) - BSuite on HANA will be supported.
New systems should have unique SID's - LVM use cases such as COPY, CLONE, RENAME will be supported.
RFC's, IDOC's, printers, profiles, e-mail, etc. all needs to be customisable in each new SAP system. Not sure but Post Copy Automation should allow to do this..
The systems need to be shut down overnight (to save on running costs). All VM operations such as power off, power on will be normal as long as you configure VCENTER in LVM.

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.

Alternative ways to check SAP HANA health?

Hi,
Are there other ways to check the health of SAP HANA database beside using HANA Studio? This is because our clients are not very convinced that the database health is fine by just looking at the GUI of HANA Studio. For example, in Oracle, we can run certain dynamic views and dbv to check on the database and physical data files. Is there any such similar feature inside SAP HANA?
Thank you.
Regards,
Gan

The documentation contains e.g. the Technical Operations Manual in which different monitoring options are explained (e.g. alerts and the statistics server system views).
Beyond that, SAP Solution Manager provides integration for SAP HANA covering monitoring, health checks and analysis.
Reading the documentation on help.sap.com would have provided these information to you and your clients.
There's plenty of more information available, but giving the lead you just received, I'm optimistic you'll find more yourself using your search engine of trust.

SAP HANA Current Revision and how to update

Hi All,
I would like to know how we can check the current HANA IMDB server revision version, are there are specific Linux commands to check the revision on the HANA IMDB server? Also I would like to take your inputs to learn how to update the revision for HANA server. Can this be done using the HANA unified installer?
Thanks for the help.
Thanks and Regards,
Archana

Hi Vitaliy,
Thanks for the inputs, thats very helpful. The HDB version command gives the HANA version and revision details. Currently we are on HANA 1.0 SP3 Revision 20 and looking forward to upgrade to Revision 21.
Thanks for the link on the upgrade guides, I had read through it previoulsy but have some questions.
The SAP Note u201C1653292 - SAP HANA appliance: Revision 21 of SAP HANA databaseu201D mentions:
u2022 For the installation and update procedure of the SAP HANA appliance software and its core components (incl. SAP HANA database), see the SAP HANA Automated Update Guide https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000604952011
I would like to know if the only way to update the HANA revision from 20 to 21, is to follow the steps in the HANA automated update guide and set up the components for automated update, then do a revision update? Is there a manual way to do it, but none of the HANA guides mentions how to manually download a specific revision package from SAP service maket place and update the revision version. Please let me know if I missed any guide that talks about this?
Thanks for the help.
Thanks and Regards,
Archana Kuppuswamy

Lumira Server on SAP HANA Cloud Platform?

Hi,
Can we run Lumira Server on SAP HANA Cloud Platform (not SAP HANA)?
Reason:
Unless there is a way to publish Lumira Story via Lumira Cloud to BI LaunchPad, otherwise I am only interested in the Lumira Desktop version at the moment. As we want to continue to pursue to have one central portal for all BI contents using BI LaunchPad.
Question:
In summary, is it possible to apply SAP Lumira Server on SAP HANA Cloud Platform?
See screenshots below for the ideal scenarios.

Hi Ken,
Great question.
Yes, absolutely you can.
As an example: I work with some customers who have small Hana estates "on-premise" (say, for Fraud on Hana, or BW HANA sidecar); as such they may not have the available infrastructure to decouple a sandbox Hana to evaluate new Hana Analytics innovations (like Lumira Server)
In such situations I recommend this page http://hcp.sap.com/platform.html to evaluate our Hana Cloud platform options.
If you scroll half-way down, you'll see a nice graphic under the heading "Choose the Service That's Best for You". (the 3 stacked pillars)
Depending on your own licensing particulars, you may already have a runtime license for Lumira Server (through your BI bundle), and you may already have HDB (database) licenses available in your enterprise, so potentially you need only the 'infrastructure service' (leftmost chart).
Then, I've seen this integrated into productive on-premise systems, typically (but optionally) via a "leased line" (between customer & provider (SAP)) , and a VPN tunnel in between to make the secure bridge.
It's a really neat way to get on the Hana journey: quick to deploy, flexible, and well priced.

What is SAP HANA DXC ???

Hi SAP HANA Experts,
Can anyone you tell me what is SAP HANA DXC ???
Is it a Add-On Or inbuilt software component available with SAP HANA DB Package Itself
Do we need to download the SAP HANA DXC individually ???
What is the path of the DXC Software component in SMP to view it

Hello guy,
The SAP HANA Direct Extractor Connection (DXC) is a means for providing out-of-the-box foundational data models to SAP HANA, which are based on SAP Business Suite entities. (No add-on need to be installed). DXC is also a data acquisition method for SAP HANA. With DXC, SAP Business Content DataSource Extractors are available to deliver data directly to SAP HANA

SAP HANA calculation field

Hello,
I have a query on the new calculated field in SAP HANA. What is the usage of this field, what are the pre-requisites and potential case when it is recommended to use such fields? Do we need to have a calculative view to use the calcluated field or can it be used directly in ABAP code?
Kindly let me know. We are in the process of code optimization for HANA.
Best Regards,
Mohit

Hey Mohit,
can you please give a bit more details, e.g. documentation about what you refer to as "the new calculated field in SAP HANA".
Concerning the details of usage within HANA, i.e. whether you need a calculation view etc. you might have a look at the SAP Help (Introduction - SAP HANA SQL and System Views Reference - SAP Library)) or maybe directly in the HANA SQL reference (http://help.sap.de/hana/SAP_HANA_SQL_Script_Reference_en.pdf).
From my answer I think you can directly guess, that there's no way in directly accessing the calculated field from ABAP - except of course if you access it using native SQL (ADBC or EXEC SQL).
For code optimization in SAP HANA (from an ABAP developers perspective), you might want to have a look at our Open SAP course (ABAP Development for SAP HANA - Dr. Jasmin Gruschke and Jens Weiler) or in the documentation given in our "Get Started" Section of ABAP for SAP HANA namely ABAP for SAP HANA Reference Scenario and ABAP for SAP HANA Reference Scenario - AS ABAP 7.4 Support Packages.
In case you need more HANA (less ABAP) related information for your question, you might additionally contact the HANA experts on SAP HANA Developer Center.
Cheers,
Jasmin

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:

Does SAP HANA supports JCo to call BAPI RFC's and to receive IDocs?

Hi,
We are using a WSO2 ESB to integrate our SAP 4.7 version system with SalesForce.com and as part of this integration we use JCo libraries to receive IDoc's and to execute RFC's from ESB.
This year we are planning to migrate our SAP environment to SAP HANA and wondering if SAP HANA supports the JCo libraries? or is there any changes in the implementation how we use JCo libraries?
Thanks in advance.
