Using Variable in SAP HANA

Hi experts,
in the past I´ve been using Input Parameters a lot and I was very satisfied with stuff like Mapping them for filter push down and so on. Due the fact, that I´m using Cognos BI as a frontend, I switched to Variables, because the SQL synthax is easier to handle.
If I´m using the Variable on several fields and checking the Mandatory box, all works fine in the Data Preview of HANA Studio. The Calc View won´t show any data, if I do not fill out the prompt of the Variable.
If I´m using a SQL statement (SELECT *) within the editor on the corresponding Column View in SYS_BIC, the query is still running, although the VARIABLE is mandatory.
Is there anything that needs to be considered? Data Source of the Calc View is an Analytic View.
Best regards, Christoph.

Hi,
After you created that variable as mentioned above, did you apply this variable on your LAND1 attribute.
How: Open Analytic View --> on right-side you see the attributes,measures etc. >right click on 'LAND1' and select>
'Apply Filter'--> In the drop-down select your created variable and activate.
I assume the above should resolve your issue. Please let me know if it helps.
Revision: I mean the HANA version you are using.

How to use Variable in SAP HANA Information Modeller?

Hello Folks,
I have created a variable in Information modeller of SAP HANA Studio on top of an Analytical view (Regional Sales). This variable is SingleValue (Multiple Value Selections).

How can I create geographic charts with Lumira connected to SAP HANA?

Hello All
I'm testing SAP Lumira and I want to make geographic charts with data from SAP HANA. This is possible when I use data from a local Excel-file. But not when I use data from SAP HANA. I was told it should work after installing Service Pack 8. But it still doesn't work. Maybe we have to turn something on, change a configuration file. Maybe it has to do with SAP Lumira, not with SAP HANA. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here are some technical details:
SAP HANA Version: 1.00.81.00.392776 (NewDB100_REL).
SAP Lumira Version: 1.19.0 (build 1099) (latest version).
SAP HANA Studio Version: 1.00.81.0.
Windows Version: Windows 7 Enterprise, Service Pack 1.
Kind regards, Robbert

Hello Antoine
At paragraph 3.2.2 on page 73 it says:
Creating geography hierarchies with latitude and longitude data is not currently supported for SAP HANA data sources.
I think this explains everything. Well, almost everything. I created geographic charts with Lumira while connected with Excel or a csv-file. The question now is, am I waiting for an update of SAP Lumira or an update of SAP HANA? Or both?
Kind regards, Robbert

SAP PI: Using Variable Header Binding in Receiver Mail Adapter

Hello,
I try to use Variable Header Bindings in the Receiver Mail Adapter. Therefore I wrote the following User-Defined-Function in a mapping:
Java Function Start -
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail",
    "XHeaderName1");
DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail",
    "XHeaderName2");
DynamicConfigurationKey key3 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail",
    "XHeaderName3");
conf.put(key1, new String("Test1"));
conf.put(key2, new String("Test2"));
conf.put(key3, new String("Test3"));
Java Function End -
As expected I see the Attributes and Parameters in the Dynamic Configuration in the SAP XI Monitor:
Dynamic Configuration Informattion Start -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:DynamicConfiguration xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail" name="XHeaderName3">Test3</SAP:Record>
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail" name="XHeaderName2">Test2</SAP:Record>
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail" name="XHeaderName1">Test1</SAP:Record>
</SAP:DynamicConfiguration>
Dynamic Configuration Informattion End -
Now I configure my Receiver eMail Communication Channel and set the Variable Header Fields as follows:
   Adapter Specific Attributes: Checked
   Variable Transport Binding: Checked
   Variable Header (XHeaderName1): TSender
   Variable Header (XHeaderName2): TReceiver
   Variable Header (XHeaderName3): TOther
With this configuration I would have expected three new Header fields in the Header of the eMail, the reicever gets. But they are not there.
When I set standard attributes like THeaderTO, THeaderSubject a.s.o this works fine and the values are also set accordingly. Where it the mistake here?
The PI version we are working with is PI 7.0 SP10.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Steffen

Hi Luciana,
Honestly, I cant really remember how or if it was resolved and I was just helping out on the issue, but another consultant continued with it, so unfortunately I cant be any help on this.
Good luck!

Which programming is used in SAP HANA? confused b/w ABAp or java?

Can anyone just tell me As a programmer in which language i have to work on SAp HANA

Hi Jagaa,
that really depends on what you'd like to do. But a brief answer:
a) If you develop ABAP applications - use ABAP (as for other databases) and Open SQL / CDS, and if additional HANA functionality is needed maybe a bit of native SQL (ADBC or ABAP Managed DB Procedures).
b) If you develop natively on the database please contact the experts on SAP HANA Developer Center.
Cheers,
Jasmin

How ADBC connection is benefits by using SAP HANA as secondary database ?

Hi,
I have one more important question.
How ADBC connection is benefits by using SAP HANA as secondary database in terms of performance wise for the access of data from HANA database as a secondary database.
I have 2 options and which is better for the good performance for accessing the data-
1 . In ABAP Reports in the SELECT statements by using CONNECTION (“HDB”) will this improve the
     performance.
      e.g : select * from BSEG into TABLE IT_TAB CONNECTION (“HDB”).
2. Will Create the Stored procedure in HANA studio and Call
   from ABAP as below by using NATIVE SQL–
     EXEC SQL
      SET CONNECTION (‘HDB’).
     ENDEXEC.
    EXEC SQL.
      EXECUTE PROCEDURE proc (IN    p_in1
                             OUT   p_out1   OUT   p_out2 )
   ENDEXEC.

Pravin

Hi Pravin,
Option 1: In this case ADBC might even worsen the performance due to the overhead in the ADBC framework. OpenSQL is the method to go here, as OpenSQL - from the ABAP point of view - features the optimal communication with the database while ADBC has overhead like constructor-calls for the statement, parameter binding, etc.
Option 2: In this case ADBC is comparable with EXEC SQL but features more options, e.g. clean concept of multiple connection (connection objects via CL_SQL_CONNECTION), exception handling, etc. So I strongly propose to favour ADBC over EXEC SQL, but not simply for performance reasons. You might have a look at the ABAP Language Help in your system on more information on ADBC and the advantages over Exec SQL.

Jasmin

Benefits/ Limitations when we use SAP HANA Extended and Standard products.

Hello,
please check Master Guide (page 9 - chapter 1.6 Software Components)
https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000604552011
There you can find edition comparison and detailed description.
To extract the short summary:
Platform edition = SAP HANA Database + Studio + Client + Host Agent + Information Composer
Enterprise edition = (Platform edition) + LT Replication Add-on (SLT) + LT Replication Server (SLT) + SAP BO Data Services
Enterprise extended edition = (Enterprise edition) + Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise + Sybase Replication Server + Sybase Replication Server Agent + SAP HANA load controller
It depends on what licenses you already have and how do you intends to use HANA.
Platform edition = ETL via BO Data Services (you already have license for BO Data Services)
Enterprise edition = SLT and/or BO Data Services (including licenses)
Enterprise extended edition = all replication technologies

How to connect to SAP HANA Trial Instance using ODBC

Hi,
I am a newbie to SAP HANA. I have a trial account and have created a new SAP HANA instance using it. I have also installed the HANA Client Tool(Dev edition). I wanted to create a ASP.NET application to consume HANA database on trial instance. Creating ODBC connection requries server:port that are not available in case of trial instance. Can this be done ?
Instead can I create a Java application that consumes HANA database on trial instance using JDBC ?
Need an answer ASAP. Thanking you in advance.

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.

Rushi.

SAP HANA rev 82 update using hdblcmgui or LCM in studio?

Hi All,
I am updating sap hana to revision 82 from revisoin 81. SAP has suggested to use hdblcmgui for update and LCM in studio is depricated from SPS8.
Using hdblcmgui I dont see an option to upgrade.
SAP displays a note on LCM, suggesting hdblcm, but the update is option is not disabled.
Can I continue to update using LCM or how to upgrade using hdblcmgui?
Please suggest

Hi Stanimir,
Yes the IP associated in AWS console was still the same.Now I've terminated the instance since it was halting our development activity.We are using the trail version of HANA rev 72, at any point of time we can't bring in more than one instance through CAL so we have terminated the corrupted instance and recreated a new instance to proceed further.
But this is really strange behaviour and curious to know, if some else has faced this problem. Unfortunately i couldn't hold the corrupted instance to debug further.
Thanks.
Siva.

Error while creating a BO Universe (using IDT) on top of SAP HANA Calculation View with Input Parameters

Hi All..
We are trying to create a Universe (using IDT-Version4.0) on top of the HANA Calculation view. The Calculation view has 4 input parameters, So
in Universe side we have created the respective prompts. For the creation of derived table we have used the following code
SELECT *
FROM "_SYS_BIC"."<schema_name>.<CV_Calculation_View_test>"
'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_A$$','@Prompt(A)'),
'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_B$$','@Prompt(B)'),
'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_C$$','@Prompt(C)'),
'PLACEHOLDER'=('$$IP_D$$','@Prompt(D)')
While validating the above code we are getting an error.
I have attached the snapshot of that error for your reference. Please find the attachment and help me in resolving it.
Thanks in advance.

Hello George,
I don't have any personalization set on the info space. Also I am using mapped Account in BI to connect to HANA. The confusing part is that it is able to validate the infospace with the input parameters and index it. However query does not return any results. I even tried running the same query which explorer sends to HANA in the SQL editor and there too the same results,the query does not return anything. The model does return data when I do a data preview and if accessed from other tools like AAO.
Also when I use SSO connection to HANA, indexing of the infospace fails. Where can I see the error log?
Thanks,

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.
