Palo Alto to Boston in Six Minutes

via SAP.info by hmcilvaine on 1/24/12

There's no denying the success of SAP HANA. In 2011, the in-memory application generated sales of around €160 million for SAP. It has been officially available since June 2011 and created quite a stir in its first six months of existence.

With SAP HANA, SAP offers something completely revolutionary: The combination of hardware and software enables large numbers of data records – and even databases – to be loaded into and stored in the working memory, where they are available for evaluations. This means analyses can be performed even more rapidly. What used to take 15 hours can now be mastered by SAP HANA in four seconds. With SAP HANA, data can be evaluated 10,000 times faster. Vishal Sikka, member of the SAP Executive Board and responsible for the technology and innovation areas, compares it with a journey from Palo Alto to Boston that takes just six minutes.

Guides, videos, and downloads – SAP HANA Experience 

SAP HANA is classified as follows:

• SAP HANA platform
• SAP HANA appliance software
• The SAP HANA database
• SAP HANA studio

The "SAP HANA Experience" Web site is designed to provide more information about the in-memory appliance. It is divided into three areas: Learn, Try, and Implement. Each area is then subdivided into Overview, Content, People, and Subspaces and Projects.

In the Learn section, visitors will find blogs about SAP HANA and useful information about installation and configuration. Under People, users can connect up with each other – like on Facebook – and put their profile data online, such as their professional role and the name of their company.

On the Web site, you'll also find a whole host of information about the three SAP HANA products: SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse component powered by SAP HANA, SAP CO-PA Accelerator software, and SAP Smart Meter Analytics software.

No. of times a BEx report executed by a User

Our BW systems may have many reports. After sometime some reports lose their importance but it remains in system unnecessarily. To figure out those queries there is a work around. It’s better to create a Report for no. of times a BEx report executed by a user in a period of time. In this blog I am showing how to bring such information into BW reports.

Repeat Delta Elucidate From OLTP to BW System

In some business process data loading will be conducted on hourly bases through Timestamp Field, are often required as delta criteria for generic delta extraction. However, in many tables such the timestamp field is not available; instead the creation/change date and time are available. Generic delta needs to function on one field.

Dynamic Attachment using Simple Transformation

Dynamic Attachment using Simple Transformation

The main focus of this article is not about sending mails when a work item is created, currently the main focus of this article would be to creating an attachment dynamically. The attachment can be a .DOC, .XLS, .PDF, .XML.

The term dynamic here refers to the data and content that are populated during the workflow execution that can be either populated in the workflow container or work item container. This article specifically deals with creating a excel sheet and it can be extended to such an extent where you can even populate list values inside the generated excel sheet.

Ok…… let me say you how it can be done in simple 3 steps.

1. Create a Business Class by including IF_WORKFLOW interface in the class.
2. Create a Simple Transformation,to populate the values in the excel sheet call the transformation from a method created in the business class.
3. Create a Standard task and include the new business class and method name and define the proper binding and finally include this task in a workflow.

The BW - HANA Relationship

The BW - HANA Relationship

With the announcement of HANA*, some customers, analysts and others have raised the question on how HANA relates to BW with a few of them even adding their own, home made answer in the sense that they speculate that HANA would succeed BW. In this blog, I like to throw in some food for thought on this.

Currently, HANA's predominant value propositions are

• (i) extremely good performance for any type of workload

• (ii) a real-time replication mechanism between an operational system (like SAP ERP) and HANA

Learn your BW in hard way

Useful information about BW system is spread into several tables in the system as itself.

That’s usual case. Skilled BW guy knows where to look in order to lookup information that is needed. It is common to know basic tables with IOs (RSDIOBJ), reports (RSRREPDIR), cubes (RSDCUBE), DSOs (RSDODSO), process chains (RSPCCHAIN) etc.

More technical BW guy would also know where to find information about basic BW system settings (tables RSADMINA, RSADMINS, RSBASIDOC, etc.).
