Is it worth to use Expert Routines? In help.sap.com you can find information: "You can use the expert routine if there are not sufficient functions to perform a transformation. The expert routine should be used as an interim solution until the necessary functions are available in the standard routine. You can use this to program the transformation yourself without using the available rule types" When I read it for the first time I was scared of using it. Now I am using it every time when the transformation is complex or I need to improve loading performance.

Palo Alto to Boston in Six Minutes

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

If you want a report for No. of times a BEx report executed by a User? Then here is a way to do that.


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.

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.
