In-Memory usage scenario: Accelerating existing processes

Accelerators

In-Memory Appliance is used as second database to accelerate existing applications

In-Memory Appliance serves as secondary database for SAP products like ERP or CRM
SAP UI

Data is replicated / written into In-Memory in real time for secondary storage
User interface remains unchanged to ensure non disruptive acceleration
Data Modeling

Application is accelerated by reading the mass data from the In-Memory database

How to create models in HANA

14

Terminology
SAP HANA studio: Information Modeler Data
Attributes descriptive data (known as Characteristics SAP BW terminology) Calculated Attributes Measures data that can be quantified and calculated (known as key figures in SAP BW) Calculated Measures & Restricted Measures

Views
Attribute Views i.e. dimensions Analytic Views i.e. cubes Calculation Views similar to virtual provider with services concept in BW

Procedures
Functions re-usable functionality

Analytic Privilege security object

Row-level security

Modeling for HANA 1.0

Using In-Memory Computing Studio Step1: (Attribute View) Seperate Master Data Modeling from Fact data
Build the needed master data objects as Attribute Views

Join text tables to master data tables If required: join master data tables to each other (e.g. join Plant to Material)

Step 2: (Analytical View)

Create Cube-like view by joining attributes view to Fact data

Build a Data Foundation based on transactional table

Selection of Measures (key figures) ... Add attributes (docking points for joining attribute views) Looks a bit like a star schema
19

Join attribute views to data foundation

Modeling for HANA 1.0

Using In-Memory Computing Studio Step 3: Calculation View for more complex models
Composite

view of other views (tables, re-use join, olap views) Consists of a Graphical & Script based editor

SQL Script is a HANA-specific functional script language

Think of a SELECT FROM HANA as a data flow JOIN or UNION two or more data flows Invoke other (built in CE or generic SQL) functions

20

Modeling for HANA 1.0

Using In-Memory Computing Studio Step 4: Analytic Privileges
Analysis

authorizations for row-level security

Can be based on attributes in analytic views i.e., Specific authorization for specified values of given attribute you have to create privileges for each group of users

Analytic privilege is always a concrete implementation

HANA Modeler SDK

HANA Modeler SDK - Overview

Enables application developers to create their analytical models programmatically
Developed using JAVA and can be consumed only by JAVA based applications. A programming language agnostic SDK is currently out of scope

Has no eclipse platform dependency; so it can be used by plugin development as well as plain JAVA based applications

Currently it uses org.eclipse.osgi in order to handle language dependent messages

SDK is EMF dependent; This requires SDK to be bundled with EMF plug-in JARs

SDK uses EMF in standalone way

Creating models using HANA SDK

Get Object type specific EMF model and fill it Create the object from XML conforming to our XSD

SAP HANA Information Composer

SAP HANA Information Composer is a modeling environment which allows non-technical users to upload local data to the SAP HANA database, combine with other enterprise data, and create views for analysis Key Capabilities
Data Acquisition Cleanse, preview, and upload local data Dynamically and easily create and populate physical tables in the SAP HANA database Data Modeling Select and combine most objects in the SAP HANA database Add calculated fields that can go across your local and enterprise data Create Information Views that are stored in the SAP HANA repository along side your enterprise views ready for consumption by analysis tools
