Real Time Analytics with SAP Hana

By: Vinay Singh

Overview of this book

SAP HANA is an in-memory database created by SAP. SAP HANA breaks traditional database barriers to simplify IT landscapes, eliminating data preparation, pre-aggregation, and tuning. SAP HANA and in-memory computing allow you to instantly access huge volumes of structured and unstructured data, including text data, from different sources. Starting with data modeling, this fast-paced guide shows you how to add a system to SAP HANA Studio, create a schema, packages, and delivery unit. Moving on, you’ll get an understanding of real-time replication via SLT and learn how to use SAP HANA Studio to perform this. We’ll also have a quick look at SAP Business Object DATA service and SAP Direct Extractor for Data Load. After that, you will learn to create HANA artifacts—Analytical Privileges and Calculation View. At the end of the book, we will explore the SMART DATA access option and AFL library, and finally deliver pre-packaged functionality that can be used to build information models faster and easier.

Summary


In this chapter, we learned about how we can create a decision table and automate the business rule, in detail. We also had a look at the various benefits of using it. Transport management being an important aspect of HANA content management across a landscape, we worked on the various concepts related to HALM and export/import in this chapter. In the last section of the chapter, we built on currency conversion logic and used it in our view. This brings us to the end of creating artifact and other modelling content in SAP HANA.

In the next chapter, we will be reporting with SAP HANA data models. We will use our own data models created in the previous chapters for reporting. Also, we will take a general overview of all the tools available in SAP HANA. For a practical exercise, our focus will be on only two tools - design studio and analysis for office.
