 Overview

What is HANA : SAP HANA, short for

“High-Performance Analytic Appliance” is an in-memory,

column-oriented, relational database management system
developed by SAP.
 Data now resides in main-memory (RAM) and no
longer on a hard disk.
 It is a combination of hardware and software made to
process massive real time data using In-Memory
computing.
 It combines row-based, column-based database
technology.

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,

 Overview

 It’s best suited for performing real-time analytics on

massive data, and developing & deploying real-time
applications.

 Overview

What is in-memory database –

An in-memory database means all the data is stored in
the memory (RAM). No time wasted in loading the data
from hard-disk to RAM or storing the data in hard-disk.
Everything is stored inside memory for all the time,
which gives quick access ability to the CPUs while
processing data.

The speed advantages offered by this RAM storage system

are further accelerated by the use of multi-core CPUs, and
multiple CPUs per board, and multiple boards per server
appliance.

 Overview

Row Store Vs Column Store

Relational databases typically use row-based data
storage. However Column-based storage is more suitable
for many business applications. SAP HANA supports both
row-based and column-based storage, and is particularly
optimized for column-based storage.

Row Storage – It stores table records in a sequence of

rows.

Column Storage – It stores table records in a sequence of

columns i.e. the entries of a column is stored in contiguous
memory locations.

 Overview

Which type of tables should be preferred –

Row-based or Column-based?
Row-based is the best for OLTP transactions
Column-based is the best for OLAP transactions because
aggregations/searching ‘s are used more in OLAP.
In row based tables all data stored in a row has to be
read even though the requirement may be there to
access data from a few columns. Hence, these queries on
huge amounts of data would take lots of times.
Ex: BSEG has more than 300 columns which are read for
each record even you may need 10 0r 20 columns in a
report.

 Overview

All data is in RAM. What happens when power goes down?

SAP HANA is an in-memory database which means all the

data resides in RAM. But there is also a disc memory just
for backup purpose.

In-memory computing is safe: The SAP HANA database

holds the bulk of its data in memory for maximum
performance, but still uses persistent storage to provide a
fallback in case of failure.

After a power failure, the database can be restarted like

any disk-based database and returns to its last consistent
state by replaying the log since the last savepoint.

SAP HANA Landscape

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,

Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 15
 Overview

With the help of technology like SLT replication, data can

be moved to HANA in real time.
It is also possible to copy data from SAP BW or other
database into SAP HANA.
In HANA, we can use modeling tool called HANA Studio
to build the logic and structures and use tools e.g. SAP
BusinessObjects, SAP Visual Intelligence to visualize or
analyze data.

SAP HANA inside Architecture

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,

Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 17
 Overview

The SAP HANA database is developed in C++.

SAP HANA database consists of multiple servers and the
most important component is the Index Server.
The index server represents the core database process. It
contains the engines for processing data.

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,

Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 18
 Overview

Index Server: Index server is the main SAP HANA

database component

It contains the actual data stores and the engines for

processing the data.

The index server processes incoming SQL or MDX

statements in the transactions.

XS Engine: XS Engine is an optional component.

The XS engine is a web application server inside the SAP

HANA system. It allows clients to access the SAP HANA
system via HTTP.

 Overview

SAP HANA Studio

SAP HANA is not only a DB but also a set of different

software tools/applications which can be used by
developers and database administrator to interact with the
database. These are:
1. SAP HANA Studio
2. Web Based Development and Administration Tools
SAP HANA studio is a software which makes connection
to SAP HANA DB (or)
HANA Studio is an Eclipse-based, integrated
development environment (IDE) that is used to develop
Artifacts in a HANA server.
 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,
Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 20
 Overview

The SAP HANA studio can be used by variety of users like

1.System administrators utilize the SAP HANA studio, for

example, to start and stop servers, to monitor the
system, to configure system settings and to manage users
and security, amongst various other things.

2.Developers utilize the SAP HANA studio to create

content such as data models (views), tables, JavaScript,
HTML, stored procedures etc.
SAP has developed Fiori Apps in which we can consume
these HANA views , tables…etc

 Overview

Catalog and Content in HANA studio

In HANA Studio every HANA system has two main sub
nodes, Catalog and Content.

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,

Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 24
 Overview

Content

Is the place where we create or design database objects

like Views, Tables, Procedures…etc

In short, here we do modeling.

All these Views, Tables, Procedures…etc must be stored

under a folder called as a Package.

Ex – SD Package, MM Package, FI Package.

Once we finish designing and activate them, Runtime

objects are generated and stored in Catalog.
 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,
Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 25
 Overview

Catalog

Is the place where runtime objects are stored for each

table, view we create in Content area.

These runtime objects are stored into separate folders

called as Schemas.

So in SAP HANA Studio, when you open Catalog, you will

first see Schema; when you open Content, you will first see
packages.

Usually each user will have his own schema created by his
name automatically.

 Overview

SAP HANA Modeling

Modeling refers to an activity of preparing or modeling
data in database tables by creating views to depict a
business scenario.
We create modeling views on top of database tables .
These modeling views can be consumed in SAP FIORI
Apps or Java or HTML based applications
You can also use SAP tools like SAP Lumira or Analysis
Office to directly connect to HANA and report modeling
views. It is also possible to use 3rd party tools like MS
Excel to connect to HANA and create your report.

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,

Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 29
 Overview

The modeling views are classified as:

1. Attribute Views
2. Analytic Views
3. Calculation Views
Attribute Views – A view built on master data or
Description/Text data is called Attribute View

In attribute views wedefine joins between tables and

select a subset or all of the table’s columns and rows.

Attributes view are further used in Analytic- and

Calculation Views.
 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,
Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 30
 Overview

Customer information's together, its called Customer

Attribute View

Product related information's together, its called Product

Attribute View

Attribute Views are basically the Master data(descriptive

data)

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,

Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 31
 Overview

Analytical Views – A view built on master data or with

transaction data is called Analytical View i.e. When you
combine this Attribute Views(Both Customer Att view and
Product Att view) along with Transaction data "Net Sales
& Quantity Sold", then it will be called as Analytical View
In BW language, Analytic views are typically defined as
at least one fact table that contains transactional data along
with number of tables or attribute views

Analytic views leverage the computing power of SAP HANA to

calculate aggregate data, e. g., the number of bikes sold per
country, or the maximum power consumed per month.

It is specifically designed to execute star schema queries

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,
Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 32
 Overview

Star Schema means a single fact table(Tx Table) sits in

the middle and is connected to other surrounding
dimension tables(Master data tables) like a star.

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,

 Overview

Calculation View -
Calculation views means composite views, i.e. it is used
to combine other views. It can consume other Analytical,
Attribute, other Calculation Views & tables.

It can perform complex calculations not possible with

other views.

Calculation view can be defined as either graphical

views or scripted views. Graphical views can be modeled
using the graphical modeling features of the SAP HANA
Modeler. Scripted views are created using SQL
statements.
