Let's get Started
If you have been wondering What SAP HANA is, let me tell you, SAP Hana is a
database with unique in-memory architecture and utilizes an easier data modelling
system as compared to the regular database. SAP Hana is a column-oriented, in-
memory database, that combines OLAP and OLTP operations into a single system;
thus in general SAP HANA is an OLTAP system. 
For most of the other databases that save data on the hard drive, SAP HANA saves it
in memory. This implies that when you require the data, the system can browse it
directly from the in-memory storage rather than calling it up from the hard drive. And
this lets your system operate quicker when pulling the information you need. 
Nevertheless, presently, SAP HANA has evolved more—beyond being just a database.
In just a few years, SAP HANA has been acknowledged by its many clients as a
versatile platform that has become the basis of an intelligent enterprise. Companies
make use of SAP HANA to upgrade business processes, enhance digital insights, and
streamline their IT domains. As a data foundation, SAP HANA disregards the
hindrance of harbouring separate legacy systems and siloed data. It can cut data
redundancy, hardware needs and data management costs as well. 
SAP HANA explores live data for real-time business decisions, processing
transactions, and analytics wherever they are located, employing cutting-edge data
processing engines for business, spatial, text, graph, and series data. SAP HANA backs
real-time analytics for observing telecommunications networks, detecting fraud and
security, forecasting and profitability reporting, enhancing energy usage, and
additional business processes.

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

More than a thousand certified appliance configurations from over thirteen leading
vendors operate on SAP HANA. Different cloud suppliers deliver SAP HANA as an
Infrastructure-as-a-Service, such as Google Cloud Platform, Microso Azure, and
Amazon Web Services. SAP also presents their own cloud services like SAP HANA
Enterprise Cloud, a confidential managed cloud, and SAP Cloud Platform, a Platform-
as-a-Service. SAP HANA is authorized to operate on Linux. The system is developed to
handle both vertical and horizontal and horizontal scaling as SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server is a reference development platform for SAP so ware, SUSE pairs with SAP to
adjust the Linux OS for high-end performance. The recent ERP system from SAP's
ERP so ware product line, SAP S/4HANA is designed on the basis of the ingenious
SAP Hana database technology. It was founded as the fourth product generation in
the year 2015. Clients can select between the SAP S/4HANA Cloud and the On-
Premise solution.

SAP HANA Interview Questions for Freshers

1.   Describe briefly what is SAP HANA?

Page 4 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

One of the most favoured analytical products around, SAP HANA is used by many
high-end companies like HPE, IBM, and Dell, all these companies own products and
services optimized for the so ware. 
German so ware giant SAP's flagship product, SAP HANA is an in-memory database
platform that scrutinizes data at elevated speeds by processing information saved in
RAM, rather than acquiring it from the hard disk or SSD. This way it lets other
programmes use extended amounts of data much more quickly. HANA, a proprietary
product denoted a 'high-performance analytic appliance' in 2011, it was first
launched and HANA 2017 was released six years later. The system can support
petabytes of data in-memory while returning results within a second.

2.   Describe the SAP HANA origins.

Commenced in the year 2006, SAP HANA was developed by SAP co-founder Hasso
Plattner during the time he was a computer science professor posted at the Hasso
Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany. The plan was to design a database that could
work with a near-zero response time for the purpose of transactional and analytical
data processing. Plattner desired a system that could respond to any potential
business question in real-time. A er many years of development at SAP, in October
2010, a prerelease edition of SAP HANA was presented to chosen clients. The first
version of SAP, SAP HANA 1.0, was released on June 18, 2011. 
SAP designed a cloud platform-as-a-service equipped with built-in support for SAP
HANA in 2012. Later it renamed its Java-based server SAP NetWeaver Cloud to SAP
HANA Cloud Platform (It changed its name in 2017 to SAP Cloud Platform and 2021 to
SAP Business Technology Platform again). In 2013, SAP presented SAP HANA XS, a
light app server implanted within SAP HANA that permitted application
development.
In 2015, SAP declared a successor for the ERP ECC it had created in 1992. The new
solution was to be anointed SAP S/4HANA and would possess numerous factors of
existing ERP processes under one umbrella. Underpinning the latest solution? SAP
HANA.

3.   Mention the capabilities of SAP HANA?

SAP HANA features comprise:
Multi-Model Processing – SAP HANA is competent in preserving and processing
numerous types and collections of data in various formats, like graphs, tables,
and documents.
Hybrid Processing – HANA can work both as a transactional and an analytical
database. It can process both types of requests on a single data set concurrently.
App Development Tools – SAP HANA is packed with a combination of
application development tools, like Eclipse and Web IDE. Administrators can
streamline their personalized application's architecture by operating with
coding languages that best suit their requirements and objectives.

4.   How Much Does SAP HANA Cost?

The price of an SAP HANA license relies on per-gigabyte use. SAP takes into
consideration additional aspects, involving the present market price of competitor
databases while delivering a quote for SAP HANA. The total price depends, however,
on each business’ needs. A few things to consider when analyzing whether to
incorporate SAP HANA or not are execution needs, adaptability, scalability, and
whether or not full control over the instance is required or just want to take
advantage of in-memory computing.

5.   Describe the types of SAP HANA Installations.

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

Once a business has chosen to move to SAP HANA, it can select from one of three
deployment options.

Page 7 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

On-Premise: 
Users get an easy signature file by buying a key from the SAP Support
website in an on-premise implementation.
Cloud:
There are two kinds of cloud implementations known as public or private.
Those who are getting their license to the public cloud would take the same
steps as those functioning on-premise installations.
Amazon Web Services, Microso Azure, or Google Cloud Platform would act
as a host to the cloud instance of SAP HANA. On the other hand, a private
cloud implementation lets clients license an SAP HANA database on a cloud
that is impressive to them. This can be a limited server hosted by a third
party, or a server physically hosted by the company renting SAP HANA.
Two-Tiered (Hybrid):
In a two-tiered implementation, companies run on both on-premise and
cloud versions of SAP HANA. There are various grounds why this may be
desirable, such as a wish to analyze the option of a future full-cloud
deployment while currently operating an on-premise deployment.

6.   What are the SAP HANA use cases?

SAP HANA backs diverse use cases for real-time analytics. Some examples are:
Optimizing telecommunications
Supply chain optimization
Retail sales optimization
Fraud detection
Profitability forecasting
Energy use optimization
SAP HANA has demonstrated its value in the sector of data management and
application development. It retains more than 1000 certified applications that run
predominantly on SAP HANA. It is regarded as one of the few database systems that
you can rely on when networks are performing best. SAP HANA is also certified for the
Linux operating system (OS).

7.   Elucidate the Benefits of SAP HANA.

It is a well-regarded fact that SAP HANA is more than just a database used for storing
and serving data. 
Here are six of the top advantages of operating working SAP HANA:

Page 9 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

Easily Handle Big Data: With SAP HANA, you can handle big chunks of data
from any source. Also, SAP HANA’s inbuilt machine learning and cutting-edge
analytic abilities permit you to include unstructured data, such as predictive,
text, spatial, event streams, and time series, enabling your business to arrive at
better decisions.
Gain Real-Time Analytics: The in-memory technology of HANA dramatically
decreases the time it takes to derive the most comprehensive reports. With
HANA's accelerated business intelligence functionalities, you will be able to
process data in near real-time, helping you make business decisions much more
decisively.
Scalability: SAP HANA utilizes dynamic tiering, which indicates that data that’s
operated repeatedly stays in memory whereas less-used data shi s to disk when
there is less space. Not only is this an incredibly economical way to handle large
data volumes, but when you take HANA’s state-of-the-art compression and
columnar storage into consideration, it can cause a data footprint decline of
anywhere from 3 to 5 times.
Single Source of Truth: A considerably simple advantage of SAP HANA is that it
provides you with the capability to minimize your data silos by combining
transactional and analytical data on a single solution. One source of truth allows
us to discard errors, reduplication of data, and a lot of additional issues that take
time and energy to fix.
Flexibility and Versatility: One of the most multi-faceted data solutions, you
can deploy SAP HANA in a public or private cloud, in numerous clouds, or in a
hybrid scenario. It also backs hybrid transactional and analytical processing,
along with multiple other types of data.

8.   What are the shortcomings of shi ing to SAP HANA?

Now that you have checked the advantages of SAP HANA, you might be more
confident to execute the migration. Nonetheless, before choosing to make the
transition, you also have to be mindful of the shortcomings you’ll encounter during
the process. Here are some of the disadvantages you should be cautious about while
shi ing to SAP HANA:

Page 10 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

Planning: Pain Points: Many companies fail to recognize the actual problems of
their existing database infrastructure. Therefore, they miss the scope of the
project. This results in wasted endeavours and resources. Without a concrete
project goal and precise estimation of project expense, you will not have an
accurate roadmap to digital transformation, thus it can negatively affect your
Return on Investment (ROI).
Technical Issue: Code Conversion: Other shortcomings emerge from the
technical aspect of the migration. If your system is still operating with a non-
Unicode language, then it can cause a major challenge to migrate to SAP HANA.
SAP HANA only backs the Unicode system, so most of the new SAP NetWeaver
technology and SAP applications will be available only in Unicode. Thus, the
requirement for Unicode system conversion has to be executed mindfully before
moving to SAP HANA. Many companies are not aware of this knowledge of
conversion, as a result, leads to system failures and waste.
Execution: Downtime: Like in any other migration project, it all begins with an
initial migration in the sandbox for the purpose of testing. Post which, the
migration moves to Development and Quality before eventually advancing into
Production. The primary problem when shi ing to Production is the downtime
as the consumers cannot access the system during this process. There might be
a greater possibility of system failures during the migration if you do not pre-test
the new database system comprehensively. It would lead to more significant
downtime or worse, failures would be detected too late, leading to even
lengthier outages.

9.   Mention 10 Other Fundamental SAP HANA Terms.

There are a few essential SAP HANA terms you should also be acquainted with in
addition to the details mentioned above. Let us take a look at those:

Page 11 © Copyright by Interviewbit

Apache Hadoop: An open-source, external, so ware library employed for

accumulating and processing big data to expand data storage and decrease
processing times. It is o en used in tangent with SAP HANA.
SAP BW/4HANA: This is a data warehousing solution, which relies on SAP
S/4HANA. The contemporary counterpart of SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW).
SAP HANA Application Associate Exam: An exam that lets anyone who wants to
display knowledge of SAP HANA have the possibility to demonstrate their
expertise and attain SAP certification.
SAP HANA Cloud Services: An edition of SAP HANA made to operate in the
cloud. Revealed at SAPPHIRE in 2019, it is presently under development.
SAP HANA cockpit: The chief system administration instrument for SAP HANA
2.0.
SAP HANA Data Management Suite: It is a data management, orchestration,
and governance solution comprising SAP Data Hub and SAP HANA.
SAP HANA Data Warehousing Foundation: A tool utilized for constructing an
enterprise data warehouse for SAP HANA with the help of SAP SQL programming
language.
SAP HANA, express edition: Designed to be operated with a smaller memory
footprint and in the cloud, it is a specialized edition of the SAP HANA database.
SAP HANA Predictive Analysis Library (PAL): A compilation of processes in the
Application Function Library utilized to incorporate predictive modelling.
SAP HANA Studio: This is another tool, which is used to interact with an SAP
HANA system and handle security. As of SAP HANA 2.0, SAP HANA Studio has
been deprecated.

10.   State the contrast between SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA?

A familiar term to all, SAP S/4HANA is an application developed to operate on the
SAP HANA in-memory database platform. It was released in 2015, SAP S/4HANA is
SAP’s most recent ERP (enterprise resource planning) and business intelligence
offering, it uses technologies like machine learning, Artificial Intelligence, and
cutting-edge analytics to simplify business processes. 

Page 12 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

From enhancing production planning in manufacturing to streamlining accounting

processes in finance, SAP S/4HANA can change organizations’ business processes via
smart automation. It can keep track and handle business resources, including
products, and handle business commitments, like payrolls and purchase orders. 
For example, in the case of retailers, it can deliver real-time stock availability to
consumers, assist with more practical and efficient supply-chain management, and
utilize predictive analytics to recognize and control delivery delays. SAP S/4HANA is
the 4th version of SAP Business Suite and is developed to be more user-friendly than
the previous versions. It can also easily resolve more complicated problems and
handle much more data. Though SAP S/4HANA is cloud-native, it is not restricted to
operating on the cloud. It has versatile ways of deployment, like via public, private, or
hybrid cloud and on-premise.

11.   Mention the differences between BWA (Business Warehouse

Accelerator) and SAP HANA. Also, state how is SAP HANA
operating presently?
Business Warehouse Accelerator or BWA: The in-memory accelerator for
Business Warehouse is BWA. The primary goal of BWA is to enhance the query
performance of SAP Net Weaver BW. BWA is solely designed to speed-up BW
queries, it also decreases the time of data acquisition by enduring the copies of
the info cube.
SAP HANA: It is an in-memory database. In this platform high-performance,
analytic reports and applications thrive. Another important thing is that data
can be loaded in SAP HANA from SAP and non-SAP Source System via DXC, SLT,
Sybase, and BODS. This can be viewed with the help of SAP BO/BI, Crystal
Reports, or Excel.
Presently, SAP HANA is operating as an in-memory database for SAP BW. And
now SAP HANA is capable of improving the overall execution of SAP Net weaver
BW.

12.   Explain SAP HANA Architecture in short?

Page 13 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

The SAP HANA database is created in C++ and operates on SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server. SAP HANA database comprises numerous servers and the most significant
feature is the Index Server. SAP HANA database includes Statistics Server, Name
Server, Index Server, XS Engine, and Preprocessor Server.

13.   What is a text table in SAP? What is the need of designing a

text table?
So, table A is a text table of table B given the key of A consists of the key of B and an
extra language key field (field of data type LANG). Table A may, thus, include
explanatory text in different languages for every key entry of B.
Objective: Text Join is utilized to fetch the depiction based on the consumer's
session language. Once we enforce the text join in SAP HANA, it finds out the
consumer's language automatically and provides a definition in that language.

14.   Does SAP HANA only operate under a SAP system?

The platform is best suited for SAP and non-SAP applications- what is feasible
actually relies on the license selected. The SAP HANA Runtime Edition is developed
for only SAP applications. With the help of these applications, work can be executed
at the application level. This is not the same while selecting the SAP HANA Full-Use
License: This enables organizations with all of the functionality of the platform. Work
can also be executed at the database level.
SAP HANA is appropriate for third-party applications. HANA backs different
standards, like the commonly used programming language SQL. Thus, deeper
programming knowledge in ABAP is not needed. Without ABAP, tables can also be
designed, supported, and readout. Lastly, SAP HANA also backs SAP UI5, which is a
framework for designing individual apps suited for businesses having user-friendly
interfaces like, based on Fiori.

15.   Describe what is schema mapping?

Page 14 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

Schema mapping is accomplished when the physical schema within the target
system is not identical to the physical schema in the source system. Assuming we are
transferring components from DEV (Development System) to PROD (Production
System). The tables in Development System live in DEV_SCHEMA and the exact tables
reside in the PROD system in the PROD_SCHEMA schema. If an attribute view is
moved from DEV to PROD, it will not function as the schema name is described in the
definition of attribute view. For the promoted objects to function in PROD, schema
mapping ought to be set up in the target system. In this situation, the schema
mapping to be designed is:
Authoring Schema
Physical Schema
DEV_SCHEMA
PROD_SCHEMA

SAP HANA Interview Questions for Experienced

16.   Mention the difference between the Variable and Input
parameter in HANA?
Variables are attached to columns and are employed for filtering with the help of
WHERE clauses. They can just include the values available in the Columns they
associate to. Variables do not affect the performance,
HANA Input parameters are used to drive the execution on the basis of user
input. Occasionally, you might not want a variable to simply limit the data of a
view. But you might also want to take input from the customer and process it,
returning dynamic data on the basis of the user selection. Input Parameters
makes this achievable.

17.   Cite the function of the persistence layer in SAP HANA?

SAP HANA contains an in-memory computing engine and the data is available right
away without the need for any backup. During hardware failure or power cutoff, to
evade the chance of misplacing data, the persistence layer acts as a saviour and saves
all the data in the hard drive that is not volatile.

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

18.   Define what is a modeling studio?

Modelling studio in HANA executes numerous tasks like:
States which tables are saved in HANA, the first part is to obtain the meta-data
and then prepare data replication jobs
Handle Data Services to get through the data from SAP Business Warehouse and
other systems
Handle ERP instances connection, the existing release does not support
connecting to different ERP instances
Employ data services for the modelling
Accomplish modelling in HANA itself, essential licenses for SAP BO data services.

19.   State the contrast between Raw Data, Distinct values, and

Analysis when you are accomplishing the Data Preview?
Raw Data: It shows all attributes alongside data in a tabular format.
Distinct Values: It shows all attributes alongside data in a graphical format.
Analysis: It depicts all measures and attributes in a graphical format.

20.   State SAP HANA backs Massively Parallel Processing?

With the accessibility of Multi-Core CPUs, more elevated CPU execution speeds can
be attained. 
Furthermore, HANA Column-based storage makes it effortless to perform operations
in parallel with the help of multiple processor cores. 
Data is already vertically partitioned In a column store. This implies that operations
on various columns can readily be processed in parallel. If numerous columns ought
to be explored or aggregated, each of these processes can be assigned to a separate
processor core. Additionally, by dividing the column into numerous sections that can
be processed by various processor cores, operations on one column can be
parallelized. With the help of the SAP HANA database, queries can be accomplished
rapidly and parallelly.

21.   What are the different types of Input parameters

supported?

Page 16 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

The following types of Input parameters are supported.

Currency: This can be used during currency conversion where the end-user
should mention a source or target currency.
Date: It is Used to get back dates from the end-user with the help of a calendar
type input box.
Static List: This can be used during the time the end-user needs to have a setlist
of values to select from.
Attribute Value: If an Input Variable owns this type, it serves a similar purpose as
a normal Variable.
Note: If none of the above is applicable you do not have to mention an Input
Variable type. It can be le blank.

22.   Name the various compression methods in HANA?

Run-length encoding
Cluster encoding.
Dictionary encoding.

23.   What happens when an object is activated in HANA?

When an object is activated, it becomes accessible for reporting and analysis. A er
the view has been successfully activated, a run-time object is built in the _SYS_BIC
schema.
For instance, let’s say there exists a calculation view CV_VIEW1 in package
“MyPackage”. A er this view is activated, a run time object (column view) will be
developed in _SYS_BIC schema having the name “MyPackage/CV_VIEW1”. This
column view is implemented while performing the data preview of the calculation
view. 

24.   State the difference between Activate and Redeploy?

Page 17 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

Activate – Implement the inactive objects.

Redeploy – Implements the active objects in any of the scenarios:
If your runtime object becomes corrupted or deleted, and you need to build
it again.
If your runtime problems while object activation, and the object status
shows active.

25.   Mention the kinds of schema in HANA?

In HANA, there are 3 kinds of schemas.
User-Defined Schema: These are developed by the user, DBA or System
Administrator
SLT Derived Schema: During the configuration of SLT, it develops the schema in
the HANA system. All the tables imitated into the HANA system are included in
this schema
System Defined Schema: System Defined schemas are provided with the SAP
HANA database and include information on the HANA system. _SYS_REPO,
_SYS_BIC, _SYS_BI, _SYS_STATISTICS are the system schemas.

26.   If the tables of a schema are implemented to create

modeling views then why is it essential to grant SELECT
privilege to user _SYS_REPO?
If tables of a schema for example SCHEMA_ABC are implemented to create the
modelling views, then the following SQL statement must be performed before
starting any such modelling views.

Page 18 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA SCHEMA_ABC TO _SYS_REPO with the option of GRANT

Consider _SYS_REPO as “the activation guy”. It takes your models and makes the
required runtime objects from them. Thus user _SYS_REPO requires the allowance to
choose YOUR tables/views. (If _SYS_REPO user is unable to decide on the tables
added in the from-clause of the view-definition, it will fail to describe that view). If
different customers require to choose this view (It is quite obvious this is always the
scenario, else the views would not make any sense), then _SYS_REPO ought to have
the extra allowance to grant the selection further (with the grant option).
A er all your models that access data in your schemas has been activated,
_SYS_REPO wants to offer you and other users read access to the activated models.

27.   Define SAP Collections Insight?

SAP Collections Insight backed by SAP HANA lets you access real-time mobile
association and collections account information at any given place and time. It
allows you to fix collections issues, better manage your collections efforts, tighten
business relationships, and get paid quickly.

28.   Mention the advantages of owning a collections

management solution backed by SAP HANA?
SAP HANA can gather huge amounts of elaborate data from source systems, into the
memory directly, where mapping, synchronization, and translation, can be
accomplished in real-time, without the requirement for data duplication and pre-
aggregations. This allows users to plan rapidly and iteratively using their complete,
detail-level data-spending less time collecting and assembling data and more time
making the critical decisions that drive their business.

29.   What are the different user parameters that can be defined

in the Semantic layer?
Measure and Attribute
Hierarchies
Parameters/Variables
New Calculated Column.

Page 19 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 SAP HANA Interview Questions

30.   Define the Hierarchy? What are the kinds of hierarchy

supported in HANA?
To structure and specify the relationships among attributes in a modelling view.
Hierarchies are implemented.
Companies describe hierarchies for classification of information, letting roll-up and
drill-down analysis. For instance, a sales company might assign a salesperson to a
country and a country is assigned to a region. Then the sales data can be calculated
and scrutinized by region, country, or salesperson.
There are two kinds of hierarchies:
Level Hierarchies are rigid hierarchies, where you can access the root and the
child nodes in the defined order. For instance, organizational structures.
Parent/Child Hierarchies are regarded as value hierarchies, i.e, hierarchies
obtained from the value of a node. Such as a Bill of Materials (BOM) includes
Assembly and Part hierarchies, and an Employee Master record includes
Employee and Manager data. The hierarchy can be analyzed on the basis of a
selected parent, also, there are scenarios where the child can be a parent.

31.   What’s the objective of Generating Time Data?

Under Quick Launch, Generate Time Data option allows the consumer to develop the
Time data so that it can be employed for designing the Time-based Attribute Views.
When you select Generate Time Data, you will be supplied with two options:
Gregorian: Mostly the data will be rendered based on From and To years
alongside the granularity - Second, Minute, Hour, Day, Month mentioned.
Fiscal: In this circumstance, the time data will be rendered based on the variant
described (some organizations may use their time).
Standard tables T005T, T005U, T009, and T009B in SAP HANA are needed if you opt
for the Fiscal type.
