The Road to SAP HANA & Beyond . . .

The Beginning!

I first heard about HANA when I was working with SAP in 2008 & then Around 2012, one of my Friends called me from BayArea to join his startup that is doing some work on SAP HANA, SAP’s in-memory database. I just remember it as a Database back then.

Then I heard about OpenSAP and I started taking courses on SAP HANA. I also took a course by Vishal Sikka, then SAP CTO.

Back then there was no such thing as S/4 HANA & many customers were just starting to hear about what HANA can accomplish for them.

Core Data Services – Standard Utilities / Reports

Introduction:

CDS Views can be created and viewed only from ABAP Development Tools (ADT) .The objective of this blog is to list down some standard utilities related to CDS Views which would allow us to gain information on these views from SAP GUI.

These reports will be useful for users who are not having access to ADT tools or not able to access the system from ADT due to missing authorization.

Supported SAP Product versions on HANA 2.0

“SAP has released SAP HANA Database 2.0 for SAP Kernel 7.49 64-Bit unicode and higher for certain operating system platforms. Therefore, SAP products that use these kernel versions, and are still in SAP Extended Maintenance after 2016 will be operated on SAP HANA Database 2.0.”

Above statement is from Note 2420699 – Release of SAP HANA Database 2.0 for older SAP Versions. Since Kernel version 7.49 is download compatible to SAP NetWeaver 7.4, Hence, we can assume below products are eligible to run on SAP HANA Database 2.0, with minimum version SPS0 Revision 001.
