Step by Step Installation Guide for SAP IDES S/4HANA 1610 Part 3

In this part of blog we create the partition of disks /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd, create directories for both HANA Database and HANA IDES Setup files, mounting both directories to relevant disk is also part of this blog, finally we extract and copy the setup file to the HANA IDES setup directory.

HANA Procedure performer XS JS Project

In this post I want to share the way how to call HANA Procedures via XS JS. This is not a how-to guidepost, I want to share the end functionality that we use in our work. This approach might be very convenient in integration projects when the data extraction rules can be changed during the UAT, so you won’t need to change anything in your integration solutions you just need to apply this requirements in your procedures and change will be committed on the fly.

Step by Step Installation Guide for SAP IDES S/4HANA 1610 Part 2

In this part of SAP IDES S/4HANA installation we will install SUSE Linux in the Virtual Machine which we created in the Part 1 of this blog.

◈ Install SUSE Linux Enterprise for SAP Applications in the Virtual Machine

1. Select S4HANA IDES Virtual Machine from the left panel of VMware vSphere Web Client and click the Power on the selected virtual machine icon   (Figure 2.1)

Hana Hadoop Integration with Federated Access

Data Lake analytics have become real. But the challenge is to access the data quickly and provide meaningful insights. There are several techniques to access the data faster. In this blog we see how we can integrate Hana with Hadoop to get insights for larger data sets quickly.

If you have both Hana & Hadoop in your eco-system. SAP has provided an option to integrate HANA and Hadoop using Hana Spark controller. Where power of In-Memory processing can be used for real time insights and we can in parallel use Hadoop ability to process huge data sets.

Accessing Data using REST APIs with Python on XSA

My previous blogs have been focused on setting up Python on HANA XSA, connecting applications to HANA Databases, and configuring security and routing settings for applications. In this blog, I am going to delve deeper into accessing a HANA Database within a Python application and creating REST APIs to query data.

How to Expose a HANA Table via oData

With IOT gaining traction and SAP’s HANA DB as well as applications becoming warehousing tools, we’re seeing a greater need to integrate IOT data into HANA. One method of achieving this is by allowing sensor data from IOT devices to publish or post data directly into HANA database tables. Once data is in HANA, additional data modelling can be carried out and formatted data exposed for end user consumption to front end tools such as SAP Analytics Cloud or Business Objects.

Myth and truth about cluster & pool tables on HANA

In general nearly everyone knows that with new installations based on NW750 there are no cluster tables anymore. When you migrate to HANA one prerequisite is that all cluster and pool tables have to be declustered/depooled.

But is this really correct? In my last projects there were a lot of issues regarding cluster and pool tables. SUM and SWPM have not worked as expected and so some data was not migrated / depooled / declustered automatically in cause of bugs.
