Publishing data to Salesforce from SAP HANA using SDI.

Introduction

There are use cases where one has to publish huge volume of data from SAP HANA to Salesforce,  this blog describes options that are available with the Advantco Salesforce adapter for SDI.

Playing with HANA parameters

Note: This blog is the recreation of an old blog on an old profile as part of the process of pulling all my content together on a consolidated profile.

The purpose of this blog was to share two end to end examples of passing parameters within HANA and using placeholders in SELECT statements.

I have created two scenarios:

1. HANA Table –> Table Function (with parameters) –> Calculation View (with parameters)

2. HANA Table –> Calculation View (with parameters) –> Procedure (with parameters)

Jenkins Build Process with SAPUI5 through HANA XSA

In this blog, we will build the NodesJS and SAPUI5 app in SAP HANA XSA that controls the Jenkins build process.

SAP HANA 2.0 SPS03 on HANA Express – The (very good) first impressions

There are so many new features that I do not even know where to start! I have been playing with these for the last weeks and updating tutorials on XS Advanced. But I had to contain my excitement and  wait until everybody else could get their copy.

There are plenty of very cool features released in SAP HANA, express edition 2.0 SPS03, some are at plain sight and some not. This is my own recollection of the some of them.

Error Message “Unkeep Attribute could not be removed” for SQL Queries against External SAP HANA Views with Non-Cumulatives

Have you ever tried to expose a BW query with non-cumulative key figures as External SAP HANA View? Then, you probably bumped into the error message “Unkeep Attribute could not be removed”. This blog explains why the error message is raised and how it can be avoided under certain conditions.

When to use Execute in SQL Engine for Calculation Views

This posting will give an overview of the implications of the setting “Execute in SQL Engine”. This setting is available for Calculation Views to overrule the default execution behavior.

Background

When Calculation Views are included in queries the query is first optimized in a special engine called “Calculation Engine”. This has a drawback when the query is included in a larger SQL query because in this case two different optimization processes are involved: One for the SQL query part and a separate one for the Calculation View part. This can lead to inefficiencies between the different optimization processes.

Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) Database Artifacts and Data Relocation Use Cases

Today’s post goes into more depth on the database artifacts that can be generated within a DLM profile and provides more detail on the data relocation direction use cases for moving hot data to cold data storage, cold to hot data storage or bi-directional movement of data between hot and cold data stores. Let’s dive right in:

S/4HANA – what impact on BW and BW/4HANA??

In this blog, I’ll detail another issue linked to the migration of a system but in this case, it is the migration of ECC to S/4HANA and the impact this has on the BW and BW/4HANA systems.

The main impact on BW and BW/4HANA after upgrading ECC to S/4HANA is on the BW datasources (DS) object type.

Introduction and algorithm description

I have used Jupyter Notebook which uses the real time itemset dataset to demonstrate the association rule mining algorithms below which are provided by in hana_ml package.

Expect Better from your Data Warehouse

As a young man growing up, my teachers, coaches, or other adults would not hesitate to use words like “You can do better”, “I expect more”, and even “Just do your best”. I (like most kids) often fell short of expectations. Each spoken time, these phrases would create an opportunity for me to evaluate how I fell short and how I must change to be successful in the future.
