SAP Datasphere: HANA System Memory and CPU – Overall Consumption and Breakdown

Introduction

This blog post series describes a concept on how to monitor your HANA system and consumption of SAP Datasphere. Starting from an analysis of the HANA system resource situation it will enable you to break down the resource consumption into types like reporting via Ina/MDS, Task Handling, Open SQL and more.

The target audience is the central SAP Datasphere Administrator (global perspective) or a key user of an implementation project, who likes to monitor his resource consumption (project perspective).

MDG DQM: Enriching product master data with derivation rules in S/4 HANA

Today in this blog we move our focus to performing derivations using MDG DQM.

INTRODUCTION

MDG DQM from S/4 HANA 2021 can be used to derive attributes of product data and business partner data in both mass processing and consolidation. From S/4 HANA 2022 MDG DQM also provides the capability of derive product and business partner attributes in central governance as well.

With the strong push of moving processes to cloud with SAP BTP, MDG also is moving towards cloud with SAP MDG cloud edition. Come S/4 HANA 2023 for MDG will also see significant transition to cloud as a result use of DQM for rules and derivations becomes cruical, as we need to re discover the traditional way of doing development in MDG.

SHAP Interaction values with Automated Predictive (APL)

We already covered SHAP-explained models for classification and regression scenarios in a previous APL blog post, and at the time we talked briefly about the main effect of a predictor and its interaction effect with the other predictors of the model. Now with HANA ML 2.17, you have the ability to visualize the interaction between variables in a heatmap. This new visualization adds to the bar chart Variable Importance in providing a global explanation of the classification/regression model. To get that new feature you need APL 2311 or a later version.

This blog will walk you through an example using the Census dataset that comes with APL.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, ABAP environment case introduction

Since the introduction of a 3-system landscape (3SL) in September 2022 for the SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, SAP added a new pillar to the Extensibility landscape: Developer Extensibility, also known as SAP S/4HANA Cloud, ABAP environment. But what can Developer Extensibility do? Can we do classical ABAP programming in SAP S/4HANA Cloud? Can we debug the code? Will Key User Extensibility (in-app extensibility) be of no use anymore? … Lots of questions come to our mind. Today, I would like to present some differentiation scenarios we implemented using Developer Extensibility for SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, hoping it can give you some concrete ideas on the capabilities of Developer Extensibility and the typical business scenarios we can solve using Developer Extensibility.
