SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics Architecture and Integration

 

SAP S/4 HANA Embedded Analytics architecture comprises of 4 layers, namely

1. Persistency layer
2. Modeling layer
3. Access layer
4. Visualization layer

In this blog I will be emphasizing more on persistency and modeling layer.

RISE with SAP: Multi-layer Defense in Depth Architecture of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition

Introduction: The SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition is at the core of “RISE with SAP” offering which holds customer’s mission critical data and business processes. SAP Enterprise Cloud Services (ECS) provides a managed private environment with multi-layer defense in depth architecture handling infrastructure and technical managed services. This includes end-to-end SLA for the full solution stacks and a proven security architecture, minimizing risk for our customers. Multi-layer security requires security to be handled at people, process and technology levels. In this blog, we will discuss high level multi-layer "defense in depth" architecture offered to customers. For the sake of simplicity, only high level and abstracted approach is presented.

Approach to Multi-Layer Defense in Depth Architecture:

SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition is a “single tenanted” managed private environment for customers where SAP creates a separate account (AWS) or subscription (Azure) or project (GCP) for each customer. The applications and database virtual instances are solely dedicated to a single customer. Security by Design and Security by Default are deeply embedded into the multi-layer architecture.

What Is SAP HANA Streaming Analytics?

SAP HANA streaming analytics enables you to analyze high-volume, high-velocity data event streams to extract data. This post will introduce you to SAP HANA streaming analytics fundamentals.

Let’s get started with some basic information. Events are messages that are sent when something happens, for example, a stock price went up or a plane landed (too early, too late, or on time). Internet of Things (IoT) devices constantly send out messages, often in different formats, making processing these messages and generating alerts for exceptions difficult. Especially for the most interesting events (exceptions), the goal is to store this information in the database for further analysis to identify patterns, detect problems, and predict trends.

Testing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Implementations

To accelerate testing activities, SAP S/4HANA Cloud comes with a test automation tool, detailed test scripts, and prepackaged standard automated tests (called test automates) for most business processes.

The test automation tool and test automates are ready to run as part of SAP S/4HANA Cloud and can be used without prior automation tool experience. The tool offers a simplified way to develop custom test automates to achieve automated testing for specific customizations of business processes. Considering the delivery pace of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP extends support for automated testing by triggering tests in SAP S/4HANA Cloud customer quality tenants with each upgrade using the tool called the post upgrade test. Furthermore, while the test automation tool is native to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, you can also use this tool with SAP Cloud ALM.
