Post SPS 11 there are changes and restructuring in the way of HANA modeling. In this document I am trying to discuss about Table Functions (User Defined Functions).
The recommendation is to make use of Graphical Calculation views as the end product, so that the complexity of the information views are hidden inside Table Functions.
SAP recommends to Migrate Script-based Calculation Views to Table Functions and then into the Graphical Calculation Views. In the future, SAP recommends using graphical calculation views for modeling any analytic use cases. A migration tool within the SAP HANA modeler allows you to convert existing script-based calculation views available in your system to table functions and graphical calculation views.
