SAP HANA Live Components
SAP Real Estate Cockpit is powered by SAP HANA and uses the following SAP HANA components:
SAP HANA
SAP HANA is an in-memory database platform that you can use to analyze large volumes of data in real-time.
SAP HANA Extended Application Services (SAP HANA XS)

SAP HANA Extended Application Services (SAP HANA XS) is a lightweight application server in SAP HANA.
Virtual Data Model (VDM)

A Virtual Data Model (VDM) is a data provider and a generic interface to the SAP HANA database. This
interface consists of query views that are used to analyse key performance indicators (KPIs). The VDM is a
structured representation of SAP HANA database views used in the SAP HANA analytics framework for SAP
Business Suite, and is deployed with SAP HANA Live for SAP Business Suite.
You can use the VDMs provided by SAP or use them as templates. You can use, for example, the VDMs for
SAP for Flexible Real Estate Management or for SAP ERP. For more information, see help.sap.com/hba
Application Help .
2.4
Pre-Installation
Certificates for Single Sign-On

For single sign-on (SSO) using logon tickets, you require an SSL server certificate for each of the components
between which you want to use SSO
SAP HANA XS Engine

For more information, see the SAP HANA Security Guide at help.sap.com/hana_platform
Information SAP HANA Authentication and Single Sign-On .
Security
Roles and Authorizations

You have to decide how to set up the roles and authorizations for the SAP Real Estate Cockpit users.
Operating System Access for SAP HANA Database server

To configure HTTPS and SSO in the SAP HANA database, the administrator requires privileges to access SAP
HANA on the operating system level.
For more information, see the SAP HANA Administrator's Guide at SAP Help Portal at help.sap.com/
hana_platform System Administration and Maintenance Operating System User <sid>adm
Data Replication
Required if you use SAP HANA in a side-by-side scenario alongside any database that contains the SAP Business
Suite data.
Ensure that data replication between the database that contains the SAP Business Suite data and SAP HANA is
configured.

Click Semantic.
2.
Click Add.
3.
Click Edit to configure the semantic: the Semantic Configuration menu is displayed.
4.
Click Apply, then Accept.
Example

Duration in hours
Dimensions:
Building name and room size

To get an overview of the gross rent and gross charges for a range of buildings of your real estate portfolio, you
can create a semantic with the following components:
Key figures:
Gross rent and gross charges
Dimension:
Building name
In addition, you can configure links to external systems for information purposes, for example, business
applications.
4.5
Configuring Filters
SAP Real Estate Cockpit components can be filtered on the dashboard in different ways. With filters, you can
influence the parameters, dimensions, and hierarchies of a semantic. Each filter is associated with a filter type
that allows you to filter components from different semantics on one dashboard at the same time.
The display of filter options on a dashboard is determined as follows:
All dashboard components are retrieved
All semantic components are retrieved
All filterable parameters, filterable dimensions, and filterable hierarchies of the semantics are retrieved
All possible values of the filterable parameters and filterable dimensions are retrieved
All values by filter type are grouped and displayed as filters on the dashboard
Filter Types
Filterable parameters, filterable dimensions, and filterable hierarchies are always associated with a filter type. For
each filter type, the following categories are available:

Hierarchy

one for values.
The main purpose of a filter type is to allow tiles from different semantics to be filtered by the same filter in SAP
Real Estate Cockpit. For example, both semantic A and semantic B might have a building, but specified in different
fields, BID and BuildingID, for example. Normally this would show up as two filters on the UI, but if they share
the same set of IDs, they can be combined by mapping them to the same filter type "Building". The user will only
see this filter type as a filter, but when he sets a value for the filter, in the background, both semantics receive the
value in their respective fields through the mapping between the field and the filter type.
Filterable Parameters
For each parameter of a semantic, you can select whether it is filterable and you can associate it with a filter type.
For parameters, all filter types are available.
If no user-specific filters are set, the default values of the parameters are used to retrieve data from the SAP
HANA view or OData service of the semantic. For parameters that are not filterable or without user-specific filters,
the default values are used.
Filterable Dimensions
For each dimension of a semantic, you can select whether it is filterable and you can associate it with a filter type.
For dimensions, all filter types except the hierarchy type are available.
If a user-specific filter is set, the retrieved data is filtered by the filter value or filter values, the selection returns
only data where the specified dimension has these filter values.
Filterable Hierarchies
For each hierarchy of a semantic, you can select whether it is filterable and you can associate it with a filter type.
For hierarchies, only the hierarchy filter type is available.
If a user-specific filter is set, only the data items that are part of the selected part of the hierarchy are retrieved.
18
PUBLIC

4.6
Configuring Hierarchies
You can use hierarchies to display structured data.

If the selected hierarchy element is not used as a parameter but the hierarchy has been defined in the semantic, a
SELECT statement is created. This statement is based on a join between the data view, for example, a VDM query
view, and the hierarchy view. From the hierarchy view the items below the selected element are retrieved,
including the selected one. The data view should return only the leafs, for example, buildings.
If the selected hierarchy element is used as a parameter and the hierarchy has been defined in the semantic, a
SELECT statement is created. This statement is based on a join between the data view and the hierarchy view.
From the hierarchy view, the items below the selected element are retrieved, including the selected one. The data
view should only return the leafs, for example, buildings.
If the selected hierarchy element is used as a parameter but no hierarchy has been defined in the semantic, a
SELECT statement is created. This statement selects the data from the data view. The data view may return data
on every level, including pre-aggregated values.
Note
Please note that only geographical hierarchies are supported. In the SAP Real Estate Cockpit, the hierarchy
filter values are only displayed if the dashboard contains a component from a semantic for which the hierarchy
has been defined.
