SAP HANA Live – Real World Example

3 minutes

Having seen many a presentation and screenshot from lab based

examples of SAP HANA Live queries, I thought I’d share something
from the ‘real world’. The query itself is pretty straight forward and
is part of the standard SHAL delivery (BillingDocumentQuery), so
no extensions or changes, just out of the box. However, the
information provided by the query has an impact far larger than just
a list of billing documents!

Lets explain the volumes first:

VBPA – 1 billion

VBRK – 55 million

VBUK – 80 million

…there are more tables but the data volume is not really significant
when compared to the 3 biggest tables.

SHAL use case is ‘side-by-side’ so HANA is not a primary database

in this scenario.

So lets throw a Month End related question at the query, something

like ‘give me all the failed Billing documents due to an error in the
accounting interface…by billing document number’. This is done
with only one filter which is the client, so no sales org, no dates…no
key fields!!

The example below was recorded in real-time using manual

navigation (on a track-pad ), with a total execution time from login
to result of 45 seconds!!

(ignore the credits as this is something that YouTube inserts…)

The result is rather amazing!

Average response time is below 8 seconds (something that I

understand was a benchmark set by Hasso).

The impact on the user interaction is obvious i.e. no background

jobs that are forgotten about letting the issue grow till the last days
of month end close.

Errors can now be identified and resolved well before they cause
true issues.

Aggregated view across the whole system irrespective of

timeframe…who knew there were errors still showing in 2006!!!

I will not get into the real-time KPI/Analytic opportunities provided

by this single query, as that is something for another blog, but you
can see the possibilities and apply to your own requirements.

The test was done on a ‘pre-prod system’ with volumes

representative of production. I hope to have productive usage by
next week!
