TRE ayThe Evolution of SAP HANA - Landscape Options
+ SAP HANA is an appliance to the application (e.g. SAP ERP).
+ Its major benefit is increasing performance of transactional
reporting for one system
+ SAP HANA replicates /loads data using SAP LT Replicator or
DataServices
+ SAP HANA, SPSS is the primary persistence for SAP NetWeaver
BW 7.3, SP5. iid
+ All features of SAP NetWeaver BW can and should be used with
‘SAP HANA, SPS3 Robs | ro
on HANA
+ .SAP HANA vision" is the next evolution step and replaces the DB
of the ERP system

Migration without reimplementation - no disruption of existing scenariosDataStore Objects in SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3
Overview and Challenge
DataStore Objects are fundamental building blocks Runtime Ratio
for a Data Warehouse architecture
» They are used to create consistent delta information
from various sources:
= Reporting can be done on a detailed level
+ In today's RDBMS-based implementation. the
activation and querying operations are extremely
performance-critical a

pretPlanned: In-Memory Optimized DataStore Objects
Accelerated Data Loads
In-Memory optimized DSOs
= Delta calculation completely integrated in HANA
= Using in-memory optimized data structures for
faster access
= No roundtrips to application server needed
» Speeding up data staging to DSOs by factor 5-10
» Avoids storage of redundant data
« After the upgrade to BW on HANA all DSOs-
remain unchanged
+ Tool support for converting standard DSOs into IN-
Memory DSOs planned
+ No changes of Datafiows requiredPlanned: In-Memory Optimized InfoCubes
Faster Data Loads and Easier Modeling
Traditional InfoCubes tailored to a relational DB consist
of 2 Fact Tables and the according Dimension tables
In-memory Optimized InfoCubes tailored to HANA represent
“fiat’ structures without Dimension tables and E tables
+ Upto 5 times faster data loads (Lab Resuits)
+ Creation of DIM Ids no longer required Conversion’New
= Simplified Data modeling
+ Faster remodeling of structural changes
+ After the upgrade to BWV7.3, SPS all InfoCubes remain unchanged
+ Tool support for converting standard InfoCubes
» Preliminary lab result: 250 Millon records in 4 minutes
No changes of processes, MultiProvider. Queries requiredPlanned: BW In-Memory Planning
Accelerated Planning Functions
Traditional Planning runs planning
functions in the App. Server
In-memory Planning runs all planning
functions in the SAP HANA platform:
» Performance boost for planning capabilities
like:
+ Aggregation, Disaggregation
= Conversions, Revaluation
* Copy, Delete, Set value, Repost, FOX
«= Performance boost for plan/actual analysis
+ No changes of planning models, planning
processes, MultiProvider, Queries required
