SAP Business Warehouse (BW) - #sapbw powered by HANA Data base helps speed up data analysis by consuming data via data ware house for analytical reporting and data analysis. With HANA, one can achieve real time reporting, data integration, data modelling with large amount of data.
SAP Business Warehouse (BW) being a powerful data analytics tools provides flexible master data and transaction data maintenance. With SAP HANA underneath the BW as a data base one can achieve high performance improvements with HANA- In-memory computing database.
HANA in-memory database is exceptionally faster when compared to any traditional data base like oracle, SQL server. It combines both ETL (Extraction, Transformation and Load) from BW and HANA in-memory computing engine to process huge volumes of data.
Benefits of HANA
In-memory processing to deliver faster data retrieval speed.
Disk-based storage is still enterprise standard and the price of RAM is steadily declined.
Column based storage provides data compression up to 10 times
Excellent performance of analytical reports.
On-the-fly aggregations.
No need of BWA index.
SAP HANA Studio
SAP HANA Studio is a Eclipse based tool. It provides environment for HANA administration, HANA information modelling, and HANA data provisioning. In the SAP Software Download Center, you have access to the installation media and components for SAP HANA.
When SAP BW is powered by HANA, all the objects, tasks created are optimised and they produce excellent analytical reports.
All the below SAP BW key activities are optimised:
HANA-Optimised Data Modelling: InfoCubes
HANA-Optimised Data Modelling: Advanced DataStore Objects
HANA-Optimised Data Modelling: Composite Providers
HANA-Optimised Data Staging
HANA-Optimised Analytic Manager
HANA-Optimised Analysis Processes
SAP HANA Studio provides a development platform for:
SAP BW Modeling
Creation of Info objects, Info Area, Application Component, ADSO, etc
SAP Native HANA Modelling
Creation of Calculation views, Analytic View, CDS etc
LSA and LSA ++
In SAP BW, LSA Architecture makes the data model robust, flexible and scalable solution to enterprise data warehouse solution.
The LSA Framework comprises
Data delivery
Data modelling
Data staging
Authorisations
Solution delivery
When BW is implemented on SAP HANA, you can create a different LSA which is more dependent on virtual objects. This is known as LSA++ and it consists of three key layers −
Open Operation Data Store Layer
Data Acquisition point
Core Data Warehouse Layer
Data Transformation point
Virtual Data Mart Layer
Integrate and Combine the data
I have worked on several implementation and enhancements projects both on SAP BW and BW on HANA.
