Moving objects in HANA then think Refactor

$

This document is prepared based on SAP HANA Version SPS05 Revision 47.


Is it possible to move objects from one package to other package or to move package itself?

The answer is yes, and it is done through Refactoring.


Definition: Restructuring the Content objects without changing their behavior is called Refactoring.

When we move the objects, their references will be adjusted accordingly.


Scenario 1: Moving the Attribute view (AT_V1) from the package, say “srk” to “ramesh”.


Select the Attribute view (AT_V1) from the package “srk”, right click and choose Refactor - > Move.

               SS01.JPG

Select the target package, for example “ramesh” and click Next.

                SS02.JPG

In the Summary window, Review and confirm the selection of object, and click Finish.

                SS03.JPG

Upon the successful completion of job, the Attribute view (AT_V1) will be moved from package “srk” to “ramesh”.

                  SS04.JPG

                   SS05.JPG

 

Scenario 2: Moving the package (vin) to another package (vinod).

 

Select the package “vin”, right click and choose Refactor - > Move

                    SS06.JPG

                   SS07.JPG

Choose the destination package, for example “vinod” and click Next.

                      SS08.JPG

Review and confirm the selection of objects, and click Finish.

                      SS09.JPG

Upon the successful completion of job, the package “vin” will become sub-package under the package “vinod”.

                        SS10.JPG

If required, we need to validate and Activate the objects.

 

Refactoring only applies to Content objects but not to Catalog, Security.

 

That's it we are done with Refactoring

 

Thank You.

Raj Kumar

                  SS04.JPG

                   SS05.JPG

 

Scenario 2: Moving the package (vin) to another package (vinod).

 

Select the package “vin”, right click and choose Refactor - > Move

                    SS06.JPG

                   SS07.JPG

Choose the destination package, for example “vinod” and click Next.

                      SS08.JPG

Review and confirm the selection of objects, and click Finish.

                      SS09.JPG

Upon the successful completion of job, the package “vin” will become sub-package under the package “vinod”.

If required, we need to validate and activate/Redeploy the objects.

                        SS10.JPG

Refactoring only applies to Content objects but NOT to Catalog, Security.

 

That's it we are done with Refactoring

 

Thank You.

How To: dynamic SQL without 'Dynamic SQL'

$
0
0

I've seen a few folks post on various forums asking how to implement dynamic query logic based on input parameters. As noted in many of these posts, so-called 'Dynamic SQL' is a potential solution, but results cannot (currently, not sure if this will change) be stored in a table variable, temp table, etc (at least not without additional logic at an application level, i.e. in Java, ABAP, etc)

 

One additional solution which might solve many of the use cases is fairly straightforward and easy to implement and doesn't required imperative logic. As long as the various desired queries can return the same fields in the same order and same data type, then they can indeed implement semi-dynamic filtering/sorting/grouping/table selection etc depending on input parameters.

 

Following is a simple example. Note that if the there are large number of desired queries based on a large number of inputs, this style of coding quickly becomes unmanageable - but for cases where there is a relatively low number of parameter values and queries, this should help:

 

DROP TABLE SMALLTAB;
CREATE COLUMN TABLE SMALLTAB (FIELD CHAR(1));
INSERT INTO SMALLTAB VALUES ('A');


 

DROP TABLE SMALLTAB2;
CREATE TABLE SMALLTAB2 (FIELD CHAR(1));
INSERT INTO SMALLTAB2 VALUES ('B');


 

DROP PROCEDURE SMALLPROC;
CREATE PROCEDURE SMALLPROC(IN var_in INTEGER) AS

BEGIN

       SELECT * FROM SMALLTAB WHERE :var_in = 1
      
       UNION ALL
      
       SELECT * FROM SMALLTAB2 WHERE :var_in = 2;

END;

 

CALL SMALLPROC(1); -- should return 'A' from table SMALLTAB
CALL SMALLPROC(2); -- should return 'B' from table SMALLTAB2

For the Country level local reporting, it is often required to report the Net sales in the Local currency. But for the Regional Head Quarter reporting, the Net Sales values need to be converted to the Regional currency. The same figure at the Global Head Quarter might be required in the Global currency.

 

For a company with the following Organization structure the Reporting might be required in different currencies as follows:

 

Office

Location

Reporting Currency

Global HQ

Germany

EUR

Regional HQ

US

USD

Country Office

Argentina

ARS

Country Office

Brazil

BRL

 

The reporting is generally defined by the Global IT team with the same report catering to users from Local Country, Regional Headquarters (HQ) and Global Headquarters (HQ). The users can be empowered to choose the Currency in which they would prefer to see the data.

 

While converting the Net Sales from one currency to other, different exchange rates might be applicable. Based on the nature of report and Functional area of the users, the Exchange rate could be Monthly / Yearly Actual or Budgeted. Also depending upon the time, the users may prefer to apply the exchange rate applicable this month, previous month, beginning of this year or even last year.

 

So the factors that define the Net Sales value depend upon:

  • Value in Local Currency
  • Target Currency
  • Exchange rate factor
  • Exchange rate Date

 

HANA provides an easy feature to implement the same in HANA Information models allowing the Business users full flexibility in the financial reporting.

 

For example, consider the organization selling products in multiple countries in the stores. The sales for the Products is captured in the local currency for the stores. Considering the above Organization structure, the data that could be captured for the Sales KPI might look like:

 

d_table_data.JPG

The reporting needs to provide the data in any currency based on the User input with user defined Exchange rate and appropriate Conversion date. Such dynamic currency Measure can be implemented in HANA Information models with the following settings for the Measure.

 

d_conv_settings.JPG

Some of the important settings can be explained as follows:

 

  • First and most important, define the measure like Net Sales of type "Amount with Currency"
  • In the detail settings for "Amount with Currency"
    • select the column which contains the Currency code value in Currency drop down
    • Ensure the "Enable for Currency" check box is "checked"
  • In the Conversion group:
    • The Source Currency is selected automatically as the column selected in the setting for Currency code drop down
    • Input Parameters can be defined for the User variables to accept the values for:
      • Target Currency to be converted to
      • Exchange Rate Type
      • Conversion Date for the Exchange Rate
    • Select the Schema which contains the Currency conversion tables like TCURR, TCURC, TCURX, TCURF, TCURT, TCURV.
    • Select the Client value defined in the Currency tables
  • The setting for "Upon Conversion Failure" to "Ignore" helps displaying the data in Local Currency by providing dummy value for the Conversion Rate. The dummy value causes to the conversion to Fail and the conversion process is "Ignored" displaying the original data in the table.

 

To display the data in Regional Currency USD with

  • Exchange rate for Regional HQ (RHQ)
  • Target Currency as USD
  • Exchange Conversion date as defined at the beginning of the year

 

SELECT   "C_COUNTRY"
, "C_SHOP"
, "C_PRODUCT"
, "C_SALES.CURRENCY"
, sum("C_SALES") AS "C_SALES" 
FROM "_SYS_BIC"."currconv/ZAV_CURR_CONV" 
( 'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$IP_TGT_CURR$$', 'USD')
, 'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$IP_EXCH_RATE$$', 'RHQ')
, 'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$IP_CONV_DATE$$', '2013-01-01')
) 
GROUP BY   "C_COUNTRY"
, "C_SHOP"
, "C_PRODUCT"
, "C_SALES.CURRENCY"
order by "C_SHOP", "C_PRODUCT";

 

The column "C_SALES.CURRENCY" displays the Converted Currency code.

 

d_table_data_TY_CURR_USD.JPG

The data can be shown in the Global HQ Currency with Last year Exchange rate for "What If" analysis as follows:

 

SELECT   "C_COUNTRY"
, "C_SHOP"
, "C_PRODUCT"
, "C_SALES.CURRENCY"
, sum("C_SALES") AS "C_SALES" 
FROM "_SYS_BIC"."currconv/ZAV_CURR_CONV" 
( 'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$IP_TGT_CURR$$', 'EUR')
, 'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$IP_EXCH_RATE$$', 'GHQ')
, 'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$IP_CONV_DATE$$', '2012-01-01')
) 
GROUP BY   "C_COUNTRY"
, "C_SHOP"
, "C_PRODUCT"
, "C_SALES.CURRENCY"
order by "C_SHOP", "C_PRODUCT";

 

d_table_data_LY_CURR1.JPG

To display the data in Local currency, just provide the Conversion Rate as any Dummy exchange rate which does not appear in the TCURR table.

 

SELECT   "C_COUNTRY"
, "C_SHOP"
, "C_PRODUCT"
, "C_SALES.CURRENCY"
, sum("C_SALES") AS "C_SALES" 
FROM "_SYS_BIC"."currconv/ZAV_CURR_CONV" 
( 'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$IP_TGT_CURR$$', 'EUR')
, 'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$IP_EXCH_RATE$$', 'LOCAL')  --- Please ensure that the Exchange rate does not appear in TCURR table
, 'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$IP_CONV_DATE$$', '2013-01-01')
) 
GROUP BY   "C_COUNTRY"
, "C_SHOP"
, "C_PRODUCT"
, "C_SALES.CURRENCY"
order by "C_SHOP", "C_PRODUCT";

 

Hope this helps in defining your Dynamic Currency Conversion Reporting.

Empower your business operations with process visibility and process-aware analytics when needed the most – in real time.

 

Overview

 

SAP Operational Process Intelligence powered by SAP HANA enables line-of-business users to gain process visibility across their end-to-end business processes with a clear focus, improving the operational decision making to achieve better business outcomes.

 

 

As we all know, end-to-end business processes can span multiple systems (SAP, non-SAP), can be either modeled (as in SAP Business Workflow and SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management) or built-in (as transaction or programmed in SAP Business Suite).

 

In addition, end-to-end processes can span between on-premise and on-demand systems. And at the same time deal with structured data as well as streaming data from social media feeds, internet of things (RFIDs, sensors etc.) and clickstreams.

 

In short, we have a variety of high volume and high velocity data from many sources – now’s the question: How can we make sense of all of this in our end-to-end processes in a focused and tailored way; provide business relevant information on performance, KPIs, trends and ensure process stays on track?

 

SAP Operational Process Intelligence powered by SAP HANA brings the answer.

 

Using the SAP HANA platform to correlate and contextualize operational data - i.e. data from implemented end-to-end processes (process logs, transaction logs, business object data etc.) into a business scenario, business users will be able to get the right information on their processes in real-time.

Avoiding missing ranges error while creating Decision Table

$
0
0

This document is prepared based on SAP HANA Version SPS05 Revision 47.

 

While creating the decision table we will specify Conditions and Actions.

If the conditions on an attribute are not specified in proper order then while validating, we get error.

 

In one of my previous documents I showed how to create decision table  and used conditions in an order such that while validating it should not throw any error. I would like to request you to go through my previous document, if you had not seen before. Click here

 

In Step 9 of that document, there is a screenshot with number 5 enclosed in a circle, where the condition on attribute (SAL) is in proper order and the same screenshot is pasted below.

                   CondActions in Order.JPG

Now let us change the second condition to SAL > 9001 as shown below and validate the decision table. Below is the result of validation

          ValError.JPG

The error is due to missing range found in second condition of SAL attribute.

What missing here is there is no condition for SAL = 9001 in the above two conditions.

 

While modeling for a requirement there is a chance that there will be no business rules for some of the scenarios and hence we can avoid those while creating decision table.

 

Actually while validating, in the background there are many validation rules which goes through and we can find those validation rules by navigating through Windows -> Preferences -> Expand Modeler -> Click Validation Rules.     ValRules.JPG 

We will observe that under Decision Table section, "Decision Table Check Consistency Rule" is checked. To avoid the validation error on missing range, uncheck this validation rule and click ok.

 

Now again validate our decision table and this time, status will be Completed Successfully.

Its just a small trick

 

Thank You.

SAP HANA One, currently available via Amazon Web Services (AWS), provides an instant deployment option that facilitates smaller SAP HANA projects and applications that are not easily accommodated by on-premise system procurement cycles. This cloud instance also means that users can turn SAP HANA on and off easily, allowing them to take advantage of it in their projects and to shut it off to save money when they no longer need it. In this piece, you'll learn more about SAP HANA One, its use cases, and how it differs from the SAP HANA on-premise platform.

Model names with mixed case

$
0
0

This document is prepared based on SAP HANA Version SPS05 Revision 47.

 

While creating the information views (Attribute/Analytic/Calculation) in the name field we will give the name of the view. By default it accepts the name in uppercase only, even your keyboard caps lock in on/off.

                       NameInCAP.JPG

 

Can we have the name of information view in mixed case (combination of both upper and/or lowercase)? As usual the answer is Yes but with small setting.

 

Go to menu Windows -> Preferences -> Expand Modeler -> Select Case Restriction.

By default the checkbox is ticked for "Model name in uppercase". This restricts the model to accept name in uppercase only irrespective of your keyboard caps lock is on/off.

                   CaseRestriction.JPG

To allow mixed or lowercase, uncheck this box, click apply and ok and try again naming your model. This time it accepts the way you type it.

                 MixedCase.JPG

Similarly it applies to naming Analytic privileges and Procedures.


For packages it always accept name in lowercase and for Decision Table always in uppercase only and no setting yet available to name in mixed case.

 

Thank You.

2. Database migration

2.1 Install SAP HANA

      SAP Note No. 1514967

2.2 Heterogeneous system copy

        --Before migration, implement the SAP Note 1775181 to preserve aggregates in SAP  APO             

          For more information, also see SAP Note 1822975.

       --SAP Note No. 178505

        --SAP HANA runs natively on Unicode only .If Source system is non Unicode so we        

            need to convert it to Unicode during database migration more information can be          

           found in sap note 1051576

       --Perform the following immediately after the migration and before post-migration

            activities: Information related to SAP BW post migration activities (compulsory)

2.3 CAUTION

          Do not start SAP BW before implementing these steps.

          Implement SAP Note 1695112. This SAP Note contains the document First guidance... BW   

           on HANA (ORANGE) Fresh Installation/Import - including unified Installer which describes   

          the steps you must carry out in detail.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Livecache

 

You have the following options to install SAP liveCache:

 

SAP liveCache is integrated in the SAP HANA database, so that SAP liveCache and SCM Server are running on the same database instance.

 

SCM Server is installed on the SAP HANA database, while SAP liveCache is installed on a separate (non-HANA) server using SAP MaxDB technology

liveCache is available to be deployed as a technical part of HANA DB from SCM 7.02, Version for HANA SP01.Migrating SCM to SAP HANA with integrated SAP HANA liveCache - 1825703

https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/18257033.1

p2.png

The following figure shows one deployment option for SAP Supply Chain Management. The ABAP stack runs on a SAP HANA database, while SAP liveCache and SCM Optimizer run outside of SAP HANA. In this option, SAP liveCache is installed as in all previous releases, as a separate instance, not on an SAP HANA database but on SAP MaxDB technology.

 

 

 

 

3.2

p3.png

The following figure shows another deployment option for SAP Supply Chain Management. The ABAP stack runs on an SAP HANA database, together with an integrated SAP liveCache, while SCM Optimizer runs outside of SAP HANA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following software components are either mandatory or optional for this deployment option, as indicated below.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. The following table shows which technical usages and assigned product instances are available with SAP enhancement package 2 for SAP SCM 7.0, version for SAP HANA:

p4.png

 

 

5. Limitation

 

5.1 Dual-stack split

As only ABAP components are enabled for SAP HANA, and dual-stack systems are not supported beyond Business Suite i2011, (see SAP Note 1655335) you cannot deploy a dual-stack system (with both ABAP and Java components running in the same system). If your SAP SCM system is currently implemented as a dual-stack system, you have to perform a split.For information on how to do a dual-stack split, see the following SAP Note 1686144

 

 

5.2 Solution Manager Implementation

For SAP enhancement package 2 for SAP SCM 7.0, version for SAP HANA, SAP does not provide SAP Solution Manager Implementation content. If you want to implement a new process or scenario using the SAP Solution Manager Implementation content, you can do so before implementing SAP enhancement package 2 for SAP SCM 7.0, version for SAP HANA


 

 

6. POST Installation task

 

 

6.1 Adjusting the Installation Path for SAP SCM Optimizer

 

In SAP SCM Optimizer 10.0, the default installation path has changed from APOOPT to SCMOPT. As opposed to older versions of SAP SCM Optimizer, where the default installation path was fixed, you can change this installation path as of SAP SCM Optimizer 10.0. The selected installation directory is later on referred to as <INST_DIR> in this guide.

Furthermore, all subdirectories have been deleted so that any SAP SCM Optimizer executables are extracted directly to the chosen installation directory.

This means that after you have updated your system from SAP enhancement package 2 for SAP SCM 7.0 to SAP enhancement package 2 for SAP SCM 7.0, version for SAP HANA, and installed SAP SCM Optimizer 10.0, you must adjust the installation paths in your ABAP application server where SCM is installed.

 

Procedure

To adjust the installation path, proceed as follows:

 

If you use a standalone gateway instance, start the gateway instance.

 

Log on to the ABAP application server.

 

Call transaction SM59. The Display and maintain RFC destinations screen appears.

 

Open the node TCP/IP connection.

 

Double-click each SAP SCM Optimizer destination name. The default SAP SCM Optimizer destination is called OPTSERVER_<Optimizer01>, but if you set up RFC connections for additional SAP SCM Optimizer servers, you must change the installation paths for these as well.

The RFC Destination OPTSERVER_Optimizer01 screen appears.

 

On the Technical Settings tab page, in the Program field, check your program path, and change it.


 

6.2 Migrationof SAP SCM to SAP HANA


To set up SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (SAP BW) when migrating the SAP SCM system to a SAP HANA database, proceed as follows:

Activate the myself source system in SAP BW (BW client) in transaction RSA1, under ModelingSource SystemsBWActivate.

Install the latest version of the following BI Content InfoObjects in transaction RSOR:

 

--0LANGU

 

---0HIENM

 

 

Run the report RS_BW_POST_MIGRATION

 

Run the report RSDU_TABLE_CONSISTENCY in background processing mode. For more information about executing the report, see SAP Note 1695778). During the first run, the report creates an analysis. If it finds errors, you must run the report a second time using the Repair option, also in background processing mode.

 

 

NOTE

Depending on the number of tables to be repaired, the report can take several hours to run


 

 

 

 

Important notes:

SAP Event Management and SAP Extended Warehouse Management are not

released for productive usage with this product version.

 

The productive usage of SAP Extended Warehouse Management within SAP

enhancement package 2 for SAP SCM 7.0, can be achieved by installing the

Add-On SAP EWM 9.0 SP04.

 

With SP01 a seperate SAP liveCache installation can optionally be

migrated into SAP HANA (note 1825703).

My Tables : Where used it is

$
0
0

This document is prepared based on version HANA 1.0 SPS 05 revision 46.

 

In HANA studio we have the cool feature to find out where our Information view (Attribute/Analytic/Calculation) is used by right clicking the view and selecting "Where-Used". It then shows type of view , Used-In which view, package name in a sub-window panel "Where-Used List".

 

But there is no similar feature to find the same for tables in a schema we use in modeling

In this document we will come to know how we can get the list.

 

There is a schema called "SRK" which has many tables and I use two tables "EMPLOYEE" and "DEPT" for simplicity to model information views.

Advanced readers can skip step 1 as you were already aware of this.

 

Step 1:

 

First let us create the Attribute view (AT_DEPT) which uses only single table "DEPT".

We create Analytic view (AN_USING_AT_DEPT) using the table "EMPLOYEE" in data foundation and use the Attribute view (AT_DEPT) in logical join.

 

Now let us use the feature "Where-Used" for Attribute view (AT_DEPT) by right clicking the view and selecting "Where-Used". It shows the result as attribute view is used in analytic view which contains in package 'srk'.

                  whereused1.JPG

 

Step 2:

 

Now we need to find where my particular table is used in which of the information views or procedures, etc.

We do not have similar where-Used functionality for tables. Let us try by just right click the table in the schema and we will not found.

                   whereused2.JPG

 

The alternate solution is to write SQL, querying from tables referring to repository.

 

Here is the simple SQL:

 

SELECT   BASE_SCHEMA_NAME, BASE_OBJECT_NAME,

         DEPENDENT_SCHEMA_NAME,DEPENDENT_OBJECT_NAME,DEPENDENT_OBJECT_TYPE

FROM     "SYS"."OBJECT_DEPENDENCIES"

WHERE   BASE_SCHEMA_NAME = 'SRK'           /*   <==  Schema Name    */

  AND   BASE_OBJECT_NAME = 'DEPT'          /*   <==  Table Name     */

;

 

 

This query will show the result we are looking for and also shows whether any procedures, synonyms, etc are using our table.

    whereused3.JPG

Based on DEPENDENT_OBJECT_TYPE, we can say whether it is used by view/procedure/synonym etc., and DEPENDENT_OBJECT_NAME gives its corresponding name. Package name can found in the DEPENDENT_OBJECT_NAME itself.

 

That's it we successfully got the where-used list for our specific tables

Might be in future release, we can expect this feature if someone can initiate this.

 

Thank You for your time.
