Q & A Session

Vijay Non-cummulative keyfigure/Models how are we going to work from conversion point from bwon hana to
bw4hana
Is there is a possibility to check lineage in multiple calc. views for finding the table using the specific
field/formula/calculation
How can we leverage the abilities of SAP HANA while we are working with virutal table using SDI/SDA

Lineage

Approach 1 Regular Expression on 'Active_Object' XML.

Substring_regexp (fIELD NAME, inPUT_PARAMETER)
Build a CV on this.
Approach 2

Approach 3 Table as input

All the artifacts where table is being used as Output

How to activate the BW/4HANA Cockpit

2 Methods to activate BW/4 Cockpit

Needs
SICF Services (HTTP)
Odata Services
Profile Parameters

1 Tasklists SAP_BW4_LAUNCHPAD_SETUP Tcode: STC01

2 Pgm BW4_UI5_IFC_CONSISTENCY

We have to first run a program to check which services are inactive:

PGM BW4_UI5_IFC_CONSISTENCY

Results example:

Check the warnings (Yellow): These services are inactive in your system.
We need to activate them via SICF tcode.

Example of activating service via SICF:

Provide the path and service name: the service will be greyed out since it's inactive

Batch_2 Page 5
From the context menu (right click), select 'Activate service:

Once all services are activated, run the consistency check again and this time it should provide a message - 'All services are
active' :

Batch_2 Page 6
Now you need to log off (Close Project) and log back in (Open project and double click to login), for the change to take effect.

Now, we have 2 ways to verify:

1. From the context menu of the project, you should get an option to open the 'BW/4HANA Cockpit':

2. You can also click on the option on the top menu bar:

This option will ask you choose the project and it'll list only those projects (connections) which has all services
activated.

Both option should now be successfully launching the BW/4HANA Cockpit.

If you have any Odata service missing then you need to add that service via a different path:

SPRO->SAP Gateway->Odata Channel->Administration->General Settings->Activate and Maintain Services

There you need to add the service:

Once you click on the service name listed, you need to assign package and then click ok...the message that service is
successfully added, will be displayed.
Voila!...this is how you activate the Odata services and make that beautiful BW/4H Cockpit work!

HANA Nodes and Purpose

Projection Selecting subset of column for the list of columns

Union Combining 2 tables with similar structure.

E.g. Actuals + Plan

Assignment: HANA UNION Node is a UNION or UNION_ALL?

Join Combining 2 tables with different structure but one

Or more common column
E.g. We have ID in one column and we need text from
another column.

Rank Top N records based on a condition.

E.g. Need top 10 customer for each Year based on
Sales Qty

Aggregation Sum the measures (Sum, Min, Max)

HANA DB Stored Procedures

What is a HANA Stored ▪ Used to combine multiple SQL statements which needs to be run regularly.
Procedure ▪ Is a repository object - meaning will be accessible via 'Development Perspective' only.
▪ Can be used in SQL console.
▪ Allows for complex coding and statements like INSERT, UPDATE, TRUNCATE etc.
▪ File gets created with extension - '.hdbprocedure'.
▪ Used in XS Job to scheduling.

Purpose 1 Automating the SQL Statements.

FULL Load (Truncate and Reload)
Delta Load (Column identify the delta - Date/Timestamp)
Purpose 2 To populate the Input Parameters of a CV
Types 1. Catalog
2. Repository

Read-Only
Read-Write
Method to automate the DB XSC Jobs
procedure
Description: Name of your Job
Action: Name of your DB Procedure
Schedule: Frequency of runs (Daily/hourly/Mon-Wed/Monthly)
Desc
XSCRON - 7* (* * * * * * * ) = (Y M D DayofWeek Hour Min Sec)
Parameters

XS Job

URL Now we need to access to XS Engine with the URL http://<XSengine-host><XS-port>/sap/hana/xs/admin/

Activate XS Job It is required to enable the XS engine scheduler for scheduled backups configured on SAP HANA Cockpit .
Scheduler ▪ Logon on SAP Hana Studio.
▪ Browse to the configuration tab.
▪ Open the xsengine.ini and add or configure the value for scheduler as shown below.

▪ Scheduler parameter might not be visible in many cases. For that case kindly add the parameter manually, either directly
from HANA Studio or by the following SQL command:
ALTER SYSTEM ALTER configuration ('xsengine.ini','SYSTEM') SET ('scheduler','enabled')= 'true' WITH
reconfigure;

XS Job Tables Schema: _SYS_XS

Tables:
_SYS_XS.JOBS;
_SYS_XS.JOB_SCHEDULES;
_SYS_XS.JOB_LOG;
