SAP BW Extractor (DataSource) Based on HANA Model - Procedure (1)

The blog discusses how to load data from HANA models and database procedures into BW DataSources, emphasizing the importance of applying data-intensive logic in the database layer. It highlights the use of calculation views with input parameters for handling large tables and the necessity of persisting data in BW for reporting and master data purposes. The author outlines various methods for consuming HANA models in BW, particularly in hybrid data models involving both BW and HANA schemas.

Apply all data intensive logic in database layer and only store

the result in BW .

In this blog, I would discuss how can we load data from HANA
models/Database Procedure to BW DataSource based on Function Module.

You have a HANA model which gives you every day snapshot of open order /
delivered order in real time . You want to store the data somewhere to see trend
over time. Reporting security is implemented in BW side and you want to reuse
that .You also want to use Master Data / Text available in BW .

You have BW on HANA and HANA native in same database , and there is
hybrid data model which uses data from both BW Schema and HANA native
schema. If the tables are small , you might pull the data by some way and
build your model in BW . However, if the tables are big and requirement is
not straight forward, a calculation view can be handy and comes with great
performance benefit by using Input Parameter. We can also model very
complex requirement by using stored procedure or Script Based Calcuation
view. But , for some reasons we want data to be persisted in BW , like
business wants Key and Text side by side for variable help values which still
does not work well in native HANA .

In our case, we have two large tables ( ~ 1 B records ) , one in BW Schema


, another in HANA schema along with some moderate size tables. I need to
build a data model on top of these tables to get the output and then store it
for some time . Because of the data volume, I created Calculation View with
Input Parameter to filter these two big tables as early as possible before
implementing business logic. Now, for the above mentioned reasons, I want
to store the data in BW DSO and then have a BEx query on top of it.

There are multiple ways how HANA models can be consumed in BW , viz.
