The 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 , SPS3 is the primary persistence for SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3, SP5. All features of SAP NetWeaver BW can and should be used with SAP HANA , SPS3 SAP HANA vision is the next evolution step and replaces the DB of the ERP system

Why we need In-Memory?

Business Challenges of a reporting environment
requests
sends report
Business User
refinement required sends report again
IT
Business users require

IT departments require

Up to date accurate information Get insight from the large volumes of information Be able to navigate and explore information to get what I need (self service) Simulate scenarios and discover trends (ad-hoc analysis) React faster to events impacting my operations
Providing a landscape for real time reporting An architecture that scales to my business needs Access to data in a more detailed level Bring in a technology to fulfill new business requirements Reduce cost and time to implement new requirements

Why NOW In-Memory

Orchestrating Technology Innovations
Hardware-Innovations
Multi-Core Architecture
(8 x 10 core CPU per Server)
Software-Innovations
Massive parallel scaling with
many nodes
Row and Column Store
64bit address-space 2TB
Compression
in current servers
No aggregates neccessary
Prices for RAM are
decreasing

Shift of Paradigm
Impact for applications
Classical Approach
Calculation
Application Layer
Current applications perform many dataintense operations in the application layer High performance applications delegate data-intense operations to the in-memory platform

SAP NetWeaver BW7.3 powered by SAP HANA

Added Value
Accelerated performance
Excellent query performance as proven with BWA Accelerated In-Memory planning capabilities Performance boost for ETL processes
Simplified administration and infrastructure

DB and BWA merging in one instance for lower TCO Simplified administration via one set of admin tools e.g. for Data Recovery and High Availability Column based storage with highly compression rates and significantly less data to be materialized No special efforts to guarantee fast reporting on any DB object Simplified data modeling and reduced materialized layers Speed Integrated and embedded flexibility for Data Marts

Advantages of SAP BW powered by HANA

Difference between SAP BW on HANA vs. BW on xDB

SAP NetWeaver BW 7.x on xDB

Database server and BWA server Standard DataStore Objects Standard InfoCubes BW Integrated Planning SAP HANA Data Marts running side-by-side
SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3, SP5 on HANA

One SAP HANA In-Memory platform SAP HANA-optimized DataStore Objects SAP HANA-optimized InfoCubes In-Memory planning engine Consumption of SAP HANA models BW staging from SAP HANA
Migration without new implementation No disruption of existion szenarios!

Current Situation
SAP BW DataStoreObject (DSO)
DataStore Objects are fundamental building blocks 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

Activation
Parallel Upload

SAP HANA optimized DSO

Faster Activation
In-Memory optimized DSOs Delta calculation completely integrated in HANA
Speeding up data staging to DSOs by factor 5-10 Avoids storage of redundant data (CalcView instead of change log)

In-Memory
After the upgrade to BW on HANA all DSOs remain unchanged

Tool support for converting standard DSOs into IN-Memory DSOs
Using in-memory optimized data structures for faster access

In-Memory Planning
Simple Disaggregation Example
user changes a plan value
Traditional Approach
1. Determine the delta +50 2. Disaggregate (in application server)
per week (52) per branch (500) 26000 combinations / values
HANA-Based Approach
1. Determine the delta +50 2. Send 1 value to HANA database + instruction to disaggregate and how 3. Disaggregate (in HANA engine)
per week (52) per branch (500)
3. Send 26000 values to DB to save
create + save 26000 values

Prerequisites for Migration to BW powered by HANA
NetWeaver BW 7.30 SP6 (minimum SP5); HANA 1.0 SP3 Separation of the Java Stack prior to the Upgrade of the ABAP Backend, if not already done The new BI Authorization concept is now mandatory. Despite the fact that you either create a 7.0x System beforehand to migrate the old BW Authorization, a potential Upgrade from BW 3.5 to 7.30 would be possible. The following source databases are supported for database migration:
Oracle 11.2 IBM DB2 LUW 9.7 MaxDB 7.8 MS SQL Server 2008 DB2 for i61, 7.1 DB2 for z/OS V9, V19

Summary
Overview Why in-Memory? Large data volume Real-time data Simulation scenarios Conclusion: faster reaction time and possibility for new business requirements SAP BW powered by HANA and its benefits In-Memory optimized objects for much better performance (activation/loading and reporting) Simplified InfoCube Calculations for planning on the in-memory plattform Conclusion: reduction timeframe of data loading and much better reporting/planning performance Modeling opportunities Combination of agile and architected data marts Simplified layered architecture (LSA) Conclusion: more flexibility and less data redundancies Project approach Full migration of existing SAP BW (DB migration) New installation and partial transport of existing data models Conclusion: Different project approaches depending on customers requirements
