HANA is an in-memory database that allows for real-time processing of large quantities of data. It provides immediate results for analytics and transactions. HANA can power various SAP applications and includes tools for data management, security, and operations. SAP's roadmap is to use HANA as the primary data store for its Business Warehouse product and develop new applications that leverage HANA's capabilities. Dell offers HANA solutions using its PowerEdge servers with SAP software preinstalled along with consulting services.
The material was created around 2010-end, but published February'2011.
The main purposes of creating this document were as follows:
- very very few people working on SAP HANA at that time
- information regarding SAP HANA not really available and if available, it was scattered !!
- always pulled for presentations and technical demos which generally hampered my own hands-on work :). And I was alone at San Jose whereas Ulrich used to busy in Walldorf coordinating with SAP.
BTW, it was my full-fledged first SAP HANA presentation in end of 2010, although published in 2011. The document is quite old now but most of the part still holds good as of today.
The document discusses SAP's in-memory computing offerings using SAP HANA. It provides an overview of SAP HANA's technology and benefits, including its portfolio of solutions, products that use the in-memory database, and next generation applications. Examples of customer implementations are also presented.
1) SAP's strategy focuses on 5 market segments powered by its in-memory platform SAP HANA - applications, analytics, mobile, cloud, and database & technology.
2) SAP HANA allows for an undivided view of information, real-time execution of processes by keeping operational and analytical data together.
3) SAP HANA brings transactions and analytics together in memory for low latency computing, providing a real-time platform for applications.

With the introduction of SAP HANA, what
was once just a possibility now becomes a
reality. This next generation of SAP’s
in-memory technology provides a
multipurpose, in-memory appliance, giving
organizations the power to gain instant
insight into business operations while
enabling them to react quickly to changing
business conditions. SAP HANA lets
business users immediately access, model
and analyze all of their transactional and
analytical data in real-time – from virtually
any data source – and in a single
environment, without affecting existing
applications or systems.
The document discusses SAP HANA, a real-time data platform developed by SAP and Intel over six years. Key points:
- HANA stores all data in memory for real-time analysis without copying or moving data. This allows for queries on billions of records and multi-modal analysis.
- HANA provides up to 1000x faster analysis and processing speed compared to disk-based systems, with 6-1 lower total cost of ownership and operating costs reduced by 30-40%.
- The in-memory platform supports various analysis types including predictive, geospatial, text, and graph/link analysis. It has been adopted by over 6400 customers across various use cases for faster, more advanced
This document provides an overview of SAP HANA 1.0 with SPS 10. It describes SAP HANA as an in-memory database that stores all data in RAM for fast real-time analytics on massive data. It discusses why companies choose SAP HANA for its speed, agility, ability to handle any data type, and support for next-generation applications. The document also outlines common use cases, roles, prerequisites, and certifications for SAP HANA.
Complex Event Processing (CEP) analyzes streams of event data to identify patterns and derive meaningful information. CEP allows for real-time situational awareness, immediate response, and better decision making using continuous intelligence. The Sybase Event Stream Processor is a CEP engine that can process unlimited input streams at high speeds with low latency. It is used for applications like fraud detection, system automation based on real-time conditions, streaming analytics, and continuous intelligence for better decisions.
SAP HANA is an in-memory database that allows for real-time processing of large amounts of data. It uses both columnar data storage and in-memory processing to improve performance. The traditional challenges of slow response times and complex database landscapes are addressed by SAP HANA's hardware and software innovations that place data processing directly in memory. SAP HANA Studio is the development and administration tool used to manage and model data in the SAP HANA database.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

40. Acceleration of Selection Step
• Materials have to selected by plant and by status in CKMLPP from
millions of entries. It is difficult to achieve good performance with
the CKMLPP keys.
• When CKMLPP can be read from HANA the step can be
accelerated by a factor of 3 in a typical customer case
• There are 2 variants
• Asynchronous replication: CKMLPP will be replicated / HANA by a
designated program
• Ongoing replication via the LT replicator
• The first variant will be used as a start. In the long run he
synchronous replication makes much more sense, because
otherwise the replication step will add a new step in the period
end closing process.
To be replicated: CKMLPP
41. Acceleration of Posting Step
• Performance tests showed that the post closing step spends a
large amount of the runtime reading ML documents that were
written in the previous steps of the settlement. Join on MLIT x
MLPP x MLHD (> 50% of Runtime)
• Reading from HANA accelerated the step by a factor of 2 to 3.
To be replicated: MLHD, MLPP, MLIT

Editor's Notes
[Talk track:]Organizations are dealing with a “Big Data” trend characterized by increasing volumes of data from enterprise systems, mobile phones, web and social platforms, the variety of data, especially the growth of unstructured data and the velocity by which it needs to be processed and presented for business decision making on the most appropriate device. It is estimated that 4 Exabytes of unique information will be generated this year; that is more than the previous 5,000 years. Social platforms like Facebook, Google and Twitter have over 600 million users, many interacting with products and services. The total number of people, especially consumers, with access to mobile devices exceeds the number of people with access to clean drinking water. The value to an organization in addressing these business trends is enormous considering that data is a company’s most strategic asset. At the same time, the speed at which business must make relevant decisions is shrinking. What if you could take a process that takes a week and shrink it so that it only takes an hour?What if you could take an activity which takes an hour and shrink it so it only takes a second?What if every employee can plan and work with instant answers to complex questions?What if you could explore data and make decisions on data that reflects the current state of your business? (no more delays between recording and availability of data for analysis)What if you could analyze information about your each and every customers, products, suppliers, partners to gain insight into key indicators such as profitability, spend and quality?Imagine how you could use this insight to steer and guide your business processes for e.g. for new products or service offeringsToday we are going to talk about a technology that does exactly that – SAP in Memory Computing Technology(IMCT) and how IMCT will change your business.Time is …? Money, that is correct. Business today can be painfully slow. Decisions take too long AND is usually based on outdated, aggregated dataIt takes too long to get present and possible future state of information to the people who need Hence business seems to be increasingly dealing with emergencies and rationalizing outcomes rather than making confident fact-based decisionsIT is spending increasingly more of its time and budget maintaining and replicating and aggregating data into data warehouses which are designed for yesterdays questions. Hence IT realizes that in order to deal with the increased complexity and volume of data analysis it needs to figure out how it can provide fast, flexible and detail data to answer any question-SAP offers in-memory computing that delivers groundbreaking innovations in hardware and software so that massive volumes of data can be instantly and cost-effectively managed and analyzed. It enables IT to combine rapid database transactions with real-time data analytics to dramatically improve existing business processes and enable a new breed of innovative solutions.
SE16H Access tables in ERP DB and HANA DBPerform Adhoc queriesUse aggregation functionsUse JOINsCompare runtimes between ERP DB and HANA DB15 Mio items from 3 different databasetables in 2 different DBs in 2 seconds !
No change to the existing report definitionsAdditional drilldowns are now possible e.g. by customer and article (not feasible before)Drilldown performance not dependent on availability of suitable aggregation level, selection always on line item level from In-Memory DatabaseExisting ERP reports are accelerated with no changes to report definitions
EBIT: initial selection 280 seconds (or 4,5 minutes) > 7 secondsDrill down by customer and article 620 seconds (10 minutes) > 5 secondsGet rid of pre-prepared aggregation levels (less data in the data base, no work for administrator)Go deeper than could technically go before.Cost allocation by reference data (nearly a minute)Drill down (4 minute to 7 seconds)
Line items. SAP has 300 millon. In current system, select via key fields such as cost center and order, ok. Select via vendor or personnel number a disaster. SAP reconciling COEP with FI-GL via functional area – high level classification for cost of goods sold reporting.
Drill-down. KKML0 – no solution. Accelerated material price analysis - buying peanuts using them to make peanut butter.BOBJ reporting – use of virtual info provider to read data from HANA but give interface to consume in Crystal, Dashboards etcCosting run. SLA -> 8 hours to load to BW.
CKM3Reporting only possible on a single materialDrilldown to document level very slowKKML0Reporting possible for multiple materialsDrilldown to detail level is fast
What is a Virtual InfoProvider?Virtual infoproviders are BW objects which are defined in ERP via transaction RSA1 (embedded BW). The InfoProvider consists of:- InfoObjects which describe the characteristics and key figures (like data elements)- An ABAP function module which is called in ERP to read the dataInfoObjects and InfoProviders are generated via an ABAP program based on the structures of the reporting tables FCML_MATFCML_REPFCML_CCS_REPFCML_ALTFCML_PROC
CKMLHD, MLHD, MLIT and MLPP to HANA via LT Replicator (or replication program)Only (relatively) small changes in ABAP programs were needed.Only a small amount of tables need to be replicated into HANA.
