I have a Custom Fiscal Calendar table that contains
following:

                  Date,Fiscal Year, Fiscal, Qtr, Fiscal Period, Fiscal Week,  and Fiscal_Year_Week.

I need to create an analytical/calculation view where data is filtered by current and previous fiscal_year_week when the data is retrieved.

For example, today is 08/28/2013 which is fiscal year week of 201335, so I need to filter my data where Fiscal_Year_Week in(201334 and 201335)

The issue is I don’t have anything that tells me what current fiscal_year_week is other than querying the table with date = today() then get the fiscal week year from the record, then subtract 1 for previous week.

I know I can do this by using sql script, but is there any way I can achieve what I need in graphical view?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks!

Hi folks,

I'm looking at the SQL behind some of our larger tables replicated from SAP and see some have extra concatenated attributes similar to this;

ALTER TABLE "OURSCHEMA"."MSEG" WITH PARAMETERS ('CONCAT_ATTRIBUTE'=('$LGORT$MATNR$WERKS$',

          'LGORT',

          'MATNR',

          'WERKS'))

Does anybody have any further documentation about this, why it exists exactly and what the benefits are?  At first I thought it was simply a concatenation of KEY fields (and most indeed are) but some of the fields being concatenated are not KEYS.  Some of these concatenated attributes seem like common ways I might want to join to other tables so I wonder why they wouldn't just all be KEY fields to begin with as well.  So I'm wondering the logic behind this and if SAP has pre-chosen all of these combinations.  The other reason I'm asking is I was told by SAP in the past, when looking into huge memory consumption issues for BSEG for example - ie: noticed in some cases record count growth did not directly tie to memory consumption growth) that some additional memory is required for concatenated attributes.  So I just want to understand this better and can not find any documentation anywhere on this.  I noticed some very old SQL Script guides (HANA SPS 01!) had very vague examples of CONCAT_ATTRIBUTE but it was removed in later documentation.

Thanks for any information you may have on this subject,

Hi folks,

I'm trying to read comments from specific table fields or the table itself via SQL editor in studio.  For example I know I can easily add a comment to a field like this;

COMMENT ON TABLE "MYSCHEMA"."LFM2" is 'Vendor Master Record: Purchasing Data'

COMMENT ON COLUMN "MYSCHEMA"."LFM2"."MANDT" is 'Client'

Now what is the syntax to READ these comment values via SQL editor?

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

We are having a BW on HANA System which is copy of our Production system. We upgraded BW 7.0 to BW 7.3 SP5 and than we have migrated DB from Oracle to HANA. Now system is handed over to check whether everything works well or not.

Can anyone list down or send the steps needs to follow in sequence to check if everything is fine after BW upgrade and DB Migration ?

Appreciate all your help in advance.

Hi,

I am SAP BO consultant.Currently in the market SAP BI-BO has good demand, but in future( May be after 2 years) SAP HANA has a good demand.

In SAP HANA  SAP R/3 data directly replicate to HANA using Sybase replicate server and  SAP BI sources & Non SAP Data sources  should be transformed to SAP HANA using  BODS.

In BW 7.3 the DS 4.0 was tightly integrated.

Please guide me which module should i learn,  SAP BW 7.3 with BO 4.0 or SAP HANA with BO DS 4.0 & BO 4.0.

Thanks & Regards,

Rajesh.

Hi,

We have HANA SPS6 (rev 60). What do I need to do to be able to use the two new development tools? (E.g. I don't have the sap/hana/xs/editor package after the installation.)

Hello,

I need to dynamically provision Schema/Catalog, load data, analyze data, generate reports and drop the catalogs/schema from the server. 

I got a schema called "MasterCatalog" having 10 tables (most of them are empty), 3 views and 10 stored procedures. 

Now I want to copy the tables and procedures from MasterCatalog to newly created (empty) schema problematically.

First I create an empty schema using "CREATE SCHEMA" statement. Then copy the objects from master catalog to newly created schema.

For that, I tried Export & Import SQL commands. Using export command, i tried to export SQL objects onto a local server folder then tried to import the objects into newly created schema.

But it is trying to import SQL objects into the same source schema. There is no provision to specify the target schema on Import statement.

Any idea how to copy objects from one schema to another schema on the same server?

Regards,

TK

Hello,

We have built 2 write optimized DSOs in BW7.3 on HANA.

Now i can see DSO tables in HANA DB under BW user schema and we need to do modeling with these DSO tables in HANA modeler.

Questions:

1. Under BW user schema i can see DSO active tables, after opening the table the Execute(F8) button is in disabled mode, how to enable this execute button-does it require any additional previleges. How to see the data content for DSO table in HANA studio?

2. Can we use DSO tables for HANA views modeling --> Creating Attribute, Analytic and Calculation view?

3. To use these BW-HANA models in BO, any special configuration to be done in HANA?

Thanks,

Hello HANA Community,

I ask for your help. Our requirement is to upload several CSV files (up to 170) to already existing tables in HANA

I have unterstood how this works with just one file and tested this also successfully with the help of the following link

http://help.sap.com/hana/html/sql_import_from.html

Now I am woundering how I can do this with serveral CSV files in one step. My first idea was to use SQL Script but the SQL statement IMPORT is not valid in a script.

As we need this solution for a pilot phase we cannot enable this by SLT or other available tools.

Thanks in advance.

best regards,

Axel

Hello there, experts.

I am trying to make an XS project in HANA which will use some of the classes and methods that can be found in a .jar file (it is an external library).

After input (CSV file) these classes and methods will do some calculations and present it to the user in UI (done in .xsjs file).

The question is: how do I access methods and classes of that .jar file? I have registered it as an external library, but I have no idea how to call it from my XS javascript source file. What is the easiest way?

Can you please help?

Thank you

Hi,

I'm totally new to the world of SAP. I have worked in "IT Applications Support & Maintenance" for 10 years and now looking to learn something new and exciting. Among the latest technologies I researched about, SAP HANA seems to take the lead. It would be of great help if someone can answer my queries below:

1. Can someone like me with absolutely no experience on SAP be able to learn HANA and land in a job? I know it'll be hard but please tell me it is not close to impossible.

2. These are the two courses I'm interested in (and also needed before appearing for an Associate Certification).

a. HA100 SAP HANA Introduction

b. HA200 SAP HANA - Installation & Administration.

3. There are E-Learning modules for the above two courses. Can I just learn with e-learning and not do any classroom training? At this point of time, I may not be able to afford classroom training.

4. If I go ahead with E-Learning, will I need a high-spec laptop/desktop to install and play with HANA? Or will a standard home laptop be good enough?

Many Thanks

Hi,

Currently we are using merge statement for update else insert. but can we use MD5 hash for generating Primary KEY(With the help of multiple column values). Does HANA support MD5?

Actually I need to match a single solumn isntead of multiple for update else insert. Also dont want to create Composite Primary Key.

Please provide a solution

Hi,

I was going through a document on high-availability of HANA systems and I came across the following,

My question is, what does the shared storage mean here? Is it an external back-up location that is shared across the servers or is it the disk storage of the servers that is being shared?

Thanks,

Benedict
