This course provides a comprehensive synthesis of the SAP HANA platform, detailing its core architecture, technological capabilities, and operational framework. SAP HANA (High-Performance Analytic Appliance) is an in-memory platform that integrates a database, advanced data modeling, system administration, and data provisioning into a single suite. Its primary innovation is the In-Memory Computing Engine (IMCE), which leverages a multi-core, distributed architecture and a hybrid row/columnar data storage model to process massive volumes of real-time data at speeds up to one million times faster than conventional disk-based databases.
Data modeling is a central pillar of the platform, utilizing Information Views—specifically Attribute, Analytic, and Calculation Views—to construct powerful, reusable business logic directly on the database layer. This approach minimizes data movement and maximizes performance. The system’s architecture is composed of several critical server components, with the Index Server acting as the core, responsible for all data storage, query processing (SQL/MDX), and transaction management.
SAP HANA features a robust, multi-layered security framework that includes granular user and role management, diverse authentication methods (e.g., Kerberos, SAML), and a sophisticated authorization model based on System, Object, Analytic, Package, and Application privileges. This allows for precise control over data access, including row- and column-level security within data models.
The platform supports multiple data replication methods—including trigger-based SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT), ETL-based SAP Data Services (BODS), and the Direct Extractor Connection (DXC)—to facilitate efficient data integration from various SAP and non-SAP source systems. For data consumption, SAP HANA integrates seamlessly with a wide array of Business Intelligence tools, such as the SAP BI Suite and Microsoft Excel, through both OLAP (MDX) and Relational (SQL) connections. The platform is managed via the SAP HANA Studio, an Eclipse-based environment providing comprehensive tools for administration, monitoring, modeling, backup, and recovery, ensuring high availability and system resilience.
SAP HANA Course is based on textbook learning material by Academy Europe.
