SAP HANA Studio View EditorNew capabilities and enhancements in the SAP HANA Studio View Editor


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling EnhancementsCalculation View Enhancements – Multitenant data sources

Enhanced Multitenant data sources support Multitenant database container tables as data sources for

Calculation Views introduced with SAP HANA SPS10 New support for remote Calculation Views

as data sources within Calculation Views– Re-use of Calculation Views across multitenant database

containers, providing fastest cross-tenant database connectivity using SAP HANA Views

Note, present constraints to be considered– Remote Script-based calculation Views or remote

Table Function are not directly supported as– Remote Calculation Views as Dimensions within

StarJoin-Calculation Views, cannot directly be referenced.

Search for View in remote tenant

Note, the database schema mapping is also applied to remote calculation view data sources.


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – Join Enhancements

Join Enhancements in Calculation Views Referential Join

– Now supported in standard joins nodes (no longer restricted to star join nodes anymore)

Full Outer Joins– Now supported in standard joins nodes – Restricted support with StarJoin nodes,

constrained to one dimension view only.


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – Join Enhancements

Join Enhancements in Calculation Views Special join-types usage within StarJoin

– Full Outer-/Right Outer-Join are supported within StarJoin-nodes, but constrained to one dimension view only.

– The Shared Dimension-View in the StarJoin-node related with a full outer- or right outer-condition has to be the “last” View in the StarJoin-nodeo The respective DIM-View can be moved down to the last position

– A Calculation View validation rule will validate the scenario.

The last / lowest Dimension-View in the Start Join node.Here CVDIM_Products

Example scenarioFor the products dimension, you want to ensure also dimension values unassociated with facts shall be included in queries results.


Union-Node Enhancements in Calculation Views Enhanced implicit Union-Node pruning support

– The database optimizer will prune the Union-data sources based on the query and meta information provided in a pruning configuration table

– The pruning configuration table contains value patterns, which provide column value-based pruning information related to the input sources

– Debug and trace tools, e.g. explain plan will show the pruned data source access pattern

Union node to be pruned

Union pruning configuration tableExplain plan shows only table SO_CurrentYear has been accessed

SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – Union (Pruning) Enhancements


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – Union (Pruning) Enhancements

Union-Node enhanced implicit pruning Union pruning configuration table

– All columns must be of type VARCHAR or NVARCHAR only.SCHEMA: Name of the schema that contains the calculation viewCALC_SCENARIO: Name of the calculation view in the format package/view-nameINPUT: Name of the data source in the union node.COLUMN: Target column name, where the filter condition shall applyOPTION: Operator. The following operations are allowed. (=, <, >, <=, >=, BETWEEN)LOW_VALUE contains the comparison value for =, <, >, <=, >= or the low value for

BETWEENHIGH_VALUE: contains the high value for BETWEEN

– Note: The following rules apply for complex filter conditionsDifferent entries of the same column will be combined by OR.The resulting entries of the different columns will be combined by AND.The BETWEEN operator is a closed interval

Union pruning configuration table

The above example is an equivalent to the pruning pattern for input source “u” as

('2000' <= C1 <= '2005' OR C1 = '2008') AND

(C2 < '1998' OR C2 > '2005')


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – New Aggregation Functions

New Aggregation Functions Support for new aggregation functions average,

standard deviation, variance in calculation view aggregation-types nodes– Is not recommended to use in stacked scenarios– A default validation rule is issuing a Warning message

if used in stacked scenarios


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – Transparent Filter Flag

Transparent Filter Flag incl. in column propagation The Transparent Filter will omit columns from unnecessarily

being used as part of aggregations (group by) This Flag is required when using …

– Queries on multi-node Calculation Views, where the queries contain filters on columns that shall not be projected into lower aggregation nodes or stacked views scenarios where the lower views have count distinct measures

– Was required to explicitly specify oneach node

Now Transparent Filter Flag is propagated to semantics along with column itself


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – Hierarchies

Hierarchy Enhancements Cycle handling in user-defined hierarchies

– User defined parent-child hierarchies may have to handle cyclic relationship, depending on the processed hierarchy input data

– Therefore a new property has been introduced providing 3 options, how cycle should be handled and processed:

Cycle Option DescriptionBreak up at load time [breakup]

Default behavior.Cycles are broken up at load time. They might be traversed incompletely if starting from within a cycle and not from the root node. Which node is marked with IS_CYCLE = 1 depends on the initial traversal during the hierarchy instantiation.

Error [false] Error in case the hierarchy navigation traverses a cycle

Traverse completely, then break up [true]

Cycles are completely traversed once and then broken up. The duplicate node is marked with IS_CYCLE = 1 in the result.


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – SQL Expression Support

General SQL support within Expression Editors Explicit expression language selection

– Explicit distinction between Column Engine expressionand SQL Expression was introduced for Calculation Columns with SAP HANA SPS10

Now SQL expression are additionally supported in– Filter expressions– Restricted measure expressions– Default values expressions for

Variables/Input Parameters


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – SQL Expression Conversion

Expression conversion behavior Harmonized execution modes between Column

Engine- and SQL expression language– Calculation View execution will try to optimize and unfold

any view operation into a SQL expressionSimilarly if a SQL expression was used, but execution optimization determine conversion into a column store expression

– No result differences between use of a SQL vs Column Store expression due to respective semantic functions conversion

SAP NOTE: 1857202 - SQL Execution of calculation views

Example – Add sematic using a NULL-valueWithin a column store expression, you want to use the column store semantic addition behavior 1 + NULL = 1

This may implicitly get converted into a SQL expression ADD_NAZ(1,NULL) = 1

Within a column store expression, you want to use the SQL semantic addition behavior SQLADD(1,NULL) = NULLThis may implicitly get converted into a SQL Function 1 + NULL = NULL


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – Attribute Value Conversion

Attribute value conversion support with Calculation Views Default conversion functions for attribute columns

– 2 scalar functions can be specified per columns to maintainconversion from internal to external formatconversion from external to internal format

– External formatted value is always a string (VARCHAR)– “Preserve Order” can be additionally specified– Client require to make of the BIMC metadata generated

in order to leverage the conversion capabilities

Stored Data Type Format

Stored Data Value Formatted Value Order

Preserving

ABAP Date 20150305 05.03.2015 No

ABAP Date (order preserving) 20150305 2015.03.05 Yes

ALPHA (8 digits)ABCDE ABCDE Yes

12345 000012345

Conversion example


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – Attribute Value Conversion

Attribute value conversion support with Calculation Views Conversion with Variables and Parameters

– Variables and Parameters of type column implicitly inherit the conversion properties (not displayed for variables)

– Parameters of type direct, static list, derived also allow explicit assignment of conversion functions

Usage scenario with BI Clients and custom applications– Users will be prompted for formatted values, – Those shall be converted using the specified

conversion scaler function– Query uses value conversion expression in

variable filter where clause or parameter clause


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Calculation View Enhancements – Enhancing Query Result Cache

Enhancing Query Result Cache Controls Using query cache with HANA Views (introduced with SPS09)

– Query cache is only used for complex queries (group by …)– Suitable to use read-mostly workload, same set of queries is executed

repeatedly, rather non-changing data, rather expensive queriese.g. Smart Data Access queries

Enhanced query result cache control properties– Enabling/disabling the query result cache per view (may behave then

as referred in global / system result cache settings)– View-specific invalidation control additionally supports “transactional”,

which will invalidate cache, once the underlying data is changed

Reviewing cache use.


Additional SQL Optimization

SAP HANA View Modeling – Recent EnhancementsOptimized Calculation View Execution

Since SAP HANA Rev 62 the SQL optimization can explicitly be determined settingthe “Execute In:” property to “SQL Engine”

Since SAP HANA SPS9 the optimized execution behavior implicitly evaluates to leverage additional SQL optimization

SAP HANA SPS10 optimization enhancements include implicit optimized Star Join processing

Optimized execution for SQL-queries against Calculation Views The initial Calculation Engine optimization generates a single SQL statement across a stacked model,

which is then passed to the SQL optimizer The SQL optimizer adds additional optimizations and delegates operations to the best database execution

operator, e.g. delegate star join-nodes to the OLAP processing engine where possible

Calculation Engine Optimization

Calculation Views

SQL Optimization includes• Stacked Views /SQL unfolding

• Cost-based Optimization

• Delegate processing to best operator

* Implicit SQL optimization details are documented in SAP Note 2223597.

Migrate– Converting Attribute-, Analytic- and Scripted

Calculation Viewsto new Graphical Calculation Views

Conversion approach to Calculation ViewsAttribute-, Analytic- and Scripted Calculation View conversion to graphical Calculation View


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Converting all SAP HANA Views to Calculation ViewsGoing forward with Graphical Calculation Views Graphically modeled Calculation Views target to unify all SAP HANA View capabilities,

with respect to functionality as well as performance– Dimension-Type graphical Calculation Views replacing Attribute-Views– Cube-/StarJoin-Type graphical Calculation Views replacing Analytic-Views– Table Functions as Data Sources in graphical Calculation Views replacing Scripted-Calculation Views– SQL-based Analytic Privileges replacing classic modeled Analytic Privileges

Graphical Calculation Views in the new SAP HANA “environments”– The web-based development workbenches/IDE for SAP HANA will only support modeling graphical Calculation Views– The new SAP HANA Deployment Infrastructure will only support graphical Calculation Views

Converting your SAP HANA Views With SPS11 a migration utility is initially provided to support the conversion into Calculation Views

Note: As of SAP HANA SPS11 Calculation Views are not yet functional feature equivalent to Attribute- and Analytic Views (i.e. Temporal Join & Fuzzy search). However for most scenarios equivalent performance can already be achieved since SAP HANA SPS10 and the introduced execution optimizations.


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Converting all SAP HANA Views to Calculation ViewsGoing forward with Graphical Calculation Views Converting your SAP HANA Views

– Dimension-Type graphical Calculation Views replacing Attribute-Views– Cube-/StarJoin-Type graphical Calculation Views replacing Analytic-Views– Table Functions as Data Sources in graphical Calculation Views

replacing Scripted-Calculation Views– SQL-based Analytic Privileges replacing classic modeled Analytic Privileges

With SPS11 a migration utility is initially provided to support the conversion process


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Converting all SAP HANA Views to Calculation ViewsUsing the Migrate Objects Utility Converting Attribute- and Analytic Views

– In Step1, select the object types to convert,additionally a migration Log can be enabled

– In Step 2 either choose individual views to be migrated or by select complete packages

The default is that the views are replaced by calculation views in the same package with the same name. References in calculation views and analytic privileges using the migrated views are adjusted.

Alternatively by selecting the checkbox “Copy and migrate“the migration can be simulated by, then the calculation viewsare stored as copies allowing to test and validate the converted objects*.

*However references of the impacted objects are not automatically adjusted.



– Step 3 provides an overview what will happen during the migrationwith respect to adjusting impacted objects.

– Step 4, the migration runs as a background job afterwards. Once finished the log can be checked in the Job Log View or in the folder specified under migration log path.

Note: The migration just saves the new objects. You have to activate all the objects (including the deletions) manually in one step by choosing Activate from the Quick View

When objects get „copied and migrated“ („Simulation mode“), the utility does not display the list of impacted objects.



– Step 5 Activate converted objects (incl. activate deletions)using activate from the QuickView

– Note: If “in-place” conversion is chosen, during activation theAttribute- and Analytics Views first need to be deleted. Then in a second step, the Calculation Views can get activated.

SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Converting all SAP HANA Views to Calculation ViewsUsing the Migrate Objects Utility A migration log records critical changes the utility performs during the migration

activity and provides information on the status of the migration activity.

Migration Log records the following details– The total number of objects that you have selected for migration.– The total number of objects successfully converted to new object types.– The objects that require user actions before you can successfully activate those objects.– The list of impacted objects whose references modeler could automatically adjust.

These impacted objects are also converted to the new object type.– The list of impacted objects whose references modeler could not automatically adjust.

You have to manually select such impacted objects and convert it to the new object types in a new migration step.

– For converting classical XML-based analytical privileges, the log records the roles and users associated with the analytic privileges.


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Converting all SAP HANA Views to Calculation ViewsGeneral notes and recommendations Migration Rollback

– If migrated objects are not yet activated – “Delete inactive objects” will delete the inactive calculation views and revert

the attribute and analytic views to the last active status before the migration.


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Converting all SAP HANA Views to Calculation ViewsGeneral considerations and recommendation on how to approach a migration Object dependencies and package structures

– Dependencies between Attribute and Analytic Viewso When analytic views using attribute views as shared dimensions are migrated, any other used attribute views had to

be migrated as well before the actual migrated analytic view can be activated. o Furthermore if such an attribute view is referenced in other analytic views, those have to get migrated as well.

Otherwise errors with reference to impacted objects will occur during activation of the dimension calculation view.Therefore if this attribute views is referenced in analytic views in other packages, those have to be included in the migration step as well.

– References to migrated objects in Calculation Views are automatically updated during activation, even if the packages containing the Calculation Views have not been selected for migration.

Migration procedure recommendation– Several migration steps can be executed in order to reach a consistent state of all migrated objects. – Then all migrated objects can get activated at once. – This also allows to cancel the migration and to revert to the status before,

by choosing “Delete inactive objects” from the Quick View.


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Converting all SAP HANA Views to Calculation ViewsConsiderations for converting Attribute- and Analytic Views Features and capabilities with different behavior in Graphical

Calculation Views– Hidden columns have to be made visible during migration

or stay as missing in the resulting Calculation View

– Analytic views internally used row.count columns, will be madevisible during migration calculation view header property “Count Star column" with row.count.

– Derived Attribute Views are migrated as multiple copies into new calculation Views with no derive dependency anymore.

– All column filters in the attribute-/analytic views are converted to an equivalent filter expressions in the new graphical calculation views

– Data Foundation with Input Parameter filter expression will be migrated as extra projection nodes with filters.

– “Relational optimization”-Analytic View option will be dropped during migration as the general Calculation View optimization are applied.

– Calculation views filter with an empty string,

thus more rigidly, if the HANA user property “Session Client” is not set.

Capabilities not yet supported with Graphical Calculation Views– Temporal Join in Analytic Views– Search Attributes in Attribute Views


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Converting Analytic Privileges to SQL-based Analytic Priv.Specific consideration for migrating Analytic Privileges Privilege differences for Dimensions in Calculation Views

– In order to access data from an Analytic View, it was sufficient to grant an analytic privilege, that had the analytic view as the secured object.

– After the migration to a calculation view, all dimension views need to be added as secured objects as well.*

Dynamic Analytic Privileges referencing a procedure– Requires manual adjustment and migration effort.

Re-assign roles, users and SELECT privileges to the new SQL analytic privileges– The migration log or job log will provide information on SQL analytic privileges which do not have

users or roles assigned to them. A single classic modeled analytic privilege maybe converted to multiple SQL-based

analytic privileges, which altogether provide the restricted access to the views. – In such cases the new SQL analytic privileges have to be re-assigned to the users or roles.– The migration log or the job log will provide information on SQL-based analytic privileges which do

not have any roles or users assigned to it.

*This migration behavior is targeted to be improved in a future release.


SAP HANA SPS11 - Modeling Enhancements Converting all SAP HANA Views to Calculation ViewsGeneral migration procedure recommendations Take a back-up of all objects

– Before performing a migration activity, it is recommended to take a back-up of all modeler objects Start migration with a clean workspace

– Before you perform the migration activity it is recommended to have only models that are in the active state. After a migration is complete, the new object types are in this inactive state. Starting with a clean workspace helps you identify those objects that are impacted by the migration activity and also to undo the changes of the migration activity.

Simulate the migration activity before migrating– If you want to convert attribute views and analytic views to graphical calculation views, then it is recommended to first

simulate the migration activity and understand the impact of the migration. You can proceed with the migration after analyzing the impact. For more information on simulating a migration activity

Migrate information views before migrating analytic privileges– If you want to convert information views and classical privileges to graphical calculation views and SQL analytic

privileges respectively, then in the first migration activity convert the analytic views or attribute views or script-based calculation views to graphical calculation views and in the next migration activity convert the classically-modeled analytic privileges to SQL analytic privileges.

Undo migration changes can only be done before activating the objects using “Delete Inactive Objects”.
