About this DocumentBusiness Case
This document is based on Sales Business case scenarios.
Purpose
This manual aims to help you to understand the modeling of HANA views into BW and reporting based on
BW providers in SAP BW on HANA. This kind of processing is done in SAP BW on HANA. This manual also
provides details of the steps involved in creating and modeling HANA views and migrating to BW and creating
a report based BW providers. This document is created solely with the intention of sharing information.
Pre-requisites
Following are the pre-requisites for performing the tasks presented in this manual:
SAP BW on HANA 7.4 installed on the server with packages sp4 (SAPKW74004). SAP BW on HANA 7.3.1 installed on the server with packages sp9 (SAPKW73109). SAP BW on HANA 7.3 installed on the server with packages sp10 (SAPKW73010). HANA database upgraded to version HANA SPS 06 and above. BW authorization and Analytic privileges. Knowledge of BO Objects. Knowledge of BO Data services.

1 Overview of Transient provider, Virtual provider and Composite provider in BW 7.4
DSO and InfoCube in BW 7.4 are HANA-Optimized by default. This reduces the activation time and has a
huge impact on the performance .Similarly modeling HANA Views in BW on HANA into Transient providers,
Composite Providers and Virtual Providers also has a huge impact on performance if the underlying database
is HANA.
1.1 Transient Provider

Key features
Its metadata in BW is not persisted, but always generated at runtime. BEx Queries built on top can adapt to changes automatically as far as possible. Navigational attributes of an assigned Info Object cant be used .
It cannot be used in Multi provider. It can only be used in Composite Provider in order to merge with other InfoProvider. It is exposed to BEx and BI tools.
1.2 Composite Provider
Its biggest advantage that it performs both union and joins operation which overcomes the limitationof Info Sets and Multi provider in BW .
1.3 Virtual Provider
Key features
It offers a very flexible way of integrating data not stored in BW Objects into the consistent BW world. We can turn on Navigational Attributes for the Virtual Provider as usual. Then we can
map the Navigational Attribute also to a field in the HANA model in the Provider specific
properties if you do not map it, the data comes from the Master data tables in BW.
Virtual Provider can be transported as usual, it can be used in a Multi Provider and BEx Queries canbe built on top, just like for any other Virtual Provider.
The data read access at Query runtime is not via SQL, but it uses the same special Analytics APIthat we use to access data in InfoCubes, DSOs, and Multi Providers. This enables the BW Analytic
Manager to push down operations to HANA instead of performing them in the application server.

2 Source Data Extraction (using BO Data
Services)
We will now see the basic feature of Extraction and Loading from Flat file system to HANA using BO Data
Services.
Log in to BO Data Services with proper username and password.
We create new Excel type format to load Sales Item data (VBAP Table).

Next we have to fill up the set up tables for the data sources. For doing this first we need to deletethe contents that are already present in that setup tables.
Go to the transaction code LBWG and select the application component whose content has to bedeleted.

To check whether the setup table is deleted or not go to the transaction code RSA3 and give the data
source name and it will show Record 0 found which means data has been deleted from the setuptable.
Now using the transaction code LBWQ delete the extraction queue of the data source. Also delete the delta queue for the data sources using the transaction code RSA7. Next is to fill the setup table using the transaction code SBIW or OLI*BW where * denotes the
application component

Analytic view is created on item table (VBAP) replicated by BO Data Services. NOTE:Make sure to mention the measure type Amount with Currency for measure
attribute like for COST, NETVALUE, NETPRICE to avoid mismatch problem with the predefined
Info Objects while creating transient or virtual provider. CURR is a currency field of Item table (VBAP).

We can use either UNION or JOIN operands in modeling of Composite Provider based onrequirements which is an advantage over Multi Provider (only union) and Infoset (only join).
Drag and Drop HANA-Optimized DSO from left panel to right panel and use binding typeas "UNION.
Drag and Drop Transient provider from left panel to right panel and use binding type as
"Inner JOIN.
NOTE: In composite provider, there has to be one provider with binding type as
UNION.

8 Conclusion
The concept of the Transient Provider has the biggest appeal in the context of ad-hoc models with
frequent changes and a limited durability. But we cant transport a Transient Provider and so we
have to publish the HANA model in each system where we want to use it.
For the more long term and stable requirements we instead propose the new Virtual Provider, based on HANA
model.
So as a general recommendation we state, that we should keep the model in HANA as simple as possible and
model the calculations instead in the BEx Query.
