Hello Rao,

did the ramp-up of HANA 1.0 SP3 already start? I haven't seen the announcement from SAP yet. And I expect a big announcement.

Therefore I expect you won't find much experience with BW 7.3 on HANA, but are some blogs from SAP on the topic:

How does analytics look like on BW powered by HANA

HANA and BW 7.30 - Part 1

HANA and BW 7.30 - Part 2

Infocubes and Data Store Objects ... and HANA

Yes, I think BW on HANA SP3 is on RAMPUP Mode, i saw some where REDBULL completed implementation migration to BW on HANA

that links are very good for understanding IMDB - CUbes, DOS...

I am looking more, process scenario, how the handle Data sources.... etc.

i am eager to install BW on HANA

thanks

I believe this question is roaming in Internet groups, again I raise same question here, to find in depth technical information.

Please share it the exact difference.

HANA Enterprise Extend edition Meets all ETL & ELT ( BW features), still why BW on HANA?

SAP & non SAP - BODS 4.0 -- HANA 1.0 SPS3 -- BI 4.0( Any front end ODBC support ) (is it Best solution?)

Or

SAP & non SAP - BW on HANA SPS3 -- Frontend Tools ( this is best)?

Please can explain technical way.

the intention which is good & Easy & realtime

thanks

First of all , HANA Enterprise Extend edition DOES NOT Meets all BW features.

There are no best scenario, it is dependent on scenarios.HANA SPS3 scenarios would be great fit for Agile Data mart however BW on HANA would be great fit for EDW scenarios.

For users who already have BW with BWA, BW on HANA bring performance improvement on the other side of equation (ETL side) along with query improvement.

At high level, following are some of techinal issues with using HANA SPS 3 as "One fit for all" :

1. Currently, there is no reporting tool available which can recogonize variable functionality of HANA. One may use universe variable functionality however the functionality will not provide all exhaustive options.

2. Currently Hierarchies cannot be recogonized by any of reporting tools.

3. Currently Data Level security options in HANA is limited.

Another dimension to consider is if you have planning application,Integrated Planning is currently supported and BPC will be supported soon (the scenario is only possible BW on HANA).

Hope this is helpful.

PS:

Regarding HANA 1.0 SPS3, for your below scenario:

SAP & non SAP - BODS 4.0 -- HANA 1.0 SPS3 -- BI 4.0( Any front end ODBC support )

you will need BODS 4.1 version.
