I am working currently in a HANA project. No, I am not a fresher.
Regarding material watch the videos in SAP HANA Academy and sign up for one month free trial of SAP HANA and start practicing. Also, download SAP HANA modeling guide, SAP SQLscript, SAP SLT Document, SAP DXC, SAP HANA Data Provisioning, SAP HANA BOBJ Reporting, SAP HANA RDS.
SAP HA 300 and SAP HA100 would be helpful. Since these are copy righted material you have to buy them from SAP website.
I purchased this book from SAP Press: NEW SAP HANA Introduction Book 2nd Ed by Penny Silva and Dr. Bjarne Berg.
This book is very good and a handy resource for your exam and beyond.
Also, check out Dr. Berg's website from Lenoir-Ryhne University.
If you download freely available SAP material, hang out at SAP HANA Academy, SAP BI Tutorials, and Practice using Free Trial, you should be ok with your certification exam.
You have to start somewhere and you will get an idea where to look for additional help.
I fully agree with your above statement: SAP HANA Platform – SAP Help Portal Page is a very good resource. Maybe not necessarily only for the certification process, but also for reference when actually working with HANA in more detail (SQL Reference, UI5 Reference, basic HANA Performance Guide etc.). It never hurts to keep up to date with the official documentation of the latest SPS.
Many many thanks for giving me information with all the detail information,I am really grateful to you.
Please clear me one thing. now I am working as a ABAP consultant have experience of more than one year, now I am planning for HANA certification,but before I have never worked In HANA, please advice me shall I go for HANA certification?? is it worth,will I get break in HANA as a fresher?. Or else I should continue with ABAP only.
Today I have passed the SAP-HANA C_ HANAIMP131 certification exam and in my experience I would say that preparation is the key for success. I suggest to rely on SCN blogs for updates and stick to the topic areas which will give you a fixed scope. Open SAP.com covers majority of the topics and I really enjoyed and learned a lot in listening to those videos by Thomas Jung. I will say that this exam tests your conceptual knowledge and also some scenarios in real-time. By the way, you will have plenty of time to answer 80 questions (nearly 3 hrs),the best method in finding an appropriate answer is eliminating the incorrect choices. Everyday, I used to listen to several videos on topics and try to interpret in my own words by making notes and I believe this will definitely work progressively when you started injecting the content into your memory.I wish all the best for everyone who wants to go ahead with the certifications on HANA.
Where did you take the exam? Did you purchase it and practice it first or you just read the study materials and watched the video to pass? Please can you share me your experience and the study method I will be really appreciate your help. IM me or send me a email at wasif.ali@adamtravel.net.
I undergone SAP HANA training and I started preparing since July 2013, I suggest you to go through the courses of HA100 and HA300. There are SAP certified books available, but never rely on single book. you should have to have adequate amount of preparation time and hands on experience on concepts and topics. Looking at various informative materials and videos, these will provide you Just a basic level of understanding. practice, practice and practice is the key for success. I don't want to suggest any particular author book related to this exam. use your own experience and your own strategy for passing the exam.
Please let me know. I am working as a ABAP consultant and planning for SAP-HANA certification...How do I Start and how will I give the HANA certification please send me all the helpful details...
I am here in texas and I am planning to take the certification. Can you tell me how to study I have the materials I just need to understand the concept that explain in the book or I just need to memorize the TZHANA to pass the exam. I mean what kind of question I should expect in the exam.
Please kindly note that your email address has been removed from this message. Should you wish to share your email address on SCN, please do share it on your SCN profile.
I am an ex-SAP employee until January 2012. So i applied for the exam just after the tweet of @SAP about HANA certification which is "Gain a competitive edge with an #SAP #HANA certification http://spr.ly/6013RiT3 " on 23rd of November.
(although you wont be able to replicate the example given in TZHANA or OHA10 , as it needs MARA, CEIDEA tables etc , but you can practice the examples in the HANA pocketbook and get a good feel of everything )
and even if you do NOT have any hands on , but blindly memorize every page of TZHANA or OHA10 , you will pass the exam . which means like all other SAP certification , this certification has no value or passing it does not mean that person understands HANA at all .
The only thing , i felt did not come straight off the TZHANA was questions on Data Services , but just for a hint .. most data provisioning , the answer was Data Services .
Finally please dont ask me to send you TZHANA or OHA10 , and nor will anybody send you -- without any vested interest.
Also SAP offers 50 % off coupons for most exams in North America, so you can take the exam for 250 $ .
Although, I must add that SAP has been giving 50 % off coupons since the last two years. the current coupon I had , expired in Dec 2011 , so I had emailed Ken for a new coupon code , he let me know that as of now there are not yet any for 2012 , which is why a procrastinator like me gave the certification in a hurry .
Hello guys... I've one question... Do I have do pay for some course, in SAP, to be able to take the certification exam? I mean, can I study by myself and pay only for the exam?
Other question:
Here in Brazil, the HANA courses are virtual only. Have you taken virtual classes too?
Since you are in Minneapolis , I am assuming that you had taken your certification from Pearson Vue. Have you recieved the offiicialcertificate from SAP . I had taken my certification in Dec 11 - but other than the pearson vue (at Minnealpolis) confirmation - i have not recieved any oficial record from SAP .
Kiran, Is TZHANA alone sufficient, what about OHA010? I believe OHA010 are mostly PDF documents, but are the help documents that are available on help.sap.com alone sufficient?
Just wanted to justify the need to spend $500 for OHA010.
Is it TZHANA enough to pass the certification. I think RHANA is similar to TZHANA right. So how about OHA 10. Also in the OHA 10 it also covers the Technical consultant role and contains
Technical Consultant:
SAP High-Performance Analytic Appliance (SAP HANA)
SAP HANA - Architecture
SAP HANA - Docupedia
SAP HANA - Core SetUp
SAP HANA - Setup Extended Components
SAP HANA - Core Configuration
SAP HANA - Configure Extended Components
SAP HANA - Validation
SAP HANA- Operations
Partner Configuration
For Application consultant we don't need the above one right.
Just focus on the below topics
Business content +
Data Modeling +++
Data Provisioning +++
Optimization ++
Reporting ++
Security and Authorization +
Please confirm. Again congrats on your certification and thanks for your valuable input. It helps all.
TZHANA is more than enough for certification test. These are few of the tips for Certification Test
a) TZHANA is good enough.
b) You may need some exposure to SAP BW, BODS etc to score high, but in reality nobody is bothered about the score, so you may leave those questions and yet be happy with the test results.
Anyone requesting documents can go to http://help.sap.com/hana_appliance/ and go over the documents (Master Guide, TOM and Modeling Guide). They will be helpful for preparing for certifications. I don't think anyone will be sharing the TZHANA material as they will violating the T&C.
I am here in texas and I am planning to take the certification. Can you tell me how to study I have the materials I just need to understand the concept that explain in the book or I just need to memorize the TZHANA to pass the exam. I mean what kind of question I should expect in the exam.
You do not have to thank me, as I told you. You did it by yourself.
I can say that over two months of your evolution has been exponential.
Your way of looking at this challenge was perfect, the accuracy, persistence, far you've privileged information as others had, the most important: you did understand the concept of In-Memory, architecture and business. Because, technical situation as far I know, anyone can learn
Mr and Mrs, I do not have the stamp of the SAP, this doesn't matter, but, I certify RAO as SAP ALL-IN-MEMORY
