Scope of SAP HANA - Current market trend

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

Currently I am ABAPer from last 7 years, Now I am willing to change technology to SAP HANA.

How I will be able to shift to SAP HANA according to current market?

I have a practical knowledge on SAP BI also.

Please let me know the scope of SAP HANA.

Is SAP HANA like working as back-end, as its in SAP-ABAP?

As you have practical knowledge of BI also so it will be easy for you  learn HANA and you can also easily understand BW on HANA concept

Currently SAP HANA is In Memory  database i.e. all the data is stored in RAM only and it can also be used for reporting

Now HANA also has an XS Application Server installed on it so that we can use JAVScript, OData and SAPUI5 to create reports

SAP is offering 6 weeks free HANA training which has started on 27th May 2013. You will find all videos tutorials on opensap.com. Before starting with actual HANA course (Introduction to Software Development on SAP HANA) it’s good to first go through Warm-Up (Warm-Up: In-Memory Data Management) sessions.
