Use of SAP HANA Runtime for ECC/ERP as a DataWarehouse for BI

[Former Member]

As I understand, Enterprise DataWarehouse licence for HANA and ECC Runtime license for HANA are two different categories.

Has there been any change recently in the terms and conditions of Runtime HANA License to be able to use as datawarehouse license as well for those customers who hold SAP BO Suite for Enterprise license?

Being litle more explainatory to this, can SAP Runtime HANA database be used for putting external data which is non ECC/ERP related.

Has there been any recent changes around HANA usages which are not even relevant to this? Just would like to get upto speed on that.

Honestly, this isn't the right place for license discussions. They are customer-specific and license grants can vary from customer to customer.

But no, in general a runtime license is granted for a specific usage. You can't extend that usage by creating your own DB tables in HANA, though you could create custom tables via the app's API, like ABAP Z tables.
