Mapping Risk in a Stormwater Network using SAP HANA Spatial and Graph

In this blog post I will show how to estimate the water load in a stormwater network and calculate the risk of an overload. Sure, I’m not a water network expert, but here is the idea: a stormwater network is a directed, (in our case mostly acyclic) graph made up of a set of edges/pipes and vertices/junctions. For each vertex we can calculate the catchment area, i.e. the area from which rain water most likely will enter the network via that vertex. Each vertex then propagates the load to its downstream network. By looking at the ratio of the pipe’s load and cross-section, we can estimate the overload risk for each pipe.

Employee Integration to Business Partner without HCM

INTRODUCTION

To use Some Fiori apps are required to have the employees ID or employee business partner integrated with the user ID to use the app such as Manage Purchasing Categories (F0337). This post shows how to create an employee business partner without integrating HCM using Fiori App Maintain Employees (F2288A). We can use Fiori app Maintain Employees (F2288A) to create employee data. With this app, we can integrate the business partner with the user ID. when we create employee data using the app Maintain Employees, the system will automatically create business partner data BUP003 role. Later on, you can modify your employee data using T-Code BP or Fiori app Maintain Employees.

Upcoming Workshop: Collaborative Database Development in SAP HANA Cloud

Collaboration is the key to successful database development. And as part of our Virtual Data and Analytics Forum, which began last week, we’ll be holding a special workshop session on Collaborative Database Development in SAP HANA Cloud, HANA Database.

This workshop will use hands-on sessions to guide participants through a number of important tasks, from changing data structures and automating application deployment to setting up template projects for use by your colleagues. SAP HANA Cloud’s flexible data management capabilities will be on full display.

Boost performance of SAP Analytics Cloud tables by using proper styling techniques

Does styling of my SAC table cause performance drawbacks?

In fact, every story designer can try out whether sophisticated styling is a performance driver of a table widget. Do the following to test whether performance issues of your table widget is caused by filthy formatting: Measure the performance of your table widget with styling and without styling and compare results. To remove all styling definitions of the table widget we can make use of table templates (figure 1) – switching the table template will prompt the story designer to eventually delete all styling definitions (figure 2) previously applied. In other words, styling will be reset after selecting a predefined template. Thereupon, we can use the refresh button at the toolbar to measure performance of the table widget without any applied styling. In case the table loads quicker without any formatting applied, this can be interpreted as a strong hint that previously applied styling definitions cause performance issues.

Gain first hands on experience with the new automated S/4HANA deployment in Microsoft Azure

Try out the new SAP S/4HANA 2020 FPS02 production-ready deployment in Microsoft Azure with the quick and easy approach of SAP Cloud Appliance Library ( SAP CAL). It applies to standards aligned by SAP and Microsoft and follows their best practice.

We are looking for customers and partners who want to register and share their feedback with us before end of November 2021. Our target group are SAP System administrators with access to Microsoft Azure.

The deployed system allows for integration into Landscape Management Cloud to leverage its possibilities for system operations. The deployment itself will also soon be part of a comprehensive integration with Software Logistics Toolset starting with system design in maintenance planner, running the installation and offering an integration with SAP Software Upgrade Manager and notes implementation.

How-to Review and Set SAP HANA Parameters Following Updated Recommendations

I have always found myself in below situations during my career as consultant for SAP HANA specifically in projects for implementation, migrations/upgrades, and even daily operation:

1. SAP HANA Parameters setup during initial installation, following SAP best practice or recommended value(s).

2. Review HANA Parameters of existing systems in case of HANA Support Pack Stacks or HANA Revision update.

It could be of company own systems, managing systems for customers, or from migration project taking over from other vendors.
