SAP HANA 2.0 SPS07 Modeling [HA300]

OVERVIEW

This course teaches the core capabilities of SAP HANA for calculation view modeling, and covers mainly graphical modeling, as well as SQL- based modeling (table functions and procedures) with a focus on performance. It also introduces Core Data Services as a flexible method to model a persistence layer. The participants will gain knowledge about the management of modeling content in the SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA, and the key principles of object and data access security in a modeling context.

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.

OBJECTIVES

This course will prepare you to:

• Develop information models following SAP best practices for maximum performance and flexibility
• Get started with SQL and SQL-Script based modeling
• Manage projects and modeling content in the SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA
• Implement security and data access controls around SAP HANA data models
