Benefits of Calculation Views

y
nl
● All calculations are performed on the fly within the database engines

eo
No aggregates need to be pre-calculated, and the front-end reporting tools

os
delegate most of the data processing workload (filtering, aggregation, calculations)

rp
is ach Pu
to the SAP HANA in-memory engines in order to achieve very high performance.

io Co n

ib
● Reusability

at - i tio

oh
lic TH ara
Each calculation view can be used (referenced) by other calculation views.

pr
p
re
● Flexibility

n
eP
Calculation views provide a number of features that make them very flexible. For
rs

example, defining hierarchies, filtering data, generating prompts for variables and
ou

p
rc

input parameters, and performing currency conversion.

Du
Fo

● Adaptability
An SAP HANA calculation view can adapt its behavior to the list of columns that are
selected or projected on top of it. For example, the granularity of a Rank node can
HA300 Unit 1 Lesson 1

Benefits of Calculation Views

y
nl
be determined dynamically depending on whether you query results by country or

eo
by country and customer.

os
rp
● Easy to transport

is ach Pu

d
ite
SAP HANA provides powerful tools to transport calculation views between different

io Co n

ib
at - i tio
SAP HANA databases; for instance, to install SAP-delivered calculation views, or

oh

transport your own calculation views between your development, quality

Rank Column: Measure or Attribute?

y
nl
● Attribute

eo
Assigning the type Attribute is a simple approach.

os
rp
It is probably a bit less error-prone, because you are not tempted to perform an

is ach Pu

irrelevant aggregation of ranking positions.

ite
io Co n

ib
at - i tio
● Measure

oh
lic TH ara

pr
With the type Measure, the rank column can provide some flexibility.

p
re
For example, if you set the default aggregate function to MAX, you can retrieve

n
eP
summarized data, such as the total sales generated by the five biggest orders in
rs

each country, while keeping the information about how many orders are actually
ou

totaled in each country. Indeed, there might be countries that have received less
p
rc

Du

than five orders over the considered period, and this information could be of
Fo

interest when analyzing the data.

Validating an Expression Against a Specific Language: Key

nl
eo
● It helps to validate the syntax of calculated columns according to the specified

language.

For example, an expression with an IF condition (supported only with SQLScript)

● In turn, it helps the modeler to optimize the calculation execution.

Indeed, plain SQL expressions enable a better optimization process, compared to

SQLScript. So, by validating the expression against SQL, you can make sure that it
is fully optimized.

● Use a variable in an expression

:<variable_name> (with a colon) returns the current value of the variable
Example: b = :a + 5; (assigns the value of a + 5 to b)

Most Common Errors during Build Operations

y
nl
● The project has just been imported but is not yet assigned to a space.

eo
Indeed, a build always triggers the deployment to a container. A condition is that

os
the space in which to deploy the container service must be specified. Your SAP

rp
is ach Pu
Web IDE user must have the Developer role in the space.

ib
● The definition of an object on which another object depends is not provided, or it is

oh
lic TH ara
provided but this object has not been built yet.

pr
p
re
● The definition of a runtime object is provided by several design-time files.

n
eP
● There is a namespace inconsistency between the content of a design-time file and
rs
ou

the namespace property of the folder in which it is located.

p
rc

● The service to access external schemas is not defined and running in the target
Fo

space.

● The synonyms for external schema access are not built yet.
● There is an object-specific design error.
HA300 Unit 7 Lesson 1

Most Common Errors during Build Operations

y
nl
For example, no measure is defined in a Cube calculation view.

eo
os
● There is an inconsistency between the object you build and a referenced object.

For example, there is a mismatch in a column name between two objects with a

Main Rules for a Consistent Management of Modeling Content

● A build operation always checks the end-to-end dependency between modeling

p
content across all the HDB module, but only builds the design-time files you have
re

n
eP
selected for the build operation.
rs

● During a build operation, the checks apply to all the runtime objects that are
ou

p
rc

already built, and also all the objects included in the build scope (that is, in case of
Du
Fo

a partial build, the design-time files you have selected).

A design-time file that has never been built and is not part of the build operation is
ignored.
