New Features in Version 2021.13

Enable Access to Monitoring Views in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud

You can now make SAP HANA monitoring views available in a dedicated space in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, so that users assigned to the space can monitor resource consumption.

For more information, see Configure Monitoring.

Perspective in Analytics Mode

For perspectives, you can now enable the option Run in Analytics Mode in order to optimize performance. The same option is available in the Data Builder. This sends the USE_OLAP_PLAN hint to the SQL optimizer.

For more information, see Define Perspectives.

Create Statistics for Your Remote Tables

In the Remote table Monitor - Details screen, you can now create statistics for your remote tables to ensure the best possible query performance of views with federated data access and provide efficient query execution plans.

For more information, see Creating Statistics for Your Remote Tables.

Resume Real-Time Replication After an Error

In the Remote table Monitor - Details screen, you can now easily resume real-time replication for remote tables whose status has turned into failed. After you’ve corrected the error, simply click the Retry button and your real-time replication will be resumed.

For more information, see Resuming Real-Time Replication After a Fail.

Create an External Hierarchy

The new Semantic Usage property Hierarchy allows you to create an external parent-child hierarchy in a view for situations where your hierarchy information is stored outside your dimension. You can add an external hierarchy to your dimension from the Hierarchies dialog or via a Hierarchy Association in the Associations list.

For more information, see Create an External Hierarchy for Drill-Down.

Space Quota Assignment Becomes Optional

With the option Enable Space Quota you can now decide to define space quotas or not. This allows you to quickly create a space without thinking of space quota and storage size allocation, for example when starting with SAP Data Warehouse Cloud and you don't know yet about the required storage size when creating the first space. When disabled, there's no space quota check, the space won't be locked, and it can consume as much storage as needed. You can change the setting later for existing spaces when you know how much storage is needed by the space and how it should be allocated.

For more information, see Create a Space.
