Generating SAP HANA Views for CompositeProvidersLocate this document in the navigation structure

In the SAP HANA database, you can generate calculation views for CompositeProviders, which you have created in BW modeling tools.

Prerequisites

Data from the following providers is excluded when the SAP HANA view is generated:

  • DataStore objects, which no SIDs are generated for during activation
  • Semantically partitioned objecs from DataStore objects, which no SIDs are generated for during activation
  • Open ODS views, which do not meet the prerequisites for CalculationScenarios of Open ODS views in SAP Note 2036430 Information published on SAP site
  • InfoObjects as InfoProviders for which the master data access is not Standard
  • Data from near-line storage, with the exception of advanced DataStore object
  • InfoSets
  • Aggregation levels
  • HybridProviders
  • VirtualProviders, with the exception of VirtualProviders, which are based on an SAP HANA model and do not have input parameters
  • APO InfoCubes

If a CompositeProvider only contains providers that are in this list, the SAP HANA view cannot be generated.

Request handling is not supported. In other words, all requests are always read.

Procedure

  1. You are in the BW modeling tools, in the editing screen for your CompositeProvider.
  2. Choose the General tab and activate the External SAP HANA View flag.
  3. When the CompositeProvider is activated, an SAP HANA view corresponding to the structure of the object is generated on the SAP HANA database.
