Structure

The SAP HANA-based variant 1 of Embedded Search comprises the following two software components:

  • ABAP component

    As part of Application Server ABAP in SAP NetWeaver, Embedded Search provides the search services that are required for direct access to business data in SAP HANA. The user interface and administration and modeling tools are also provided.

  • SAP HANA

    SAP Business Suite uses SAP HANA as the database for its business data.

Process

Once you have completed the SAP HANA-specific post-installation tasks for Embedded Search, applications can use Embedded Search.

The figure below illustrates the process flows for runtime:

Runtime: A search application (for example, based on the standard user interface) in the SAP system sends a search request to Embedded Search, which translates the request into SQL-SELCET statements and directs them to SAP HANA. The search result calculated by SAP HANA is transferred to Embedded Search. Embedded Search sends the search result to the search application.
