DESCRIPTION
SAP HANA is s a real-time, in-memory database that enables organizations to process “big data” in support of transactional processing, operational reporting, advanced analytics and predictive modeling. With that said, SAP HANA has the potential to be much more than a database. In fact, SAP HANA as platform can serve as an agile, flexible application development framework. This game-changing capability empowers organizations to build advanced applications directly on SAP HANA, leveraging the SAP HANA Extended Application Service (XS). During this webinar, we will outline how the SAP HANA XS Engine can add value to your business through agile development methods. Additionally, we will demonstrate how SAP HANA Studio is used to develop applications that can both read and write to your SAP HANA instance. The webinar will specifically focus on how SAP HANA XS can provide personalization, page building and navigation. We will detail the benefits and best practices and demonstrate the integrated SAP HANA application layer tools.

“ It used to be top down. Where companies would go out and conduct a
survey and collect data. Now we are walking around with devices that
log everything we like, picture we take, store we visit. You don’t have
to go out and find data. It is now coming and finding us. “
– Jake Porway – National Geographic
“Consider the decline in the quality and consistency of user interfaces. I
look at the hideous UIs on many commercial applications and it’s
obvious the interface was slapped together just so that the design tool
would crank out the code for handling user events. The code was
finished, but the barely capable UI went out the door with just a little
polish.”
– Tom Yager, “Ahead of the Curve” Columnist
“There is nothing more dangerous than standing still in a world that is
changing.”
– Former French President Jacques Chirac

System Overview
HANA SPS8, HANA Studio Version: 1.80.3
Dickinson + Associates would like to understand the following
metric:
How can we expose live purchase order data to our
internal employees who are not on SAP?
What are we going to do?
Quickly deploy basic SAPUI5 Page
Expose Purchase Order Data via Odata services
Use an SAPUI5 table element to display the PO Data
Create a widget to encapsulate the table
Use Page Builder to compose a website
Review a detailed HANA application
Appendix
Basic Terminology
Artifacts
Eclipse Projects – Local development objects, edited with
the Eclipse developer tool
XS – Extended Application Services
UI – User Interface
OData service – Protocol to provide CRUD (create, read,
update, delete) access
Getting Started
