embedding the UDF in SAP HANA

Benefits • Seamless integration into applications – Enable SAP

HANA-based applications such as SAP Business Warehouse to use the results of predictive calculations by embedding scoring equations that were trained on their own data.


Support for SAP HANA Vora in predictive modeler

Use data stored in SAP HANA Vora for modelling and scoring*• Use SAP’s Native Spark modelling capabilities to create models

without data extraction from SAP HANA Vora• Score new data by exporting the scoring equation as SparkSQL• Leverage SAP HANA Vora’s SQL Editor for data preparation

Benefits • Seamless integration into your Big Data landscape – Bring

the benefits of SAP HANA Vora to your predictive environment • Enhanced access and efficiency for Big Data – SAP HANA

Vora serves as a critical bridge between Hadoop and SAP HANA landscapes and provides better performance in mixed environments.
