SAP HANA User Interface Integration Services: Overview and What’s New

Overview: SAP HANA Extended Application Services (XS)


SAP HANA Extended Application Services (XS)Introduction

What: Small footprint application server / web server / basis for an application development platform inside SAP HANA

Rationale: Enable application development and deployment while minimizing architectural “layers” Create apps that have an http-based UI (browser, mobile apps) Apps run directly on SAP HANA, w/o additional external servers or

components

-> simplified system architecture = low TCO Tight integration w/ SAP HANA DB -> best possible performance

Scope: wide range of apps Lightweight small web-based applications Complex enterprise business applications


Development model for SAP HANA based native applications

SAP HANA extended application services offer Easy access to SAP HANA database via HTTP-based consumption Attractive, dynamic HTML5 UI applications via OData services or by

writing native application-specific code that runs in SAP HANA context Built-in web server to access static content stored in

SAP HANA repository …and much more

Application development following a layered approach UI rendering completely in the client (browser, mobile apps) Server-side procedural logic in JavaScript All artifacts stored in the SAP HANA repository

What’s New for XS in SPS 07


CDS/HDBDD Syntax Changes - Associations

• Associations define relationships between Entities (tables)

• Not yet integrated into the catalog/SQL but can be referenced when defining views within the same CDS object


CDS/HDBDD Syntax Changes - Views

• CDS syntax expands to include the definition of views

• Views can utilize the defined associations between entities

• Join type automatically determined from association definition of the entity


Inactive Testing

• Ability to execute the inactive version of xsjs, xsodata, xsjslib, or any static web content

• Better support multiple developers working on the same content at the same time as they can test just their localized changes

• Requirements:• Server must be running in developer_mode• On the client side set a cookie name

sapXsDevWorkspace to the name of your Repository workspace


Inactive Testing (continued)

• Ability to execute the inactive version of xsjs, xsodata, xsjslib, or any static web content

• Better support multiple developers working on the same content at the same time as they can test just their localized changes

• Prerequisites:• Server must be running in developer_mode• On the client side set a cookie name

sapXsDevWorkspace to the name of your Repository workspace


OData CRUD XSJS Exits

XSODATA• Low coding OData REST service

generation framework

• Based upon existing tables and views

• CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations support with SQLScript exits

• New for SPS 07: Create, Update, Delete exits support XSJS

OData JavaScript Exits

• Processing exits can reference xsjslib files and specific JavaScript functions

• The database connection and temporary tables with the before and after values are passed to this function

• Particularly useful for server-side validations (but open for other use cases too)


Other Miscellaneous OData Features New in SPS 07

• Annotations: e.g. sap:label, sap:unit, sap:text – available for use with texts for analytic views

• Associations between parameterized CalcViews

• Access to translatable parts of arbitrary runtime objects - support for translatable texts


Job Scheduling

• HANA now contains a Job Scheduler which can run XSJS and SQLScript

• New Development artifact: XSJOB

• Extension to the Admin tool to maintain job definitions and view job logs


Job Scheduling – XSCRON syntax

• CRON-like syntax for controlling job timings and repetitions


Job Scheduling – XSJS API

• New Job extension to the XSJS APIs

• Ability to programmatically create and cancel jobs


Authentication for XS: New Options for SPS 07

XS Authentication Options:

- Basic Authentication

- Form-based authentication

- SSO (Single-Sign On) via SAP Logon Tickets

- SSO via X.509 (standard for Public Key Infrastructure)

- SSO via SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language)

- SSO via SAML2 also for XHR (ajax) - NEW for SPS 07

- SSO via Kerberos - NEW for SPS 07

- Outbound SSO via SAP Assertion Tickets - NEW for SPS 07


Other Miscellaneous XS New Features in SPS 07

XS JavaScript / XS Layer:

• Last-Modified header for static resources

• HTTP Compression

Overview: SAP HANA Native Content Lifecycle Management


Content lifecycle management in SAP HANAManaging “content” in SAP HANA

SAP HANA content defined: Not part of the core SAP HANA DB installation itself Is delivered by SAP as part of SAP HANA optimized solutions Is created in SAP HANA-based development projects (partner, customer) Sometimes called “objects” or “artifacts”

Content comprises all kinds of objects, for example: Schemas and table definitions Attribute views, analytic views and calculation views Procedures and privileges SQLScript, JavaScript and HTML Roles and permissions


Content lifecycle management in SAP HANAThe repository

The repository and lifecycle management of objects Native feature of SAP HANA providing “backend” functionality

for content lifecycle management Used to manage various types of design time objects (Content) During deployment/activation the design time objects become

runtime objects (Catalog)

Key functions provided by the repository: Object versioning Namespace concept Support for server-based development

SAP HANA Application Lifecycle Management (HALM)

Use cases

New SAP customers without ABAP-footprint

SAP customers with the need for a lightweight transport management

Simple and easy

Native SAP HANA transport tool, which can be used without additional systems

Lightweight and easy-to-use tool Easy setup and minimal

configuration effort

Constraints

No central management of extended system landscapes

No transport synchronization to non-HANA content

No integration in SAP process tools (ChaRM, QGM)

What’s New: SAP HANA Native Content Lifecycle Management


Change Tracking

• Optional mode for managing content in a promote-to-production system landscape (activate in HALM)

• Automatic recording of changes to a change list

• Allows a developer (or team) to work on a development artifact and release the “change” only when the artifact is ready to promote to the test system

• Provides more precise control over which objects get transported from the development system


SAP HANA Application Lifecycle Management: Home Screen

• Usability enhancement

• Easy navigation to key features

• Quick overview of transport information


SAP HANA Application Lifecycle Management: Dependency Viewer

• Graphical tool to display dependencies between Delivery Units

• Graphical depiction is interactive – can be rotated and shifted around to provide different perspectives

• Useful for determining which Delivery Units should be transported together

• Useful for detecting unwanted dependencies, in order to clean them up


SAP HALM: Create Application Wizard

• Wizard to expedite key initial steps in application development

• Creates design-time content artifacts automatically


More New HALM Features in SPS 07

• Tool support for transport of SAP HANA Changes (Change Tracking)

• Transport of SAP HANA products (all relevant Delivery Units and product definition)

• Improved system management (without additional logon)

• Object preview during plain file import

• Easier assignment for packages to Delivery Units

• HALM integration into SAP HANA Studio
