Prerequisites

If you would like to deploy the SAP HANA Operational Reporting Templates for SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) including the artifacts to integrate with an SAP ERP Central Component system, refer to the instructions in the repository

>**This tutorial cannot currently be completed with a trial account.**

  • Step 1

    Right-click on the workspace in SAP Web IDE and choose Git -> Clone Repository

    Clone repo

    Enter the following repository:

    text
    Copy
    https://github.com/SAP-samples/hana-xsa-live-reporting
    Clone repo

    If you are using the SAP BTP trial and get the error No hdi-shared plan available found in this space, switch to the EU10 region. Check this blog post for instructions on changing the region.
    Right-click on the repository and choose Project -> Project Settings to change the space where it is deployed

    Clone repo

    If you get an error, stating version 2.0.2.0 (installed) is incompatible with 2.0.40.0 in the SAP BTP trial account, change the plugin version in the hidden file .hdiconfig

    Clone repo

  • Step 2

    This repository includes virtual tables and flowgraphs to replicate data from an SAP ECC system. You will use the sample data instead.

    If you want to deploy the replication artifacts, you will need to configure cross-container access. Follow the instructions in the README file in the repository

    Remove the artifacts related to replication. Right-click on db/src/loads_CONFIGURE_ME and delete it.

    Delete replication

    Remove the folder db/cfg_CONFIGURE_ME

    Delete replication
  • Step 3

    Right-click on the db folder and choose Build.

    Build module

    The build log should show a successful deployment. You can scroll up to check for any errors.

    Build module

    After successful deployment, you can preview the data in each of the models. For example:

  • Step 4

    If you are using a productive instance of the SAP HANA service for SAP BTP, you can use the Information Access (InA) protocol to connect with SAP Analytics Cloud or other reporting tools using the HTTP protocol for live connections.

    Use these instructions to deploy the XS Advanced HANA Analytics Adapter into the SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry environment.

    When configuring the connection from SAP Analytics Cloud, call it HANALIVE.

    Note: For on-premise SAP HANA systems or SAP HANA, express edition, follow the instructions in this series of blog posts instead.

    Once connected you can continue by creating reports in SAC to consume the Calculation Views deployed in earlier steps.
