Clone and deploy the Calculation Views for SAP ECC Operational Reporting and import test data to consume from SAP Analytics Cloud

You will learn

  • How to import and deploy the template calculation views into SAP HANA using SAP Web IDE
  • How to remove the pre-built artifacts for Smart Data Integration to explore the templates using the test data

Prerequisites

This tutorial cannot currently be completed with a trial account.

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

Step 2: Remove data replication artifacts

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 4: Install Information Access

If you are using a productive instance of the SAP HANA Service, 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 Cloud Foundry stack in SAP Cloud Platform.

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.
