This is an appliance, a combination of hardware and software, to the in-memory technology that uses the opposite of the hard drive much faster accessible computer's memory for data storage, compared to the conventional applications allow using higher performance evaluations.

History

HANA was developed by SAP in collaboration with some customers, namely Coca- Cola Hellenic, the Future Group (an Indian operator of department store chains) and Hilti to scan large amounts of data efficiently. The appliance was the first time in spring 2010 introduced and used in November of the same year. From the manufacturer's point of view, the in-memory database is an important topic for the future, as well Snabe, Co-CEO of SAP, 2011 declared. Among the four main investment focus of the company is in the in-memory technology in 2011, the strongest growth was achieved. On 10 SAP announced in January 2013 that the core applications of SAP Business Suite are available based on HANA.

Method

With HANA different techniques both in software and in hardware area are combined. On the software side, a hybrid of the usual in-memory databases column-oriented working method and the conventional, common in relational databases row-oriented database technology used. On the hardware side is tried as the main memory by the CPU cache, and replacing the disk by the main memory in order to use each faster access times. By this method, performance benefits.

Use

Developed for business intelligence and business analytics applications appliance is used in the SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse and in BusinessObjects Strategic Workforce Planning.

SAP NetWeaver Application Server

(Redirected from SAP Web Application Server)

The SAP NetWeaver Application Server formerly SAP Web Application Server is part of SAP NetWeaver is the basis of most SAP products represents He divided (formerly SAP R/3-Basis) in an ABAP and a Java EE application server. Both parts (stacks) are both individually and collectively installed. In the case of an integrated installation (ABAP and Java, also known as double-stack) uses the Java stack, the user management of the ABAP stack. It also automatically communication links between the stacks are created. This is called Java connector, JCo abbreviated.

However, double-stack are (ABAP and JAVA with an SID) installations with a few exceptions (eg, SAP Solution Manager, SAP Process Integration). No longer supported by SAP provides current double-stack installations to a splitting tool with which you can separate those instances (eg for an upgrade).

The Application Server provides a runtime environment and middleware as for the corresponding ABAP or Java programming environment, which among other things takes over the access to the database and the operating system. So an ABAP or JAVA-/NetWeaver-Programm run independently of the database or operating system.

History of name

• SAP BASIS (up to 4.6D)
• SAP Web Application Server 6.20
• SAP Web Application Server 6.30 (ABAP + J2EE, innovation: separate database schema for the J2EE instance), not delivered

SAP     version supported JAVA version

6.20     1.3

6.40     1.3

7.0       1.4 (SAP JVM 4.1)

7.1       5 (SAP JVM 5)

7.2       5 (SAP JVM 5)

7.30     6 (SAP JVM 6)

This also includes the Web Dynpro technology for creating web front-ends as well as the proprietary SAP Open SQL for Java. It allows developers to SQL statements, regardless of the SAP Web Application Server underlying database systems write (or the individual database schemas).

SAP also provides the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, an Eclipse-based development environment) and base for many Java-based applications of SAP (eg SAP NetWeaver Portal)

To manage development environments is the NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI), consisting of the components Design Time Repository (administration of the source code), Component Build Service (central Build Service) and Change Management Service (Transportation of developments within a so-called Development Tracks).

Furthermore, the System Landscape Directory, the technical system landscape is managed including through a software catalog.

SAP Web Application Server ABAP / SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP

The SAP WebApplication Server ABAP and NetWeaver Application Server ABAP are the application server (and thus flow and development environment) for SAP's ABAP programming language and the applications written in it. The server is a direct descendant of the SAP basis, in turn, the severed technical components (abstraction of the database system, operating system and network, development environment, transport, etc.) corresponds to the SAP R / 3 taken (to be exact, plus the cross-module functional components, which are in R / 3 are to be found). Therefore, it is the foundation for many SAP applications (such as SAP ERP, specifically the component SAP ECC) There is support for Web services, particularly through integration of ITS. Furthermore, there is support for Adobe Print Forms and Adobe Forms Offline.

Both servers use the Enqueue Server for centralized management of logical locks, during the execution of transactions, and the message server for the cluster administration and distribution of requests.

Administration

• Transactions via the SAP GUI (only ABAP)
• Profile files (ABAP and Java)
• Database Administration (ABAP and Java), database system-dependent
• Visual Administrator (Java, when you start the application server to Version 7.1)
• Configtool (Java, even when stopped application server)
• Netweaver Administrator (Java, administrator web interface since NW04 SPS12, instead of Visual Administrator from 7.2)
• System Landscape Directory (including the care of interconnected systems, software components and namespaces)
• JCo - for connecting Web Dynpro applications with SAP R / 3 systems
• CMS (Java, means of transport landscape for developments)
• SAP Solution Manager (separate system of administration)

Operation (web access)

Requests (requests) to the SAP Web Application Server can HTML-based pages that were created with the help of Web Dynpro, XML-based messages, Web services, or a number of other sources received.

SAP Application Server accepts the information from these requests and passes it to Java or ABAP-based applications that run within the server. These programs can then process the received data. Here, tools and components to be used to support special features such as workflow, archiving, etc. The application server queries and stores data using Open SQL. This enables the development of unique software that supports all major database vendors alike.

Prerequisites

Databases:

• Oracle
• DB2

These environments are valid for six weeks and can be renewed.
