HA300 SAP HANA 2.0 SPS07 Modeling

Course announcements

This course teaches the core capabilities of SAP HANA for calculation view modeling, and covers mainly graphical modeling, as well as SQL- based modeling (table functions and procedures) with a focus on performance. It also introduces core data services as a flexible method to model a persistence layer.

The participants will gain knowledge about the management of modeling content in the SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA, and the key principles of object and data access security in a modeling context.

This course will prepare you to:

• Develop information models following SAP best practices for maximum performance and flexibility
• Get started with SQL and SQLScript based modeling
• Manage projects and modeling content in the Web IDE
• Implement security and data access controls around SAP HANA data models
• Get started with advanced data processing such as text, spatial, predictive and graph
