Language Dependency in Design Studio - With BW Data Sources

In recent experience, I found that when we are using BW data sources then it display an error if OLAP connection language is set different from BW system.

For example -

I tried to change connection for this SAP Design Studio application and received following error:



When I checked the backend connection in Preferences of SAP Design Studio then I found it is using language IE


I checked Design Studio administrator guide and there were some hints to language dependency


I found that the user language settings in BW was different from what I configured in OLAP connection

BW



OLAP Connection



So I changed the language in OLAP connection in Information Design Tool to match BW system. Later, the error was gone and I was able to change data source. Once it is changed the it should appear as follows:

SAP HANA Input Parameter - Derived from Table - Use Expression in Filter Value

Image
Recently, I have experienced something while modeling HANA information view that I want to share with everyone.  Case:  Dynamic Filter for projection with current Fiscal Year and Fiscal Period.  Method: There are different parameter types that we can use to do this. I decided to use following "Derived from table" type as shown below:  Challenge: When filtering column then it displays list of values from the same HANA information view and we can select the date. Now, as the requirement is current Fiscal Year and Period so how do we filter the column to dynamically select current date in "Filter Value" section? Solution: Like everyone, I expected it to understand the expression. So I tried following and it worked. I used the expression  currentdate() I was aware that I could use expression in the "Default Value" section (as explained in SAP HANA Developer Guide) but didn't expect it to work in ...

SLT Replication Issue Due To Timeout Reading Logging Tables

In our company we use SAP LT (Landscape Transformation) replication server to replicate tables from SAP ECC system to SAP HANA in real time. SLT creates trigger for each table that we want to replicate and whenever there is change it stores the changes in the logging table. Later on, these tables are used to update replicated tables in SAP HANA.    This system is really useful when you really need real time replication to SAP HANA. However, it also causes performance issue if proper monitoring is not being performed. Just recently, we faced an issue where we were trying to replicate a large table "VBFA" to SAP HANA in production environment. Every time table replicate status changes to "ERROR" after the initial load. It started to fail when ever SLT tries to read change/delta stored in logging table. This tables replication worked fine in DEV and QA environment.   After troubleshooting and taking help from SAP support we found that in the program g...

Using Application Function Modeler To Create Forecast (APL) Procedure in SAP HANA

Image
In this blog or document, I have shared my experience gained while creating forecast procedure using following features of SAP HANA: APL (Automated Predictive Library) Forecast Function Application Function Modeler (AFM) I haven't seen any convincing blog which promotes this feature of SAP HANA. Personally, I believe it is really good feature for people with beginner or no SQL scripting skills as AFM is graphical tool. However, the end result is a procedure which can be used later for different purpose. I created this forecast procedure based on the use case provided by  Forefront Analytics . The use case instructed to use APL forecast function. The input dataset was provided by Forefront Analytics . I started my research on APL and my main focus was time series function i.e. " Forecast ". I learnt about APL installation and different APL functions as I progressed. I discovered about AFM when I was watching SAP Technology videos as part of my APL research.  I have...
