Rationale: Enable application development and deployment
while minimizing architectural “layers”
 Create apps that have an http-based UI (browser, mobile apps)
 Apps run directly on SAP HANA, w/o additional external servers or
components
-> simplified system architecture = low TCO
 Tight integration w/ SAP HANA DB -> best possible performance
Scope: wide range of apps
 Lightweight small web-based applications
 Complex enterprise business applications

SAP HANA
Client
Development model for SAP HANA based native applications

Authentication for XS
XS Authentication Options:
- Basic Authentication
- Form-based authentication
- SSO (Single-Sign On) via SAP Logon Tickets
- SSO via X.509 (standard for Public Key Infrastructure)
- SSO via SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language)
- SSO via SAML2 also for XHR (ajax) - NEW for SPS 07
- SSO via Kerberos - NEW for SPS 07
- Outbound SSO via SAP Assertion Tickets - NEW for SPS 07

Job Scheduling
• HANA now contains a Job
Scheduler which can run
XSJS and SQLScript
• New Development artifact:
XSJOB
• Extension to the Admin tool
to maintain job definitions
and view job logs

Job Scheduling – XSCRON syntax
• CRON-like syntax for
controlling job timings and
repetitions

Content lifecycle management in SAP HANA
Managing “content” in SAP HANA
SAP HANA content defined:
 Not part of the core SAP HANA DB installation itself
 Is delivered by SAP as part of SAP HANA optimized solutions
 Is created in SAP HANA-based development projects (partner, customer)
 Sometimes called “objects” or “artifacts”
Content comprises all kinds of objects, for example:
 Schemas and table definitions
 Attribute views, analytic views and calculation views
 Procedures and privileges
 SQLScript, JavaScript and HTML
 Roles and permissions

The repository
The repository and lifecycle management of objects
 Native feature of SAP HANA providing “backend” functionality
for content lifecycle management
 Used to manage various types of design time objects (Content)
 During deployment/activation the design time objects become
runtime objects (Catalog)
Key functions provided by the repository:
 Object versioning
 Namespace concept
 Support for server-based development

SAP HANA Application Lifecycle Management (HALM)
Use cases
 New SAP customers
without ABAP-footprint
 SAP customers with the
need for a lightweight
transport management
Simple and easy
 Native SAP HANA transport tool,
which can be used without
additional systems
 Lightweight and easy-to-use tool
 Easy setup and minimal
configuration effort
Constraints
 No central management of
extended system landscapes
 No transport synchronization
to non-HANA content
 No integration in SAP
process tools (ChaRM, QGM)

Change Tracking
• Optional mode for managing content in
a promote-to-production system
landscape (activate in HALM)
• Automatic recording of changes to a
change list
• Allows a developer (or team) to work
on a development artifact and release
the “change” only when the artifact is
ready to promote to the test system
• Provides more precise control over
which objects get transported from the
development system

SAP HANA Studio Development
Perspective

Goal: Provide an extensible and
integrated development environment
supporting all development artifacts
necessary for building a HANA
application, covering development,
testing, debugging, supportability and
lifecycle management. As new and
existing technologies are being integrated
into HANA, a seamless integration of
the corresponding external tools in the
HANA Development Workbench should
be possible.
Target customer: HANA Application
Developer (Internal and external
developers). Including content
development scenarios.

• Utilizes standard Eclipse projects – HANA
Specific, General SAP Projects, and even
3rd party ones

• Standard Eclipse Team Provider interface
for storing all objects into the SAP HANA
Repository

• HANA Specific Editors and
Debugger Enhancements (for
example: XSJS – Server Side
JavaScript)

SAP HANA Studio Development
Perspective Workflow

Create a new Eclipse Project from within SAP HANA Studio

This is a “true” Eclipse Project persisted on the developers local
machine

The project is then linked to the SAP HANA Repository

After linked to a Repository, specific HANA packages are added as
folders

The SAP HANA Repository is then treated like Git or Perforce and
Eclipse checks out the content for editing

There is also an SAP HANA Repository Browser – entire projects
can be checked out from there as well

The Repository content is copied to the developer’s machine and
edited locally and offline

Standard Eclipse editors as well as special SAP provided editors
are then utilized

Upon saving in any Eclipse editor, a commit back to the SAP HANA
Repository is done automatically

Full source merge, rebase, conflict resolution, and version
management is built in

Changes are inactive when first committed; inactive testing is
supported as of SP7

We also have direct interaction with other Eclipse based tools (such
as ABAP Development Tools and SAPUI5)

SAP HANA Browser Based
Development Tools

SAP HANA Web-based Development Workbench
• SP6 introduced two
separate browser based
IDEs
• SP7 merges both of
these back together into
a single application with
three sub-tools:

Overview
What?
SQLScript is
 An interface for applications to access SAP HANA
 Extension of ANSI Standard SQL
 Language for creating stored procedures in HANA
 Declarative Logic
 SELECT queries
 Calculation Engine(CE) functions
 Orchestration Logic
 Data Definition Language(DDL)
 Data Manipulation Language(DML)
 Assignment & imperative logic

Overview
Why?
Main goal is to allow the execution of data intensive calculations inside SAP HANA
Two reasons why this is required to achieve the best performance:
 Eliminate data transfer between database & application tiers
 Calculations need to be executed in the database layer to get the maximum benefit from SAP HANA
features such as fast column operations, query optimization and parallel execution.

Overview
Advantages
Compared to plain SQL queries, SQLScript has the following advantages:
 Returns multiple results, while a SQL query returns only one result set
 Complex logic can be broken down into smaller chunks of code. Enables modular programming,
reuse and a better understandability by functional abstraction. For structuring complex queries,
standard SQL only allows the definition of SQL views. However, SQL views have no parameters
 SQLScript supports local variables for intermediate results with implicitly defined types. With
standard SQL, it would be required to define globally visible views even for intermediate steps
 SQL Script has control logic such as if/else that is not available in SQL

Overview
Parallel Processing
SELECT statements are executed in parallel unless:
 Any local scalar parameters and variables are used in the procedure
 Any read/write procedures or DML/DDL operations are executed
 Any imperative logic is used within the procedure, such as IF statements of FOR loops
 Any SQL statements are used that are not assigned to a intermediate variable or parameter

 “Stored Procedure” under “Database
Development”
 Two file formats
 .hdbprocedure is the new artifact type
which will be the recommended file
format moving forward.
 .procedure is still supported, but has
been deprecated and eventually will be
removed.
Wizard, Editor & Viewer
Stored Procedure Wizard

Procedure Templates
 Create procedure templates(.proceduretemplate file)
 Template parameters can be used as placeholders
 Consumable from Stored Procedure wizard dialog,
currently only supported by .procedure file format

 Procedures based on templates inherit the template parameters
 Changes to templates are reflected in the consuming procedures
Procedure Templates

Editor Integration with SAP HANA Development Perspective
 Source code based editor
 Client side syntax checking
 Code hints
 Syntax highlighting

Procedure Code Breakdown
 Schema definition – developer can define which schema in which the run-time object of the
procedure will be created

 Package hierarchy and procedure name – contains the complete package hierarchy as well as the
name of the procedure, separated by double colon(::)

 Input/output parameter definition – developer can define both input parameters with default values as
well as output parameters. Parameters can reference simple types, or global types defined via CDS

 Metadata declarations: developer can set language(SQLScript/R), security(invoker/definer),
default schema and read/write access

 Script body – developer writes the body of the script between the BEGIN and END statements

 Procedures in the catalog can now be viewed in the SQLScript editor in read-only mode.
 Allows for setting/removing of breakpoints within the runtime object.

WHERE clause to SELECT statements
 Both database tables and intermediate
table variables are supported

Exception Handling
 Allows developer to handle SQL errors gracefully
 For example, handle duplicate insertion and pass message to caller

Cursors
 Allows developers to iterate over a result set and perform row-based processing and calculations.

User Defined Functions
Overview
Language used within the body is SQLScript, no other languages are supported
Functions are read-only, side effect free
Two types:

• A development environment for rapidly building complete SAP HANA native applications
– Professional Developers (initial focus)
– Casual Developers
 Integrated program specification of the data model, business code and access control
enables accelerated development
 River interoperates and cross-compiles into native HANA objects
(tables, views, procedures …)
 The data model only exists in the data-base,
no ODBC-like connection, data copying or ORM

}
entity Flight {
…
flightSeats: Association[0..*] to Seat via backlink flight;
action GetEmptySeats() : Seat [] {
return select * from this.flightSeats
where Seat.seatStatus = SeatStatus.free;
}
}
this
 Actions describe the application's business logic
– Local variables (scalar, streams)
– Control statements (if, foreach, apply…)
– Integrated SQL queries

Extended queries
entity Seat {
flight: Association to Flight;
seatNum: SeatNum;
}
entity Flight {
…
flightSeats: Association[0..*] to Seat via backlink flight;
action GetEmptySeats() : Seat [] {
return select * from this.flightSeats
where Seat.Status = SeatStatus.free;
}
}
– Use entity associations naturally in queries:
extending SQL!
=
__temp16 = select T1. … from Flights as T0
inner join "flights.Seat" as T1
on (T0."flightId" = "T0:flightSeats"."flight.flightId")
where "FlightId" = 12345;
__retval__ = select T2. … from :__temp16 as T2 where T2."seatStatus" = 'free';
__FlightId Status

Access control
role Dispatcher;
entity Flight {

depDate: LocalDate;
depTime: LocalTime;
flightSeats : Association[0..*] to Seat via
backlink flight;
}
action OpenNewFlight() accessible by Dispatcher {
…
}
entity Seat {
……
action save() accessible by Flight;
…
 Define roles
 CRUD and call access privileges
 Assign run-time users to roles
