SAP HANA - Additional Components


SAP HANA - Additional Components

In addition to the SAP HANA database, the following components are part of the SAP HANA landscape:
• SAP HANA information composer
• Lifecycle Management Tools
• Unified Installer
• SAP HANA UI toolkit for INA



SAP HANA Information Composer


 The SAP HANA information composer is a Web application that allows you to upload and manipulate
data on the SAP HANA database.
The SAP HANA information composer uses a Java server which interacts with the SAP HANA database.
The Java server communicates with the SAP HANA information composer client via HTTP or HTTPS.
The following ports are used by default:
• HTTP port 8080
• HTTPS port 8443

If HTTPS is used, the SSL certification must be configured by the administrator.

Note:
The SAP HANA information composer can be configured to use antivirus software.
The SAP HANA information composer client is accessible to users who are assigned the IC_MODELER
role. This role allows users to upload new content into the SAP HANA database and to create physical
tables and calculation views.
When content is marked as shared, it is accessible from users who are assigned the IC_PUBLIC role.
By default, the physical tables and calculation views are marked as private. This means that they are
only visible to the user who created them. Calculation views are created by user _SYS_REPO in schema
_SYS_BIC within the column Views.

The physical tables and calculation views can be shared with users who are assigned the IC_PUBLIC
role. The IC_PUBLIC role is included in the IC_MODELER role.
The created calculation view inherits the analytical privileges of the source data that is being used.
Objects that are based on user data (spreadsheets) have no analytical privileges.
The technical user SAP_IC is created during installation. After completing the installation, SAP_IC is
locked.

Note:
As long as the SAP HANA information composer is in use, the SAP_IC user must not be deleted because
otherwise, the IC_MODELER and IC_PUBLIC roles will also be deleted.



Lifecycle Management Tools

You can access the Lifecycle Management Tools from the "Lifecycle Management" perspective of SAP HANA studio. 
The Software Update Manager (SUM), which is part of the Lifecycle Management Tools, can be used to update the components of your SAP HANA installation.

 To work properly, the SUM needs credentials for the following users:
• sapadm – used to authenticate to SAP Host Agent
• adm – required by SAP HANA database server update
• SAP Service Marketplace user – used to authenticate to SAP Service Marketplace
The SUM for SAP HANA communicates with the following components:
• SAP HANA studio
• SAP Service Marketplace
• SAP Host Agent
All these channels use encryption via HTTPS. For communication with the SAP HANA studio, the SUM
for SAP HANA opens the server ports 8080 and 8443.

Unified Installer

The SAP HANA Unified Installer is a tool to install the SAP HANA appliance software in a single, unified
and predefined way. It is designed to be used by the SAP HANA hardware partners within their factory
process.

SAP HANA UI Toolkit for INA

The SAP HANA UI toolkit provides UI building blocks for developing search-based applications on SAP
HANA. Such applications provide real-time information access (INA) and faceted search features on
huge volumes of structured and unstructured text data.

SAP HANA Introduction

SAP HANA:The future of database technology The capacity of main memory in servers has continuously increased over the years, whereas prices have dramatically dropped. Today, a single enterprise class server can hold several  terabytes of main memory. At the same time, prices for server main memory dramatically  dropped over the last few decades. This increase in capacity and reduction in cost makes it a  viable approach to keep huge amounts of business data in memory. This section discusses  the benefits and challenges. In few words you can understand SAP HANA plus  analyzing this evaluation: Typical access speeds Disk     4,000,000 ns Memory         0.4 ns Speed   10,000,000 Falling prices move processing from Disk/SSD to In-Memory In-Memory Computing The elements of In-Memory computing are not new. However, dramatically improved hardware economics and  technology innovations in software has now made it possible for SAP to deliver on its vision of the
