What’s New for SAP HANA Native Content Lifecycle Management in SPS 07

SAP HANA User Interface Integration Services: Overview and What’s New

Overview: SAP HANA Extended

Application Services (XS)


SAP HANA Extended Application Services (XS) Introduction

What: Small footprint application server / web server / basis

for an application development platform inside SAP HANA

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


Development model for SAP HANA based native applications

SAP HANA extended application services offer

Easy access to SAP HANA database via HTTP-based consumption

Attractive, dynamic HTML5 UI applications via OData services or by

writing native application-specific code that runs in SAP HANA context

Built-in web server to access static content stored in

SAP HANA repository

…and much more

Application development following a layered approach

UI rendering completely in the client (browser, mobile apps)

Server-side procedural logic in JavaScript

All artifacts stored in the SAP HANA repository

What’s New for XS in SPS 07


CDS/HDBDD Syntax Changes - Associations

• Associations define

relationships between

Entities (tables)

• Not yet integrated into the

catalog/SQL but can be

referenced when defining

views within the same CDS

object


CDS/HDBDD Syntax Changes - Views

• CDS syntax expands to

include the definition of

views

• Views can utilize the defined

associations between

entities

• Join type automatically

determined from association

definition of the entity


Inactive Testing

• Ability to execute the inactive version of xsjs,

xsodata, xsjslib, or any static web content

• Better support multiple developers working

on the same content at the same time as

they can test just their localized changes

• Requirements:

• Server must be running in developer_mode

• On the client side set a cookie name

sapXsDevWorkspace to the name of your

Repository workspace


Inactive Testing (continued)

• Ability to execute the inactive version of xsjs,

xsodata, xsjslib, or any static web content

• Better support multiple developers working

on the same content at the same time as

they can test just their localized changes

• Prerequisites:

• Server must be running in developer_mode

• On the client side set a cookie name

sapXsDevWorkspace to the name of your

Repository workspace


OData CRUD XSJS Exits

XSODATA

• Low coding OData REST service

generation framework

• Based upon existing tables and views

• CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete)

operations support with SQLScript exits

• New for SPS 07: Create, Update,

Delete exits support XSJS

OData JavaScript Exits

• Processing exits can reference xsjslib

files and specific JavaScript functions

• The database connection and

temporary tables with the before and

after values are passed to this

function

• Particularly useful for server-side

validations (but open for other use

cases too)


Other Miscellaneous OData Features New in SPS 07

• Annotations: e.g. sap:label, sap:unit, sap:text – available for use with texts for analytic views

• Associations between parameterized CalcViews

• Access to translatable parts of arbitrary runtime objects - support for translatable texts


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


Job Scheduling – XSJS API

• New Job extension to the

XSJS APIs

• Ability to programmatically

create and cancel jobs


Authentication for XS: New Options for SPS 07

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


Other Miscellaneous XS New Features in SPS 07

XS JavaScript / XS Layer:

• Last-Modified header for static resources

• HTTP Compression

Overview: SAP HANA Native

Content Lifecycle Management


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


Content lifecycle management in SAP HANA 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

• 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
