What is CDS
CDS stands for Core Data Services, it is an extension of SQL.
DDL – Data Definition Language – CREATE, ALTER, DROP
DQL – CDS Views – Data Query Language – (semantically rich-data model, expressions)
DCL – Data Control Language – CDS Security
OData – Open Data Protocol, it is used to expose data over http using REST principles.

Introduction on SAP HANA
SAP HANA is an in-memory database. It is different from traditional database because those systems relies on DBMS, which
keeps all the data to HDD.
HANA –High Performance ANalytical Appliance (HW + SW)
HANA Express – 16 GB
Primary Memory Secondary Memory

CPU
RAM HDD
OS / Kernels
8084 – 8bit 16bit
1 ins per sec
MOV A,B, ADD A
64 bit

What made HANA possible?
Hardware:
• Reduction in memory cost
• Able to fabricate more memory in small space
• Able to composite multiple cpu cores on a single blade
• Faster throughput times
• Powerful backup system
Software Innovation
OS are now capable of submitting high no of instructions to CPU, CPU can process them in parallel
Higher Compression of data
The way we store = Row Store, with HANA the default store is Column Store
Calculate Aggregations on fly

Row v/s Column
OR 0001 X MAT1 10 560 USD OR 0001 X MAT2 10 800 USD OR 0001 Y MAT1 10 950 USD
OR 0001 Z MATD 20 1750 USD OR 0001 Z MAT2 10 780 USD OR 0001 D MATX 10 1800 USD
TOTAL SALES
Row Store – traversing all the records and cells
Give me all records and all columns
Good
Was there any program you have ever written which needed all records and all columns = MARA
Accessing Few Columns

Calculating totals, max, min..
We used to create indexes – They again duplicate the data PK RowNo

You need more storage to access this data

Column Store
10 560 USD
X 10 800 USD
OR – Y – 2,3 10 950 USD
0001 – 1,2,3,4,5,6
1,2,3,4,5,6 Z – 4,5 20 1750 USD
D 10 780 USD
10 1800 USD
1. It is possible to aggregate the data much faster because we don’t have to traverse through all columns.
2. Column store every tiny column is itself an index – Significantly reduce memory footprint I am gonna
3. No need to store these aggregates in another table, it is possible to calculate the aggregate (SUM, MIN, MAX, delete 5
COUNT) on-fly. Which means you can give real-time picture.
4. Compression – Less memory requirement,
Much faster rather comparing chars
5. Parallel processing – Each column can be processed by one core of CPU
6. Insert only approach
Buy Hardware from SAP Certified vendors – IBM, HP, AWS, GCP, Azure
In-memory Computing Engine - HANA
What are guidelines to choose Row v/s Column
Row Store Column Store
• If there is a table which needs to be Updated frequently • Read very frequently

but not read frequently • If you need few column in Select
• You always reading all columns SELECT * • Many Non-unique values, Data is repeating
• Large no of unique values • You want to do aggregates
• Less restricted • Analytics

Question
Is HANA Studio same as Eclipse
Can I run abap code on hana studio also
What is the cost of hana studio
HANA Studio is a modified version of eclipse. Eclipse IDE is a development tool like any other tools like SAPGUI. We can do
HANA development + ABAP development both on Eclipse also and HANA Studio also.
1. You can install the Eclipse in your local computer – Connect to ABAP system
2. You can connect to RDP – This system has HANA Studio and SAPGUI pre-installed for you.
*You can connect to HANA Box using RDP only but ABAP system you can connect from your local computer eclipse

1. Is old stuff still valid, what will happen to my old code, will it still work
when we move to NW7.4.
Yes
2. Can is still write code as we learnt in old
Application layer Yes
Netweaver – Technical platform on which 3. Why should I switch to new code?
all SAP Applications and Solutions are More advance version of coding
based upon It has a little performance improvement
NW 7.5x Follows industry best practices
>= 7.4 onwards 4. Classification of syntax
4.1 Classical ABAP coding
4.2 SQL Logic
5. Are SF, Scripts, BADI, BAPI, SPRO, WF – S/4HANA On-premise > 90%
Yes
HANA Sp06

Classical ABAP coding
1. Now we can specify comma separated column list inside SQL query.
2. If you are using comma separated column list, we must use the escaping of host variable. Only applicable for SELECT query.
3. Data declaration, field symbol declaration is now possible inline – inline data declaration in abap
You can declare variables while on the go.
4. Object creation we also have new syntax – create objects of class.
Data(lo_object) = new className( ).
Funda Fox
( ) - parenthesis itab 1,2,3,4,5…
{ } – braces, curly braces
[ ] – bracket
Object
5. New way to process data of an internal table using object traversal
6. Value Expression – now you can create structures and tables at runtime, w/o separate declarations. – value #
7. Reading an internal table made easy using table expression
8. String Expression – allows us to avoid using concatenate, printing a single quote ‘’’’

SQL Side what has been improved
2. Now you can add RIGHT 1. Improved the abstraction layer

OUTER JOIN also in ABAP which converts query to native
ABAP
Language SQL, especially when its HANA,
Open SQL
3. No. of Joins also increased SAP knows how to prepare
to > 20 optimized query to HANA

Which is the DB I am
connected
Native SQL
Database
Oracle  DB2  MaxDB

Writing SQL in Better way
1. Case statement in SQL
1.1 Simple Case
1.2 Expression Case
2. We can now use the aggregation functions (SUM, COUNT, MIN, MAX, AVG) inside having clause.
4. New functions like CEIL, FLOOR, COEALEASE..
5. Arithmetic expressions inside SQL queries
Funda fox:
Whenever we use aggregation functions, the columns which are not participating in agg. Functions must be added at the end
of query as GROUP BY clause.

A  B – Just Changing the Database from RDBMS  HANA DB
What will happen to my custom code when we migrate to HANA DB, How do you prove that nothing will be affected.
It is just like any other DB migration.
1. Any Native SQL queries written in ABAP will not work EXEC SQL…END EXEC, OPEN CURSOR, DB Interfaces to fire Native
SQL, these things will not work. Oracle
Select ROWNO from DBTAB Every table has a predefined HANA
column ROWNO
2. If you query data from db, in unsorted form, and later we are doing operations like binary search or delete adjacent
duplicates, these operations will produce bad results.

We sat on one weekend with whole of my team and did performance_db check on entire package. We have got 14,399
findings which can cause potential performance issues.
We have go live next week, my manager asked me, which of them you would like to fix first, give me a feasible plan with
details.
What you should focus? – critical ones? – How do you present a feasible ideal plan(worklist) to your manager?
WHAT USED THE MOST IS WHAT WE SHOULD FIX THE FIRST
Which system will you do that check?
Production system is where users are using your sol. You will get
Real statistics when you do in production.
6000 concurrent users at a time
50k requests per min
130k ABAP statems executed every min
140B records are modified every week
How to find what is used the most?

SQLM – Do performance check and find expensive queries – SQL monitor tool
SWLT – SQL Performance Worklist Tool to find prioritize list of action items
How to find what is used the most?
ST05 & SAT – Runtime analysis – Cause overhead on system because it collects huge data, slows down over all system
STAD & ST03 – System level tools used by basis teams to get aggregated performance, only high level performance not drill
down report.
ST04 – SQL Trace – Traces gives you comprehensive data but it cannot tell the entry points.
Problem Statement
We want to use a tool which cause no/min system overhead and I can run the same in production system.
Goal
1. Finding the most expensive Request Entry point (Transaction Code, Report, FM,) in terms of DB cost
2. In these entry points which SQL query dominates the SQL profile

Job Profile : Account Receivable Accountant
Mr. Jems is an account receivable accountant in your company, he is an owner of BMW X3, he like skiing and sailing an full of
life person. A happy father of 2 girls, living in a quite place in down town.
Cash plays a very crucial role in success of a company and running the business, it is in the
best interest of the company to collect the pending cash of unpaid invoices on timely
manner from the customer. By putting this cash back into the pipeline of the business
company can make more profits and achieve the goals.
Mr. Jems who is account receivable accountant in the co. whose job is to manage the
collection of the cash from the customers of unpaid invoice. He typically comes to office
and spend his time in doing following activities
• Search for the unpaid invoices
• Arrange them
• Find the most critical ones which are not yet paid
• Organize them based on their risks (by threshold – amount OR time)
• In relation to that Mr. Jems will finally classify customer and perform dunning
Mr. jems has a direct say to CIO and has contacts upto CEO level. Your manager also afraid of him.
OIA – Open Item Analysis
Find out the total due amount and avg. no of days since the amount is due per customer. This has to be in common currency.

Planning and Break down
1. Create a DB table which contains the customizing – Threshold and Curr – ZDP_CUST
2. How long on avg. an invoice(s) per customer are pending
• Invoices which are not yet paid – snwd_so_inv_head – where PAYMENT_STATUS = ‘’ Takt 1
• Calculate the average days since when invoices are pending (Today – Last Change date)
• Formula for avg – Total / Count 2,3,4,5  2+3+4+5 / 4
• Also get The customer information SNWD_BPA
3. Change the total GROSS_AMOUNT of unpaid invoices in common currency
• Invoice header data again for unpaid invoices
• Go to line item level and get amounts of each line item (which can be in different currencies) Takt 2
• Apply the currency conversion
• Total Gross amount which will be in a common currency
• Join data with Business Partners (SNWD_BPA)
4. Classifying the customers based on their threshold levels
5. Dunning
6. Check sales history of the customer….

SAP HANA based approaches
How ABAP is meeting HANA technically,
What happens when you create an table, structure, ddic in SE11 how and where the object is persisted in HANA.
When we create a program in abap/ create a table in ABAP where do we store it?
Package – collection of your artifacts, folder where all our development objects are stored. – DESIGN TIME OBJECT
Grouping, Transport
When we activate a runtime object gets created in DB.

This will be then created in underlaying db (3rd layer) – RUNTIME OBJECT
SE11

Content and Catalog
Content in HANA is a collection of all the packages. Each package will contain the design time object (definition), when we
activate a runtime object will be created.
Schema is a container of All the DB objects (runtime object), it is the ultimate home of all the DB objects like tables,
structures, procedures , function. Schema it self is a db object which is MANDATORY. On this planet if there is a DB, it is
impossible that will not have atleast one schema. In HANA, we can see all the schemas in Catalog section.
Database is collection of schema.
https://help.sap.com/viewer/product/SAP_HANA_PLATFORM/2.0.04/en-US
Funda Fox
• When we create a new User in HANA, a schema with same name as user name will be created for that user in HANA,
and all the authorizations will be automatically granted to the user itself.
• A package in HANA is a collection of design time object, it serves 3 purpose
1. Grouping of development content
2. Control who can develop in a particular package – security
3. Package provides a namespace for the artifacts, suppose we create a view with name called V_MARA, your friend in
SAP HANA can also create a view with same name as V_MARA provided he/she developing in other package. When
the runtime object is created, the name of runtime object contains PACKAGE_NAME/OBJECTNAME
• Now we can create a table MARA though sap also ship mara provided its part of our package, sap deliver their objects
in their package.
Data Model / Information Model / HANA Views
Data of an ERP system is distributed across multiple tables, In order to takeout some meaningful results from HANA, we need
to combine these tables together. As a technical consultants, you can write ABAP reports with complex SQL but it has
following dis-advantages
• Since we are writing ABAP queries, these queries are submitted to the DB and then results are obtained, this leads to
traffic between ABAP and HANA layer.
• It becomes so complex to write such queries and needs High technical knowledge
• A person with Domain knowledge with out SQL knowledge should be able to also model data
Concepts of Modeling
Allows us to develop data models using tables and other models and produce desired data out of HANA system, The best part
is we can develop these models w/o any technical SQL knowledge. These models are created, stored and transported in

Master Data – changes rarely – data used to create transactions – e.g. products, materials, vendors, suppliers, customers
Transaction data – Changes very frequently – SO, PO, Billing, INV, Ledger entries, ….
Asset of a company like Products, Employees, Partners

All of them are called dimensions.
Employee – No. of Hours, Salary, Defect, Amount of code, Bonus
Sales – Revenue, profit, loss, cost
Payroll – Taxes, Hours Spend, Expenses, Paystubs

View?
1. Hiding the complexity of query
2. Security
Attribute View
The purpose of att. View is to expose master data. Because its processed by the
Join Engine in HANA. Typically to obtain master data we would do a join between
tables.
• It is mandatory to have at least one key column defined to attr. View

Types of joins in SAP HANA
8 types of Joins in HANA
• Referential Join
• Text Join – Is used when we want to join a table with its corresponding text table. This join allows to make a relation
inclusive of logon language.
• Inner Join – Join when both the tables have records with a common key this is called a foreign key. When we apply this join
the view always return the dependent records between both tables. If there are no matching records, system will produce
null.
• Left Outer Join – It is the output of inner join and records from the left side table even the corresponding records not
existing in right side table.
• Right Outer Join - It is the output of inner join and records from the right side table even the corresponding records not
existing in left side table.
• Temporal Join – join which is applied when we are joining tables with time dimension (M* tables).
• Spatial Join – Used to join coordinates.
• Star Join – Used to join 2 star schemas, this join can only be used in calculation views.
Referential Join V/S Inner Join

In context of HANA Views, Inner Join is a guaranteed join it is going to compare 2 tables based on the join conditions and then
returns the values. A Referential join is a SMART Inner Join, Whether the join will be applied or Not at Runtime, it depends on
SELECT Query you pass. The Join will be pruned (ignore) if the data is not selected from both tables.

Analytic Views
Are used in cases when we want to develop star schema, we would like to join master data with transaction data to evaluate
the analytic outcomes e.g. total sales per product, per customer, avg days of open invoice. These views are processed by OLAP
engine in HANA. Also it gives an option to perform currency conversion.
My co. has so many sales orders, I want to find what are all the sales order line items and sales per customer, per product.
• Which product Sold the most in the co.
• Which is my top prio customer
• Which country gives me highest sales
• Which is the top sales making currency
It is mandatory to mark at least one measure (numeric).

ADBC View Proxies Mr. X  CDS Views (S/4HANA)

ABAP Database A option which works on top down approach
Connectivity rather bottom-up approach.

ADBC – ABAP Database Connectivity
ABAP provides us an ABAP Object based interface to talk to DB directly. This is used in cases we are below NW 7.4
SP2 specially and you want to consume HANA views (also in side car scenario).
Cl_sql_connection
Disadvantages of ADBC approach?

• Cannot debug the SQL statement feeded to HANA
• So error analysis becomes difficult
• Complex for Non-programmers
• No intermediate result

Disadvantages (HANA view must exists)
1. Both the ABAP layer and HANA layer Transports must be in sync.
2. Lifecycle challenges w.r.t. synchronization of these objects
3. So much confusion, so many things, error prone Quality

Disadvantages of IM in HANA
1. We cannot debug the IM, we can check the logs (activations).
2. In complex requirements, the decomposition of solution is not possible.
3. There is no possibility to write any control flow logic, orchestration logic inside the view IF…ELSE, LOOPS
4. SQL queries written on these views always return one result, if want to chain the results, you have to use sub queries and
becomes cumbersome at times.
5. Not possible to handle the imperative logic
6. Also the desired performance of the views cannot be achieved
SQL Script
One of the best technique to achieve code-to-data paradigm, allows developers to write more complicated logic which is not
possible with simple views in HANA. This helps us to squeeze the best performance out of HANA DB, This is DB programming
language.
SQL script is a collection of extensions to SQL (DDL, DML, DQL, DCL). The purpose of SQL Script is to provide the procedural
capabilities to SQL. It allows developers to write data intensive logic inside the heart of DB.
https://help.sap.com/viewer/de2486ee947e43e684d39702027f8a94/2.0.04/en-US

Types of Statements
Declarative Logic Imperative Logic

Data Flow logic Orchestration logic
(Pure SQL – Sequence of DQLs) (IF,ELSE,LOOP,WHILE,FOR)
Code gets converted to a Data flow graph HANA will never process this logic in parallel
There is a strong chance that HANA will process this type of
logic in parallel

Preview of Data Flow Logic/Declarative Logic
--Q1 result
Lt_products = SELECT * from SNWD_PD where price > 10000;
--Q2
Lt_sales = SELECT * from snwd_so where product_id in (
Q4
SELECT pid from lt_products );
--Q3
Lt_purchase = SELECT * from snwd_po where product_id in (
Select Pid from lt_product );
--Q4
Lt_total = select sum( gross ) from lt_sales; Q2 Q3
Lt_po_sum = Select avg(gross) from lt_purchase;
What kicks you out of parallel mode?
• Local variables or scalar parameters usage
• Inside a processing block, if we use the DML/DDL
• System encounters any imperative logic like IF, LOOP Q1
• SQL Statements which are not assigned to any implicit variables.
Best practices:
• Split the code in different containers which can be parallelized.
• Put all the imperative logic at the end. So most of the time hana runs Imperative declarative
The above logic in parallel.
Containers in SQL Script
Container is a block of SQL Script code. There are 3 types of containers

SELECT …. TABLE; Scalar Table
END; Function Function
SUDF TUDF
Funda Fox
1. SQL Script is not case-sensitive like ABAP
2. Every statement in SQL Script ends with semi-column (;)
3. When we declare a variable and want to use that variable in our code we use column symbol before the same (:) but when
we want to assign a value to our variable we don’t need to use the column. E.g.
Declare x integer; declare y integer; declare z integer;
X = 10;
Y=20;
Z = :x + :y ;
4. If we want to output data from sql script code, everything evolves around sql. We can use a table called dummy to show
output on console from variables.
5. When we are working with SQL console, system will set the default schema (session schema) to your user’s schema.
Whenever we create any object system will perform the activation on session schema. We can check session schema using
below statement
Select CURRENT_SCHEMA from dummy;
We can change the session schema for that session using SET SCHEMA command
So that we can access the objects of other schema during SQL console is open. Remember when we close the session and
open an another one the session schema will be reset to the user’s schema again.
5. If you not assign value to a variable, the value will be assigned as NULL

Exception handling
In hana we can also do exception handling using

How to declare variables in HANA
Syntax:
DECLARE variableName variabletype;
Types of variables:
Numeric: TINYINT, SMALLINT, INT, BIGINT, INTEGER, DOUBLE, DECIMAL()
Char: VARCHAR, NVARCHAR, ALPHANUM
Date : TIMESTAMP, DATETIME, DATE
Binary: VARBINARY
Large object: CLOB, BLOB, NLOB Types OF variables
Tables Variable (itab)
Scalar variable Arrays
Implicit Explic
Using Tables
Exercise:
If the table exist, insert 10 more records using procedure, if the table not exist, create the table and insert 10 records.
Enhance the same procedure to do same.
Syntax for if condition in hana

IF condition THEN
….code
END IF;
WHILE condition DO
----condition
END WHILE;
FOR I IN start..end DO
----fixed count
END FOR;

Array
SYNTAX : Multiple values of same data type, cannot have
DECLARE arr_name arrayDatatype ARRAY := ARRAY( val1, val2, ….); multiple column
Funda Fox:
WE CANNOT RETURN AN ARRAY OUT OF A PROCEDURE.
Arrayname[index]
Cursors:
Cursors are handler for DB memory. They are actually named queries. Whenever a
1
cursor is created, it is always bound to a query. It is also possible to pass parameter
to cursors.
Declare  Open  Fetch  Close
Example:
Read data from abap table snwd_pd based on product category.
Using a single cursor does not make sense until used with PK, It is a good idea to use
cursor with Array for multiple record processing. Benefit of using cursor with array is
we don’t need to open cursor and fetch again and again. It will be managed by a FOR
loop.

Create table types in the system
If you need to return some data out in a specified structure every time from different procedures, better to create a reusable
type. And then define output/input using the same type.
Syntax:
CREATE TYPE type_name AS TABLE (col1 type, col2 type, col3 type…);

AMDP is just another container of SQL Script code which is kept on ABAP side. It is ABAP global class created in SE24 or in ADT.
Peter parker  Spiderman SPIDER
ABAP Class  AMDP MARKER INTERFACE – IF_AMDP_MARKER_HDB
The main benefits of an AMDP
• It is a top down approach
• No life cycle challenges
• Easy to code SQL script even w/o having access to HANA
Funda Fox
• Typically AMDP is a static method of an AMDP class
• This method have inp and exp parameters only pass by value
• No nested tables/structures allowed for parameters
• AMDP only works if your DB is HANA
• An AMDP class can also contain the normal abap methods as well
• Methods with returning parameters cannot be implemented using AMDP
• The HANA procedure will be create not when you activate the AMDP rather when you CALL IT FOR FIRST TIME.
• When you call AMDP it calls HANA DB procedure – Code- to-data
• When we want to use a DB table in an AMDP it must be specified in USING clause

CDS Views?
Motivation for having CDS Views?
When we want to achieve code push down to HANA using IM, in order to consume these results in ABAP layer, we need to
create proxy object. These proxies has problem in terms of lifecycle management. When we create a CDS view in ABAP, on
activation the HANA view gets created automatically.
IM(design time) activate
HANA View
CDS View in ABAP activation

CDS Entity
Data Definition DDIC View in SE11

CDS – Core Data Services – New Language
It is an extension to SQL in ABAP. It is extending followings
• DDL – Data Definition Language – You can create new DB objects using CDS Concept –SE11
• DQL – Data Query Language – CDS View
• DEL – Data Expression Language – Case, Functions…
• DCL – Data Control Language – Grant and Revoke of data access

Question
1. Which layer do we create the CDS Views?
Create them in ABAP layer and when activation happens the HANA view gets created automatically
2. In HANA what type of view it creates attr. Ana or calc?
It has nothing to do with DT object it ultimately produce the similar Runtime Object (DB View)
3. Is it mandatory to be on HANA DB to create CDS views?
No, NW 7.4 SP6 and above
4. Do I need to learn ABAP to create CDS Views?
You and ABAPer from here are at same point of race
5. We have already view concept in SE11, why sap introduced new concept of CDS views?
pass
6. How CDS view will help in S/4HANA
CDS views are backbone of S/4HANA product, you can do many things starting from UI building to analytics
7. Are there pre-delivered CDS views by SAP which I can use
Yes SAP delivers lists of CDS views for almost every area, How to find
8. Where all I can use the CDS Concept
This concept can be used to build reports, Fiori UX, Analytics, Built in Analytics in S/4HANA, Exposing date
9. How it is different from AMDP?
AMDP is a SQL Script code, CDS is new language. CDS views are easier to implement than AMDP
10. Can I have multiple CDS views on one Table and vice-versa.
Yes, You can also create View on View
1. Do I need to transport HANA view also which is created by CDS view to Q system
Not at all, when we transport CDS view to Q system a similar activation takes place there and HANA view gets
created
2. I heard about HANA CDS also how it is different from ABAP CDS
ABAP CDS is what we are learning in this course, HANA CDS is actually the same concept in different flavor. It is
needed by Native HANA Developers, Who have NO ABAP SYSTEM IN THEIR COMPANY.
Click here for sneak peak of HANA CDS
3. Can we create CDS view in SE11
NO, we can only use ADT For development of CDS views
4. Can I debug CDS views
No

Funda Fox of OData
1. We can generate an Odata service Out of the box using the CDS view annotation @Odata.publish: true
2. The name of the service will be CDS_VIEW_NAME_CDS
3. You are not allowed to write change odata manually, system will control the odata automatically
4. Each view with its exposed association will become an entityset for odata
5. After activation, it is also mandatory to activate the odata service as well using tcode /N/IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE
6. One time activation only
7. Activation of service needs to be also transported by locking it in same package under which the cds is locked
Remember this is one of the way to create odata service. There are other ways
• Using SEGW manually
• SADL
• API way using RESTful ABAP programming paradigm

DCL – Data Control Language
1. Create a DCL for the CDS view
2. Make sure that your CDS view also understand that it has to check for DCL
3. Create an Auth Class in SU21
4. Create an Auth Object under the class
5. Maintain the Standard field called ACTVT
6. Maintain permitted Activity as 03
7. Create Authority fields of your choice depending on which field basis you want to control auth . E.g. based on country so
we create a field with data type LAND1
8. Save and Activate Auth Object
9. Use same auth object comparing against the field of CDS view with Auth field and we can hard code activity type check
