HI
Hi ,
One simple question ,
Do we have to keep data in 2 different databases other than SAP Database to make this Hana work? That is in SAP BI and in SAP Hana.
Thanks
Rajesh
Raj
Hi Rajesh ,
Yes its a totally different database.Right now HANA is used for the
reporting purpose.So your coredata base will be copied to HANA and
that will be used to generate the report faster.
Thanks & Regards,
!Raj

Is it still valid or changed?esnips I was able to download EIM162. pdf but not able succeed the exercise one. Please let me know, how can I complete both to do some practice.

Hi Ajay,
I am a first timer to visit this site and its good see some neatly explained articles by you.
I am a web developer with 6+ years of experience, and for quite some time i am planning to switch my career into SAP. I want to move from coding and into consultant job profile. I was exploring articles on BigData and Hadoop and came across about SAP HANA.
As thinking of switching career into SAP, can you guide me the best way, place to learn SAP HANA in bangalore? Is there any prerequisites to learn HANA? Do we need have knowledge on either BI or BW to learn HANA? Can you share document to learn about HANA?
admin
Dear Naveen,
Knowledge of BI/BW is always good to have but not mandatory. At present there are no SAP education partner which provides SAP HANA courses in Bangalore. You might have to check individual folks who provide this.
Interestingly we are also planning to start a online SAP HANA online course in couple of months. We would publish all these details once we finalise the plan.
Thanks
Team SAP Ignite
Naveen
thanks a lot.
I have a query.
What is the difference between SAP BI and SAP BO?
As i said, i would like to get into SAP profile from web developer profile , which will be a the best one among BI and BO to choose, in terms of learning and getting a job, keeping my programming profile as background.
Thanks once again.
