CNA262: Developing SAP HANA Database Modules with an Application Programming Model

Description

The TechEd 2018 session CNA262 describes how to create a HANA Graph and Calculation views using the information supplied from the base data model found in the SAP Git repository cloud-sample-spaceflight.

Please read the flight model and space model documentation in the referenced repository in order to understand the data model’s structure and how it should be used.

Once you have completed the pre-requisite steps, you are then ready to perform the following exercises:

1. Create a HANA graph
2. Adapt the HANA Graph to show the shortest path between two airports
3. Create a calculation view showing direct flights
4. Create a calculation view showing routes requiring one stop
5. Expose Calculation Views as an OData Service

Download and Installation

The exercises for this session are entirely Cloud-based. Although you are at liberty to use any software editor you choose, the exercise instructions assume the use of SAP Web IDE; therefore based on this assumption, no software need be installed locally.

Configuration

None

Limitations

When using SAP Web IDE in the Firefox Quantum browser, a small number editor features are known not to function correctly; therefore it is recommended to use an up-to-date version of Google Chrome when working in SAP Web IDE.

Known Issues

None so far…
