SAP BW on SAP HANA

COURSE OUTLINE:

Description

In this course, you will learn how to implement and maintain SAP BW powered by SAP HANA. You will learn the advantages of the new in-memory solution with SAP BW. You will discover the HANA-specific or optimized elements and aspects of SAP BW. With introducing a new Layered Scalable Architecture (LSA++), you will familiarize with a HANA optimized data modeling approach on SAP BW.
