Como Habilitar o Fiori no HANA Cloud Platform Trial

Para quem quer praticar um pouco de desenvolvimento Fiori mas não possui ambiente, não pode deixar de ler este post.

O Fiori Launchpad além de fazer parte do componente SAP_UI no Netweaver, também está disponível no HANA On Premise e Cloud (HCP).

Existe 2 formas de usar o HANA Cloud Platform para praticar Fiori.

SAP Fiori Trial

sapfioritrial.com

Este é um HANA Cloud conectado a um Gateway, ECC, CRM e outras coisas mais com algumas aplicações Fiori já embutidas e configuradas. Você pode fazer o cadastro gratuitamente, usar a Web IDE para estender aplicações standard. O Trial é válido por 90 dias e depois deste prazo sua conta volta a estaca zero por isso não deixe de fazer seu backup.

HANA Cloud Platform Trial

https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com

Este também é um HANA Cloud Trial, mas não há o limite de 90 dias para uso. A má notícia é que não há as apps standard e somente o Launchpad, que requer uma ativação.

Para ativar o Fiori launchpad no HCP trial, faça seu cadastro e siga os passos abaixo.

Em Subscriptions, você por padrão possuirá apenas a Web IDE. É necessário incluir a aplicação flpportal (Fiori Launchpad), como já está feito abaixo.

Para habilitar esta aplicação, basta clicar em “New Subscription”.

• Provider Account: trial
• Application: flpportal
• Subscription Name (Gerado pelo sistema): flpportal

Não mude estes nomes!

Agora vá na aba trust e apenas mude o item Principal Propagation para Enabled.

Por fim, é necessário habilitar o serviço SAP HANA Cloud Portal. Clique em Services, encontre a opção (no momento que este post é escrito esta é a primeira opção). Selecione esta e clique em Enable na tela que será aberta.

Basta agora abrir o Launchpad. Volte ao item Subscriptions, clique em flpportal. Uma nova tela será aberta com um link semelhante o link abaixo.

https://flpportal-p[seu usuario]trial.dispatcher.hanatrial.ondemand.com/sap/hana/uis/clients/ushell-app/shells/fiori/FioriLaunchpad.html?hc_reset#Shell-home

Para entrar no modo administrativo, clique em seu nome e então Manage Site.

Agora é só usar o Launchpad disponível gratuitamente no HCP.

SAP S/4 HANA Simple logistics expected to combine features of multiple SCM applications

SAP ERP is well known in the market for its capability of integration of different business functions (like posting of a logistic transaction also triggers financial posting immediately and automatically). It has different modules (SD, PS, MM, LE, FI, CO etc) integrated with the same system . SAP is a product making company and their main revenue comes for selling of licenses for these products. Over the years , when most of the customers have implemented ERP , they launched new products (rather individual systems / applications) for almost every module of ERP (SD with CRM , PP with APO , MM with SRM , PS with cProjects & xRPM , WM with EWM , Distribution to TM etc) with advanced features in those applications and also obviously with strong integration capability with ERP. Today, SAP has several products offering similar functionalities like SRM, SNC, CLM, Ariba in procurement space. It is very difficult for the customer (and also for consultants ) which product to recommend to implement or continue. SAP also does not clarify / confirm in many such cases. However, we (as consultants) need to keep a close watch in which direction SAP is moving and that too with the latest launch of S/4 HANA.

SAP’s naming also creates confusion in many cases . HANA was initially launched as ‘High-Performance Analytic Appliance’ with tag on Analytics. Today, it is not an acronym and it is a name . SAP also confused whether S in S/4 should stand for smart or simple , later it settled with ‘Simple’.

Early adopters of HANA was mainly in the BW space , but there debates whether BW is really needed as HANA can provide real-time analytics in an OLTP tool / application. HANA is now being applied in all future SAP products due to its sheer capability of processing high volume of data in real time and that is the USP for S/4 HANA.

MRP , ATP , BOP (Backorder processing) , Closing cockpit (for financial period end closing activities) are some of the business processes which are very resource heavy and used to be run in batches in night (or off-peak hours) . MRP on HANA now runs much faster , can be run more frequently in a day (rather once in 24 hours) and hence the results are more dynamic (with respect to previously static data) . BOP used to take around 7-8 hours for a high volume plant for a customer, today with APO running on HANA it takes less than an hour.

Simple logistic is a part of S/4 HANA and is expected to be released in Q4’2015. As it appears (from documents / demos in Open SAP and other SAP documents in URL http://www.sapafricaforum.co.za/sap/downloads/S4HANA_Roadmap_Customer.pdf) SAP is now trying to combine features of many SAP applications in one single system like

1. PPDS & GATP of APO : HANA has the capability of crunching complex algorithms as APO does using live cache and probably that is the rationale for providing APO features like PPDS (Production planning & detailed scheduling) and GATP (Global ATP) as a part of simple logistics running on HANA. Multi-level explosion (MATP) , Location & material substitution, advanced BOP are some of the key features of GATP. Document on Simple logistics released by SAP says that it will have substitution functionality, advanced BOP but not clear (as yet) whether it will have all the salient features of GATP. There are also plans of APO’s DP (Demand planning) and SNP (Supply network planning) to be available in SAP’s new IBP (Integrated business planning) also running on HANA . Then the question comes , what will be the future of APO?

2. EWM : SAP launched EWM (Extended warehouse management) as a decentralised application for high volume warehouses with operational complexity and value added service. EWM can also be run on HANA and as it appears (from SAP’s roadmap for S/4 HANA) , EWM will be ‘ integral part of SAP S/4HANA

offering advanced warehouse process enablement’.As of now (and SAP also recommends that) , a customer can run some of their warehouse in ECC WM & some other warehouse in EWM and the choice of ECC WM or EWM sheerly depends on volume of transaction and complexity of operations for the specific warehouse. It needs to be seen what is the future for ECC WM ?

3. TM: Transportation management (TM) is a separate application designed for LSPs’ (Logistic service providers) as well as Shippers for advanced transportation planning, tendering capabilities etc. Functionalities of TM also appear to be in the roadmap of S4 HANA.

S4 HANA will not only have Simple finance and simple logistics, it is also expected to combine PLM and other applications (to be watched) in one single system S4 HANA. ERP ECC is the backbone when it interacts with other systems like APO , EWM & TM . It is always a challenge to keep the systems consistent with respect to master data and transaction data while interfacing with each other . Also APO does not have integration with TM and sometimes scheduling becomes a problem if the client uses both APO GATP and TM . Hope S4 HANA will reduce these challenges with integration by combining different applications in a single system . We also need to watch SAP’s plan with other application like EM , GTS etc with S4 HANA . Like TM has good interfaces with EM , GTS , GIS etc .So, if TM is integral part of S4 HANA , then those applications like EM , GTS also need to be combined in S4 HANA for their vision of merging different applications in one single system. Picture will be clearer as we go along, but it is quite clear that SAP is trying to merge different applications in a single system S4 HANA.

S/4 Hana Simple logistics -BP Functions

ello Guys,

It is my first blog in SCN on simple logistics to keep update you such a small topic today on Business partner how it works.

So lets catch up everything in Simple logistics …never ever give up…Just i want to to share some of breathed knowledge on HANA.

Except PA20/PA30 all T.codes are removed related to customers (XD01/VD01/XK01 Etc).

Point-1

As of now in ECC customer tables are KNA1/KNB1/KNVV,  But in HANA BUT100 & BUT000 Tables (Examp)

Still we have an option to store the BP tables in both places (KNA1/KNB1/KNVV) and BUT100/BUT000.

The reason being is there is financial service functionality in FI and it HANA is not completely fledged hence ECC customer tables are required…where is the setting…Lets look into config below….

I will explain at the end of this topic where we can maintain these BP roles

So you want the customers data to be updated in ECC Tables …below is the settings…

You can do this by modifying the SAP standard settings of BP role TR0600. Go to –

Cross-Application Components >> Master Data Synchronization >> Customer/Vendor Integration >> Business Partner Settings >> Settings for Customer Integration >> Set BP Role Category for Direction BP to Customer

If you activate Customer based option then the customer details will be updated in ECC tables otherwise it will be only in HANA tables.

Point-2

Account group- There is no account group function in HANA …But how system is controlling Number ranges or Fields (Display/req/Suppress)???

If account group is not available in HANA then why assign the account group ??

My Clarification–Normally we can maintain BP roles while creating the customers and at the same time will assign grouping option.

Keep in Mind-In BP Role- we define BP Role Cate-and we assign Grouping to BP role category.

Here we assign BP Role category to BP Role….

What is use of HIDE-if we activate this check box we cant see the BP roles in BP T.code ..it will not be visible.

Always we need to keep the same BP Role category of BP role when we are using the standard BP roles otherwise we have to remove the check box  (STD assignment )

Grouping can  done based on role category not on BP role.

What is the position ?

The number of position controls where the BP role should be visible in BP.

If you keep 1 then it appears on the top of BP roles.

BP View – It is just view of BP for specific BP roles.

Point-3

Normally we create BP Organisation/Group and persons…but if we one module consultants wont like creating sales organisation …then below is the complete control..

Here we can assign BP role category to Grouping.

Point-4

Define BP Roles for exclusion groups…

Suppose if you dont want specific role for grouping then we can assign specific bp roles…bz we need not delete.

Point-5

What is application transactions ?

Normally we go to BP and changing the BP roles as per our requirement like vendor/customer/accounting…

but if you activate it here directly we go to specific screen of BP

Point-6

Define Number ranges to Grouping

Point-7

We can control fields by using 4 methods IN HANA..

Point-8

Last but not least —We have to Make CVI configuration to control the same partner number and we have to check CVI object is activated or not SWF5.

Why Account group ?? while migration project system should understand this ECC customer is supposed to be specific BP roles Role….

Please put your doubts as it will be better to me as well….I will be back with creation of one time customer in HANA….

SAP HANA – aprenda gratuitamente e no seu ritmo

Não é de hoje que HANA é o assunto do momento no mercado SAP.  Há cada vez mais investimento da SAP para ser “the cloud company powered by SAP HANA”.  E a SAP também aposta forte na sua nova versão do ERP, o S/4 HANA,  usando o poder do HANA para a simplificação dos processos.

Ao contrário do que muitos pensam, HANA não é só um banco de dados em memória, e sim uma plataforma completa de desenvolvimento, possibilitando o desenvolvimento de aplicações nativas no seu servidor.  SQLScript, Calculation Views, XSJS, ODATA, UI5, tudo isto pode estar envolvido em uma aplicação nativa na plataforma. Porém, como aprender tudo isso?

Antigamente, sem uma academia, o material disponível era pouco, e desenvolvedores corriam atrás de um mini SAP para treinar ABAP com as tabelas do “flight model” (SFLIGHT, SBOOK, etc.).  Então, a academia oficial ou aprendizado interno nas empresas eram as formas mais fáceis de aprender a desenvolver em ABAP.

A SAP segue com seus cursos no SAP Education para quem busca um certificado e sente-se mais seguro em uma aula com instrutor e em português. Cursos como o HA100 (SAP HANA – Introduction ), HA300 (SAP HANA – Implementation & Modeling ) e HA400  (ABAP Programming for SAP HANA) já estão sendo ministrados no Brasil.

Porém, para quem não pode investir em uma academia, seja por tempo ou questões financeiras, a boa notícia é que existe uma abundância de recursos online, como cursos completos e tutoriais, além de vasta documentação.

Embora o assunto já tenha sido parcialmente abordado pelo Henrique Pinto neste post aqui, acreditei que valia a pena aprofundar e fazer um “roadmap” .

Vou então falar aqui sobre alguns destes recursos que pude experimentar e que recomendo para quem quiser se especializar no assunto.

Antes de começar…

Embora muitos cursos abordem isto em algum capítulo, sugiro que você já crie sua conta no Hana Cloud Platform trial (https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com). Afinal, aprender sem praticar e sem testar os exercícios é sempre mais complicado. Além disto, em alguns cursos mais antigos, é sugerido criar uma conta paga no Amazon Web Services, o que não é mais necessário.

OpenSAP

A plataforma de cursos online já é conhecida pela maioria, inclusive a Raquel Pereira da Cunha já fez um post a respeito (Cursos openSAP – Aprenda de forma gratuita). Porém, vou focar especificamente nos cursos sobre desenvolvimento em HANA.

Introduction to Software Development on SAP HANA

Este curso introdutório é extremamente didático, muito bem explicado e exemplificado. O instrutor é Thomas Jung, diretor do SAP HANA Product Management e expert no assunto. A abrangência é bastante grande, passando por modelagem (unidade 2), SQLScript (unidade 3), UI5 e ODATA (unidade 4) e XSJS (unidade 5).

Ótimo para ter uma ideia inicial de boa parte do que está disponível com o HANA e depois se aprofundar mais em cada assunto.

O aspecto negativo é que o curso é de 2013, baseado no SAP HANA SPS 05 e alguma coisa do 06, e o último SPS disponível é o 10. Logo, algumas funcionalidades vistas no curso já estão em desuso, como CE functions. Outras, apresentadas como novidade como o Core Data Services já estão bem estabilizadas e com muitas novas funcionalidades.

Next Steps in Software Development on SAP HANA

Para quem completou o curso de introdução e quer se aprofundar mais, ou já possui conhecimentos de HANA, este curso é a indicação. Conceitos como modelagem, abordando o Core Data Services, XSJS, SQLScript e ODATA são aprofundados. Além disto, são abordados outros assuntos como o uso das bibliotecas nativas do HANA (geoespacial e texto) e o gerenciamento de transportes.

Software Development on SAP HANA (Delta SPS 09)

Para resolver a questão da desatualização dos cursos anteriores, foi disponibilizado outro curso, que será reprisado em setembro/2015. Então ,se você quiser a oportunidade de seguir o curso com as provas e obter o Record of Achievement, corra para fazer os dois cursos anteriores, ou simplesmente acompanhe este caso você já tenha conhecimento prévio.

ABAP Development for SAP HANA

Este é mais voltado para quem não estiver voltado a desenvolver aplicações nativas no HANA, mas estiver mais focado em otimizar o ABAP para rodar com HANA. Dependendo do seu cenário, pode ser que seja o curso mais interessante. De toda forma, aconselho antes passar pelo menos por algumas noções básicas do curso de introdução ao HANA mencionado antes, como a parte de modelagem, para ter alguns conceitos básicos.

Para quem prefere ir direto para a plataforma cloud, também há opções. Introduction to SAP HANA Cloud Platform

e Next Steps in SAP HANA Cloud Platform são os principais cursos, entre vários outros mais específicos. Porém, eu começaria com os cursos anteriores, que dão uma ideia bem mais geral e cujo conhecimento pode ser aplicado à plataforma cloud, para somente depois ir para o HCP. A menos que você  tenha experiência e goste de desenvolvimento Java (um dos tópicos do primeiro curso, mas não o único) e já queira direto ir para a plataforma cloud, e saber como estender as aplicações SAP na nuvem.

SAP HANA Academy

Sim, o Youtube também é uma fonte de conhecimento para HANA! E na minha opinião, o melhor canal é o SAP HANA Academy.

Neste canal há tutoriais sobre praticamente todos os assuntos em HANA. É onde recomendo que quem já tenha conhecimento de HANA procure se aprofundar em tópicos específicos. Existem várias playlists separadas por assunto, como modelagem, provisionamento de dados, Hana Cloud Integration, análise preditiva, entre outras. Também são apresentadas as novidades de cada SPS, incluindo o mais recente (SPS10).

Além disso, estão disponíveis algumas demos de aplicações  que podem ser implementadas no Hana Cloud Platform Trial para estudo. Assisti toda a playlist Live3 – SAP HANA Cloud Platform for Advanced Real-Time Social Media Analytics, e recomendo fortemente. É montada uma aplicação com acesso real time ao Twitter,  usando bibliotecas de análise de texto e preditiva, com uma interface em Fiori. Além disto, esta demo ensina como contornar algumas limitações do ambiente trial do HCP.

Documentação

A documentação do SAP HANA é farta e detalhada, e sempre atualizada a cada SPS lançado. Separada por tópicos, se compilássemos tudo em um único documento teríamos algumas milhares de páginas.

É relativamente óbvio e fácil de achar, mas aqui fica o link para a documentação atualizada pelo SPS 10:

SAP HANA Platform (Core) – SAP Help Portal Page – veja as seções “Development and Modeling” e“References”.

Blogs e SCN

Pra quem já usa o SCN, pode ser “chover no molhado”, mas vale seguir o espaço SAP HANA Developer Center .

Algumas das dicas deste post estão lá, em menor detalhe e mais desatualizadas.

Um bom “indexador” de conteúdo, embora um pouco desatualizado, está neste post: HANA Reference for Developers – Links and SAP Notes(Part-1) – Updated 04.12.2013

Sei que muitas das referências se encontram com um pouco de pesquisa, mas quis neste post sintetizar algumas informações e trazer um pouco de opinião, para ajudar quem está iniciando ou querendo começar a desenvolver no HANA. Caso surjam novos recursos interessantes, atualizarei este post. Logo. sugestões de outros recursos e materiais são bem-vindas!
