What is SAP BW/4HANA?
In 1998 SAP started the first version of SAP BW
SAP BW/4HANA 2.0 is latest version
Features :
Some main abilities and features of SAP S/4 HANA include
- Cloud and on premise deployment.
- Simplified modeling and administration.
- Integration with SAP and non-SAP applications.
- Instinctive user experience.
1)SAP BW/4HANA is a development of SAP BW that is completely optimized and tailored to SAP HANA. It’s SAP’s next-generation data warehouse solution and a new product , built entirely on one of the most advanced in-memory platforms today – SAP HANA.
2)SAP BW/4HANA is a new, next-generation data warehouse product from SAP , like SAP S/4HANA is optimized for the SAP HANA platform, including inheriting the high performance, simplicity, and skill of SAP HANA
3)SAP BW/4HANA is a data warehouse based on SAP HANA.
SAP BW is also an evolution platform that programmers use to develop data warehouses and analytics applications, do data management tasks, and generate reports . Business users generally access SAP BW through an application built by a developer, such as an executive Dashboard or mobile app.
What is SAP BW on HANA?
Version : SAP BW 7.5 on HANA
Features:
Provides quick ROI through performance
Revving a range of reporting and analytical tasks
1)BW on HANA indicates that you are using HANA as database for BW data modeling capabilities and no other database is needed.
2)SAP Business Warehouse (BW) powered by SAP HANA directs to using BW software suite on top of HANA database. This functionality studies all the key features of HANA database technologies and uses BW as a modeling tool for data modeling and analytical reporting
3)SAP Business Warehouse (BW) powered by SAP HANA enables you speed up data analysis by consuming data via a Data Warehouse (DW) for data analysis and analytical reporting
Difference :
SAP BW on HANA and BW4/HANA are various application suites running on the same database. SAP BW on HANA utilizes SAP’s legacy BW software but carries it to the HANA database. BW/4HANA uses a re-engineered software suite created to fully harness the power of the HANA database
BW/4HANA
1)BW/4HANA uses machine learning to define the optimal query execution mode
2)Instead of using expensive in-memory storage for all data, partitions of data can be automatically displaced into hot, warm, and cold data storage based on customer requirements
3)BW/4HANA provides seamless integration of Big Data techniques through a dedicated source system type; the Big Data source system
4)With BW/4HANA, the number of modeling objects in the system is reduced from 10 to 4. The BW/4HANA modeling objects are simple to use and fully optimized for HANA
BWonHANA
1)A task is done manually in BWoH.
2)BWoH provides multi-temperate data management at the object level only, not by partition. In this case, an object can use either hot or cold storage, which usually results in customers creating additional objects, particularly for data aging purposes.
3)With BWoH, there is no dedicated source system type for Hadoop
4)BWoH supports 10 modeling objects which include classic objects (non-HANA optimized), transient objects (partially HANA optimized) and the HANA optimized objects
