Definition

You can use this flag to set whether or not an external SAP HANA view is generated for the BW object.

Use

If this flag is set accordingly, an external SAP HANA view is generated. This external SAP HANA View is not used by the BW runtime, but can be used as a SAP HANA native access interface to BW models and data.

The SAP HANA package where the external SAP HANA view is deployed can be set using transaction SPRO. In addition to the SAP HANA view, the corresponding BW authorizations are replicated to SAP HANA privileges and automatically added via roles to the SAP HANA DB user which corresponds to the BW user.

Dependencies

It is possible to generate an external SAP HANA view for the following BW object types:

  • General limitations
    • Navigation attributes of InfoObjects where master data access is not Standard are not supported. If the navigation attribute is also authorization relevant, it is not possible to generate an external SAP HANA view.
    • Texts are not visible for InfoObjects where master data access is not Standard.
    • Non-cumulative keyfigures are not supported
    • Keyfigures with aggregation set to No aggregation are not supported
    • Compounding is not supported: There is no view attribute in the external SAP HANA view representing the concatenated value of an InfoObject with compounding.
    • Date and alpha conversion are not supported
  • CompositeProvider
    • The CompositeProvider must have at least one non-transient PartProvider like a standard InfoCube or Datastore. A CompositeProvider consisting only of a VirtualProvider based on a HANA Model is not supported for generation of an external SAP HANA view for example.
    • Request handling is not supported: For all PartProviders of the CompositeProvider, all requests are read.
  • Query as InfoProvider
    • Index for Query As InfoProvider must exist
  • DataStore
    • SID Generation must not be Never create SIDs
  • InfoCube
    • Subtype must be SAP HANA-Optimized InfoCube
  • InfoObject: It is possible to generate an external SAP HANA View both for the master data view and the master data provider
    • InfoObject must be a characteristic
    • The master data access is Standard
    • The Attribute Only flag is not selected
    • The characteristic must have master data or texts
    • If the flag High Cardinality is selected, the characteristic must have master data
    • The characteristic must be an InfoProvider to generate an external SAP HANA view for the master data provider
