In-Depth Information
These two types of views are the basic development objects necessary to build a SAP HANA
application, and in many cases will provide the functionality you need to build your reporting
application, allowing you to create complex reports while keeping only one copy of the data,
and needing no special processing when new data is added to the base tables.
In the next section, we'll be taking the reporting application that we've just built together, and
expanding it, using more of the development objects provided by SAP HANA to allow our users
to do simulations on sales for next year, based upon the sales reported this year. To do this, we
will see advanced topics, such as calculation views, user input prompts, calculated measures, as
well as visualizing our reporting simulator in Microsoft Excel.
