SAP HANA Extended Application Services (XS)
Introduction
What: Small footprint application server / web server / basis

for an application development platform inside SAP HANA
Rationale: Enable application development and deployment

while minimizing architectural layers
Create apps that have an http-based UI (browser, mobile apps)
Apps run directly on SAP HANA, w/o additional external servers or
components
-> simplified system architecture = low TCO
Tight integration w/ SAP HANA DB -> best possible performance
Scope: wide range of apps

Lightweight small web-based applications
Complex enterprise business applications

Development model for SAP HANA based native applications
SAP HANA extended application services offer

Easy access to SAP HANA database via HTTP-based consumption
Attractive, dynamic HTML5 UI applications via OData services or by
writing native application-specific code that runs in SAP HANA context Client
Powerful search services
Built-in web server to access static content stored in Presentation logic

Programming language: ABAP / ABAP OO with Programming language: River; server-side
the option to use SAP HANA features JavaScript, SQL/SQLScript
IDE: eclipse-based ABAP Development Tools IDE: eclipse-based SAP HANA Studio + web IDE
Guidance
use ABAP for optimization of existing progams (in context of SAP Business Suite or BW)
consider HANA Native Development for development of new applications which will solely run on SAP HANA
combine ABAP and HANA Native Development to enrich existing applications (e.g. SAP HANA Live, Fiori)

SAP HANA Studio Development
Perspective
SAP HANA Studio Development Perspective
Goal: Provide an extensible and

integrated development environment
supporting all development artifacts
necessary for building a HANA
application, covering development,
testing, debugging, supportability and
lifecycle management. As new and
existing technologies are being integrated
into HANA, a seamless integration of
the corresponding external tools in the
HANA Development Workbench should
be possible.
Target customer: HANA Application

Developer (Internal and external
developers). Including content
development scenarios.
Utilizes standard Eclipse projects HANA

Specific, General SAP Projects, and even
3rd party ones

Standard Eclipse Team Provider interface

for storing all objects into the SAP HANA
Repository

HANA Specific Editors and

Debugger Enhancements (for
example: XSJS Server Side
JavaScript)

Perspective Workflow
Create a new Eclipse Project from within SAP HANA Studio

This is a true Eclipse Project persisted on the developers local
machine

The project is then linked to the SAP HANA Repository

After linked to a Repository, specific HANA packages are added as
folders

The SAP HANA Repository is then treated like Git or Perforce and
Eclipse checks out the content for editing

There is also an SAP HANA Repository Browser entire projects
can be checked out from there as well

The Repository content is copied to the developers machine and
edited locally and offline

Standard Eclipse editors as well as special SAP provided editors
are then utilized

Upon saving in any Eclipse editor, a commit back to the SAP HANA
Repository is done automatically

Full source merge, rebase, conflict resolution, and version
management is built in

Changes are inactive when first committed; inactive testing is
planned for the future

We also have direct interaction with other Eclipse based tools (such
as ABAP Development Tools and SAPUI5)

Perspective New SP6 Features
New features delivered in SP6
Eclipse 4.2 Adoption
Usability Enhancements to Project Explorer and Repository Browser (Keyboard Shortcuts,

Confirmation Dialogs, Improved Error Display)
New Open Object and Object Search Dialogs
Core Data Services (Data Definition Language) New Source Code Based Editor
UI Integration Services Designer Integration

Enhancements for check and activation
Global toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts for

Check (Ctrl+Shift+F2) and Activate (Ctrl+Shift+F3),
bound to SAP HANA Development perspective
Activation/Check of single active objects is now

disabled (because not supported by HANA
Repository)
Enhancements in Activation dialog (forced activation

modes)
Default behavior for auto-commit and checkout-on-

refresh has changed to on (can be switched off
manually via Preferences > SAP HANA Development
> Repository Access > Always synchronize... )

Usability enhancements to Project Explorer and Repository
Browser
Open the shared project. There should be a

node "HANA System Library" containing a child
node "Catalog", which behaves like the
Catalog in SAP HANA Systems view
All Modeler editors are now integrated with the

Project Explorer
(Create / Edit / Validate / Activate)

New open object and object search dialogs
Press keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+A

(alternative: click on Quick search button
"Open HANA Repository Object" in toolbar)
Enter some search term matching one of the

files you just created in your project editor
should open
Search for some repository object outside of

your project read only editor should open

Entities and associations: the data model
Use "E/R modeling" to define your data model

Entities correspond to database tables
Associations describe relations between tables
Associations
entity Flight {
keys key flightId: String(8);
flightNum: String (3);
cityFrom: Association to City;
cityTo: Association to City;
depDate: LocalDate;
Primitive types, depTime: LocalTime;
enumerations, flightSeats: Association[0..*] to Seat via backlink flight;
structured types }
entity Seat {
key flight: Association to Flight;
id: SeatNum;
isExitRow: Boolean default false; Default Values
Status: enum {free; reserved;};
}

Actions: the business logic
Actions describe the application's business logic

Local variables (scalar, streams)
Control statements (if, foreach, apply)
this
Integrated SQL queries
entity Seat {
flight: Association to Flight;
seatNum: SeatNum;
isExitRow: Boolean default false;
seatStatus: SeatStatus;
}
entity Flight {

flightSeats: Association[0..*] to Seat via backlink flight;
action GetEmptySeats() : Seat [] {

return select * from this.flightSeats
where Seat.seatStatus = SeatStatus.free;
}
}

Extended queries
Use entity associations naturally in queries: id

extending SQL! Flight
FlightId SeatNum
temp16
entity Seat {
flight: Association to Flight; __FlightId Status
seatNum: SeatNum;
isExitRow: Boolean default false; Seat
seatStatus: SeatStatus;
}
entity Flight {

flightSeats: Association[0..*] to Seat via backlink flight; __temp16 = select T1. from Flights as T0
inner join "flights.Seat" as T1
}
action GetEmptySeats() : Seat [] {
}
return select * from this.flightSeats
where Seat.Status = SeatStatus.free; = on (T0."flightId" = "T0:flightSeats"."flight.flightId")
where "FlightId" = 12345;
__retval__ = select T2. from :__temp16 as T2 where T2."seatStatus" = 'free';

Access control
role Dispatcher;
Define roles entity Flight {

CRUD and call access privileges key flightId: String(8);
flightNum: String (3);
Assign run-time users to roles cityFrom: Association to City;
cityTo: Association to City;
depDate: LocalDate;
depTime: LocalTime;
flightSeats : Association[0..*] to Seat via
backlink flight;
}
action OpenNewFlight() accessible by Dispatcher {

}
entity Seat {
