SAP Fiori analytical apps, such as those provided with SAP Customer Activity Repository, rely on data aggregated by SAP HANA views. Not just a little data, mind you, but massive amounts of transactional data. Retrieving all this unrestricted data in SAP HANA and rendering it in SAP Fiori can translate into performance results which are simply unacceptable to your customers.
As a developer, one way to retrieve only the data your customers need is by applying a filter to your calculation views in SAP HANA Studio. Filters are expressions which limit the data that is retrieved. For instance you can restrict the data retrieved based on the date or SAP client using filter expressions.
The filters can be found by looking at the graphical view components in SAP HANA studio and by locating the filter icon (a yellow funnel symbol). It can be seen in the top right corner of the projection/aggregation:
When selecting such a component, locate the Output window in SAP HANA studio:
You can double click on Expression and open the “Filter Expression” window:
The following tables detail the filter parameters that are present in the calculation views consumed by the SAP Fiori applications.
Each table outlines the calculation view for which filter expressions exist. The underlying projection where the filter expression is applied is also listed.
Note: The information displayed in the following tables describes the settings applied to SAP HANA content delivered with SAP Customer Activity Repository 2.0 FP1. To inspect real-time settings in your environment, you can use the Auto-Documentation feature available in SAP HANA Studio.
To create the auto documentation proceed as follows:
- In the SAP HANA Studio, choose Window -> Open Perspective -> Modeler.
- On the Quick Launch tab page, choose Auto Documentation.
- Choose the package and choose Add.
- Enter a target location path and choose Finish.
One PDF document is created for each view.
