Session Abstracts
Session Title | Speaker | Abstract |
|---|---|---|
Building Applications which leverage SAP HANA | Thomas Jung | In this session we will introduce various techniques for building applications on SAP HANA. We will perform some data modeling. We will see how to push down data centric processing logic into the HANA database via the usage of SQLScript. We will then explore both major application server layers – ABAP and HANA Application Services and how they can each be used to build or adapt applications to leverage the power of HANA. |
TBD | Eric Vallo | Planned Topic: SAP Lumira |
CRM: Rapid Application Builder in Depth | Stephen Johannes | In this session we will explore in detail how to use the CRM Rapid Application Builder to create applications code free and how to take generated code and enhance it to meet requirements. We will also explore the API's used to retreive/update data in tables created by the builder. |
Time to Go to BI4? | Eric Vallo | With the end of mainstream support for BusinessObjects XI 3.1 approaching, now is the time to seriously consider an upgrade to SAP BusinessObjects BI4. An upgrade project of any size is not one to be taken lightly, and one your company cannot afford to get wrong. Upgrading to BI4 is a whole different way of thinking from previous versions. Infrastructure requirements, tool selections, feature sets; all different. Come and learn how to upgrade to BI4 the right way. |
