Python/R Programming Integration into Hybris Marketing On-Premise?

[andyiz07]

Hello Experts,

Can we use Python Programming to build custom recommendation model in Hybris Marketing On-Premise Rel 1809. Is it supported? what do we need?

Hi, it looks like it's technically possible one way or another, but the issue is HANA Runtime licensing restrictions. To my knowledge, direct access to HANA RT via Python driver is only allowed for data extraction to HANA EE, HANACloud, DWC. Ingesting data into HANA RT via Python driver is not allowed. So you will have to implement separate integration logic on SAP Application Server layer.

I'm not 100% about these HANA RT restrictions, it would be nice if someone from SAP can confirm them (tim.nusch)

In our scenario, we are thinking about creating control target groups using Phyton script.

Hello andyiz07,

in theory you could build a custom recommendation model using Python and SAP HANA XSA. There is a blog on Python on SAP HANA XSA: https://blogs.sap.com/2018/06/15/getting-started-with-python-on-sap-hana-xsa/

What is the background of the question? Do you want to reusing Python libraries for recommendation algorithms?

In addition, you would need to create a custom recommendation algorithm and SAP HANA procedures which trigger the Python algorithms and/or use persisted results to use it in the recommendation component of SAP Marketing:

Hope this helps!
