HANA Calculation View in Power Designer

[katarzynachodubska]

Hi All,

I am wondering if there is a way to model HANA Calculation View in Power Designer.

I noticed that Calculation Views aren't supported by PD. Is there a workaround to be able to model Calculation View in PD.

Thanks and Regards,

Katarzyna

As calculation views are not necessarily based on SQL and have dependencies on other objects, they cannot be imported from the HANA repository or defined in PD for export to the HANA repository (as with attribute and analytic view based on SQL objects).

The best way I can think of is to model them with a multidimensional diagram/cube.  Perhaps stereotyped in an extension to define it better (I've been thinking about this for a while).

At least then you can create the necessary dependencies and relationships for impact analysis and documentation.

The first implementation of HANA Calculation Views in PowerDesiggner can be found in the Finance & Risk Analytics Rapid Deployment Solution. There SAP implemented an Extensions allowing to generate Calculation Views.

But I don't think we can simply reproduce this logic...
