In this blog, I will collect the various smaller blogs that detail all the new developer related features in SAP HANA SPS 09. This will be a "living" document which is updated as new blogs are released.
HANA Programming Model
Miscellaneous Improvements
The following are various items that don't really have a category of their own.
- New Mozilla VM (currently version 28)
- Relaxed strict mode settings of the JavaScript VM
- New threading model implementation internally which lays the foundation for future features. No changes to the programming model itself due to these changes yet in SPS 09. Some general performance improvements thanks to this change.
Miscellaneous Security Features
In this blog we will have a first look at the new miscellaneous security features added to development model in SAP HANA SPS 09.
New XSJS Database Interface
In this blog we will have a first look at the new XSJS database interface in SAP HANA SPS09. This is a completely redesigned and rebuilt database interface which replaces the current implementation in the $.db package. This new interface, which is available as a separate API in $.hdb, focuses on several key areas of improvements.

HANA Test Tools
Unit testing and test driven development have increasingly become more popular in the industry in general and specifically within the SAP customer base. To meet this demand, SAP introduces both an Unit Test framework and a table/view Mock framework in SPS 09.

Core Data Services
In SPS 09 we continue to build on the foundation of CDS and the HDBDD development artifact. We introduce important new syntax as well as significant enhancements to the lifecycle management of these development objects.

XSDS (XS Data Services)
In SPS 09, SAP introduces a major extension to the programming model in the form of a reusable XSJS Library called XSDS or XS Data Services. There are several goals for this new library and the impact that it has on the overall programming model.
SAP HANA REST API
The SAP HANA Repository is a key feature of the HANA native development environment. It is the design time archive for all development objects from database tables all the way up through user interface artifacts. However up until now we've not had a supported API which would allow application developers or 3rd party tools developers to access the Repository. With the advent of the Web-based development tooling, SAP needed to create a REST-based service interface for these development tools. These two requirements come together in SPS 09 in the form of the newly released SAP HANA REST API.
