SAP The In-Memory Revolution Sapphire, May 2015
Refers How SAP HANA Enables Business of the Future

Hasso Plattner, Bernd Leukert
Chapter 3 The Impact of HANA on the design of Enterprise

Applications
To use SAP HANA instead of a traditional row-orientated database

without any changes to the application code is possible, and does result
in some performance improvement. But we should not forget that
existing databases also keep a large portion of their data in memory
through caching. The performance gains using HANA with existing
applications are therefore relatively modest, and it is only the five
times lower data footprint from dictionary encoding that justifies keep all
the data in memory

S/4HANA Innovation Roadmap
2015 IBM14
Corporation
SAP Vision on HANA
From: To:
One DB per application One DB per landscape
Point-to-point integration (e.g. ETL) No integration necessary
Long running queries, e.g. in batch mode Real time execution
S/4 HANA Vision
The SAP vision,
but this is not a
reality yet

HANA: Service Pack, Fix Pack, Patching, Maintenance
Customers running HANA in
production can stay on an older
SPS for up to three months longer
Typically two Service Pack per
Annum
Frequent Service / Fix Pack

Upgrades align to a SaaS / Cloud
like Dev/Ops operating model
This is very different vs before
Enterprise SAP Customers typically operate their SAP systems for between 3-6+ years incl. longer testing
and release cycle.
The SAP HANA Service and Fix Pack frequency is aligned to a Cloud / SaaS like operating model, this
maybe very different to an existing in-house customised SAP ERP deployments with federated inter-
connected SAP components linking to non SAP systems, some of which maybe years old and functionally
difficult to change or update.
Many Enterprise SAP customers will not be used to changing / upgrading their versions/releases every 6
months, ditto x86 HANA systems h/w maybe refreshed every 2-3 years vs 4-6 years on System p

DSAG about S/4 HANA and database freedom
DSAG - German speaking SAP User Group with more than 50,000 registered members
We are very interested to see what further developments are in store for SAP
S/4HANA. In terms of specific requirements, we want SAP to maintain a real freedom
of choice for customers when it comes to databases, among other things.
Alternatives to SAPs HANA database must remain possible with no restrictions on
functionality or performance.
SAP must not neglect the existing installed solutions that customers already use. In line
with SAPs maintenance promise through 2025, current SAP products require
significantly more development, since customers regularly invest in software
maintenance fees. So SAP should remain as committed to its current products as
it is towards SAP S/4HANA.

DB2 Version Support with NetWeaver 7.40
With SAP NetWeaver 7.40 SP08, SAP introduced rich new functions with DB2, e.g.
New ABAP Open SQL language elements

Core Data Services (CDS)
To support these features, DB2 10.5 is required as of NW 7.40 SP8 and higher

SAP Extended Support for SAP NetWeaver 7.40 SP08 through to 2025, with DB2 to 2022+

SAP Business Suite Maintenance Life Extended
SAP has recently announced that it will continue to deliver innovations for its on-
premise solutions, specifically the SAP Business Suite 7 and the SAP Business
Suite powered by SAP HANA 2013. As part of this commitment, SAP is
prolonging mainstream maintenance for SAP Business Suite to 2025, and
providing respective commitments for SAP Enterprise Support pricing.

Key Survey Findings
According to the survey results, 85 percent of respondents are not

committed to SAPs new S/4 HANA, with 68 percent citing lack of
business case/unclear ROI as the top factor for their lack of
commitment.
72 percent of respondents are choosing to remain on their existing, stable and

mature SAP ECC 6.0 platform, with only three percent reporting they are
using HANA today. The survey also revealed 75 percent of respondents
running the ECC 6.0 platform are still leveraging SAP Enhancement Pack 6,
or earlier releases, rather than the most current Enhancement Pack 7.

SAP / IBM Statement Regarding Ongoing BLU
Development and use in SAP Applications
BLU Acceleration is an in-memory technology that was introduced with IBM DB2 for
Linux, UNIX, and Windows Version 10.5. BLU Acceleration has been initially designed
to simplify and speed up analytics and reporting. And, from the very beginning, SAP and
IBM have closely partnered to integrate DB2 BLU with SAP analytic solutions, such as
SAP BW and the BW near-line storage solution. Since the introduction of BLU
Acceleration, BLU support has been extended several times and now covers all important
SAP BW objects, including the new performance-enhanced "flat InfoCube", and SAP
SEM.
Work on BLU integration is continuously ongoing and expected to result in the
integration of the BLU technology with other SAP applications. Since BLU
Acceleration is currently focused on analytic queries, the first such additional applications
are expected to be also analytical in nature. Other applications, that are not primarily
analytical in nature, will be worked on as ongoing advances of the BLU Acceleration
technology permit

DB2 BLU vs Oracle 12c In-memory Option

SAP certification December 2013 June 2015
Required SAP relase for full usage SAP 7.0 and higher SAP 7.40 and higher
Additional SW cost No. Included in AESE and AWSE. AESE Yes. Direct $23k per core, SAP
supported with SAP ASL/OEM about 3% from SAV
Simplicity Yes. Load and Go No. DBA must decide, which from the 10
thousands of tables to take
RAM / Memory saving Yes. Advanced caching keeps only No. Requires to store complete column-
active data in RAM organized table in RAM
Storage saving with compression Up to 10x. All data can be compressed Up to 2-4x. Only cold and less active
data compressed
Actionable compression Yes. Often operations are done on No. Similar compression like Oracle 11g
compressed data
Column format persistence Yes. Fully persisted on disk and cached No. Only cached in RAM. Must be
in RAM created again at database restart
Able to replace SAP BWA Yes. E.g. Plansee, Pfalzwerke No. Uses similar technique like Exadata
Able to replace SAP HANA Yes. BLU is full in-memory database No. All tables stay on row-store. Only
and offers the needed features/functions some of the tables are transferred to
column-store format.

What is Oracle In-Memory Option (aka Cache)
The SAP / Oracle DBA needs to decide which database tables will be stored in memory as
columnar tables in addition to being stored as row organized tables on disk (and in
memory as well) DBA can specify tables, partitions of tables and/or specific columns
At startup, the Oracle database engine will scan these tables to break them into columnar
format and store them in memory, this now duplicates ng the data in memory in both row
and columnar format
These columnar duplicates of the table are not persisted to disk

If the server fails or the oracle software crashes they are lost and must be recreated from
scratch during recovery processing Consequently Recovery takes longer and rdbms
I/O performance will suffer significantly during this time
Must carve out a separate memory area for these in-memory columnar tables (in addition to
existing SGA / buffer caches)
Burden on the DBA to decide what tables to put in memory, how big they will grow to,
what is active and what is cold, will the memory area be big enough

BLU Positioning vs. SAP BW Accelerator (BWA)
BLU Positioning:
Low memory footprint: Only active data stays in memory, compressed

Simplicity of BLU: No separate appliance required with BLU (BWA is a separate box):
BWA needs additional administration, DC power, cooling, cabling, tpc/ip connectivity
BWA is frequently updated with new data from the source SAP BW system
Data load requires additional time (ETL) and causes additional workload on SAP
BW
However BWA also works with older BW 7.0 environments, HANA requires BW 7.3
BLU requires less hardware: When migrating from SAP BW/ORACLE/BWA to DB2 BLU

Depending on type of queries, elapsed OLAP time can be much longer than elapsed database time.
To improve OLAP time fast CPU cores are required. E.g. p780 provides a turbo core mode which can be enabled.
This will disable SMT (less logical threads) but maximises single core performance.
