BEFORE YOU START

In this Hands-on session BA275 you have the opportunity to select your exercises depending on your
personal area of interest. You find the solutions to all exercises as reference – this way you can also
see the solution of the exercises you did not finish. However, we recommend that you go through all
exercises in the chapters 1 to 4 as this follows a logical flow and the exercises build upon each other.
You do not have to finish all exercises. There are solution templates for all parts. Consult the instructor
to find out which template objects to use in an exercise in case you did not finish your own ones.
All object names you will create do contain your group number for the purpose of uniqueness.
Thus please always replace the string “##” in this handout with your individual group number!

models can be found in Content  sap
 hba and we are especially interested
in the one in package “ecc”
3. Provisioning: Tools to provision data to
SAP HANA (e.g. ETL-tools, Replication
servers)
4. Security: Users, Roles and
Authorizations
6
BA275
Exercise 2: Understand the basics of working with tables and SAP HANA Live Views in
SAP HANA Studio.
In this exercise you analyze a SAP ERP-table from SD (Sales and Distribution), VBRK (Header of
Billing document). This table is one of the key sources of our SAP HANA Live model which you will
analyze at the end of this exercise.
In the Systems view in the top left, find the

tables of SAP ERP on SAP HANA, System ID

Change to the tab Runtime Information to

see, that there are 31.176 records in this table
and the memory consumption of this column
store table is around 3 KB
Again, select VBRK table from the Systems

view and choose Open Data Preview from
the context menu.
Tab Raw Data: See the first 200 records of

table VBRK
Tab Distinct values: See the distribution of

values for all fields. E.g. See that there are
31.173 records (i.e. billing documents) for
Client 800.
8
BA275
Tab Analysis: Explore the data even more.
1. Drag&Drop VKORG into the Labels axis

2. Drag&Drop NETWR into the Values axis
3. Sort NETWR in descending order
4. Change graphic to pie chart
Result:
Sales organization 1000 is most successful.

Back in the Systems view, close the Catalog

node and open the Content node. Within there
go to:
saphbaeccCalculation Views
This is the place where SAP HANA Live

Views have been deployed to.
In the alphabetic list find

BillingDocumentQuery.
Select Open Data Preview from the context

menu.
This SAP HANA Live Views requests to define

a variable value for SAP client. Enter 800 and

CHAPTER 2: WORKING WITH SAP HANA LIVE VIEWS IN SAP LUMIRA
Overview
Objective
In the following exercises you will learn to work with a SAP Hana Live view in SAP Lumira
 SAP Lumira: Create Visualizations and compose a dashboard
Exercise 1: SAP Lumira

In this exercise we will introduce SAP Lumira.
Minimize SAP HANA Studio and open SAP

Lumira via the Windows Start Menu: Start 
SAP  SAP Business Intelligence  SAP
Lumira  SAP Lumira
The main window of Lumira should be visible.
12
BA275
From here, select File  New to create a new

dataset
We will take the data from Hana, so select

“Connect to SAP HANA”  Next
For the logon, use again the same server and

credentials:
Server: LT5082.wdf.sap.corp
Instance: 01
Your User and (changed) password
 Connect
13
BA275
You can now search for a specific view using

the whole name or parts of it. In the entry field,
enter BillingDocumentItem.
For execution in Lumira, select/doubleclick the
view BillingDocumentItemQuery.
The parameter screen comes up: Enter 800

for the SAP Client
The fields of the view are displayed. We will

not do any changes here, so just press Create
14
BA275
The Visualize-screen of Lumira will be shown
For the start, just dag&drop Item Net Amount

of Billing to the X-Axis field,
and Distribution Channel Name to the Y-Axis.
The resulting graphic shows the distribution of

billing mounts as a bar-chart.
This is our first visualization.
Now create an additional visual by clicking on

the “+” sign in the lower part of the screen.
15
BA275
Select the chart type “Pie Chart”.
Add the Billing Quantity field to the “Size”

section and the Plant field to the “Color”.

Select the table icon in the upper part of the
screen.
We will now also set a necessary filter by

clicking on the filter-icon in the upper part of
the screen.
16
BA275
The dimension for which we set a filter is

“Transaction currency”
We only want to see Euro-values, so select

the “EUR” from the list.
Important:
As this filter has to be applied to all visuals,
we select the radio button “Apply to Entire
Dataset”.
So even that we did not select a filter for the
first two visuals, the data shown in those will
now also be filtered by Transaction currency.
Press “Apply”
17
BA275
Drag&drop Billing Quantity, Item Net

Amount… and Tax Amount to the
“Measueres” section.
Drag&drop the Sales Organization Name to

the “Rows”.
The result should look close to the

screenshot.
We will now use the visuals to create a simple

dashboard.
Click on “Compose” in the upper part of the
screen and select the “Blank” Template from
the window that opens.
This will open a blank page
18
BA275
Now drag&drop the three visuals on the left

one-by-one on the blank page and arrange
them as you like.
You can resize the space a visual occupies
with your mouse.
The result could look like the screenshot.
We want to add the ability to filter the data in

the dashboard on additional dimensions.
Select “Input Controls” in the pane on the left.
19
BA275
Drag&drop the Distribution Channel Name

from the list of fields onto the page where the
visuals are already located.
In the control properties, select “List-box”.

This will show all members of this dimension
and allow an easy selection.
Now select any of the shown Distribution

Channels.
The data in the charts and the table will

change accordingly.
20
BA275
Add/change the selection if you like
Using the “File”-menu, you can now save the

entire document, including the visuals and the
composed dashboard.
