2.4 SAP HANA Dynamic Tiering
SAP HANA dynamic tiering adds smart, disk-based extended storage to your SAP HANA database. Dynamic
tiering enhances SAP HANA with large volume, warm data management capabilities.
A multistore table is a partitioned SAP HANA table that has at least one partition in SAP HANA and other
partitions in dynamic tiering extended storage. Dynamic tiering provides extended storage as an alternate
physical store for SAP HANA table partitions. Multistore tables are managed and monitored just like other
columnar tables, but offer the advantages of disk-based storage for less frequently accessed data through
extended storage.
Hot data is valuable, frequently accessed business data; warm data is accessed less frequently and is less
valuable. By using dynamic tiering to place hot data in SAP HANA in-memory tables, and warm data in either
extended tables or multistore tables, the highest value data remains in-memory, and cooler less-valuable data
is saved in the extended store. This can reduce the size of your in-memory database.
The following features are available:

2.4.1 Database Services
Feature Description
Store and access data ● Store warm data on disk, in compressed format, in ex
tended tables or multistore tables. Multistore tables
have at least one partition in SAP HANA, and other par
titions in extended storage.

and HANA tables; move data into column-based ex
tended tables from an external source; move data into
partitioned multistore tables from an external source.
● Manage extended and multistore tables using SQL or
graphical tools
● Monitor extended and multistore tables using graphical
tools
● Convert SAP HANA tables to extended or multistore ta
bles
● Load data using all data provisioning technologies sup
ported by SAP HANA including (but not limited to) SAP
HANA smart data integration, and the SAP Landscape
Transformation Replication Server
Provision database ● Install the dynamic tiering portion of an SAP HANA sys
tem

2.5 SAP HANA Accelerator for SAP ASE
The accelerator for SAP ASE adds real-time analytics to the SAP ASE database engine by leveraging SAP
HANA. After the analytics data is moved from SAP ASE into SAP HANA, SAP ASE users can run reports in SAP
HANA using their existing ASE TSQL code.
Data that is moved into SAP HANA is accessed as proxy tables in SAP ASE, enabling the ASE TSQL code to
continue to work without changes; while the accelerator converts the ASE TSQL code and the SAP HANA result
sets on-the-fly between SAP ASE and SAP HANA.
You can also use the SAP HANA accelerator for SAP ASE to accelerate SAP ASE stored procedures (not OTLP
applications) by pushing down the stored procedure execution to SAP HANA. Minimal or no code changes to

the existing stored procedures are needed. The stored procedures continue to execute against the SAP ASE
reporting server with the execution being pushed to SAP HANA. The results are brought back to SAP ASE and
then sent to the client SAP ASE application.
Feature Description
Use integrated analytics ● Run reports on SAP HANA by using pushdown logic to
convert ASE TSQL code on-the-fly to SAP HANA code
Accelerate existing SAP ASE reporting applications ● Accelerate existing SAP ASE reporting applications
such as stored procedures and queries using SAP
HANA; while the client applications continue to run
against SAP ASE, the reporting logic is pushed to SAP

3.4 SAP HANA Dynamic Tiering
SAP HANA dynamic tiering adds smart, disk-based extended storage to your SAP HANA database. Dynamic
tiering enhances SAP HANA with large volume, warm data management capabilities.
A multistore table is a partitioned SAP HANA table that has at least one partition in SAP HANA and other
partitions in dynamic tiering extended storage. Dynamic tiering provides extended storage as an alternate
physical store for SAP HANA table partitions. Multistore tables are managed and monitored just like other
columnar tables, but offer the advantages of disk-based storage for less frequently accessed data through
extended storage.
Hot data is valuable, frequently accessed business data; warm data is accessed less frequently and is less
valuable. By using dynamic tiering to place hot data in SAP HANA in-memory tables, and warm data in either
extended tables or multistore tables, the highest value data remains in-memory, and cooler less-valuable data
is saved in the extended store. This can reduce the size of your in-memory database.

Feature Description
Perform initial load ● Load the existing data from the source system to SAP
HANA (the initial load)
● In parallel to the initial load, by means of database trig
gers, detect data changes that occur while the initial
load process is running, save these changes to the log
ging tables, and transfer them to the target system (af
ter the initial load has completed)
Replicate data changes ● Replicate changes to source system tables to SAP

HANA in near real time
● After the initial load has completed, continue to monitor
the tables in the source system and replicate changes to
these tables (also known as delta data) to SAP HANA

4 SAP HANA, Active/Active Read-Enabled
Option
The active/active read-enabled feature enhances the existing high availability and disaster recovery capabilities
of SAP HANA system replication. In an active/active read-enabled configuration, reporting load is taken from

 Note
SAP HANA server software and tools can be used for several SAP HANA platform and options scenarios as
well as the respective capabilities used in these scenarios. The availability of these is based on the available
SAP HANA licenses and the SAP HANA landscape, including the type and version of the back-end systems
the SAP HANA administration and development tools are connected to. There are several types of licenses
available for SAP HANA. Depending on your SAP HANA installation license type, some of the features and
tools described in the SAP HANA platform documentation may only be available in the SAP HANA options
and capabilities, which may be released independently of an SAP HANA Platform Support Package Stack
(SPS). Although various features included in SAP HANA options and capabilities are cited in the SAP HANA
platform documentation, each SAP HANA edition governs the options and capabilities available. Based on
this, customers do not necessarily have the right to use features included in SAP HANA options and
capabilities. For customers to whom these license restrictions apply, the use of features included in SAP
HANA options and capabilities in a production system requires purchasing the corresponding software
license(s) from SAP. If you have additional questions about what your particular license provides, or wish to
discuss licensing features available in SAP HANA options, please contact your SAP account team
representative.
