management and load control.
Question: 2 What is the role of the persistence layer in
SAP HANA?

Answer:
SAP HANA has an in-memory computing engine and access
the data straightaway without any backup. To avoid the risk of
losing data in case of hardware failure or power cutoff,
persistence layer comes as a savior and stores all the data in
the hard drive which is not volatile.
Question: 3
What are the different editions available in
HANA appliance software?
Answer:
Platform Edition:Platform edition is intended for customers
who want to use ETL-based replication and already have a
license for SAP BO Data Services.
Enterprise Edition:Enterprise edition is intended for
customers who want to use either trigger-based replication or
ETL-based replication and do not already have all of the
necessary licenses for SAP BO Data Services.
Question: 5 What is modeling
studio?
Answer:Modeling studio in HANA performs multiple task like
Declares which tables are stored in HANA, first part is to get the meta-data and then
schedule data replication jobs.
Manage Data Services to enter the data from SAP Business Warehouse and other
systems.
Manage ERP instances connection, the current release does not support connecting
to several ERP instances.
Use data services for the modeling.
Do modeling in HANA itself.
essential licenses for SAP BO data services.
Question: 5 What is columnar and
Row-Based Data Storage?
Answer:
A database table contains data in the form of rows and columns.
However Computer memory is organized as a linear structure. To
store a table in linear memory, there are two options. A row-
based storage stores a table as a sequence of records, each of
which contains the fields of one row. In a columnar storage the
entries of a column are stored in contiguous memory locations.
The SAP HANA database allows specifying whether a table is to
be stored column-wise or row-wise. It is also possible to alter an
existing table from columnar to row-based and vice versa.
Search operations in tabular data can be accelerated by
organizing data in columns instead in rows.
Question: 6
what are the different compression
techniques?
Answer:
There are three different compression techniques
Run-length encoding
Cluster encoding
Dictionary encoding
Question: 7 What are the advantages of
Column based tables?
Answer:
Answer:
Calculations are typically executed on single or a few columns only.
The table is searched based on values of a few columns.
The table has a large number of columns.
The table has a large number of rows and columnar operations are
required (aggregate, scan, etc.).
High compression rates can be achieved because the majority of
the columns contain only few distinct values (compared to number
of rows).
Question: 8
Mention what is the advantage of SLT
replication?
Answer:
SAP SLT works on trigger based approach; such approach has no
measurable performance impact in the source system.
It offers filtering capability and transformation.
It enables real-time data replication, replicating only related data into
HANA from non-SAP and SAP source systems.
It is fully integrated with HANA studios.
Replication from several source systems to one HANA system is
allowed, also from one source system to multiple HANA systems is
allowed.
