Based on SAP HANA SPS 11

Update 1.6.2017 #

Retesting the APPLY_FILTER() approach on rev. 112.07 showed that it is now possible to simply hand APPLY_FILTER() an IN condition with a list of integers.

Far fetched… #

A colleague asked me over a year ago (2015 and SPS 9 … sounds ancient now, I know) whether it is possible to leverage information models in a different SAP HANA instance via SDA (Smart Data Access - look it up in the documentation if you didn’t know this yet).

Today’s tidbit is one of those little dumb things that happen every now and then and when I think: “Great, now this doesn’t work… WTF…?” Usually that’s a bit frustrating for me as I like to think that I know how stuff works around here (here, meaning my work area, tools, etc.).

Things keep changing around here!

Fellow Community members, readers and otherwise interested!

Today I share a change in the organisation of this community. Last week I returned the moderator and space editor privileges and the duties that come with those.

Fresh out of the Christmas/New Year vacation I yesterday received this question from one of my colleagues:

Hi Lars

I am trying to set up a demo to show MDC at FKOM.
I am trying to configure MDC via the Python script method – although I have an issue where I am missing a file – the error from the convertMDC.Py script says “no module named ConfigMgr.Py".
I remember you demoed this method at the Architecture Summit in Sydney – did you come across this issue?"

(He was talking about this nice event and the Multi Database Container feature of SAP HANA.)
