Fiori & Analytics with

Matthias Bollen, Tobias Trapp

AOK Systems GmbH

The Challenge

• with HANA we have the chance to establish analytical features forFiori apps

• some use cases:

– aggregation of all relevant data associated to a business object

– exploratory data analysis

• SAP has different frameworks for charting

– Overview Page

– Analysis Path Framework

– Smart Business for Analytical Fiori Apps which has own charts but also can use APF

The Main Idea

• All data are in memory so we can

perform flexible slicing and dicing

• APF allows to define cubes from

OData sources by configuration – no

coding required

• An analysis path defines a slicing and

dicing operation using filters

Filtering

• Filtering is quite common andyou can use your own JS frameworks– DC.js https://dc-js.github.io/dc.js/

– crossfilterhttp://square.github.io/crossfilter/

• Drawback:– no flexible enough

– tedious implementation

• With APF only configuration ☺

Typical Use Cases

for APF

• Working Capital Analytics

• Results/Computations of AutomatedProcesses

• Analysis of Workflows & Workitems

• Analysis of Dispute Cases

… and Navigation to a Semantic Object withthe context for insight to action scenarios

Technical Background

• HANA with APF Framework („HANA Live“)

• HANA Calculation Views (f.e. VDM) exposed as XSOData(or OData exposed from BW on HANA)

• Fiori Frontend Server with FLP, APF & Smart Business components & and at least SAPUI5 1.28 – better: 1.32

• Web Dispatcher

• Everything you need to know is described here:http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-59620
