Re: Why do we need HANA for SAP Fiori Analytical Apps

HI Jasua;

SAP has designed the applications like that.

Any standard analytical application will make a call for odata service to HANA XS engine which eventually fetched the data using Virtual data models. It provides the required data at a much faster speed than if the call would have gone through SAP NetWeaver Gateway system.

So I guess  to make it faster SAP is using this design.

However if you want to develop some application based on query in BI/BW, you have a provision to expose this as Odata service.
