SAP HANA: Data provisioning using BI 4.

Data services
Hello Folks,
In this document, I would like to explain how to use Data services Workbench to load data
into your user schema in HANA.
Before loading a table you will have to consider two cases.
1. Do I need Table Meta data and Data?
2. Do I need only data?

If you dont have the required metadata in your user schema, you can use this
wizard to import the required Meta data before loading the data into the table.
This wizard will help me to load the Meta data (Table Schema) + data into my user schema
in HANA Studio.
The following are the steps for Data provisioning into HANA using Data services:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Choose Source Database

Choose tables to replicate
Choose target database
Choose runtime repository
Execute the replication job

Firstly log on to Business Objects Data services workbench as shown below:

Press Next to continue.

Choose Source Database:

In my example, am taking Source as HANA and Target as HANA. I am trying

to load a table from another user schema to my user schema. I would like to load
table named CE1IDEA from ECC6 schema to my schema.
So am choosing Database as HANA and am giving my ODBC Data source
HANA which I have for HANA database as shown below:

Choose target database:

Now we have to choose our target database as shown below:

We have only 3 options so far to choose as target database.

1. HANA
2. Sybase IQ
3. Teradata

As discussed above,I choose HANA as the target database as per the below
screen shot.

Now we have to monitor the job and as in our example we are trying to load table CE1IDEA
from ECC6 Schema to my user schema. Now execute the job as shown below:

As marked here we are choosing schema and data as we discussed earlier.

Here we can do those settings. Now we have to execute this "a.rep" job
Monitoring:
We can see the below screenshots:

Now as we see our job is successful and we have 6900963 rows loaded in just less than 10

Hope you understood about this new wizard. Which helps us in data provisioning? This
is just a basic guide. In my next document I will explain about using the scripts and other
functionality if we have any complex logic to be performed before loading.
Thanks for reading this document. Do comment your views.
