in-memory-based platform for building smart innovative applications. IT leaders and management of these applications. Hence, there is a need for a very simple, state-of-the-art development platform which is self-optimized for advanced in-memory technology. ‘SAP River’, a new development language and programming model for rapidly developing a complete SAP HANA application is the answer. SAP River is a new, highly expressive development language that allows a developer to design and specify all the elements of a business application like data model, business logic and access control within a single, coherent and integrated program specification. Applications are then cross-compiled to run natively in SAP HANA, and exposed via O-Data.

The language syntax is familiar, declarative, object-oriented and modular. It is fully compatible with existing SAP HANA objects, like tables, views, and stored procedures. You describe entities, relationships, views and actions and SAP River will build things like database tables, entity relationships, stored procedures, views and O-Data services. All you have to build on top of this is a UI layer which can consume O-Data.

OUR VISION: HANA-CENTRIC DEVELOPMENT MODEL Achieve a real-time enterprise through a HANA-centric architecture that leverages the best-in-class features of ABAP7.4, XSJS, River and HANA SQLScript resulting in applications that can run with exceptional response times and deliver excellent user experience.

Create data models (Cal Views, Analytical View, SQLScript Procedures) that push down complex calculations and business logic to HANA Complement the developments done in ABAP7.4, XSJS, SAP River by enabling efficient and optimal data processing scripts

ABAP is for application development on the SAP Netweaver Application Server. SAP River Definition Language is for native artefact generation on SAP HANA.

With ABAP on SAP HANA, ABAP applications are accelerated via performing data intensive calculations in the SAP HANA DB rather than the application layer. Here is an opportunity to drive synergies between SAP River Definition Language and ABAP by developing data intensive applications using SAP River Definition Language on SAP HANA and consuming these generated artefacts from ABAP.

Also, SAP River Definition Language Applications can invoke existing ABAP business logic via web service calls to an AS ABAP system. Thus, these two languages can inter-operate to help build applications rapidly. For developers it offers a means to use the ‘right tool for the right job’.

OUR EXPERIENCES WITH SAP RIVER RETAIL INTELLIGENCE DASHBOARD Wipro and SAP jointly developed an application called ‘Retail Intelligence’ for a leading Hi-Tech manufacturer in the US. Problem Scenario: Analysis of Point of Sale (PoS) information in real-time, clear view of channel inventory and visibility of SKU levels at the most granular level. High volumes – often in the order of 100 million records per year make real-time analysis extremely difficult. Solution: There was a need for a native application to be built on HANA due to the high data volumes and real-time insights required. The solution is developed iteratively using SAP River Definition Language. This information is made accessible via multiple channels. Users can slice-n-dice the data in real-time through drill-downs and filters. Inventory forecast generated by the system can as well be updated from the same application.

VENDOR BALANCES DASHBOARD An application that complements your business suite systems when SAP-River-based applications can leverage the ERP data models to build enhanced business processes or extend the CORE business processes. Problem Scenario: Customer has a SAP Finance system where the number of accounting documents per year is in the order of 25 million. Reconciliation of this voluminous data and fault isolation becomes a time-consuming task. Solution: Set up a side-car system where the required data was replicated in real-time and a reconciliation report was developed natively on SAP HANA. SAP River was used for this purpose to do a rapid build. SAPUI5-based user interface was developed that allows the report to be accessed on any device.

PEOPLEPRO For our internal People Supply Chain scenario. Problem Scenario: High volume of data as well as the complexity of the calculations to allocate the available man-power in the most efficient manner so as to maximize the profitability of the allocation. Solution: Set up a real-time data feed into SAP HANA. The application is developed to run natively on SAP HANA; the business rules and calculations are expressed in SAP River Definition Language and a SAPUI5-based interface is integrated with this SAP River application

LOOKING AHEAD SAP River is a rapid application development platform. All you have to do is to express what you want to build and SAP River builds everything for you. It is not only Rapid, but it also classy and user friendly. SAP River does not demand expensive systems or puts a huge demand for experience in development. By opting for SAP-River-based native SAP HANA application build, we are noticing a huge potential for higher developer productivity, shorter development lifecycle (to a tune of 15-25%), smaller bill of material, better lifecycle management, and superior application construction experience when compared to traditional application development technologies.
