The ABAP Platform Examples for Analytical Data Modeling do not only contain code snippets or example analytical queries but also the analytical data model as well as data generators that complete the SAP flight model. So together with the SAP flight model, this repository represents the "Feature Showcase App" for embedded analytics in the ABAP Platform.

Exploring Features

The main features that are shown in this repository relate to the analytical queries. The procedure to explore the feature is to find the right query using the different content sections in this wiki. Once you found the feature using the navigation tree on the right, you can review the description as well as the linked source code and finally open the query using the data preview in your own system. This will open the query in the multidimensional Fiori app where you can see the feature as the end user will use it.

The views that form the star schema are located in the root package whereas the analytical queries are mostly located in the sub-package /DMO/ANA_FLIGHT_QUERY:

  1. Star Schema - The analytical data model (Star- or Snowflake Schema): Cubes, dimensions, hierarchies and text views
  2. Calculated and Restricted Key Figures (CKF & RKF) - Working with formulas
  3. Dimensions (DIM) - How to deal with texts, attributes, etc.
  4. Parameters and Variables (PAR) - How to define and work with parameters and variables
  5. Hierarchies (HIE) - How to define and use hierarchies
  6. Structures (STR) - Working with structures: Measures, Characteristics and Cell
  7. OLAP Features (OLP) - Advanced features or the analytical engine

Setup

The basic steps are:

  1. Clone the SAP flight model into your SAP System & activate it.
  2. Afterwards, clone the ABAP Platform Examples for Analytical Data Modeling (this repo) into the same system and activate the objects as well.
  3. Finally, generate data & configure the currency conversion rates.
