The ultimate set of HANA related links from SAP
As part of my adventure on learning HANA – especially on AWS – I’ve put together that I call the “ultimate set of HANA links” so that I can find what I need easily. It’s a compilation of links that I followed by looking up documents and then clicking on the related documents and then categorizing them. With out further ado, here are the links.

Impressive list! Now tell me, Bill: did you read all of this?
Thanks Juergen - I have to admit that I haven't spent as much time reading the Solutions and BOBJ related topics as my focus is more around application development with HANA 😀 BOBJ will change in a hurry as I look to spin up a BOBJ AWS instance next week. The nice thing that you all have done was to reuse links for the upgraded SPS5 content. Then only link I needed to add was the What's new link.
Regards,
Bill
Very exhaustive and definitely useful. Than you sir!
Hi Bill,
that is indeed an excellent list,
also make sure to checkout the Hana section of the SAP NetWeaver Basis Administrator's Toolbox Wiki:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=309461179
That is the longest list of Hana related How-To and Guidance OSS Notes and Documentation available in one location on the Internet !
All the best, great blog,
Andy.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Community/Andy+Silvey%27s.......SAP+NetWeaver+Basis+Administrator%27s+Toolbox...
Thanks Andy for the additional learning vector.
I know there is a wealth of hidden information in the OSS notes - but for HANA on AWS developers who aren't "official" SAP customers - it's a black box. 🙁
Hopefully, Juergen and company representing the interests of developers will convince SAP to open this valuable information up.
Regards,
Bill
Hi Bill,
agreed and seconded.
All the best,
Andy.
BTW - Andy - you have an awesome list as well. I missed the ultimate link the http://www.experiencesaphana.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/2171-102-4-4396/SAPHANA_TechnicalDocumentsV2.zip which has internal presentations from SAP on HANA. It's a little dated - hopefully someone will update the zip file for SPS5.
Thanks,
Bill
Hi Bill,
I've added your Blog to the SAP NetWeaver Basis Administrator's Toolbox 😉
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Community/Andy+Silvey%27s.......SAP+NetWeaver+Basis+Administrator%27s+Toolbox...
Great blog,
Andy.
Hi Bill,
Really appreciate your exhaustive list of links/resources.
I just wanted to say that the link - http://www.experiencesaphana.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/2171-102-4-4396/SAPHANA_TechnicalDocumentsV2.zip
does NOT take me to a place where I can download something (as I was expecting). Instead, I am taken to the "About HANA" page of hana.sap.com (
http://hana.sap.com/abouthana.html )
Could you please take a look at this once and let me know where I can download this Doc 2171. Thanks for your time and effort.
Really a useful blog. Quite Helpful as a single point of reference that saves lots of research time.
Excellent references under one roof.
Oh, wow, one consildated list of all the useful resources. Its really very helpful for me to get the right and important list of resources in single location with no time
Just added link to BusinessObjects on AWS - https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B008UH7634/ref=portal_asin_url to the Analytics section.
Enjoy,
Bill
Hi,
Nice Blog
Thanks,
Syam
Formated as a bookmark file (make possible to import links into your browser): https://www.dropbox.com/s/iphcifahy9o7clg/hana%20links.html
Great idea!
Great set of links. Would be even better if this is maintained on an ongoing basis.
Hi Sudarshan,
Bill has made a wonderful job of cataloging the Hana doco in his ultimate set of links.
Regarding Hana doco updated on a regular basis, if you keep an eye on the
SAP NetWeaver Basis Administrator's Toolbox...
the links there and especially the Hana section are updated and added on an almost daily basis.
All the best,
Andy.
Hi Friends,
RDL - River definition language.
Can some one help me with RDL documents and RDL scripting syntax.
Thanks,
Shakthi Raj.
Thanks a lot for the Links. They were really very useful. I cleared my HANATEC exam couple of days back and the above mentioned links covers all the topics.
Hi Team,
Can some one clarify me, whether any huge difference between HANA_ADM SPS05 and SPS06, and to appear in this SAP TechEd certification - C_HANATEC_1, HANA_ADM SPS05 material is sufficient or do we need SPS06 as manadatory. Please help me. Thanks
You missed one...
