The original “Whitepaper – SAP HANA System Landscape Guide” has been written for the meanwhile outdated SPS 07 of SAP HANA.
For current information please consult the SAP HANA Master Guide (http://help.sap.com/hana/SAP_HANA_Master_Guide_en.pdf) on SAP HANA Platform (Core) – SAP Help Portal Page.

The attached document is mainly intended for architects, system administrators, project managers, and others working with SAP HANA. It is intended to provide an overview of the various aspects that are most relevant and important to understand and consider when planning a system landscape which features SAP HANA.
The following topics are covered in this document, as they relate to SAP HANA and its system landscape:
- Use cases and scenarios
- Architectural concepts
- Deployment options
- Content lifecycle management (i.e. transport)
- Data provisioning
- Business continuity
Here is the first edition of the whitepaper “SAP HANA System Landscape Guide”. We are interested in your feedback, please feel free to comment. Also, if you have questions about any of the content or related topics, please feel free to ask them here.
Nice doc. Maybe this should reside in http://help.sap.com/hana_appliance though?

Thanks John. I’ll bring it up to the KM colleagues and see if they want to feature it there.

I would have a question about the White Paper and, in particular, about the new architecture of SAP HANA from SPS07.
From SPS07 is it possible install two applications running BW component like “BW on HANA” and ” BPC on HANA” in MCOD configuration ( in two different schemas) in a production environment?
Luca
See SAP Note 1661202 – Support for multiple applications on SAP HANA
The answer is no, it is not possible. Only one BW schema is possible on one HANA DB.
Luca,
if I get you right you intend to run a single BWonHANA instance in combination with SAP BPC in different schemas on top of the very same HANA engine .. this will be supported by SAP in production according to the ‘white list’ in SAP note 1661202 John already mentioned.

Hi Jens,
Looks like pretty old post. Do we have a new version of this doc? If yes can you please share it?
BR,

Hi Jens,
This document is not covering the latest SP09 feature MDC. Can you please update this guide to include the same.
Regards,
Paraschand
This was a very informative document. Is there an updated version available?

Nice overview, but it definitely needs an update covering …
Sorry to say that, but its just outdated and no serious source of information for planning and designing.
Kind regards, Rudi
To refresh such kind of knowledge a good starting point probably is https://blogs.saphana.com/2016/04/28/ifg-webinar-series-get-ready-sap-hana-sps12
https://blogs.saphana.com/2016/04/28/ifg-webinar-series-get-ready-sap-hana-sps12/
This link works …
Does anyone know why there is no reaction to our questions for such a long time?
I tried to ask this by using “Alert Moderator” – no way …
??? Rudi
This is a free forum here where you will find tons of outdated documents. If you look at the time of creation I think that is normal. Also the author has not logged on for three years now.
Just that a document is outdated and that you get also no reponse from the author is NO reason to report it.
If you need help and you do not find the right information here, please create a discussion marked as question (with the specific things you cannot solve or wanna maybe know) or contact your SAP responsible.
Thx & Regards,
Florian
Sorry to say that, Florian, but i disagree in some points:
Nix für ungut!

Hi Rudi,
I can understand your point of view and that you expectations on content published by SAP colleagues. The expectations are all valid for official information and I would say, all in all the colleagues concerned with managing the official content do a pretty good job (help.sap.com, service.sap.com, sap.com).
Having the same level of content quality for SCN content would be nice.
As usual in real life, things are not always that simple, though.
Handovers are not always possible and the current SCN platform doesn’t allow for easy content maintenance (one of the big problems, that are hopefully going to be solved with the new platform).
As a matter of fact, we (internally) struggled quite a bit with other documents as well to ensure that old versions are identifiable as such and that there is at least a link to a more current version. This document clearly slipped through for that.
SCN moderators are, just as Florian pointed out, not a sort of quality police and expecting active management of published content from them/us is quite a bit, considering that no moderator actually gets paid for this.
As it is, SCN is still a volunteer community of, by and for professionals in the SAP space.
The “Alert Moderator” button is meant to report breaches of The SCN Rules of Engagement which wasn’t the case here and that is what Florian commented on.
So, I’d say reaching out to moderation directly via PM was a good choice. After all, this is a community of people and people usually don’t communicate via alerts or undirected comments. Reaching out and getting in touch: whole different story!
With that I hope to close the chapter on this old bit of documentation.
Cheers
Lars
p.s. I worked in 1st level support for the first half of my SAP life and I know a number of awesome colleagues there…
Just like most other content here on SCN, this document was provided as-is, without any maintenance attached to it.
That’s what we have the official documentation for.
By now the major part of the content has been included in the standard SAP HANA documentation: SAP HANA Master Guide – SAP Library
(also as PDF http://help.sap.com/hana/SAP_HANA_Master_Guide_en.pdf)
The Master Guide is the single point of entry for all questions around SAP HANA landscape architecture and design.
Other, possibly related topics, like S/4 HANA, HEC and HCP are of course covered in their respective documentations and not mingled together into this document (just because they have HANA in their name…).
Hope that helps.
Thanks very much, Lars!
