It's a good news.
How about DAS (direct attached storage) files for shared nothing MPP – phase 1?
This is not in the "What's New" guide for IQ 16 SP08. I have heard that this is to be in the GA release of SP09 with a ramp up to begin with limited customers shortly. HANA and IQ product management can speak to the exact release cycle for this new feature. I know that I can't wait to get my hands on it and test it out!!
I looked at the bugs list and there is also a long list of resolved issues which is good news. A few questions!
- Why the move to SP08? Is this to align with HANA?
- What would be the benefits for NLS customers? I don't see anything hugely beneficial?
Thanks!
John,
A move was made to synchronize and align the IQ and HANA version numbers (SP numbers). This was officially done in the SP08 release. There is so much integration between the two products over the past few years, that it made sense to align the version numbers so as to keep things straight for our customers.
With respect to BW NLS, there were features added. First, there were numerous patches and performance enhancements to both SP08 releases. Second, there were a few more integration points added like:

Thanks Mark, that's helpful. Agreed on the version sync, that makes it clear for customers. Provides an interesting question for my customer who moved to IQ SP03 for NLS, and is now migrating to HANA SPS08. Should they update IQ so they are on SPS08 of both, or does it not matter? By the way amusing that HANA uses SPS08 and IQ uses SP08!
I think that if the IQ team moved to a similar structure to the HANA product management for releases, this information would be easier to disseminate. Currently you have to dig into text files attached to the SAP Note to get intel.
Shame that the extended table concept only works on IQ/Linux! Any plans to port that to other platforms?
Any timeframe for the SP08 manuals to be available?
I checked SAP IQ – SAP Help Portal Page and SyBooks Online and they are not there, nor are the in SP08 download.
There were issues with the portal and posting last week. That should be resolved in the next few days.
