Some Important Definations for SAP Hana part 1 :)

In this Document I will write about the important definitions for SAP HANA

This can serve as an important document to revise .I will publish more in future documents

indexserver	Index server is the main SAP HANA database component It contains the actual data stores and the engines for processing the data. The index server processes incoming SQL or MDX statements in the context of authenticated sessions and transactions.
statistic server	The statistics server collects information about status, performance and resource consumption from the other servers in the system.. The statistics server also provides a history of measurement data for further analysis.
xsengine	XS Engine is an optional component. Using XS Engine clients can connect to SAP HANA database to fetch data via HTTP.
Name Server	The name server owns the information about the topology of SAP HANA system. In a distributed system, the name server knows where the components are running and which data is located on which server.
Hana Live	Real-Time operational reporting directly on your Suite on HANA system without any redundancy or latency. Alternatively in a sidecar scenario next to your existing SAP Business Suite deployment. SAP HANA Live provides SAP-delivered content (similar in concept like SAP BW content), in form of SAP HANA calculation views for real-time operational reporting. The content is represented as a VDM – virtual data model, which is based on the transactional and master data tables of the SAP Business Suite. The SAP HANA Studio is the SAP HANA application where the calculation views for these VDM are developed and maintained.
attribute views	In the language of SAP Netweaver Business Warehouse , attribute views are like Dimension, but with difference is that attribute views are fully reusable throughout the system and not stuck up to a single model. Simplifying, these are views on one or more table that can be reused for different purpose. Example : An attribute view “FLIGHT” can show together Airline Code, Airline Connection Number and flight Date into one Object. This attribute view can be used in analytical and calculation views where entities are relevant. Generally attribute views represent master data.But, however technically there is no restriction and its possible to make attribute views on transaction data.
analytical views	Again, in the language on SAP BW analytical views can be roughly compared with Info Cubes or Info Sets in SAP ERP. As same it joins together one central fact table with contains transaction data to report on, with number of tables or attribute views. You can create variables in an analytical view.
calculation views	Calculation views can be referred as combination of tables, attributes views and analytical views to deliver a complex business requirement. They offer to combine different analytical views into one source of data for reporting.
