UPDATE March 15, 2016

Thank You for you interest. Due to recent changes in the features offered in the SAP HANA Cloud Platform Trial Edition, some parts in the scenario below no longer reflect the current situation.

We are considering to update this playlist in the near future but do not have an estimated timeframe as yet.

Last month, Philip Mugglestone of the SAP HANA Academy recorded a new series of tutorial videos in which he shows how you can build an end-to-end real-time social media analytics application using the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.

The playlist of the series contains 37 videos in total, total duration almost 5 hours. The development project and application is called Live3.

The source data comes at no cost from a social media feed. The services are provided by the SAP HANA Cloud Platform developer edition, a free to use Platform as a Service (PaaS). The developer tools are available for the Windows, Linux and MacOS platforms, at no charge and this concerns two SAP plugins for the Eclipse IDE, the SAP HCP SDK and the open source Google Chrome runtime, Node.js. There are no prerequisites. you can start from scratch.

All content from this project is available on Github https://github.com/saphanaacademy/Live3HCP

Project Description

This enablement offering helps you get started with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform developer edition by walking through a step-by-step project to build a mobile application using real-time data feeds that combines sentiment analysis with predictive analytics whilst exploiting native development features of the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.

The Live3 project allows the CMO to better understand social network sentiment relating to his company, services, or products in order to identify those in a position of influence that publish negative sentiment – so that this segment they can be recruited into a specialized education program. The insight evolves in real-time as new data is posted to social media sites.

Live3 a native SAP HANA application built using the SAP HANA Cloud Platform – leveraging real-time data feeds from social media, data modeling in SAP HANA tools for Eclipse, native SAP HANA text analytics for sentiment analysis as well as native SAP HANA clustering for segmentation, SAP HANA extended application services (XS), OData, and SAP Web IDE to build an HTML5 application using SAPUI5. It can also easily be deployed as a native mobile app.

Whether you are new to SAP HANA Cloud Platform, or just looking to expand your knowledge, this is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.

1. Introduction

In the first video Philip discusses the components of the scenario to analyze streaming Twitter data using the SAP HANA Cloud Platform developer edition.

8. Setup node.js

In this video we will install node.js.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=gM4SGBxXJeA

See also Tom’s post: [SAP HANA Academy] Live3: Setup node.js

9. node.js Application

In this video we will review the node.js application that creates a local web server which accesses the Twitter streaming API, receives and parses tweets, then loads them into the Tweets table off our SAP HANA database.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=VCWMJoDEmWY

See also Tom’s blog post: [SAP HANA Academy] Live3: node.js Application

10. Setup HCP Tunnel

See also Tom’s blog post: [SAP HANA Academy] Live3: Load Tweets

12. Text Analysis

In this video we will perform text analysis using the native capabilities provides by SAP HANA in order to identify the sentiment of persons sending tweets – for example strong positive, weak positive, weak negative, or strong negative sentiment.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Dmo-ekJUe4M

See also Tom’s blog post: [SAP HANA Academy] Live3: Text Analysis

13. Influence & Stance View

In this video we will create a view containing scores for each tweeter based on influence and stance (attitude). Influence reflects how influential the tweeter is – for example # retweets and replies received by a user compared to retweets and replies sent by the user. Stance reflects whether the user is generally positive or negative based on the sentiment derived during text analysis. The influence and stance scores will be input to the upcoming clustering (or segmentation) step.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=PEt25w9EjGI

14. Explain Clustering

In this video we will learn more about the SAP HANA predictive analysis library (or PAL) and how it can be used to cluster (or segment) tweeters based on their influence and stance scores. We will review the k-means clustering algorithm.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=_9s_hIuiMjk

15. Perform Clustering

In this video we will review and run the SQL Script necessary to setup and execute k-means clustering analysis using the SAP HANA predictive analysis library. We will also create some views to be accessed subsequently via web services.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=xEGX64AUDiM

Hello Philip and thank you for these great series !

Unfortunately there is a problem on quering the tweets.

Although i enter “/do/start?track=%23SAPHANA%20” translating to #SAPHANA(space)

i get tweets that have nothing to do with this.

Especially from Greece. (where i live)

Is there any chance to me synced with my twitter account ?

What am i doing wrong?

Best regards,

Christoforos Verras

<edit>:

after lots of “debugging” i am now sure that it tracks also the tweets from the users i follow.

A solution might be to create a new account with no followers at all..

  Hi Christoforos,
  
  Thanks for the feedback.
  
  Indeed, I’d recommend creating a new twitter account that doesn’t follow anyone.
  
  For the filtering, the Twitter Streaming API is documented here and explains some of the subleties of how the filtering is designed to work: https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/overview/request-parameters#track

Hi Philip,

From past couple of weeks I have been extensively working on HCP and building Iot related scenarios. I came across one for your scenario of reading the tweets, processing it in XS engine and displaying it in nice HTML5 app.

First of all I must say its an amazing video showcasing the end to end scenario and really helpful for the people working on HCP.

In the set of those 37 videos, there is a video where you explain the usage of HANA Cloud connector and why is it necessary to use CC.

I want to understand couple of things here where I need your confirmation and guidance.

1) I have an Odata provider which comes from on premise ECC system.

2) I have an HTML5 app deployed on HCP.

3) I need to now create a destination in HCP to backend ECC system. For this I mandatorily need to use Cloud connector right ?

4) In your example you have used a proxy to connect html5 and native hana xs using CC. But this is only applicable for trial instance right. In the actual environment we don’t need to do that and HTML5 can directly connect to HANA XS via destination configuration?

Thanks in advance.

  Hi Rahul ,
  
  I have a question about the Twitter application.
  
  Do you only track for the word you want, or did you ever try to search for previously published tweets ?
  
  What I am trying to do is to use the search API instead of the streaming API.
  
  Any help would be appreciated !

  Hi Rahul,
  
  Thanks for the nice feedback.
  
  CC is needed when you have a back-end system that is not visible on the public internet i.e. behind some kind of firewall. CC runs on a machine behind the firewall and creates a “private tunnel” between that machine and your HCP account – this then means that HCP destinations can reach the back end system without having to make the back end system publicly visible on the internet. Make sense?
  
  So if you have a back-end system that’s behind a firewall, then yes use CC to enable HCP destinations to reach it. If however your back-end system is already visible on the public internet no need for CC – just point the HCP destinations to it directly.
  
  Yes, the use of CC to connect to HCP HANA XS only applies to the free developer trial of HCP. In HCP productive systems, HCP destinations can connect & authenticate directly.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Philip

Hi Philip

I have a question regarding setting up the HANA instance in HCP. We have currently set up a default instance. Can we set up a different HANA instance here. Why this question because we have Operational Process Intelligence running on a HANA box and through HANA XS application in HCP I want to push this data to a different HANA box where OPI is installed. Is it possible to do that?

      Hi Rahul,
      
      HCP only allows a single HANA instance in the developer trial. If you delete the one you currently have you can only then create a new empty one. The HCP starter edition in the production landscape allows multiple instances so might be better suited to your needs? Also, in the production landscape you won’t need the hana-auth-proxy (see video 23) to connect the HTML5 app to the HANA instance.
      
      Thanks,

Hi Joe,

This message sometimes appears when your node.js application is behind a firewall so it cannot reach the Twitter API. In that case it’s necessary to declare the proxy server.

As an alternative, I would recommend you try the Java app as covered in videos 39-42 rather than using Node.js. The Java app does the same thing (loading twitter data into HANA) but as it runs directly in HCP it doesn’t encounter the proxy issues.

Thanks,

Philip

As guided in video 41, when I run my project on server , it turned out to show:

The website declined to show this webpage

Most likely causes:

This website requires you to log in.

What you can try:

  Each tweet is immediately available via web services as soon as it has been loaded into HANA.
  
  Simply use the Tweets entity of the HANA XS Data service (services.xsodata):

      The TA_ table (= Text Analytics index) is updated incrementally as and when new tweets are loaded to the Tweets table. No need to stop the script for this. The clustering is re-run on a schedule – every few minutes. So you always get the latest info via web services with no need to stop the script. Philip

        No need to apply manually. You simply start the data loading and can use the UI (or any other tool that can access the HANA tables and views) to analyse the results. The tables are auto-refreshed by the system as new tweets are loaded. Philip

  Sounds like it may be a proxy issue. Are you behind a corporate firewall? If you’re unable to get direct access to the internet from this machine consider using the HCP Java app rather than nodeJS for Twitter loading. See videos 39-42.

The destination connection check works

However when trying out using the Web IDE it gives a gateway timeout

The proxy run screen shows like this at the same time:

What could be the problem? How can I resolve?

Thanks in advance,

Sujith

  Hi Sujith,
  
  Have you tried to run this with direct access to the internet i.e. not behind a corporate firewall?
  
  Thanks,

I am not able to connect to HANA MDC Trial instance using Node JS.

Node JS returns with following error-

app.js file contains following entry-

var hdb = hdb.createClient({

host     : ‘hana’,

port     : 30015,

user     : ‘DEV01’,

password : process.argv[2] // from command line

});

Can somebody please guide me on what exactly I have to change in the app.js file?

  Hello,
  
  Please note the comments at the top of this blog: Due to recent changes in the features offered in the SAP HANA Cloud Platform Trial Edition, some parts in the scenario below no longer reflect the current situation.
  
  This scenario was created prior to HANA MDC being available in the developer trial so the instructions are no longer current.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Philip
