We are very happy to announce that HANA Rules Framework 1.00 SP07 is now available!
Here are the main highlights of this release:
New user management and authorization mechanism:
User management for SAP HANA rules framework (HRF) is now based on a set of application privileges, which provide a unique level of access to various functions within SAP HANA rules framework.
This new mechanism leverages the common SAP practice of using a technical user to access SAP HANA database artifacts.
'current' generated as a part of a term in the rule expression language (REL):
'current' (as indication for the data object in context of the rule) is now generated as a part of a term in the HRF rule expression language. Syntax: <attribute> of the current <data object> For example, instead of annual_income of the customer >= average of annual_income of all customers where country = current country of the customer, the syntax is now annual_income of the customer >= average of annual_income of all customers where country = country of current customer.
Value-list based rules are no longer description-dependent:
As of this release, using an expression that is based on a value-description list allows the following:
- Upon activation of the rule, the rule becomes autonomous. In other words, values in the description column can be updated in the origin master data tables/views at any time.
- Viewing/editing such rules will always provide the current description as appears in the origin view/table of the value list, regardless of the description given at the time of the activation.
For further details please refer to note 2259199 and to SAP HANA Rules Framework's official documentation on SAP Service Marketplace.
