Lesson: Introducing the SAP HANA Studio

Like most Eclipse-based development environments, SAP HANA studio provides several
perspectives within the Eclipse workbench.
Each perspective is tailored for particular groups of tasks and is a pre-configured set of panes
called views. Examples of perspectives are as follows:
● Administration Console – to administer, monitor and configure SAP HANA systems
● Modeler – to develop information models and database procedures
● SAP HANA development – to develop native SAP HANA-based applications using SAP
HANA extended application services

Examples of views are as follows:

● Systems – visible in most SAP HANA perspectives and showing the list of SAP HANA
systems the IDE is connected to
● Properties – showing properties of the currently selected object, for example, of a
configured SAP HANA system
● Job log – showing the list of recent jobs performed, for example, imports of development
objects and activations

Figure 15: Most Relevant Perspective For ABAP Developers: Modeler

The Modeler is the perspective most relevant for ABAP developers. It provides access to the
views and database procedures that you can consume in the ABAP environment. You can
open it using the menu item Window→ Open Perspective or the Open Perspective button in
the toolbar.
A central part of this perspective is the Systems view on the left-hand side. This view contains
a list of systems. Each system represents a logon to an SAP HANA system with a particular
user. Systems can be grouped in folders to structure the list.
