Access to SAP HANA XSA Objects

SAP HANA XSA (SAP HANA Extended Application Services Advanced Model) is the successor version of SAP HANA XSC.

SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA and SAP HANA Cockpit are used to develop and manage the native HANA objects in XSA. Deployment usually takes place (using HDI (SAP HANA Deployment Infrastructure) as HDI objects in HDI containers that usually represent database schemas in the SAP HANA database.

Special ABAP-managed HDI container (AMHCs) can be defined for HDI objects accessed from ABAP. SAP HANA Transport for ABAP (HTA) provides these containers with an interface to the Change and Transport System. The definition of an AMHC includes a logical HDI container that can be specified directly as a logical schema in the AMDP macro $ABAP.schema. This makes simple access to HDI objects possible from AMDP.

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54


Notes

  • AMDP methods should be the preferred way of accessing the HDI objects in SAP HANA XSA.

  • If the AMDP methods are not enough, ADBC can also be used to access HDI objects. In this case, however the physical name of the HDI container is not provided automatically.

  • The access methods designed specifically for XSC objects in the SAP HANA Repository are not suitable for XSA objects.
