Figure 1: The World is Now Digital
The numbers shown in the figure, The World is Now Digital, illustrate that the world around us, instead of getting simpler, is getting more complex. This complexity is due to the following factors: ●
Exponential growth of digital information (social, mobile, big data)
●
Globalization and the spread of business networks
●
Internet of Things, or Internet of Everything
The response so far has been to add more complex business processes, organizations, and software solutions. At the end of 2009, 5% of the world's population owned smartphones. Four years later that figure jumped to 22%. Currently, 1.7 billion people are on social networks. Over the next three years that audience will surpass 2.55 billion. By 2020, 5 billion people will enter the middle class and come online, while 50 billion devices will be connected to the "Internet of Things," creating a digital network of virtually everything. Cloud computing, a $41 billion business in 2011, will grow to a $241 billion business in that same time frame. The increase in the use of mobile devices, social media, and cloud technologies, and the amount of data they generate have transformed the way we live and work. In fact, 61% of

companies report that the majority of their people use smart devices for everything from email to project management to content creation. While all of these advancements have improved our lives and provided us with greater opportunities for innovation than ever before, they have also accelerated the rise of an entirely new problem to contend with. That is, the unprecedented and crippling complexity that suffocates innovation. The world may be getting smarter, but it has not gotten any easier. Massive consumerization of IT means online purchasing, banking, and completing online applications has become commonplace. Think about how much digital data you created today. Perhaps it is of interest to some organizations, but they can only integrate it with their core business processes if they run SAP S/4HANA. Data is valuable and is often referred to as the new oil.

In the last few years, there have been significant advances in technology that application developers can take advantage of to build smarter and more powerful applications. Examples include the following: ●

●
●
Multi-core processors enabling parallelism of tasks means more throughput of data and faster processing to give us real-time responses. Big memory enables us to fit an entire organization's database in memory, which means we lose the mechanical spinning disk and the latency it brings. Advances in the design of the on-board cache means that data can pass between memory and CPU cores rapidly. In the past, even with large memory, this was a bottleneck as the hungry CPUs demanded more data and the journey from memory to CPU was not optimal. Increasing your server landscape means you can slot more servers into your landscape to add more processing power or memory to scale to any size.
SAP rewrote its business application software to exploit the new hardware fully. SAP worked closely with leading hardware partners who shared the product blueprints of their new CPU architectures, so that SAP knew how to write the very best modern software to extract as much power as possible.

Unit 1: SAP S/4HANA Overview
Cloud computing technology has matured in the last few years and is now a compelling deployment option for our customers who do not want to take on the complexity and cost of the installation and maintenance of IT landscapes. The use of virtual machines lowers the costs associated with running enterprise-wide applications. Public cloud services based on subscription models increase access for everyone to the latest solutions and therefore reduce the costs by simplifying everything.
2015 Figure 3: Time to Rebuild the Business Suite for the Digital World
Since the beginning of enterprise computing, SAP have been rebuilding the business applications whenever major technology shifts have occurred. Some key moments in application development history of SAP are as follows: ●
1979 - SAP invents ERP. SAP builds standard business software based on mainframe technology. The name, SAP R/2 supports and integrates major business functions in real time and handles multi-country and multi-currency implementations. (R means real time, and although there was an R/1, this is not regarded as the first major release.)
●
1992 - With the rise of the personal computer, the introduction of client/server architecture means another rewrite of the applications to exploit the power of a layered, three-tier architecture approach, in which processing is split across three layers - client, application, and database. It is the end of the mono-chromatic, text-based, messy green screens and the start of a new graphical interface to improve the end user experience. This is the birth of SAP R/3.
●
2004 - Now the Web is firmly established as the common business network and customers demand better integration between their business applications and the Web. SAP develops a new integration application platform called SAP NetWeaver to enable this. Now all SAP applications run on a common platform, and customers and partners can build and integrate existing applications easily using widely adopted Web standards, such as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Additionally, a little later, a new switch framework is introduced to allow customers to enable only the new functions developed by SAP selectively, in order to avoid disrupting their core processes. The SAP R/3 name is now replaced by SAP ERP. ERP is part of a larger family known as SAP Business Suite, which also contains many other Line of Business (LoB) applications from SAP, such as SAP CRM.

Lesson: SAP S/4HANA Overview
●
2015 - A new wave of advances in hardware architecture brings massive computing power at decreasing costs. Huge memory and multi-core processors arrive to offer massive computing power. The underlying design of existing SAP applications does not fully exploit the power of the new hardware. A rewrite of the complete Business Suite is required. The new business suite is called SAP S/4HANA.

Figure 4: SAP S/4HANA Next-Generation Core and Lines of Business Solutions for the Digital World
SAP S/4HANA is not a single product, but covers many applications. Customers can start with the basic components and add to them later. S/4HANA Enterprise Management is a great place to start. This is known as the "simplified core". It is helpful to think of S/4HANA Enterprise Management as the replacement for SAP ERP. It offers support for all core business processes, such as quotation to cash, procure to pay, and so on. For many customers, this is where their S/4HANA adoption begins. SAP S/4HANA Lines of Business (LoB) solutions integrate with the core. There are options that can be added at any time and that provide best-in-class lines of business solutions and connections to SAP business networks. Customers choose the LoB solutions that suit their businesses to extend the functionality of the core. In the past, we had multiple add-on applications surrounding the core (for example, SAP CRM and SAP SRM surrounded the core ECC), but with overlapping models and much redundancy. Overlaps and redundancy are completely removed from SAP S/4HANA. A key point is that SAP S/4HANA is built natively and optimally to run only on the SAP HANA platform.

Figure 5: Key Aspects of SAP S/4HANA
The figure, Key Aspects of SAP S/4HANA, highlights the most important aspects of SAP S/ 4HANA. SAP S/4HANA is built on SAP HANA, so it inherits all the capabilities of this powerful inmemory data management and application platform. This includes advanced text mining, predictive analysis, simulations, and powerful real-time decision support, with access to any type of data in real time. A brand new user experience is delivered to improve the productivity and satisfaction of business users and brings the interface up to a consumer-grade experience which is optimized for any device. SAP S/4HANA can be deployed on premise, in the cloud, or a combination of both, to provide flexible consumption options to customers. The data model has been massively simplified. This means we have lost unnecessary tables, and the data in those tables, in order to shrink the footprint dramatically and simplify the application design and extensibility.

Figure 6: SAP HANA - The Great Simplifier
The key enabler of SAP S/4HANA from the software side is called SAP HANA, and it is the platform on which S/4HANA is natively built. In 2005, SAP started researching the possibility of developing a new wave of applications built on an in-memory database. When SAP realized that no traditional database vendor had what they needed on the database side, SAP began developing its own in-memory database. SAP worked with leading chip manufacturers to identify to optimal design of a database that could exploit the full power of the new generation of powerful processors. The first release of SAP HANA was in early 2011. It was initially positioned as a standalone data mart solution, where customers could replicate data from any sources in real time to the in-memory database, and build Business Intelligence (BI) reports and applications on top. This meant BI was an early beneficiary of the power of SAP HANA. Next, SAP began developing SAP HANA-based accelerators, which were deployed as side-car engines to run alongside traditional SAP ERP functions that were critical to businesses, yet were performing slowly. In simple terms, SAP HANA became a secondary helper database and stepped in to help out with the heavy processing. Around the same time, SAP developed new, innovative applications that were completely powered by SAP HANA and needed massive processing power, such as Smart Meter Analytics and Oncolyzer. Around 2012, SAP successfully converted its first major application, SAP BW, to run completely on SAP HANA. This was quickly followed up with the conversion of SAP Business Suite. These existing applications are referred to as powered by SAP HANA, or simply on HANA, for example, Suite on HANA (SoH) and BW on HANA. Ensure that you do not confuse SoH with SAP S/4HANA; they are not the same. Conversion means the code has been adjusted to work with SAP HANA and also to take advantage of some basic optimizations. In 2015, SAP started from scratch and rewrote the complete SAP Business Suite natively to run only on SAP HANA. Unlike SoH, SAP S/4HANA is a brand new code-line, which works only on SAP HANA. Unlike SoH, the applications do not have to work on any other vendors' database. This means SAP was not restricted by the limitations of these databases, which meant code always had to be built so it worked with many databases. This often meant

Figure 7: Evolution of SAP S/4HANA
SAP began by rewriting the Business Suite from scratch, and started with finance. The data model was redeveloped and the application code completely rewritten on the new, simplified data model. The rewritten application is called SAP S/4HANA Finance. Using the tools, customers can convert their SAP ERP Finance application to S/4HANA Finance and continue to use the existing ERP applications, such as sales, procurement, and inventory management. SAP S/4HANA Finance and existing ERP applications are fully integrated, so all financial postings made from the existing ERP applications are immediately visible in S/4HANA Finance. Next, SAP rewrote the remaining ERP applications with new data models and application code, so we now have a full SAP S/4HANA core. SAP HANA - The Platform for SAP S/4HANA

Lesson: SAP S/4HANA Overview
SAP S/4HANA inherits the built-in capabilities of SAP HANA. This is evident throughout the new SAP S/4HANA applications. The following list describes some of the key capabilities of SAP HANA: ●
Application Services As well as a database, SAP HANA can provide many application services. This means that many applications can be built in a two-tier model, rather than a three-tier model. For example, imagine an application that allows a project manager to quickly check that all team members have completed their timesheets. This can easily be developed as a Web application, in which only a Web browser and SAP HANA is required. No application server is needed. This is because SAP HANA can handle the business logic, as well as the database services. SAP HANA provides a full development environment, with productivity tools supplied in the box. Everything the developer needs at design time, and at run time, is there.
●
Processing Services SAP HANA can handle many new types of data. This includes text, spatial, graph, and more. However, it is not enough to simply store these new data types. We need to be able to build applications that can process and integrate this data with traditional data types, such as business transactions. SAP HANA provides native in-memory engines that process any types of data in real time.
●
Integration Services SAP HANA has multiple data consumption options built in. It allows you to analyze continual streaming data, read data remotely in any data source, read Big Data stores such as Hadoop, and synchronize in both directions with remote databases and devices that collect data (IoT). SAP HANA has built-in Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) capabilities, so that separate software is no longer needed to clean, enrich, and profile data from any source.
●
Database Services SAP HANA is a full in-memory column and row store database that can support both Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) requirements and is built to run on high-end hardware. It stores data optimally using automatic compression, and is able to manage data on different storage tiers to support data aging strategies. It has built-in, high-availability functions that keep the database running and ensure mission-critical applications are never down.

Unit 1: SAP S/4HANA Overview
For more than 20 years, organizations have been using specialist software, usually with additional hardware, to Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) data from transaction systems to dedicated reporting systems. Based on the technology available, this has been the optimal way to provide a holistic view of business data with good response times (especially when you add accelerator software or hardware). OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) has been separated from OLAP (Online Analytical Processing). This is due to the database design of OLTP and OLAP. Database models have been either built for OLTP optimization or OLAP optimization, but not both. However, this has also bought with it complexity, redundancy, and latency. It has been common for today's business figures to be available only tomorrow for analysis, once the data has been extracted and loaded to a reporting system. The database that supports S/4HANA (SAP HANA) can handle both OLTP and OLAP processing from a single data model, so there is no need to move transaction data to a separate system. This means transaction and analytical applications run off the same tables, and data is available in real time at every level of detail. Traditional Approach to Data Model and Application Code

Figure 10: Traditional Approach to Data Model and Application Code
Traditional applications were built on a hierarchical data model. Detailed data was summarized into higher-level layers of aggregates to help system performance. On top of aggregates, more aggregates were built, as well as special versions of the database tables to support special applications. As well as storing the extra copies of data, application code had to be built to maintain extra tables and keep them up to date. These extra tables also needed to be backed up, so even the IT operations were impacted. In addition to aggregates, another inefficiency needed to be removed. Database indexes improve access speed because they are based on common access paths to data. However, they need to be constantly dropped and rebuilt each time the tables are updated, and more code is needed to manage this process.

Lesson: SAP S/4HANA Overview
The traditional data model is complex, and a complex data model causes the application code to be complex. It has been found that up to 70% of application code is built specifically for performance of an application and adds no value to the core business function. With a complex data model and complex code, integration with other applications and enhancements is difficult, and not agile enough for today's fast-moving environment.

Figure 11: Remove Complexity with SAP S/4HANA
Using the raw power of SAP HANA, we can aggregate on the fly in subseconds from any line item table. There is no need for prebuilt aggregates. SAP HANA can generate any view of the data at runtime, all from the same source tables. SAP HANA organizes data using column stores, which means indexes are usually not needed. They can still be created, but usually offer little improvement. Therefore, as well as losing the aggregates and indexes from the database, we can also lose huge amounts of application code that deal with aggregates and indexes. We are left with a simplified core data model and simplified application code. It is now much easier to enhance the applications and integrate additional functions.

Tables in SAP HANA are automatically compressed to enable you to store huge amounts of data within very little space. Further data footprint reductions are achieved because we removed huge numbers of tables that are not needed, as well as unnecessary indexes. We can go further and reduce the in-memory data footprint by implementing data aging strategies. SAP HANA can split data across an in-memory tier (we call this HOT storage) and a disk-based tier (we call this WARM storage). All processing and database services are held in common. This means that a developer does not need to know where the data is physically located, as this is handled internally by SAP HANA. The benefit of this is that data that is used less frequently can be moved automatically from HOT to WARM storage, so you are not filling memory with data that is less useful. However, this data is still available whenever it is needed. Compression from SAP HANA, simplification of app redesign, and data aging using tiering adds up to less replication, less network load, and earlier restart over failover.

Figure 13: Simplified Applications
We have already covered the simplification of applications from the technical side. Now we look at how simplification also applies to the business side, with an example from finance. In traditional SAP ERP finance, financial postings have been supported by two key documents, the Finance (FI) document and the Controlling (CO) document. These documents provide the required views of the finance data from a legal perspective (FI) and also an internal management accounting perspective (CO). There is a lot of overlap between these documents. Application code has had to deal with these two types of postings whenever a business event has occurred that triggered a financial outcome, for example, a material receipt. With SAP S/4HANA Finance, we now have only one document. This is called the Universal Journal Entry. A single financial posting is made to one table, which holds all information that is needed by both legal and management accounting. The application code is simplified and any views of the data that are required are created on the fly by SAP HANA. We do not lose any business meaning, but we lose the underlying complexity of the application.

Figure 17: Embedded Analytics and Decision Support
On the left of the figure, Embedded Analytics and Decision Support, we see only the critical missing parts that need to be procured. These parts are presented only because they need some action. As the planner clicks each part, the main screen presents the shortfall situation in an easy-to-interpret graph for analysis. It is possible to drill down on any part of the graph to break down the aggregated demand or supply columns to find out why the parts are being consumed too quickly, and why the supply is falling short. The planner can choose an action and then simulate the effect before committing. This is an example of how OLTP and OLAP are now combined.

SAP S/4HANA can be natively integrated with the existing SAP Cloud solutions, such as SAP Ariba, Concur, SAP Hybris, SuccessFactors, SAP Cloud Analytics, and SAP Cloud for Customer (C4C). Consider the following example to help illustrate what this might look like: A customer deploys SAP S/4HANA in order to implement a core procurement process, such as purchase to pay. Employees are now happy that they can place requests for equipment that they need. However, employees would really like to be able to read reviews from other purchasers of the same items, just as they do when they are at home using consumer applications, such as Amazon. The employees would also like to be able to ask vendors detailed questions about the items. By integrating SAP S/4HANA with the Ariba Network, this is possible. SAP provides best practices and tools to integrate SAP S/4HANA rapidly with all SAP Cloud solutions, including SAP Business Networks.

SAP S/4HANA is available as a traditional on-premise deployment, a cloud deployment, or a combination of both. The cloud solutions can be either a public cloud option or a private cloud option. On-premise deployments offer greater scope of business functions than the public cloud edition and also far greater flexibility for customization. On-premise customers can also decide exactly when they would like to update their system. However, new functions and innovations are delivered only once per year. Public cloud offers innovations quarterly. Onpremise also means the entire application and infrastructure is owned and managed by the customer. A public cloud deployment of SAP S/4HANA means that customers share the applications and platform with other customers. Each customer's data is strictly isolated, and each customer has their own technical container. Customers do not affect each other regarding performance of the system. The public cloud edition of SAP S/4HANA contains essential standard core process functionality that, for most customers, is more than enough. But it is not as comprehensive in scope as the on-premise edition. Although each customer uses the standard software, light customizations are possible, for example, to add fields to screens, define new reports, and so on. All new SAP S/4HANA innovations are released for cloud before the on-premise edition and are delivered in quarterly cycles. With the public cloud option, customers must adopt the new innovations immediately, as they do not control the release of new functions. This edition is the type of product that is known as Software as a Service (SaaS). A private cloud deployment means that the customer does not share the applications and platform with other customers, but has their own private SAP S/4HANA application and platform. This is technically an on-premise edition of SAP S/4HANA, but it is completely managed by SAP or hosting partners. The same rules apply as for the on-premise edition. Deeper customizations are possible and the customer can decide exactly when updates are applied. Innovations are available annually. All cloud deployments offer an annual, subscription-based pricing model, so customers pay for what they need and can add to it later. On-premise continues with the traditional licensing model.

Unit 1: SAP S/4HANA Overview
It is also possible to combine on-premise with cloud easily. This can be useful when customers would like to consume standard processes through the cloud but keep the applications that need deeper customization on-premise. We call this a hybrid deployment. SAP S/4HANA Cloud Versions

Figure 22: Concepts and Influence Factors
IT and the use of electronic devices is no longer reserved for experts and has spread throughout all social groups. High performance hardware stands against a wide variety of software products with different scope and uses. As a result, it is important that software is easy to use. The main drivers of this development are smartphones and tablets with their easy-to-use and flexible user interfaces. These user interfaces are no longer required to provide maximum functionality but rather a comfortable user experience, which puts the focus on the consumer. The focus on the expert user with many years of experience is now a matter of the past.

Lesson: SAP Fiori
Therefore, business software must adapt and transform too so that it provides good user experiences for all roles in an enterprise. The user interface (UI) plays an important role in supporting this trend. For SAP software products the challenge is to keep a clear view and to understand the overall SAP strategy in the area of user experience. SAP User Experience

Figure 23: UI Versus UX
The terms User Interface (UI UI) UX) UI and User Experience (UX UX stand for two different ways of thinking. UI, UI from a software perspective, describes the interface between the user and the device. It aims at maximizing efficiency during use. UX takes on the perspective of the end user and aims at motivation and emotion not only during use but also before and after. UX tries to create a positive and motivating experience for the user.

LESSON OBJECTIVES After completing this lesson, you will be able to: ●
Explain the user interface (UI) SAP Business Client
SAP Business Client SAP Business Client is a user interface (UI) that presents a single entry point to different SAP business applications and technologies. It is a high-fidelity shell that integrates various UI technologies and design generations aimed at a more efficient, intuitive, and complete user experience over different UI technologies. Within the SAP Business Client, users can move seamlessly between Web Dynpro and SAP GUI transactions. The SAP Business Client enables direct connectivity to the ABAP back-end system and PFCG role repository centrally holding SAP GUI, Web Dynpro, and various Web content applications. SAP Business Client provides role-based access to applications either using the Portal or directly using PFCG roles. The desktop version of SAP Business Client has a modern and simple look and feel, and implements an easy-to-use, web-browser-like user experience coupled with easy navigation and a focus on content (tabbed browsing). The figure, Screen Areas of SAP Business Client 6.0,shows the main screen areas of SAP Business Client, comprising the shell, content area, and the side panel.

Figure 34: Screen Areas of SAP Business Client 6.0
The desktop version allows you to adjust the appearance and settings of the business client to meet your personal and technical requirements, for example by selecting your theme or branding options. The shell aims at reducing the space consumed by the client in favor of applications running in the content area where users do their actual work. They can use the side panel to display additional context-sensitive information that relates to the main application. Users can open the menu from the icon on the left corner on the top of the header area and make system settings, customize view and personalization options, and access the help and support functions, including the product documentation. The presentation of the menu as a dropdown menu also helps to save screen space at the top of the shell. The shell design is intentionally neutral to frame content from diverse applications and technologies, be it Web Dynpro or SAP GUI transactions. The shell for the desktop client is rendered in the Corbu design by default. This is a theme with a light, neutral design, and enlarged resolution for better readability. The user can customize the appearance of the shell and content area by switching the theme in the personal settings. It is possible to select either a dark or light flavor, which only affects the header area. The high contrast theme is also available, which triggers a theme change in the client, Web Dynpro, and SAP GUI pages. All content except for content embedded as Web URL is displayed with the high contrast theme. With a tab-based navigation model (tabbed browsing), users are now able to work on multiple tabs in parallel. They can load any content into the tab rather than into a new window. Users can switch between the tabs easily without terminating the sessions; each new tab hosts a new session. If users are working with many applications in one window at the same time, they can get an overview of all the tabs in the tab bar by displaying the tab list or with the help of the tab previews in the task bar. The tab list displays all the tab titles if more tabs are open than can be displayed in the tab bar. Users can display the complete list of open tabs and quickly navigate to a selected tab. It is possible to personalize a user's navigation structure by adding pages for frequently used transactions or applications to the Favorites or by pinning tabs so they are available when the users logs on to a system the next time.

Lesson: SAP Business Client
Users have many different options to find and launch applications. This includes navigating from an overview page, from the quick launch, or from the navigation panel. The overview pages such as the Index page and the New Tab page serve as the central point of entry to a role-based navigation. The powerful search and quick launch capabilities of the desktop client are combined in a single type-ahead field. Users can either start a search using a configured search provider, for example, the Desktop Search, or they can directly start transactions or Web Dynpro applications. Search results are grouped into different search categories, for example, by results in Favorites and Recent Items, or by results for Desktop Searchand Transactions and Applications.

Several variants of the SAP GUI are available and are adapted for use in different environments. In this lesson, we refer to the SAP GUI for the Windows environment. The SAP GUI program connects the front-end computer with a specific SAP system. To start the SAP GUI, SAP provides another program: SAP Logon. Logon When the user launches SAP Logon, a screen displays a list of available SAP systems. This list is derived from a file on the front-end computer, and is preconfigured and made available to users.
