SAP Best Practices Stream Configuration for Web Stream Analysis (EZ4): Configuration Guide

Stream Intelligence Configuration for Web Stream Analysis

1  Purpose

The purpose of this document is to describe the general configuration steps required to manually set up the Stream intelligence configuration for Web steam analysis. The configuration steps are within the system landscape you have already installed using the corresponding installation or configuration guides for installation.

2  Preparation

2.1  Prerequisites

Before you start installing this scenario, your system landscape must meet the prerequisites for the scope item. For more information about prerequisites, see the SAP Note 1956985 and the Configuration Guide: Getting Started for Stream Intelligence attached to that note.

The SAP Note and the Prerequisite Matrix document are available on the SAP Service Marketplace for rapid-deployment solutions, http://service.sap.com/rds-bdi → SAP HANA Big Data Intelligence rapid-deployment solution → Find Out More → Latest Information

2.2  Assumptions

The following statements are the configuration assumptions for setting up SAP HANA technical components for this solution, the following configuration must be fulfilled for this solution to be implemented.

1)  SAP HANA platform (both Server and Studio) has been installed within the system landscape. An installed and configured SAP HANA environment is a prerequisite for this rapid-deployment solution. For more information about the installation and configuration of the SAP HANA platform, see the SAP Help Portal http://help.sap.com/hana_platform

2)  SYSTEM access with full system privileges for the SAP HANA environment.

3)  SAP HANA related implementation contents for the solution, including Application Function Library (AFL)

4)  SAP HANA Predictive Analysis Library (PAL) To confirm that the PAL functions were installed successfully, you can check the following three public views:

•sys.afl_areas

•sys.afl_packages

•sys.afl_functions

These views are granted to the PUBLIC role and can be accessed by anyone.

To check the views, run the SQL statements:

SELECT * FROM "SYS"."AFL_AREAS" WHERE AREA_NAME = 'AFLPAL';

SELECT * FROM "SYS"."AFL_PACKAGES" WHERE AREA_NAME = 'AFLPAL';

SELECT * FROM "SYS"."AFL_FUNCTIONS" WHERE AREA_NAME = 'AFLPAL';

The result indicates whether the PAL functions are successfully installed on your system

In addition, ensure that the following permissions are in place:

_SYS_REPO user has been assigned EXECUTE rights for the following procedures:

·  "SYSTEM"."AFL_WRAPPER_GENERATOR"

·  "SYSTEM"."AFL_WRAPPER_ERASER"

If those rights have not been applied, then modify _SYS_REPO user to grant those rights.

For more information about SAP HANA Predictive Analysis Library (PAL) functions, see the SAP Help Portal http://help.sap.com/hana_platform → Reference Information → SAP HANA Library References → SAP HANA Predictive Analysis Library

3  Configuring Stream Intelligence for Web Stream Analysis

To implement the Stream Intelligence for Web stream analysis scope item of SAP HANA Big Data Intelligence, you must perform the following steps:

1.  Prepare SAP HANA prerequisite tables

2.  Deploy the configuration delivery unit

3.  Deploy the foundation delivery unit

4.  Execute the seeding procedure

5.  Deploy the business layer delivery unit

6.  Create user accounts

7.  Import Sample Data


The following subsections describe detail steps required and performed using SAP HANA studio.

3.1  Prepare Prerequisites Tables for SAP HANA content

3.1.1  Generate Time Data in SAP HANA

When using this option you must replicate the standard tables in SAP HANA, these are T005T, T005U, T009, and T009B. If these standard tables are not available, then you will not be able use the Generate Time Data function.

1.  In the SAP HANA studio, logon to your SAP HANA SYSTEM using the SYSTEM account.

2.  Select the SAP HANA Modeler perspective

3.  Choose Help ® Quick View

4.  Select Generate Time Data in the Quick View on the right-hand side

5.  Choose the System you want to generate data and Choose Next button

6.  In Generate Time Data dialog box, enter the following values:

Field / Value /
Calendar Type / Gregorian
From Year / <Start Year> (for example, 1990)
To Year / <End Year> (for example, 2015)
Granularity / Second, Minute, Hour, or Day (depending on your requirements)

7.  Choose Generate

8.  Verify the generated data in the table “_SYS_BI.M_TIME_DIMENSION”. There should be an entry for every DATE_SAP between <Start Year> and <End Year>

3.2  Deploy Stream Intelligence Foundation Delivery Unit - HCO_RDS_BDI_ST_FND

The following steps are used to load the Stream Intelligence foundation delivery unit HCO_RDS_BDI_ST_FND for the solution.

The Stream Intelligence delivery unit can be imported using either Server or Client as source of delivery unit file location. If an import from the server is required, contact your system administrator for the server path. This step must be executed using SYSTEM account.

1.  Ensure the HCO_RDS_BDI_ST_FND delivery unit is downloaded into desired location. If it is not available, contact your system administrator.

Instructions for acquiring the foundation delivery unit are provided in the Configuration Guide: Getting Started for Stream Intelligence, attached to SAP Note 1956985.

2.  Select the SAP HANA Modeler perspective

3.  Choose the Quick Launch window

4.  Select the SAP HANA deployment instance (SYSTEM)

5.  Choose Import.

6.  In the Select dialog box, choose SAP HANA Content ® Delivery Unit,

7.  Choose Next.

8.  In the Select File dialog box, choose the import location (Client)

9.  Browse to the location of HCO_RDS_BDI_ST_FND.tgz, and select the file.

10.  Choose Finish to import the content of the delivery unit.

Result

The Job Log shows the status of the package as it loads. If the load is successful, then the status displays Success. Verify the content objects listed in the Appendix are available and activated after importing delivery unit

3.3  Execute Stream Intelligence Seeding procedure

Use

Following steps must be executed to ensure that the solution is configured to work with the SAP HANA PAL.

Procedure

1.  Open SQL console

2.  Execute the following SQL statements in sequence

call "_SYS_REPO"."GRANT_SCHEMA_PRIVILEGE_ON_ACTIVATED_CONTENT"('EXECUTE', 'SAP_RDS_BDI_STREAM','SYSTEM');

call "_SYS_REPO"."GRANT_SCHEMA_PRIVILEGE_ON_ACTIVATED_CONTENT"('SELECT', 'SAP_RDS_BDI_STREAM','SYSTEM');

call "SAP_RDS_BDI_STREAM"."sap.rds-bdi.stream.seeders::GENERATE_FORECASTSMOOTH_PROCEDURE";

call "SAP_RDS_BDI_STREAM"."sap.rds-bdi.stream.seeders::GENERATE_ACCURACYMEASURES_PROCEDURE";

Result

The STREAM_TS_PRED_INFO_FORECASTSMOOTHING procedure is created in the SAP_RDS_BDI_STREAM catalog area.

3.4  Deploy the Stream Business Layer Unit - HCO_RDS_BDI_ST

The following steps are used to load the Stream Intelligence business layer delivery unit HCO_RDS_BDI_ST for the solution.

The Stream Intelligence business layer delivery unit can be imported using either Server or Client as source of delivery unit file location. If an import from the server is required, contact your system administrator for the server path. This step must be executed using SYSTEM account.

1.  Ensure the HCO_RDS_BDI_ST delivery unit is downloaded into desired location. If it is not available, contact your system administrator.

Instructions for acquiring the business delivery unit are provided in the Configuration Guide: Getting Started for Stream Intelligence, attached to SAP Note 1956985.

2.  Select the SAP HANA Modeler perspective

3.  Choose the Quick Launch window

4.  Select the SAP HANA deployment instance (SYSTEM)

5.  Choose Import.

6.  In the Select dialog box, choose SAP HANA Content ® Delivery Unit

7.  Select Next.

8.  In the Select file dialog box, browse to the location of HCO_RDS_BDI_ST.tgz and select the file.

9.  Choose Finish to import the content of the delivery unit.

The Job Log shows the status of the package as it loads. If the load is successful, then the status displays Success. Verify that the content objects, listed in Appendix, are available and activated after importing delivery unit

3.5  Create Users for Stream Intelligence

The following steps must be performed with the SQL Editor window opened under SYSTEM account. Ensure that the appropriate Client session is set to the following user accounts you create.

The initial password established for following users has a change password requirement at first logon.

3.5.1  Creating a Stream Admin User

The Stream_ Admin user has permission to manage the SAP_RDS_BDI_STREAM_SOURCE schema and SAP_RDS_BDI_STREAM schema, and can perform all administrative tasks for this solution within SAP HANA.
