Remember Transaction /NTAANA? Do you already use the new SE16H Transaction?
Transaction TAANA is a very useful transaction to analyze number of documents per year or per Document Type etc for Data Archiving Projects, Carve-Out analysis etc.
TAANA is able to compute the statistics in Batch so even in tables with millions of rows, we are able to analyse the results in a comfortable way.
i played around with this on hana, and of course i don't need batch analytics, the results come in dialog in seconds.
see also note for some limitations: http://search.sap.com/notes?id=0001879808
select 'create ad hoc variant button'
choose statistic fields like organisation values (salesorg, co area) or order type etc
non-hana: choose in the background for large tables
hana: online!
analysis results: number of documents etc
in Netweaver 7.40, we can do the same using SE16H: (works also for Classic Databases)
see note http://search.sap.com/notes?id=0001636416
advantage here: we can also define JOINS!
just select group or total and you will get the distinct/total values instead of the detail lines
join definition:
in realtime
hana studio:
get a quick impression by using data preview/distinct values:
or use analysis for more details (select x/y axis):
in my version of web ide there was no preview feature, i think this is coming in Hana SPS9:
