For which business requirements do you suggest an SAP HANA modeing focus rather than an SAP BW/4HANA modelins focus? (2)

Question

Options

• ALoad snapshots or deltas from different Sources on a periodic basis
• BReport on a harmonized set Of master data
• CEnhance existing SAP HANA content models
• DLeverage SQL in-house knowledge

• A
  5% (1)
• B
  15% (3)
• C
  80% (16)

Explanation

C and D point to scenarios where SAP HANA native modeling is the better fit. C (Enhance existing SAP HANA content models) is correct because if you already have native HANA models (e.g., calculation views), extending them stays within the HANA modeling paradigm - introducing BW/4HANA would add unnecessary complexity. D (Leverage SQL in-house knowledge) is correct because native HANA modeling is SQL-centric, allowing teams with strong SQL skills to build and maintain models directly without needing BW-specific knowledge.

A (Load snapshots or deltas from different sources periodically) describes a classic ETL/data staging pattern - this is the core strength of BW/4HANA, which has mature process chains, DataSources, and delta handling. B (Report on a harmonized set of master data) also points to BW/4HANA, which provides Master Data Management objects (InfoObjects) designed specifically for consistent, enterprise-wide master data governance.

Memory tip: Think "HANA = SQL + extend what's there; BW/4HANA = load, harmonize, govern." If the requirement sounds like data integration or MDM, go BW/4HANA. If it sounds like staying in HANA or using SQL skills, go native HANA.
