Hi Manoj,

BPC and BOPC are same.

BPC MS has microsoft SQL server as backend.

BPC NW has BW as the backend.

The reporting interface for both are mostly Excel, though you may use Bex, dashboard, etc after doing additional configuration.

Most of the other features are same, for complex logic we use ABAP BADI in NW and in SQL server we user stored procedure.

Hi Manoj,

Please post HANA related query in the right forum to get the best answers.

The main difference between HANA and other traditional databases is that it is in-memory technology which means the entire database will reside in you primary memory thereby making execution of query, data retrieval etc many times faster than traditional databases.

I picked the below from Wiki: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_HANA)

There are five components within the software group

• SAP HANA DB - the database technology itself,
• SAP HANA Studio - suite of tools provided for modeling,
• SAP HANA Appliance HANA DB as delivered on partner certified hardware  as an appliance. It includes the modeling tools from HANA Studio as well as replication and data transformation tools to move data into HANA DB
• SAP HANA One  deployment of SAP HANA certified for production use on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud.
• SAP HANA Application Cloud refers to the cloud based infrastructure for delivery of applications (typically existing SAP applications rewritten to run on HANA).

Regards,

Kalyan.

Hi Manoj,

BPC and BOPC are the same. When this product was acquired from BO by SAP, they retained the branding of BO, and hence the name BOPC. However, it is called BPC, widely.

With respect to MS and NW versions, the reporting front end is the same; since both the products use EPM 10 addin for reporting. The administration console is looks little different. However, the functionality is the same. The major difference is with respect the their backend database. One uses SQL, and the other uses BI.

Hope this helps.
