Dear Experts, This is in context of Planning (IP / BPC) in SAP BW 7.4 on HANA What I understood from SAP BW 7.4 SP5 powered by SAP HANA Presentation, is that SAP BW 7.4 on HANA has more Planning Function pushed down to HANA Database and Calculation Engine. For remaining Planning Function there is planning application Kit(PAK), which will push the processing from application layer to the HANA Database, thereby further improving the performance. In SAP Note 1637199 (using PAK), it is mentioned that use of PAK requires license of SAP BPC version for Netweaver. So, does it mean that, in order to improve planning performance in SAP BW 7.4 on HANA, I need to use PAK, and in order to use PAK, I need to buy license of SAP BPC version for Netweaver. Even if I intend to use only SAP BW-IP, I will still have buy license of SAP BPC, which I don't intend to use. Or Is it something like in SAP BW 7.4 on HANA that Front end will be BPC and backend will be SAP BW-IP. My Intent is to use SAP BW-IP with PAK to have enhanced Planning performance, without paying license cost for SAP BPC for Netweaver. Request you to guide or comment, or point out if I am misunderstanding something. Regards Pankaj
