Data sources for Table with data

[Former Member]

Hi,

In HANA modeller how do we find the source for tables  that have been loaded with data?

Is there a graphical screen that shows data flow?

I assume that you want to know where the data in those tables is coming from, right?

Basically looking at the chain of data loading and looking at the start.

At that point it's important to understand that SAP HANA is a DBMS that allows many different ways of data loading. Unlike what you find in SAP BW, SAP HANA does not own all data loading processes.

For several scenarios it really is only the receiving end of the ETL process and has no knowledge about preceding processes.

So, there is no central place to find the "source" of data for any table. You will have to check your data loading procedures and follow the stream of data there.
