Is it possible to use ABAP to call a HANA function to use the spatial data. Our scenarios are as follows:
scenario 1: A polygon is drawn to identify an area where an incident has occurred. This needs to be stored somewhere. When a customer calls we need to verify whether the customers property is within the polygon. The client has an existing solution that uses the GIS system to identify all the properties within the polygon using the GIS system and hold them in a table in SAP ECC. The query is then performed against the table. We would like to be more innovative an simply verify whether the location of customer property is inside the polygon.
Scenario 2: Every time a job is created its location is recorded (X,Y). When a new customer calls the system needs to identify all known jobs within a defined radius of the call customer. Again an innovative approach would be to identify all jobs that are less than or equal to a defined distance from the location of the calling customer.
GIS systems can do this, but I was hoping to use the spatial capability of Hana.
