I am into SAP ABAP development from 4.5 years.
Now a days SAP ABAP development on HANA and S/4 HANA are latest technologies of SAP.Can somebody explain the difference between both and out of these technologies which is good for future ?
Hi,
Difference between - ABAP on HANA and ABAP on S/4 HANA is as below-
HANA is only database , while S/4 HANA is erp like SAP ECC.
So, in ABAP on HANA , we write ABAP code by using CDS View, AMDP, SQL Script , which can be run on SAP HANA database, while ERP can be ECC , S/4 HANA. ABAP on hana can not run on Mobile device .
While on S/4 HANA , we write code by using CDS view, AMDP procedure , SAPUI5 etc. for S/4 ERP which is running on HANA database.By using SAPUI5 we can create sap application,that can run on Mobile device.
S/4 HANA will replace SAP ECC in future , and SAPUI5 may be replace ABAP in future.
Thanks.
Hello Shreya,
HANA is an in-memory database and application server that supports modern programming paradigms like Node.js. S/4HANA is the successor of ERP and while using HANA as a database it still runs on an NetWeaver ABAP application server.
