Here we go<\/h3>\n

\"The JDK<\/span> support contract between Oracle and SAP will be terminated by Oracle<\/span> (effective 31. 12. 2013). Due to Oracle<\/span>'s termination of the agreement, SAP cannot provide Oracle JDK<\/span> support coverage starting from January 2014. SAP has built a JDK<\/span>called SAP JVM<\/span>. For example, SAP JVM<\/span> has been used by SAP NetWeaver for years; especially several thousand SAP NetWeaver 7.0 and 2004 Web AS Java systems have been migrated successfully to SAP JVM<\/span> since 2011.\" (Source: SAP<\/span> Note 1920326)<\/em><\/p>\n

Is this a technical necessity, malice, or declaration of war?<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The fact is that Oracle<\/span> presented a counter-design to SAP Hana at its own in-house exhibition a few weeks ago in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Whether the in-memory computing of Larry Ellison<\/span> is good enough, my employees cannot yet answer.<\/p>\n

The fact is, however, that Oracles<\/span> The new in-memory DB takes the same approach as IBM DB2 Blu: you flange something to the existing DB. Database<\/span> and if you're lucky, everything moves a little faster now.<\/p>\n

Blu again free of charge<\/h3>\n

For SAP-DB2<\/span>-As always, the Blu option is also available free of charge to existing customers.<\/p>\n

As in the past, the aim is to SAP<\/span>-Business Suite users benefit at no additional cost.<\/p>\n

At least that is what SAP and IBM have agreed on in a contract. Quasi at the last second, however, Vishal's Hana<\/span>-troop recognized the danger and vetoed it.<\/p>\n

Hana<\/span> sells sluggishly and now comes IBM<\/span> with the free update DB2 Blu.<\/p>\n

My team has Blu customized on a test server: IBM<\/span> has with SAP<\/span> in the past two years, the in-memory computing component of DB2<\/span> completed.<\/p>\n

The operational premiere and release were as IBM<\/span>-Event planned at the SAP<\/span> TechEd 2013 Amsterdam in early November.<\/p>\n

But SAP<\/span> refuses to release. Thus, any existing customer can use the DB2<\/span>-Blu version, but may not use it in a production system.<\/p>\n

A deadlock, the computer scientist would say.<\/p>\n

Not quite, because there are valid contracts between IBM and SAP, so Vishal's Hana squad can only play for time.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, this state of affairs is very annoying and does not bring any reputation to either side.<\/p>\n

\"When two quarrel, a third rejoices,\" says my wife, who has found my notes for the E-3 column and comes into my study.<\/p>\n

Theoretically Larry Ellison<\/span>but it is more complicated.<\/p>\n

Hana<\/span> is not yet a mature Database<\/span>. But it can do some spectacular feats. Thus, the combination of Business Suite, BW, Hana<\/span> and DB2<\/span> Blu a variant.<\/p>\n

\"There you go, there's the solution,\" my wife is pleased and wants to go for another evening walk. \"Wait,\" I say, because that was only one possible, technical approach.<\/p>\n

What about the strategic dimension? Hasso and Vishal have worked with Hana<\/span> made a claim to omnipotence: Hana<\/span> is to be both an on-premise platform and a cloud solution, both OLAP<\/span> as well as OLPT can.<\/p>\n

Ultimately wants SAP<\/span> not only the application level, but also the middleware (NetWeaver and SolMan) and the Database<\/span> (Hana<\/span>) control.<\/p>\n

The operating system level is left to Suse Linux. And there is nothing to be earned with hardware anyway, see Sun.<\/p>\n

Hana<\/span>-Hardware<\/h3>\n

My anonymous e-mail acquaintance Michael Missbach sent me to Walldorf<\/span> for the opening of the Cisco<\/span>-SAP<\/span>-Competence Center.<\/p>\n

An important event with exciting discussions: Who has the best hardware for Hana<\/span> has? Whether Hana<\/span> virtualized productively? Can there be a Hana Cloud?<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I will be in Singapore on November 11 - I may send a substitute.<\/p>\n

On the flight anyway I will meet with Hana<\/span> since I have been running Windows 8 on my notebook. VMware<\/span> Workstation with Linux and virtual Hana<\/span> and access them from Windows with Hana<\/span> Studio access (Intel<\/span> i7 with 16 GB memory).<\/p>\n

Hasso and Vishal have hoped to spend some time with Hana<\/span> to have a unique selling proposition - now straddle Oracle<\/span> and IBM<\/span> in.<\/p>\n

At the same time run the Hana<\/span>-business is unsatisfactory. Existing customers are skeptical and follow the motto: Never change a running system!<\/p>\n

A colleague is with Hana<\/span> failed. The former CIO at Yazaki Europe Limited in Cologne motivated by SAP<\/span> promised that BW performance would increase significantly.<\/p>\n

All theory is gray. In practice brought Hana<\/span> a weak result.<\/p>\n

I had the incident described to me. My CIO colleague is really only guilty of one thing: he trusted Vishal Sikka's promises too much.<\/p>\n

There are fantastic success stories and applications with Hana<\/span>However, these are singular events in the wide ERP<\/span>-world. The fewest Hana<\/span>-findings can be applied to other scenarios.<\/p>\n

Almost every Hana<\/span>-project starts from scratch again: fails spectacularly or becomes a sensation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
