Dear HANA Modelers
I have recently started building calculation views and one thing I learned is that when working with large datasets we have some performance issues
For example there was a need to link, Orders , Deliveries and Billing documents together and each of these are rather large datasets on their own
I first created analytical views for each of ORDER, DELIVERY AND BILLING and then built a CALCULATION VIEW that joins them all together
What we learned is that running it for all the records i.e getting aggregated information for some entity across the entire data set without filtering was just not an option due to performance
I had to restrict the END USER to enter a customer number and or sales doc no in their WEBI report that is built on top of this view so that it can run one customer at a time providing them a history of the above 3 entities for a given customer
IN a similar exercise I tried to tie TWO very large datasets of about 800 million rows and that also performed very poorly
Have folks worked with LARGE data sets joined via calculation view and if yes can you please share your thoughts on the topic
Regards
