When we use Hana Studio to view an complex VDM, we often meet following challenges:
- We are very interested in the calculated columns, but we don't know which nodes have the calculated columns. We need open one by one to check
- We want to know how one column coming from: whether rename from a to b then to c, or be calculated from several other columns. In Hana Studo, we need open the node one by one, then manually check the output part, then remember the relationship.
- Some calculated column is very complex, the if/then/else nested for so many level, it is very hard to understand the complex expression
- One VDM call other VDM, we need open the related VDM one by one. We can't jump from one VDM to other VDM easily
- Lack the overall information. For example, we want to know how several column mapping from the related VDM or tables
- Sometime the Hana Studio is so slow. We need connect to HANA Server to see the VDM
In order to solve those challenges, recently I developed a Web Based Hana VDM Explore using SAPUI5. ( Currently the HANA Web-Based Development Workbench don't support display the VDM in graphic, detail see What´s New? SAP HANA SPS 07 Web-based Development Workbench )
