14 7 Software Landscape Diagram SAP HANA Mobile SAP BusinessObjects SAP Lumira Server Info Models Data Model SAP Demand Signal Management (DSiM) SAP Activity Repository (CAR) SAP HANA Predictive Analysis Library (PAL) SAP HANA Live Automated Analytics Expert Analytics Import SAP Landscape Transformation External Files SAP Overview of Architecture The system landscape above displays the entire range of the systems for the landscape with this solution. Different scenarios require less landscape than displayed. The previous tables outline the landscape necessary for individual scenarios. Here are the areas of the total landscape: Data Sources: This rapid-deployment solution uses data from flat files or SAP. If the data comes from SAP, SAP Landscape Transformation (SAP LT) is employed to move the data into SAP HANA. When the data source is a flat file, depending on the scenario, data is loaded into SAP HANA or loaded directly into SAP Predictive Analysis. For more information about what data sources are used for what scenarios, see the Data Source by Scenario section of this document. SAP HANA: All of the domains use SAP HANA. Some scenarios provide predictive analytics through the SAP HANA Predictive Analysis Library (PAL) that includes predictive algorithms used in calculating results. SAP HANA is the staging area for the data sources as well as a model schema supporting the visualization of data and accessibility by mobile devices. Optionally, this rapid-deployment solution uses SAP HANA to integrate with additional, separate rapid-deployment packages. : For scenarios using, Automated Analytics provide metadata repository for data management and automated algorithm and Expert Analytics provides preconfigured documents in the LUMS file format for the basis for predictive analytics. Depending on the scenario, uses data from SAP HANA or in certain cases data loaded directly in as flat files. For certain scenarios, provides the visualizations for the predicted results. : For scenarios using SAP HANA PAL to provide predictive analytics, is used to provide visualizations for the predicted results. 1 SAP SE Public Page 14 of 15

15 SAP Mobile: When is used to provide visualizations for the predictive results, SAP Mobile is used to allow these results to be shared with supported mobile devices using an SAP Mobile App. For more information, see the related configuration guides for this solution. SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) platform: SAP Explorer and SAP Mobile require the SAP BusinessObjects BI platform. In some scenarios for this rapid-deployment solution, the BI platform, Explorer, and Mobile options are not required. For more information, see the Software by Scenario section of this document. Your system landscape is dependent on the choices you make deploying individual, or combinations of, scenarios. Review the entire document to understand the requirements and landscape for your implementation. SAP SE Public Page 15 of 15
