SAP Standard Application Benchmarks

The SAP BW edition for SAP HANA Standard Application Benchmark is the latest addition to the list of SAP BW benchmarks. The new SAP BW edition for SAP HANA benchmarks goes well beyond the scope and features used in the BW-AML benchmark. The new benchmark can fully utilize the new capabilities of SAP HANA to process the benchmark workload – thus the benchmark will only be available on the SAP BW edition for SAP HANA. The benchmark workload completely differs from that of the BW-AML benchmark.

The benchmark consists of 3 phases.

1. . Data load phase
2. . Query throughput phase
3. . Query runtime phase

Allowed data volumes are a multiple of 1.3 billion initial records.

Initial Data volumes: n * 1.3 billion records
Single- and Multi-Node Setups

Important: Due to the completely different workload, data model, query design and KPIs the BW-AML and SAP BW edition for SAP HANA benchmark results are not comparable.

The first phase of the new BW edition for SAP HANA benchmark is the load phase. The initial data of n-times 1.3 billion records is loaded into the system. 

• Inserts / Updates / Deletes on transactional data during delta loads
• Master data changes along with delta loads
• Utilization of navigation attributes
• Multiple currencies in source data
• Stand-alone data loads to measure data load times (Phase 2)
• Master data lookups, non-trivial transformations (Phase 2)
