Re: right track for a fresher to get into SAP HANA

Hi,

I would say BI knowledge is not required to learn HANA until and unless you are going to work on HANA on BW project

Get the knowledge of BODS as it is going to be used for replicating data into HANA and especially if its Big Data and Unstructured data

You can also learn BOBJ as Ravi mentioned as it would be used for reporting

Leaning SAP Lumira will also be helpful

As a HANA Consultant i would also like to mention one more thing that in HANA SPS5 SAP introduced XS Engine to create light weight Web Applications and its now a very important part of HANA and to learn this - you need to know JSON, JavaScript, OData, SAP UI5, JQuery and HTML5

It might be better if you learn ABAP ON HANA : for this also you will find info in my blog

To learn more about HANA, check my blog :
