Generic and some basic questions:

1. Will have the instruction for multiple choice questions? Like – choose correct two answers?YES2. Can we skip the questions in the middle to come back and answer at the end for skipped

questions? YES, You’ll have FLAG option to skip & come back3. How does the answer process? Save and submit or submit only/ can we change / correct the

answer when we do the revision at the end? Save(Click NEXT) & Submit for each block & then finally at the end of 80 questions, SUBMIT YOUR SCORE.

4. Hope we do not have negative mark? but all multiple answer has not been selected will be

considered as negative? Please confirm? NO NEGATIVE MARKINGS. IF OUT OF 3 CORRECT OPTIONS, YOU SELECTED ONLY 2, IT’LL BE CONSIDERED INCORRECT.

5. Business Content topics? Is it scenario based? YES6. Will it be possible to have a question from’ Direct extraction’ DXC? YES7. Will it be possible to have question from BW direct connection with HANA – BW 7.3? Is it from

SP04? YES & ITS FROM SP03 ONWARDS.8. What kind of questions may expect from optimization topics? Will it be referring what type of

optimization? Modeling or reporting optimization? OPTIMIZATION FROM REPLICATION, DATA MODELLING & REPORTING.

Technical Question:

1. Difference between Variables and parameters? VARIABLE HAS ONLY ONE PARAMETER (ATTRIBUTE) BUT INPUT PARAMETERS HAS MORE THEN ONE PARAMETERS(ATTRIBUTE, CURRENCY, DATE, STATIC LIST etc)

2. Filters are available in both modeling and some reporting tool (all models as well in some reporting tool), with respect to optimization perspective which one is better? I believe we will have filter in all views (create attributes, measures and filter)? Best way to do it in the modeling

itself? Kindly confirm? BEST FILTER IS DURING REPLICATION, BEFORE EVEN THE DATA ARRIVES TO HANA, NEXT BEST IS IN THE DATA MODELLING & THEN COMES THE FILTER IN THE REPORTING.

3. Control module in SLT will be used to do the control the data flow/mapping or transformation like this – question here is –what we see in the data loading architecture as Load controller would be same or different, if it is different – what is this & what is the role of this?

CONTROLLER MODULE IS ONLY RELEVANT FOR SLT & ITS EMBEDDED INSIDE THE DMIS ADDON(TDMS) INSIDE THE SLT REPL. SERVER & USING FOR CONTROLLING THE LOAD & HANDLE TRANSFORMATIONS.

4. I found we have four types of system Schema – please correct me the below understanding?1. _SYS_BI – system defined activated tables are stored in the schema. (Time, month tables..)2. _SYS_BIC – Activated views – so called Column view – presented to reporting.3. _SYS_repo – Activated analytic privileges are stored here / please confirm..4. _sys_statistics – All system parameter (system administrator tasks) – please confirm (I am

not sure about)?

YES, ALL THE ABOVE CORRECT, ALSO READ ABOUT THE _SYS_XSENGINE

5. What is TREX? Found one place (Text Retrieval Information of EXtraction) – There is a lot of BWA / TREX in HANA? - I guess, it is an efficient interface in HANA which helps to store the

data in columnar perspective - kindly confirm? YES6. Default joins for analytic view? (Referential or inner join – just got confused, since one

document said inner and other document says referential Join – However both are similar –

kindly confirm which one to answer if asked in the exam? ) REFERNTIAL JOIN IS DEFAULT FROM SP03 ONWARDS.

7. Can we get any questions from Calculation view SQL script & CE function? YES8. Business layer in HANA studio? DATA preview? Please confirm? IT’S THE UNX

BUSINESS LAYER WHERE WE CAN APPLY BUSINESS LOGIC & NOT DATA PREVIEW

9. What are the accelerators used in HANA? I think, BWA& CO-PA are the only accelerators –

Do we have any other accelerators? Please confirm? HANA ITSELF IS THE ACCELERATOR , COPA ACCELERATOR & BWA ARE OTHER USECASE NAMES.

10. Basic question – In IMCE – we have four type of DB connection (ODBC, ODBO, JDBC and SQLDBC), but as we know the connection between replication server and HANA database is happened via DB connection… 2 question here – when we create schema we do not enter what type of DB connection it is? Which DB connection between this – will be doing this in the configuration instead of SET UP – where we would enter the DB connection details for

this connection? DB CONNECTION IS THE SQL DBC & WE DO THE SETTINGS INSIDE LTR OF SLT.
