Multiple applications running on single SAP HANA db - MDC containers, MCOD, MCOS, Co-Deployment

Can we run more than application on a single SAP HANA database?

With SPS 9 SAP provides multi-tenancy capabilities to run multiple applications in individual containers (MDC - Multiple Data base Containers) on a single HANA data base, which basically replaces the MCOS/D concepts, although you can run MCOS/D in a single HANA container.

If a customer chooses MDC, all application run on a single db, means same revision and everything related to this, and a customer can choose a different HA/DR concept and different backup provision for each container.

Please watch this space for more details. At TechEd && d-code 2014, the MDC capability was presented in the session DMM109, which you can find below..

MCOD/MCOS

For Multiple applications running together on one SAP HANA data base, SAP uses the term MCOD - Multiple Components One Database.

For Multiple Components on one appliance with multiple SAP HANA schemas and data bases SAP uses the term MCOS - Multiple Components One Systems.

For example, one scenario is to run SAP HANA Live and a SAP HANA datamart together with BW on one SAP HANA database.

SAP supports deploying and running multiple applications on a single SAP HANA production appliance only for packaged applications and scenarios listed on the "White List" included in Support for multiple SAP HANA based applications running with a single SAP HANA system. If a particular packaged application or scenario is not on the "White List", then it is not currently supported to run together on the same SAP HANA production instance with any other packaged application or scenario.

Co-Deployment

In addition to MCOS/MCOD, SAP introduced the concept of co-deployment for applications which can run as add-ons for ERP implementations sharing the HANA database as well as a single schema and most importantly maybe the DDIC Data Dictiponary, reducing the need for data governance concepts. Considerations from a SLA perspective with pro and cons for the different deployment options are explored in detail in the TechEd 2013 session RDP102.

Can we run SAP BW together with SAP Suite on SAP HANA database?

BW can be run in MDC deployments with Suite applications but we recommend to evaluate in detail the pros and cons of combining a relatively small footprint in ERP with a large Data Warehouse footprint using BW.

For customers where one use case scenario for BW together with BPC/IP/BCS is the financial closing processes, SAP provides with sFIN and Suite on HANA the possibility to eliminate data transfers between systems and enables the Business to run trial P&L and Balance Sheets any time of the day and any day of the quarter, as SAP CIO Helen Arnold describes in this interview.

The system architecture behind this real-time closing process is the Embbedd BW. Please see Embedded Business Warehouse | on SCN for up-to-date information, and please note that SAP does not recommend to use the embedded BW for a data warehouse use case.
