Free, comprehensive, and many learn it at college/university Offers rich library of statistical and graphical packages 2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 30

32 R Integration for SAP HANA Functionality Overview R integration for SAP HANA enables the use of the R open source environment in the context of the HANA in-memory database Establishes a communication channel between HANA and R for fast data exchange Improved data exchange mechanism supports transfer of intermediate database tables directly into vector oriented data structures of R. Performance advantage over standard tuple-based SQL interfaces with no need for data duplication on the R server. Embedded scenario: Supported by providing the R-operator as a custom operator in the calcmodel of the calculation engine. This allows the application user to embed R script within SQL script and submit entire query to the HANA database. As the plan execution reaches R-node, a separate R runtime is invoked using Rserve and input tables of R node passed to R process using improved data transfer mechanism SAP AG.

33 R Integration for SAP HANA Embedded Scenario Embedding R scripts within the SAP HANA database execution Enhancements are made to the SAP HANA database to allow R code (RLANG) to be processed as part of the overall query execution plan This scenario is suitable when the modeling and consumption environment sits on HANA and the R environment is used for specific statistical functions Send data and R script Run the R scripts Get back the result from R to SAP HANA 2013 SAP AG.

44 Data Access 7 billion records with data from telemetry recordings, services systems, other systems. < 1 second with query of 7 billion records 8 Weeks Implementation Product Solution Asset utilization Schedule variance Fuel(cost) insight Business Challenges Operational systems are comprised of disparate heterogeneous systems. Fleet operators and supervisors only have a reactive and ad hoc ability to investigate and understand only a fraction of potential issues within Aurizon operations. Technical Challenges Data used by one operational unit are mainly used within that unit and not shared by other units that may benefit from it. Benefits Better manage the 650+ locomotives within the Aurizon business Assist with improving locomotive fuel usage which is one of the largest costs to the business Present cases to various below rail providers on network delays to initiate network improvements Enable Aurizon to identify the areas that where cost efficiencies can be achieved Will be able to track the progress of the identified cost-saving measures From our perspective, this is great stuff. It is good to see it. So visual so easy instead of spending days and days churning data to get the results. To be honest we do understand the risk that we face in the current environment without having this capability. -- Louise Collins, SVP Operation 2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 44
