Expected Result
2.6 Using PAL in SAP HANA AFM
The SAP HANA Application Function Modeler (AFM) in SAP HANA Studio supports functions from PAL in
flowgraph models. With the AFM, you can easily add PAL function nodes to your flowgraph, specify its
parameters and input/output table types, and generate the procedure, all without writing any SQLScript code.
You can also execute the procedure to get the output result of the function, and save the auto-generated
SQLScript code for future use.
The main procedure is as follows:
1. Create a new flowgraph or open an existing flowgraph in the Project Explorer view.
Note
For details on how to create a flowgraph, see "Creating a Flowgraph" in SAP HANA Developer Guide for
SAP HANA Studio
2. Specify the target schema by selecting the flowgraph container and editing Target Schema in the
Properties view.
3. Add the input(s) for the flowgraph by doing the following:
1. Right-click the input anchor region on the left side of the flowgraph container and choose Add Input.
2. Edit the table types of the input by editing the signature the Properties view.
Note
You can also drag a table from the catalog in the Systems view to the input anchor region of the
flowgraph container.
4. Add a PAL function to the flowgraph by doing the following:
1. Drag the function node from the Predictive Analysis Library compartment of the Palette to the
flowgraph editing area.
2. Specify the input table types of the function by selecting the input anchor and editing its signature in
the Properties view.
