Notes on the Screen Presentation
You are reading this e-book in a file format (EPUB or Mobi) that makes the book content adaptable to the display options of your reading device and to your personal needs. Thats a great thing; but unfortunately not every device displays the content in the same way and the rendering of features such as pictures and tables or hyphenation can lead to difficulties. This e-book was optimized for the presentation on as many common reading devices as possible.

Dear Reader,
I write this optimistically. I write this in the hopes that after months of hard work, long nights, and way too many email exchanges initiated by yours truly (sorry Rudi!), that Rudi will finally be able to say: See, here it is! The fruits of my labor; the sweat from my brow. Take it!
If this book has taught me anything (besides editors and authors make great teams), its that SAP HANA is still growing, and sometimes its a mad dash to keep up. As Rudi can tell you, just when you think a chapter is ready to go, something is updated. However, with a little luck and a whole lot of elbow grease, over the next week this book will slide feet first into the finish line.
But, you dont need me to tell you that the world of SAP HANA is constantly shifting. Like us, youre in the business of staying on top of the latest SAP HANA has to offer. Carefully crafted to prepare test-takers for the exam, this book is your first step in staying one step ahead of the competition and furthering your career. So, as you prepare for the big test, take solace in the fact that youve come to the right place, and, of course, Rudi and I are rooting for you.

Preface
The SAP PRESS Certification Series is designed to provide anyone who is preparing to take an SAP certified exam with all of the review, insight, and practice they need to pass the exam. The series is written in practical, easy-to-follow language that provides targeted content that is focused on what you need to know to successfully take your exam.
This book is specifically written for those preparing to take the SAP Certified Application Associate SAP HANA C_HANAIMP_11 exam, so if youve purchased this book, youre obviously interested in learning how to successfully pass the certification exam. This book will also be helpful to those of you taking the SPS 09 exam (C_HANAIMP151) and SPS 10 delta exam (D_HANAIMP_10). The SAP Certified Application Associate SAP HANA exam tests the taker in the areas of data modeling. It focuses on core SAP HANA skills, as opposed to skills that are specific to a particular implementation type (e.g., SAP BW on SAP HANA or SAP Business Suite on SAP HANA). The Application Associate test can be taken by anyone who signs up.
Using this book, you will walk away with a thorough understanding of the exam structure and what to expect in taking it. You will receive a refresher on key concepts covered on the exam, and will be able to test your skills via sample practice questions and answers. The book is closely aligned with the course syllabus and the exam structure, so all of the information provided is relevant and applicable to what you need to know to prepare. We explain the SAP products and features using practical examples and straightforward language, so you can prepare for the exam and improve your skills in your day-to-day work as an SAP HANA data modeler. Each book in the series has been structured and designed to highlight what you really need to know.
