It’s important to convey and understand how SAP is moving away from a monolithic way of developing (SAP ECC era) to a nimble one that is modular and agile.Įxtensibility is a key capability of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions that enable customers to create a competitive advantage by customizing their business processes and allows partners to enrich ERP with tailor-made solutions. There is a lot of confusion on embedded ABAP, BTP ABAP, ABAP Cloud, Standard ABAP, and everything in between.
#Anylogic database update#
SAP S/4HANA extensibility strategy update comes with lots of benefits for traditional ABAPers and overall benefits for operating in a cloud-first environment.

THIRD EDITION, with a new discrete-event model of a small job shop and demonstration of the built-in AnyLogic database.Experts, before getting into the topic, let’s understand the motivation and purpose of the new modern extensibility options defined by the SAP for SAP S/4HANA Public, On-premise, and PCE editions.
#Anylogic database software#
AnyLogic is the unique simulation software that supports three simulation modeling methods: system dynamics, discrete event, and agent based modeling and allows you to create multi-metho THIRD EDITION, with a new discrete-event model of a small job shop and demonstration of the built-in AnyLogic database. The first practical textbook on AnyLogic 7 from AnyLogic developers. The book is structured around four examples: a model of a consumer market, an epidemic model, a model of a small job shop, and an airport model.ĪnyLogic is the unique simulation software that supports three simulation modeling methods: system dynamics, discrete event, and agent based modeling and allows you to create multi-method models. We also give some theory on different modeling methods. Comparing model runs with different parameter valuesĪdding a chart to visualize the model output You can consider this book as your first guide in studying AnyLogic 7.Īll the examples have been updated to conform to the latest version of the software, AnyLogic 7.3.1. Setting up flights from MS Excel spreadsheet. In my 4th year of University I had what would become one of my favorite courses, Simulation, where, as a final project, each student (or team of students) should choose a real problematic situation and create a simulation model (with AnyLogic). I choose something I was familiar with, the never-ending queue of the elevators of the University building, I asked for the blueprints and simulate several alternatives to find which was the best. For those who are already familiar with it, you can skip the introduction section or if you prefer, jump directly to the computational model Introduction In case you never heard of what simulation is, don't worry, I will give you a quick introduction to this incredible world. Simulation is a way of problem-solving, it basically consists of translating a problem into a digital realm, make changes or test alternatives in this new environment and see the results. This information is later used for decision making. Saving loads of money, time and manpower. Many processes can't be stopped or delayed, industries, for example, can just stop producing in order to test alternatives that might result in terrible outcomes! For this reason, it is safer, cheaper and much more convenient to use simulation. Simulation Software Companies usually compare simulation with working with spreadsheets (such as Excel) in order to make decision and, although spreadsheets are really useful for some problems, when it comes to testing alternatives of the real world, a dynamic, interactive and more visual approach is preferred, especially when talking to non-technical people, who probably will be the ones making the final decision.Īnother point is that Simulation Software relies (in most cases) on random number generators and thus the outcome of this software tends to be much similar to the real world.
