4. When would you choose an SAP River Project?
You are an early adopter of new SAP
Technologies
You are looking for an accelerated HANA XS
development experience
You have limited experience with XS-JS,
SQLScript and XS tools
If you have extensive experience with existing XS
development, or you require high control over
performance, or your application is mainly about
exposing existing tables and analytical views asis, then an XS Project may be more appropriate.
