You can also define your data-persistence model here by using design-time artifacts to define tables, views, sequences, and schemas.
• The Debug perspective provides views and menu options that help you test your applications, for example: to view the source code, monitor or modify variables, and set break points.
• The Modeler perspective enables views and menu options that allow you to define your analytic model, for example: attribute, analytic, and calculation views of SAP HANA data.
• The Team Synchronizing perspective offers views and menu options that enable you to synchronize artifacts between your local file system and the SAP HANA Repository.
• The Administration Console perspective delivers views that enable you to perform administrative tasks on SAP HANA instances.
