Note that this iView template is mainly intended for ABAP-based scenarios.What does the above statement actually mean? Does that mean, this is possbile for only applications consuming data from ERP?
If so, can anyone suggest some resource or ideas how it could be achieved with SAPUI5 applications on HANA.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
I had similar questions some time ago and did not get any really exploitable answers till today: Integrating UI5 applications in EP with local system object
In fact the practical idea is simple: take an UI5-plugins enriched Kepler (Luna?), write a native UI5 application and deploy it on your portal. Integration can be using available templates (you will need an backend loop, I have no idea how to motivate this effort) or URL iView. The context of data consumption within your application is entirely independent from this process and is up to you, in your case its HANA consumption as you mentioned. Of course you will need know-how on it, but its in fact not a portal question, take a look to available how-to's.
I tryed a similar POC scenario for Fiori launchpad on portal and it worked more or less well for me. For my self it was something to play around with, imho: in current delivered quality (7.4 SP9 with last patches) its nothing I would suggest for a customer of my. There are serious bugs and restrictions on AS Java regarding this topic (e.g. new theme desginer (1890375), integration questions and so on). So if you are thinking about to sell this to somebody, think twice 
, but this is my very subjective imho.
