Live Data Connection to SAP HANA Cloud Using an "SAP HANA Cloud" Connection and Password
Authentication
To access SAP HANA Cloud data without having to set up the SAP HANA
Analytics Adapter, you can create a live data connection using the “SAP HANA Cloud”
connection type, and password authentication.
Context
Note
This connection type works only in Cloud Foundry environments (non-SAP data
centers). For Neo environments (SAP data centers), see Live Data Connection to SAP HANA Cloud Using a Direct Connection and SSO.
SAP Analytics Cloud can be
hosted either on SAP data centers or on non-SAP data centers (for example,
Amazon Web Services (AWS)). Determine which environmentSAP Analytics Cloud is
hosted on by inspecting yourSAP Analytics Cloud URL:
- A single-digit number, for example us1 or jp1, indicates an SAP data center
(Neo environment).
- A two-digit number, for example eu10 or us30, indicates a non-SAP data
center (Cloud Foundry environment).
Procedure
-
Go to .
-
In the Select a data source dialog, expand
Connect to Live Data, and select SAP
HANA.
-
In the dialog, enter a name and description for your connection.
The connection name cannot be changed later.
-
Set the connection type to SAP HANA Cloud.
-
Add your SAP HANA Cloud host name.
-
(Optional) Choose a Default Language from the
list.
This language will always be used for this connection and cannot be changed
by users without administrator privileges.
Note
You must know which languages are installed on your
SAP
HANA system before adding a language code. If the language code
you enter is invalid,
SAP Analytics Cloud will
default to the language specified by your system metadata.
-
Under Authentication Method, select User Name
and Password.
You'll need to provide a user name that exists in SAP HANA
Cloud as a database user. The database user needs to have roles and
privileges for InA, and needs to have access to the SAP HANA artifacts that are
needed to retrieve data for the InA request.
-
Select OK.
