Create a System
Create a system, which is a stand-alone data source in the distributed data landscape. A
system can belong to only one zone.
Context
You create a system in the SAP Data Hub cockpit.
Note
If you have more than one instance of
SAP Data Hub installed, do not create multiple systems with the same agent
information. If multiple systems are used to create multiple connections, when
the same data set names are used by multiple connections, the data sets are
overwritten.
Procedure
-
In the Landscape Management page, click + to add a system.
-
Enter the system ID and description, and select the system type.
The following system types are supported:
|
System Type
|
Operation
|
|
Admin
|
Supports a connection to an email server so that an
email notification task can be created.
|
|
SAP HANA
|
Supports a connection to a REST service in a remote
SAP HANA server.
The service supports browsing and execution of flow
graphs.
Requires callback authentication.
|
|
SAP Vora
|
Refers to an agent that is deployed in a Hadoop
distribution (Hortonworks or Cloudera) with SAP Vora
installed.
Supports HDFS operations such as copy and delete file
tasks.
Supports SPARK jobs and Data Pipelines graphs execution.
Requires callback authentication.
|
|
SAP BW
|
Supports connection to an SAP BW system.
Browsing and execution of BW processes in an SAP BW
system.
Requires callback authentication using basic
authentication credentials in the RFC Destination
(transaction sm59) of the SAP BW system.
|
|
SAP LT Replication Server
|
Supports connection to an SAP Landscape
Transformation REST API.
|
-
Select the appropriate information for the specified type.
-
Specify whether an SSL connection is required for the system.
Note
To enable SSL for a system, you must set the necessary certificates to the Data
Provisioning Agent. Otherwise, the connection between the agent and SAP HANA
is not encrypted even if the checkbox is selected.
Different systems
using the same agent on particular host use the first system's SSL
configuration and ignore the SSL setting for subsequent
systems.
For more information, see the SAP Data Hub
Installation Guide.
-
To validate the callback authentication, click the
Validate button.
-
Click Add.
-
To validate an existing SAP HANA or SAP Vora system, from the Edit System
window, click the Validate button. Validation ensures
that the connectivity between SAP Data Hub and the remote system is working
correctly.
Results
For adapter-based and SAP BW systems, you can view the system
connectivity status in the first column of the Landscape Management page.
