SAP HANA Flowgraph

The SAP HANA flowgraph operator helps execute an SAP HANA flowgraph in an SAP HANA system.

Executing an SAP HANA flowgraph operator within a graph helps you to transform data from a remote source into SAP HANA either in batch or real-time mode. The flowgraphs are predefined in the server and represents a complete data flow. User must select the required SAP HANA flowgraph, and all the operations that the flowgraph must perform is defined in the server.

This operator has one input port (input) and two output ports (output and error). Use this operator in a graph that uses only other data workflow operators.

Connect the input port to another data workflow operator to trigger its start. On the error output port, the engine writes a message in case of errors when trying to execute the flowgraph. On success, the engine writes a message on the output port. If you want the execution of the graph to proceed, connect the respective output ports to other data workflow operators.

output

string

If the operator executed successfully, this port carries the success message.

error

string

Operator error. If the port is connected then the graph will keep running. If it is not connected, the graph will terminate with the operator error.
