Configuring SAP HANA DB ConnectionLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

In this section, SAP HANA is used, as it is the default database.

Procedure

  1. Logon to the SAP HANA system; collect some basic properties, such as host address, port, and version.
  2. Create the SAP HANA user for the framework services.

    Refer to the User Management section of this document.

    Logon with the user immediately to check if the account was created successfully. You may need to change the password if password change is enforced.

  3. Create DB Connection
    1. Logon to your ABAP system (the one that has the SAP_BS_FND software component) and run transaction DBCO to create a DB connection with the service user account. The host and port information of the SAP HANA box are needed.
    2. Choose the appropriate DBMS for the connected database. For SAP HANA, the DBMS is HDB.
      Note There could be some existing DB connections. They may have different purposes. Therefore, it’s not recommended to reuse the existing connection.
  4. Write down the name of your DB connection after creating it, because you will need it when you configure the system settings.
    Note

    If you have a different GIS database (optional), you have the option to replace the standard implementation for HANA GIS DB with your custom plugin. Refer to the Security section.

    To configure the framework, refer to the System Settings section of this document for configuration information of DB connection name.
