Connect to SAP HANA

Let's configure the SAP HANA connection properties to connect to SAP HANA.

Before you begin

Before you configure a connection, download and configure the SAP HANA libraries, and install and configure the 64-bit SAP HANA ODBC driver and data source on the Secure Agent machine.
Check out Prerequisites to learn more about these tasks.

Connection details

The following table describes the basic connection properties:

Use Secret Vault
Stores sensitive credentials for this connection in the secrets manager that is configured for your organization.
This property appears only if secrets manager is set up for your organization.
This property is not supported by Data Ingestion and Replication.
When you enable the secret vault in the connection, you can select which credentials that the Secure Agent retrieves from the secrets manager. If you don't enable this option, the credentials are stored in the repository or on a local Secure Agent, depending on how your organization is configured.
For information about how to configure and use a secrets manager, see Secrets manager configuration.
