Permissions

You should have the following permissions for the database:

Object privileges:

  • ```ALTERY```

System privileges:

  • ```IMPORT```

Schema privileges:

  • ```CREATE ANY```
  • ```DELETE```
  • ```DROP```
  • ```EXECUTE```
  • ```INDEX```
  • ```INSERT```
  • ```SELECT```
  • ```UPDATE```
  • ```SELECT METADATA```

Complete configuration

{%docs-informer info%} According to the Naming Conventions for SAP HANA, names are not case sensitive (e.g., CUSTOMER is the same as Customer), but object names are converted to uppercase when stored in the SAP HANA database. However, if you enclose a name in quotation marks, it is case-sensitive. {%docs-informer-end%}

On the SAP HANA connection page, fill in the following fields:

  1. Enter a name for your Destination connection in the Title.
  2. Enter the Host.
  3. Enter the Port.
  4. Enter the User Name. {%dropdown-button name="user-name"%}

{%dropdown-body name="user-name"%}

User Name can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores and must start with a letter.

The maximum length is 127 characters.

{%dropdown-end%}

  1. Enter the Password.
  2. (Optional) Specify the Schema of your database.
  3. Select the necessary Use static IP option from the dropdown. {%dropdown-button name="use-static-ip"%}

{%dropdown-body name="use-static-ip"%}

Select Yes for Use static IP option if you allow Improvado to connect your database by the static IPs mentioned on the Destination connection page.

Select No if you have permitted access to your database from any IP. In this case, Improvado will connect your database using dynamic IPs not listed on the Destination connection page.
