It is recommended that you install 32- and 64-bit applications and ODBC drivers on separate machines to avoid issues that arise when different versions of the same drivers are installed on the same machine. Connect from ArcMap To connect from ArcMap to SAP HANA, install and configure the SAP HANA client ODBC driver on all ArcMap machines and create a connection from ArcMap to the database.
Install and configure the SAP HANA client ODBC driver Follow these steps to configure the SAP HANA client ODBC driver used by ArcMap:. Download a from the, and install it on each ArcMap machine.
You can connect to all the view types in HANA via the odbc connection. The attribute view and calculation view are straight forward just like anything else we connect to via ODBC. The Analytic View requires a group by clause. Query from Hana and then go view the SQL code and that should give you the format you need. Install the ODBC driver. The driver is installed as part of the SAP HANA client installation. Write code to create a connection to the database. You can use one of.
Set up a system data source name (DSN) using the ODBC Data Source Administrator (32 bit). You will use the data source name when you connect from ArcGIS to the database. Use the same name when configuring all SAP HANA ODBC clients to that same database. For example, use the same data source name when you configure the SAP HANA ODBC driver on your ArcMap machines as you use when you configure the data source name for the ODBC driver on your ArcGIS Server machines.
If you do not use the same name, you will encounter problems when publishing, because ArcGIS compares the connection strings of the data being published and the database that is registered. Click the System DSN tab in the ODBC Data Source Administrator (32 bit) and click Add. For example, if you installed the SAP HANA client ODBC driver to C: Program Files sap hdbclient, add that to the PATH environment variable.
Connect to the database Add a database connection using the Database Connection dialog box or geoprocessing tool. The following steps describe using the Database Connection dialog box. Expand Database Connections in the Catalog tree in ArcMap or ArcCatalog and double-click Add Database Connection. Choose SAP HANA from the Database Platform drop-down list. In the Data source text box, type the data source name you configured for the ODBC driver.
Choose Database authentication for the Authentication Type. Provide a valid user name and password in the User name and Password text boxes, respectively. If you prefer not to save your login information as part of the connection, uncheck Save user name and password; doing this can help maintain the security of the database. However, if you do this, you will be prompted to provide a user name and password every time you connect. Also note that Save user name and password must be checked for connection files that provide ArcGIS services with access to the database or if you want to use the Catalog search to locate data accessed through this connection file. Click OK to connect.
A file is created in Users AppData Roaming ESRI Desktop ArcCatalog. You can move the connection to another location; just be sure users and applications that need to make a connection have read access to the directory where you place the connection file.
If you use the data from this connection as the source for a service, such as a geoprocessing or geocoding service, you may need to place the connection file in a shared location on your network. See for more information about sharing a connection file. Connect from ArcGIS Server If you want to publish from ArcMap to an ArcGIS Server site and want the resultant services to use the data in SAP HANA, install and configure a 64-bit SAP HANA client ODBC driver on each machine in the ArcGIS Server site and register the database with the site. Install the SAP HANA client and configure the ODBC driver Download the SAP HANA client ODBC driver, install it, and configure a data source name. Follow the steps appropriate for your ArcGIS Server operating system, either. ArcGIS Server on Windows Follow these steps to configure the SAP HANA client ODBC driver on each ArcGIS Server Windows machine:.
Download a from the, and install it on each machine in the ArcGIS Server site. Set up a system data source name (DSN) using the ODBC Data Source Administrator (64 bit). You will use the data source name when you connect from ArcGIS to the database. Use the same name when configuring all SAP HANA ODBC clients to that same database. For example, use the same data source name when you configure the SAP HANA client ODBC driver on your ArcMap machines as you use when you configure the data source name for the ODBC driver on your ArcGIS Server machines. If you do not use the same name, you will encounter problems when publishing, because ArcGIS compares the connection strings of the data being published and the database that is registered. Click the System DSN tab in the ODBC Data Source Administrator (64 bit) and click Add.
For example, if you installed the SAP HANA client ODBC driver to C: Program Files sap hdbclient, add that to the PATH environment variable. ArcGIS Server on Linux Follow these steps to configure the SAP HANA client ODBC driver on each ArcGIS Server Linux machine:. Download a from the, and install it on each machine in the ArcGIS Server site.
Install a Linux ODBC driver manager on each ArcGIS Server machine if one is not already installed. Edit the SAP HANA ODBC connection files. The files must be named.odbc.ini and.odbcinst.ini.
Be sure there are no spaces around the equal signs (=) in the.odbc.ini file. For example, this entry does not have spaces around the equal signs: Driver=//sap/hdbclient/libodbcHDB.so Description=SAP Hana ODBC ServerNode=: UID= Password= SPATIALTYPES=1 ODBC IANAAppCodePage=4 InstallDir=//sap/hdbclient Trace=0 TraceDll=/opt/odbc64v51/lib/odbctrac.so TraceFile=/tmp/odbctrace.out UseCursorLib=0 Note. The SPATIALTYPES=1 entry is not required if you are using ArcGIS Server 10.6.1 with a supported version of SAP HANA 2.0. In the.odbcinst.ini file, such spacing is not required as shown in this example: Description =SAP HANA ODBC Driver64 = //sap/hdbclient/libodbcHDB.so.
Set up an ODBC data source name. Use this name when you connect from ArcGIS to the database.
Use the same ODBC data source name when configuring all SAP HANA ODBC clients to that same database. For example, configure the data source name on your ArcGIS Desktop machines to be the same as the data source name for the SAP HANA client ODBC driver on the machines in your ArcGIS Server sites. If you do not use the same name, you will encounter problems when publishing, because ArcGIS compares the connection strings of the data being published and the database that is registered.
Alter the inituserparam.sh script (Linux only) Note. A fix is required to use ArcGIS Server 10.5.x on Linux with SAP HANA.
Contact Esri technical support (within the United States) or your distributor (outside the United States) if you require this configuration. Once you have installed the database client files, alter the inituserparam.sh script installed with ArcGIS Server to reference the client files. You can access this script by browsing to the /arcgis/server/usr directory. Ensure that the ArcGIS Server installation owner on each machine has at least read and execute permissions on the database client libraries. Open the inituserparam.sh script in a text editor.
Remove the comment mark (#) from these lines and replace the information with the path to the directory where you installed the SAP HANA client.
