Third Party ETL Tool Certification Program for SAP HANA

Home


The SAP HANA (In memory) database supports a wide variety of interfaces: ODBC (for C/C++ based programs), JDBC (for Java applications),
ODBO (for analytic applications), and internally the Python DBAPI and SQLDBC. SAP HANA database interfaces provide the implementation layer
between the database and the application. The supported interfaces components provide a database access Application Programming Interface (API)
 for their respective language and environment. For some interface components the API is defined by a standards body or an application.


The objective of the certification program is to integrate SAP HANA with 3rd party ETL tools. Once the minimum requirements by the partner ETL tool are met, the integration by SAP is certified. The following interfaces are currently available for partners to certify their ETL tools against SAP HANA.

Interface Environment API Description Version
JDBC JAVA Java Community Process (JCP) 3.0, 4.0
ODBC C/C++ SQL Standard (SQL/CLI), Microsoft 3.0, 3.51
Certification Prerequisites

The following system landscape prerequisites must be deployed by the partners in their lab environment for the SAP HANA certification:

SAP HANA (SP04 or SP05, latest Revision) appliance
SAP HANA Studio and SAP HANA Drivers installed – Latest Revision
SAP Data Sources Connectivity ( Ex: ECC, ERP, BW, SCM, CRM etc.)
Non Sap Data Sources Connectivity ( 3rd party Applications/Databases)
Partner ETL tool (latest release version) landscape configured and connected to SAP HANA via ODBC/JDBC dedicated user.
Connectivity to SAP HANA Cloud instance on Amazon Web Services -> For cloud based ETL use case scenarios

Technical Requirements

This section provides a list of the ETL relevant HANA database features and associated requirements for tighter integration between the ETL tool and the SAP HANA database. A partner ETL tool certified on SAP HANA should enable consumption of these features to the end user for all data replication business scenarios. If the ETL tool has any limitations in supporting these features, they must be communicated clearly during the certification process.

Connectivity, Security Read, Write & Update data into SAP HANA db Bulk Data Inserts, Delta Loading Mechanism Administration, Monitoring, Error Handlind & Debugging
Mechnism to import data into SAP HANA Repository for all Metadata Objects etc.
