IS SAP Identity Management 8.0 powered by HANA?

[yatin_varasada3]

Hi IDM Gurus,

We are planning to implement IDM. Just started looking at the latest version available.

We currently have SAP Netweaver 7.4 JAVA instance on HANA. Looking at PAM IDM 8.0 is supported for NW 7.4 but cant find HANA database listed. Can you please guide if IDM 8.0 is available for HANA DB?

thanks,

Yatin

Hello Yatin,
                 there are plans to release IdM running on SAP Hana in the near future therefore check the release notes in the upcoming support pack releases for details on this. Most likely there will be some announcement here also.

Best regards,

Hi Yatin,

No, HANA cannot be used as database for SAP IDM product, yet. As I got to know, advantages of HANA, such as column based and no stored procedures, is actually drawbacks for SAP IDM product.

As mentioned in PAM, Oracle, MS SQL and DB2 are the supported databases for SAP IDM.

However you can connect HANA to IDM as target system and create users and assign roles in HANA using IDM.

Kind regards,

Jai
