SAP Predictive Analytics trial - connect to HANA

[Former Member]

Hi,

I just downloaded the PA 2.3 trial and am trying to connect it to our HANA environment for some tests. However I don't see the ability to be able to do so.

I go to Data Manager -> Create or Edit Analytic Data -> Browse.

I only see three options, Excel files, MS Access DB, Visio DB files.

Is there an option for testing out PA with HANA? I have seen online tutorials with much better connectivity options being demoed.

thanks,

Nitin

Hi Nitin,

You first need to install the ODBC client for HANA then to configure the connection to your HANA system from there. This will then appear in the list. What are you trying to achieve in your trial? If you want to test modeling you should directly connect to your HANA items from the Modeler component.

Also check our PAM in order to make sure we do support the HANA revision for your system.

Best regards
