Creating BICS connection to SAP HANA

0 Kudos

Hi,

In SAP documentation it is given that we can create BICS connection to connect to SAP HANA. But when I try to create OLAP connection, I see that BICS client is only for BW and for HANA it shows separate HANA client.

Can someone please help understand this.

Can you point to the piece of documentation that states that a common BICS interface to SAP HANA is available?

Yes, here you go. It is from HA100 SP11 document , Unit 5. The text is as below.

So?

SAP uses it as it sees fit. E.g. the SAP BW on HANA solutions leverage a BICS like interface.

Nobody said that it will be used in each and every case.

Thanks Lars. I just wanted to know if it is possible or not, as It was mentioned in SAP document.

Thanks for clarification. for BW, BI clients use BICS that I am aware and was thinking the same that this piece of text should be referring to BW on HANA. May be there should have been note in document that it is only for BW on HANA.
