Machine where ODX Server resides has available connection to SAP HANA (using IP and Port i am able to telnet it). When i try to input the data into data source connection info in TimeXtender (either manually or as connection string) I am getting following errors:
If the connector is SAP HANA 2022/23 the error is following:
If the connector is SAP HANA 2019/20/21 the error shows that i am not connected
Is this a connectivity issue or am i doing something wrong / missing something? Note that i am not using DRIVER={HDBODBC} in connection string and i am not specifying any database to connect to. The above connection string works in Azure Data Factory.
Thank you!

Hi, thanks for the reply, i will investigate with our network team and post findings here, maybe that will be relevant to somebody in the future
Hi Thomas, thanks for the prompt response. I have tried to use all the connectors from 2019 until 2023.
Driver parameter was required for Azure Data Factory, but since there is no option for that on ODX server, i am not using driver parameter at all. The only parameters i input are under “Authentication” section. The error with SAP HANA 2023 connector looks like this:
I get the same result if i remove Database value, enable/disable “Include System Objects” option. And if i change “Use SSL” to True it drops me instantly. Hence the question - if everything should look good here. Since if yes - then there is some sort of firewall issue, even though i can ping the HANA database
I have not used CData against SAP Hana (for ECC / ERP it is pretty bad from a performance perspective) but your SAP instance may be behind a SAP router (or the equivalent if HANA is different there). You should be able to install some kind of SAP application to connect from the ODX Server machine - that will tell you if the networking side is OK.

Are you sure it actually is a CData provider you use?
I can’t find a driver field.
