Multiple methods to work with HANAScenario Connectivity Methods Comments
HANA DB HANA is the database for SAP ERP orSAP BW
• SQL Connector
• Report Connector
• Query Connector
• Extractor Connector
• BAPI Connector
• BEx Connector
• DSO Connector
• OLAP Connector
• Infoprovider
• These methods all involve connecting to the SAP application layer, not directly to HANA
• All of these connectors are packaged together in a single Qlik SAP Connector license
HANA Native Native HANA applications
• ODBC Connectivity
• ODBC Connectivity with Direct Discovery
• ODBC Connectivity with On Demand App Generation *
• Qlik Sense and QlikView both include ODBC Connectivity
• An ODBC driver also needs to be installed with SAP
• On Demand App Generation examples are shipped with QlikSense 3.0
* On Demand App Generation is a method that empowers the user to automatically create a purpose-built analysis app every time they select a slice of a very large data source.
