Is there a processor to put files to HANA from Apache NiFi?

Thanks.

@Alvin Jin I recently found out through this post the options:

  • Restful API (preferred method) more on api here.
  • SAP hann jdbc connect. more here.

@Randy Gelhausen pointed out a very important issue connecting via jdbc.

"one thing to understand here is that traditionally going direct to SAP tables is a no-no. There's a lot of relational modeling that using the SAP APIs does for you behind the scenes. Just depends on what you need."

That being said I would recommend Restful api if possible.

You should be able to connect to HANA via a JDBC connection using the DBCPConnectionPool Controller object, then use the ExecuteSQL processor to submit queries.
