Configure a Connection Profile

From the CData ribbon, click Get Data and select From SAP HANA XSA connection/s to launch the CData Query window. To setup a new connection, you will have to click the New SAP HANA XSA Connection button. Here you can set the connection settings, test the connection, and save the connection profile.

SAP HANA XSA uses the OAuth authentication standard. Before connecting, it is necessary to establish an SAP HANA XSA OData Service. See Creating a Custom OAuth App for a guide.

To connect to SAP HANA XSA using the OAuthPassword Grant type set the following:

• OAuthClientId: Set this to the Client Id specified in the UAA service JSON file.
• OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the Client Secret specified in the UAA service JSON file.
• Url: Set this to the OData service endpoint.
• XSUAAURL: Set this to the UAA service url.
• User: Set your accounts username.
• Password: Set your accounts password

Once you've configured the OData Service, you can establish a connection using Custom Credentials.
