Establishing a Connection
Enabling SSIS in Visual Studio 2022
If you're using Visual Studio 2022, you will need to install the SQL Server Integration Services Projects extension to use SSIS.
- Navigate to Extensions > Manage Extensions.
- In the Manage Extensions window's search box, search for "SQL Server Integration Services Projects 2022" and select the extension in the list.
- Click Download.
- Close Visual Studio and run the downloaded Microsoft.DataTools.IntegrationServices.exe installer. Proceed through the installer with default settings.
- Open Visual Studio. There should now be an "Integration Services Project" project template available.
Adding the SAP Business Warehouse Connection Manager
Create a new connection manager as follows:
- Create a Visual Studio project with the "Integration Services Project" template.
- In the project, right-click within the Connection Managers window and select New Connection from the menu.
- In the Description column, select CData SAP Business Warehouse Connection Manager and click Add...
- Configure the component as described in the next section.
Alternatively, if you have an existing project and CData SAP Business Warehouse Source or CData SAP Business Warehouse Destination:
- Right-click your CData SAP Business Warehouse source or destination component in your data flow
- Select Edit... to open an editor window.
- Click the New... button next to the Connection manager: dropdown selector to create a connection manager.
- Configure the component as described in the next section.
Connecting to SAP Business Warehouse
To connect, set the URL property to a valid SAP Business Warehouse server base URL and provide authentication. The component must connect to SAP Business Warehouse instances hosted over HTTP with XMLA access.
Authenticating to SAP Business Warehouse
The following authentication methods are supported:
- Basic
- Anonymous Authentication (None)
- Kerberos
Basic
Set User and Password and set AuthScheme to Basic.
Anonymous Authentication
If anonymous authentication is available, set AuthScheme to None to avoid authentication.
Kerberos
See Using Kerberos for details on how to authenticate with Kerberos.
Securing SAP Business Warehouse Connections
By default, the component attempts to negotiate SSL/TLS by checking the server's certificate against the system's trusted certificate store. To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert property for the available formats.
