SAP HANA Data Services is a powerful data integration and transformation tool that allows organizations to extract, transform, and load (ETL) data into SAP HANA and other target systems. It supports complex data workflows, cleansing, profiling, and integration from multiple heterogeneous sources. Setting up SAP HANA Data Services correctly is essential to harness its full potential in your data landscape.
This article provides a step-by-step guide to setting up SAP HANA Data Services to enable efficient data integration workflows with SAP HANA.
Before setting up SAP HANA Data Services, ensure you have:
SAP Data Services consists of multiple components:
