SAP HANA via NetWeaver
This connection type is used for SAP HANA databases when direct database connection is not possible. It allows you to connect using the SAP Application Server.
Before you can use this connection type, you need to import a transport request to your system. It includes an RFC-enabled Function Module which is used by Tracelake to connect to the database. Additionaly, you need to make sure the technical user has sufficient authorizations to call the RFC module.
