HANA and Java

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am looking for documentation/best practices regarding the programmatic retrieval of data from HANA. I am attempting to create a Java front end application with a HANA back end.

Please let me know if there is any information available in this area.

Thanks in advance,

Rafal

Hello Rafal,

there really isn't much to it. Using the HANA JDBC driver you can easily select or update data in the HANA database. See chapter 3.5 in the developer guide: http://help.sap.com/hana/hana_dev_en.pdf

Hi Marc,

Thanks for your response. I have tried an approach where I have a client

attempting to connect to the the HANA trial server running on Cloudshare.

This did not work for me as the ports on that trial system appear to be

blocked for external access.

On another note, are there any best practice references available for HANA

and mobile applications. I have seen some demo mobile applications and was

wondering if there is a standard architectural approach to connecting HANA

to a mobile front end.

Thanks in advance and hope to hear from you soon,

Rafal

Indeed there are guidelines for building mobile applications on top of HANA. These pretty much circle around the HANA XS Engine and SAPUI5.

However, we currently do not support custom development project using these technologies yet. They are available SAP-internally for building apps. Once this becomes available externally, we certainly will publish guidelines and examples on how to do it.

As I wrote, it's not available externally yet. You can get a glimps of how it works when you look at the INA toolkit here: http://help.sap.com/hana_appliance/#section5
