I cannot get past this error when connecting to SAP HANA cloud test system via SAP HANA linked service in Azure Data Factory:
Error code

9603

Details

ERROR [HY000] [SAP AG][LIBODBCHDB DLL][HDBODBC] General error;-10719 Connect failed (invalid SERVERNODE '') ERROR [HY000] [SAP AG][LIBODBCHDB DLL][HDBODBC] General error;-10719 Connect failed (invalid SERVERNODE '')

Activity ID

Works perfectly when did it with ODBC Linked Service. Also connects successfully to SAP HANA Cloud through Local machine ODBC driver.

    Hi @Azure Demo

    Please follow the below procedure will helpful to fix your issue. first make sure selfhosted integration runtime installed.

    Step 1: Fulfill the Prerequisites

    Before configuring anything in the Azure portal, you must prepare the environment hosting your SAP HANA landscape:

    1. Set up a Self-hosted Integration Runtime (SHIR): Install the SHIR on an on-premise machine or an Azure Virtual Machine that resides in the same virtual network as your SAP HANA instance.
    2. Install the SAP HANA ODBC Driver: Download the 64-bit SAP HANA Client for Windows from the official SAP Software Download Center. Install this driver on the exact same machine where your SHIR is running.

    Step 2: Create the SAP HANA Linked Service

    Once your infrastructure is ready, configure the service in the Azure Data Factory Studio:

    1. Open your Azure Data Factory Studio.
    2. Navigate to the Manage tab (the wrench icon) on the left sidebar.
    3. Select Linked services under the Connections menu, then click + New.
    4. In the search box, type SAP and choose the SAP HANA connector from the grid. Click Continue.
    5. Configure the following required connection properties: • Name: Give your linked service a recognizable name (e.g., LS_SAPHANA_Source). • Connect via integration runtime: Select the Self-hosted Integration Runtime you configured in Step 1. Do not use the AutoResolveIntegrationRuntime. • Connection String: Provide the necessary details to map your server.
      	• Format: Server=<server>:<port>;UID=<username>;PWD=<password>;
      
      	• Note: The default port is usually 30015 (or 3XX15 where XX represents your SAP instance number).
      
      • Authentication Type: Select Basic or Windows authentication depending on your setup. • Password: It is highly recommended to store your database password securely inside an Azure Key Vault and pull it dynamically rather than hardcoding it in the connection string.
    6. Click Test connection. If it succeeds, click Create to save your new Linked Service.

    Thanks.
