SAP HANA Connector Considerations
Keep these behaviors in mind when working with the SAP HANA connector.
- This connector can sync up to 10 million rows or 5 GB per object, whichever limit it reaches first.
- It’s an OData-based connector.
- Connection to on-premises SAP HANA is not supported.
- Maximum number of characters in a field is 32,000.
- Maximum number of concurrent data sync runs is 3.
- You can sync data from up to 100 objects in CRM Analytics. This total includes local and external objects.
- Connected object names must start with a letter and contain only letters, digits, or underscores. Object names can’t end with an underscore.
- Only field names with combinations of alphanumeric, dot, underscore, or dash characters are supported. If a connector includes field names that contain other characters, such as spaces or brackets, the sync fails.
- Queries that take longer than 10 minutes to return initial data to CRM Analytics causes a “timeout exceeded” error message. The best practice in this situation is to simplify or segment your queries.
