To include remote data sources in SAP Datasphere, you need to create a connection to the external system and then import or access remote tables from that source.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

✅ Step 1: Go to Connections in SAP Datasphere

  1. Log in to your SAP Datasphere tenant.
  2. In the left navigation pane, go to “Connections.”
  3. Click “Create” to add a new connection.

✅ Step 2: Choose the Connection Type

  • Select the type of remote source you want to connect, such as: SAP HANA SAP BW/4HANA SAP S/4HANA Google BigQuery Snowflake Oracle, SQL Server, etc.

Each source has its own connector; pick the correct one based on your system.

✅ Step 3: Enter Connection Details

  • Provide: Connection name Host URL or IP Port Authentication method (User/password, SAML, OAuth, etc.) Technical user credentials

✅ Step 4: Save and Test the Connection

  • Click “Save & Test.”
  • If it shows "Connection successful", the source is ready to use.

✅ Step 5: Import or Access Remote Tables

  1. Go to the Data Builder.
  2. Choose “New Graphical View” or “New Entity”.
  3. Click “Sources” and navigate to the connection you created.
  4. Browse the available tables or views.
  5. Drag and drop the remote tables into your data model.

You can choose virtual tables (for live/federated access) or persisted tables (for loading data into Datasphere).

🔁 Optional: Create Data Flows (ETL)

If you want to copy data from remote sources (not just virtual access):

  • Use the Data Flow tool in Datasphere to define data pipelines.
  • Map source to target tables.
  • Schedule or trigger data loads.

🔒 Notes:

  • Ensure network access is allowed (VPN/firewall settings).
  • Use Data Provisioning Agent if your source is on-premise.
  • Follow naming conventions and governance rules for clarity.
