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
- Log in to your SAP Datasphere tenant.
- In the left navigation pane, go to “Connections.”
- 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
- Go to the Data Builder.
- Choose “New Graphical View” or “New Entity”.
- Click “Sources” and navigate to the connection you created.
- Browse the available tables or views.
- 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.
