Hi,
I have established a source connection to a HANA database, using "Import" connectivity type and specifying a simple SQL statement to read data from a specific table. The correct table and contents are displayed (in preview), however when I then press the "Load" button I get the following timeout error.
The message "There are pending changes in your queries that haven't been applied" appears at the top of the screen. If I press "Apply Changes" then it attempts to re-process however the same timeout error occurs.
If this is an actual timeout error, is there a way I can extend the timeout value? ...or does it point to an actual connection error somewhere? Note that if I go into "Edit Queries" I can see the query and the correct data shown, ready to load...
Thanks very much for your help!
Todd
I am facing similar problem.
I see the data in query editor but I can't run the report, even if the query returns just one row of data.
Any updates on this topic?
Regards
Hi @ToddFScholes,
You can connect the HAHA database successfully? After research, I find a similar thread, please review it. The connection creation interface wasn't very specific about the need to include a port. Did you add the port when prompted for the "server" express it like this: <servername>.<domain>.<com/net>:<port>?
If you have not, please add the port number and check if it works fine.
Best Regards,
Angelia
Hi Angelia,
Thanks for your response. Yes, I have specified the port, and I am able to connect to the database.
My HANA database is running on my trial SAP Cloud Platform account, and I am connecting to it via SAP Cloud Connector which is running on my laptop. So the server entry I specify is "localhost:35115".
When I select "connect" from this screen, the next screen I am shown is my table with the data - so it's obviously able to talk to the database ok!
It's when I then press "Load", that I get the error shown in my previous post. Is there anywhere that might display some logs to help understand the issue? Or can I increase the timeout value?
Thanks for your help.
Todd
