ERROR: "[SAP AG][LIBODBCHDB SO][HDBODBC] Communication link failure;


Solution
Make sure that the connection string for relational ODBC connection in Workflow Manager and data source name in odbc.ini file are exactly the same.

Finally, you can refer to the following document to connect to SAP HANA in Power BI Desktop.

Connect to sap HANA Database from Microsoft power BI(Business Intelligence)

Connect to an SAP HANA database from Power Query Desktop
