Unable to connect to SAP Table Application Server

Hi FrancescoPwc ,
Thank you again for sharing your experience.You have been to spend that much time trying to find out the connector is not available yet. Your feedback truly helps us understand where the gaps are.
I would also recommend sharing this in the Fabric Ideas forum. It is a great way to bring more visibility to the issue, and where others vote on it, it helps push the topic up in priority .
And if you do find a workaround that fits your setup, we would really appreciate it if you could share it here too .I am sure it would help others facing the same challenge.
Thank you for your cooperation.Have a great day!
Hi Microsoft Support team,
Thank you for confirming that the SAP Table connector is not yet supported in Data Factory for Fabric and currently exists only in Azure Data Factory. However, the connector still appears in the Fabric Data Factory copy‑data wizard and allows us to enter credentials before failing with the “internal error” shown above.
Expectation gap – Because the connector is visible in Fabric’s UI, we assumed it was in General Availability or at least Public Preview for Fabric. The official connector‑parity table, though, lists SAP Table as unsupported (“N”) in Fabric while showing it as available in ADF (✓/-). Microsoft Learn
Current impact – The misleading presence of the connector caused avoidable troubleshooting effort on our side (gateway checks, NCo libraries, SAP role reviews, etc.) before we learned that the feature itself is not yet enabled.
Questions
Why is the SAP Table connector surfaced in the Fabric UI if it is not yet functional?
What is the planned roadmap or ETA for SAP Table support in Fabric Data Factory?
Could the documentation and/or UI be updated to indicate “coming soon” (similar to other preview labels) so that customers can plan integrations accordingly?
Any visibility you can provide on status and timelines would help us decide whether to wait for native support or to invest in the suggested work‑arounds (SAP HANA, ODBC, or staging through Azure Data Factory).
Thanks in advance for the clarification.
Best,
Bryan
I couldn't have explained it better! Same has been for us, many hours if not days trying to make it work with involvment on multiple sides (infra, SAP, Fabric teams). It should have been clear from the beginning that the connector wasn't yet available... Thanks
