Hi Tobias: I could really use your help connecting HANA to SQL Server for a personal project for which I have very little money. Basically I want to run HANA on Amazon AWS for couple of hours only to save money. So here is what I hope to achieve. I have live data streaming into an SQL server at all times. I want to run HANA on Amazon AWS for couple of hours a day. During which I want to pull Deltas (after doing the initial first load) on demand (not scheduled) from SQL server and then run my analytic reports and then close the AWS session. How can I create a direct delta setup between my local MS SQL server to pass data into HANA on AWS?
I was able to achieve this but in a very difficult way. I downloaded the 60gb HANA on Suse Linux installation from SAP and installed it on an old Dell R910 server. Then I installed trial version of BOBJ which allowed me to run CMS server and BODS 4.0. Thru this I was able to create a connection between my sql server and HANA and setup initial load and deltas on demand. Since the trial versions were only good for month i had to shut it down but it worked and I was able to do my analysis on HANA and it was fantastic. But I cannot afford to buy BOBJ licenses etc so I'm really hoping there's an easier and affordable solution out there.
Can anyone help? I've posted this question on numerous places and I haven't been able to find any solution. I'm very new and self taught on HANA and haven't touched it now for 6 months.
