How ABAP report can recognize if SAP HANA is underlying database?

[Former Member]

HI,

I remember that some FM do the job but unfortunately I forgot where I sow it and its name

Can any anyone recall its name? Or maybe there is another way to recognize SAP HANA inside ABAP report?

Hi,

on the one hand side, in all releases there is the system field sy-db which can be used to check for the value 'HDB'.

In ABAP 7.4, there is in addition the class CL_DB_SYS (SAP_BASIS) which can be also used for detecting SAP HANA. This has the advantage to benefit from where-used lists for detecting the coding relying on such a distinction.

Thanks a lot Eric,

A you can see, sometimes the head flying in the sky can overlook the solution lying just a step away (sy-dbsys)

Exactly, SY-DBSYS does the trick.

One can use RFC_SYSTEM_INFO to check the DB via RFC. The value we are interested in is RFCSI_EXPORT-RFCDBSYS = HDB.

Maybe you are interested in SAP HANA as the underlying database because you want to use one of its features. Then the class CL_ABAP_DBFEATURES should be used to check whether a particular feature is available or not.
