Access Hana with SOAP

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I would like to access Hana data using SOAP-based web services (from an existing Xcelsius dashboard). In the Hana Academy it was said that this is going to be possible with the XS engine but I cannot find any docs or instructions how to actually make a WS. Can please someone provide some pointers for this?

Cheers,

For the most part you use REST/OData services; not SOAP with SAP HANA.  The only exception there is the XMLA support - which does use SOAP.  However XMLA is generally only used with MDX clients.  Do you in fact want MDX consumption? If so, refer to the developers guide on the sections for xsxmla development artifacts.

Most of the services in HANA are REST/OData.  They can be created with a generic framework (development artifact xsodata) or by custom coding in Server Side JavaScript (xsjs).  You can find lots of materials on both of these topics in detail in the HANA Academy and the SAP HANA Developers' Guide.
