This month, we’ve introduced an SAP ODP Connector for Qlik Cloud Data Integration.
All of these connectors provide many benefits to SAP users vs. previous, existing SAP connectors including:
Simplified access to CDS Views and HANA Views
Access to Extractors, without the use of standalone network service
Usable with an SAP Runtime license
Does not require any separate Qlik SAP Connector license
No need for an SAP transport installation, particularly useful with an SAP managed cloud system
Up to 25% faster performance vs. Qlik’s existing SAP connectors

Additional SAP HANA Support
In addition to the SAP HANA connector, Qlik Cloud Data Integration now includes support for SAP HANA as the backend database for the SAP Application connector. This release also provides Add Business Group Management capabilities. Business groups allow SAP users to create groups of tables that are recognized by the Data Movement gateway, providing additional context when selecting data artifacts to be replicated.
The Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access eliminates the need to open inbound firewall ports by operating behind your organization’s firewall. It allows Qlik Sense SaaS applications to securely access behind-the-firewall data, over a strictly outbound, encrypted, and mutually authenticated connection.
This month we released a new version of the gateway that includes the SAP ODP connector as an additional option to access an on-premises SAP system.
It could be pure Qlik Sense via Load Script. It could be QCDI. It could be Talend. To be honest - it could be whatever 🙂 Just need to have option to get data from MS Dynamics 365 (ERP not CRM) into Qlik.
