What is SAP HANA?

How to connect your SAP HANA account to Zoho Flow

1. Select the required trigger or action. If you select a trigger, click Next.
   
2. If there are no existing SAP HANA connections in your account, click Connect. Otherwise, click New.
   Alternatively, you can create a new connection by navigating to Settings, then Connections. Click Create connection and choose SAP HANA.
3. Enter a connection name.
   
4. Check the App is installed on-premises box if you’re using the on-prem version of SAP HANA. Leave it unchecked for the cloud version or if your account is hosted publicly.
   Note: For a cloud database, you need to allow-list Zoho Flow’s IP addresses in your inbound rule.
5. For an on-prem setup, choose an on-prem agent from the dropdown to create a Zoho Flow connection with your local machine. If you don’t already have an agent installed, click New.

   Password: Your SAP HANA password
   Schema: The name of the SAP HANA schema that you want to access
   Enable SSL?: The option to use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for encrypted communication between the SAP HANA client and server.

Triggers and actions available in Zoho Flow

Triggers 

Row added

1. Trigger column: Select a unique column with incremental values—ideally timestamp columns like created_at, updated_at, published_at, etc. By default, the result is sorted in ascending order, and the limit is 100.
   
2. Where condition: Use a Where condition to filter the rows. Zoho Flow will retrieve only rows added after the last execution of the flow, so you receive only the latest updates that satisfy the Where condition.
   

Fetch row

This action is useful for scenarios where you need to access specific data based on a primary or unique key. For example, if you have an order number and want to retrieve all details of that order, you can use this action to fetch the row and perform further actions, like sending order confirmation emails.

Note: The maximum number of records that can be fetched in a single execution is 100.

1. Unique key: A primary key or column with a unique constraint to deduplicate rows, with an indexed column giving better results
   
2. Unique key – Value: The value of the unique key
   
3. Additional key: Another optional column used as an additional key for deduplication
   
4. Additional key – Value: The value of the additional key
