SAP ASE connection
To access your data in SAP ASE, create a connection asset for it.
SAP ASE is a relational model database server. SAP ASE was formerly Sybase.
Supported versions
SAP Sybase ASE 11.5+, 16.0+
Create a connection to SAP ASE
To create the connection asset, you need these connection details:
- Database name You don't have to specify the database. With no database specified, you can import metadata from every database that is available for that connection.
- Hostname or IP address
- Port number
- Username and password
- SSL certificate If required by the database server.
For Private connectivity, to connect to a database that is not externalized to the internet (for example, behind a firewall), you must set up a secure connection.
Choose the method for creating a connection based on where you are in the platform
- In a project
- Click Assets > New asset > Connect to a data source. See Adding a connection to a project.
- In a catalog
- Click Add to catalog > Connection. See Adding a connection asset to a catalog.
- In a deployment space
- Click Import assets > Data access > Connection. See Adding data assets to a deployment space.
- In the Platform assets catalog
- Click New connection. See Adding platform connections.
Next step: Add data assets from the connection
