Prophecy supports direct integration with SAP HANA, allowing you to read from and write to the database as part of your data pipelines. This page explains how to configure the connection, what permissions are required, and how Hana connections are managed and shared within your team.
Prerequisites
To connect Prophecy to SAP HANA, you need:
- Database credentials: Prophecy uses the credentials you provide to authenticate your session and authorize all read and write operations during pipeline execution.
- User permissions: Your SAP HANA account must have the required object privileges to read from and write to the database.
- Network setup: A PrivateLink connection between the Prophecy network and your SAP HANA network. Contact Prophecy support for help setting up PrivateLink.

Sharing connections within teams
Connections in Prophecy are stored within fabrics, which are assigned to specific teams. Once a Hana connection is added to a fabric, all team members who have access to the fabric can use the connection in their projects. No additional authentication is required—team members automatically inherit the access and permissions of the stored connection credentials.
Be mindful of the access level granted by the stored credentials. Anyone on the team will have the same permissions—including access to sensitive data if allowed.To manage this securely, consider creating a dedicated fabric and team for high-sensitivity connections. This way, only approved users have access to those credentials.
