To use the ODBC driver and define a SQL statement to retrieve data from SAP HANA :
1. Launch Control Panel >> System And Security>> Administrative Tools >> ODBC Data Sources.
2. Define either a System DSN or a USER DSN by choosing a tab of your choice, and click on the Add button.
3. Choose the driver as : HDBODBC and then click Finish. (Contact System administrator, if you do not see the aforementioned driver - it likely implies that SAP HANA client is not installed )
4. Enter the Server and Port details and click on Connect.
5. Type the User and password details to connect to the server and click OK. The "Connect Successful" message indicates that the credentials are correct. If this success message is not seen, contact your system administrator for the right credentials.
6. Click OK on all the three dialogs to close Control panel. The DSN has now been defined.
7. Launch Statistica Enterprise Manager and right click on Database Connection and click on "New OLEDB Database connection" ( Or File >> External Data >> Query >> Create from Statistica)
8. Choose the Microsoft OLEDB provider for ODBC drivers. Click Next .

13. Type the SQL Statement or Click on SQL Wizard to build SQL graphically.
14. If you picked SQL Wizard, pick the database and tables involved - drag and drop from the left pane to the right pane and define the query and click on the green triangle to close the query builder dialog and return to Enterprise Manager
15. Enterprise Manager now has the SQL statement defined. Define Access permissions for the data configuration and click on commit on top left hand corner of Enterprise manager.
16. Click on the data configuration and then click on the Explore button to bring back data from SAP HANA into Statistica for further analysis. Alternatively, you may choose to use a workspace with Enterprise Data configuration node and point to the data configuration built in Step 15.
