SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) is a component of the MS SQL Server which can be utilized for various data migration tasks. This blog provides the step by step process with screenshots to implement a connection between SAP HANA and MS SSIS to perform data transfer.

Select SAP HANA as the data source.
Provide the HANA server details.
If the connection is successful, we will be able to view the HANA schemas in Visual Studio.
3. Create a destination table in HANA database using HANA studio under the desired schema.
Sample table: PRODUCTS
Columns: MATNR, SPRAS, MAKTX, MAKTG
4. Verify whether the table can be accessed from Visual Studio.
5. Create a new SSIS project to load data from a csv file to HANA database.
