Install from npm or install from Manage Pallete in Node-RED

cd $HOME/.node-red/
npm install node-red-contrib-sap-hana

Do not forget to edit /etc/hosts for default hxehost replacing X.Y or whole IP address if you're using hxehost as hostname

192.168.X.Y hxehost

Usage

This package contains one node to run a sql command, call a procedure or a select statement for SAP HANA database using the office @sap/hana-client Node.JS driver.

Example flows here :

1. `sap_hana_config` node

Create a new SAP HANA user from SAP Hana Studio and you'll get a schema with the same name created by the system.

Use this new user and all the content will be saved in his schema as he's the owner.

Node config parameters :

Database host name
Database host port
User name to access the database
Password for the user name above

2. `run_query` node

To run a command or a query input to saphana node the folowing message :

msg.topic = "SQL"; // or lower case 'sql'
msg.payload = "SELECT * FROM DUMMY";
return msg;

Also it works with an array of queries

msg.topic = "SQL"; // or lower case 'sql'
msg.payload = [
	'SELECT * FROM DUMMY', 
	'INDERT INTO "table_name" ("col1", "col2") VALUES (\'val1\', \'val2\')'
];
return msg;

The returned data will be stored in msg.payload and it will contain the @sap/hana-client response.

As an OK response you'll receive on the run_query response:

{
	topic : "RESULT_IN_PAYLOAD",
	payload : [{"DUMMY":"X"}];
}

Error response example :

{
	topic : "ERROR",
	payload : {
	
	};
}

3. `table_monitor` node

Node config parameters :

query to run at each iteration with setInterval function
interval delay time (in seconds)

At each interval Error response example :

{
	"topic":"RESPONSE_IN_PAYLOAD",
	"payload":{
		"lastCount":1,
		"newCount":1,
		"trigger":false
	}
}

4. `table_insert` node

For input : forward from an http-in node or from another node type an array of objects

Node config parameters :

Table Name
Columns (property names from the js objects found in array) to be used in the SQL INSERt query

Other Informations

Currently, only SAP HANA Express has been tested.
