This group of requirements relates to the operating systems underlying the SAP system with all its application servers. Datavard products (e.g. Datavard Glue, OutBoard DataTiering) have been developed and tested on in the SUSE Linux environment and Windows Server 2012. However, by design, they are not limited by the choice of an operating system, if the requirements listed in this guide are met.

JDBC Driver

JDBC protocol is used to connect to Snowflake. Snowflake JDBC driver must needs to be manually stored on copied to the operating system and be accessible to the Datavard connector. Download Snowflake JDBC driver.
We recommend storing the drivers in a folder within the connector directorydirectory shared between application servers, organized in sub-folders to directories to avoid possible conflicts .

WARNING: We have detected Snowflake driver version 3.13.8 having a problem properly initializing SSL handshake.
The error message in the JCo log reflecting this is:

Code Block
net.snowflake.client.jdbc.SnowflakeSQLException: JDBC driver encountered communication error. Message: Exception encountered for HTTP request: Unsupported or unrecognized SSL message.

The problem is fixed in the later driver version snow-jdbc-3.13.11.jar.(some customers connect to multiple different platforms/services).

Default directory used to store drivers needed for communication with remote storages/services is:

$ ls -ld /sapmnt/<SID>/global/security/dvd_conn

rwx------ 2 dvqadm sapsys 4096 --- /sapmnt/<SID>/global/security/dvd_conn

Actual Snowflake JDBC driver should be put into dedicated sub-directory, example:

$ ls -ld /sapmnt/<SID>/global/security/dvd_conn/*

drwxr-xr-x 2 dvqadm sapsys 4096 --- /sapmnt/<SID>/global/security/dvd_conn/snowflake

$ ls -l /sapmnt/<SID>/global/security/dvd_conn/snowflake

drwxr-xr-x 2 dvqadm sapsys 4096 --- /sapmnt/<SID>/global/security/dvd_conn/snowflake/snowflake-jdbc-3.12.9.jar

Set its ownership and permissions appropriately to <sid>adm[:sapsys].

Note

We have detected Snowflake driver versions 3.13.x are having a problem properly initializing SSL handshake.
The error message in the JCo log reflecting this is:
net.snowflake.client.jdbc.SnowflakeSQLException: JDBC driver encountered communication error. Message: Exception encountered for HTTP request: Unsupported or unrecognized SSL message.
To avoid this issue, please use tested lower version of the driver: snow-jdbc-3.12.9.jar.
