Datavard connector uses a directory dedicated to its configuration files:

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

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

The folder is used to store drivers and is shared among SAP application servers. Set the ownership and permissions appropriately to <sid>adm.

...

We recommend storing the drivers in a folder within the connector directory, organized in sub-folders to avoid possible conflicts.

$ 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
