Installing SAP HANA support

GeoServer has no built-in support for SAP HANA. You can enable SAP HANA support by adding the HANA GeoTools module and the HANA JDBC driver to your GeoServer installation.

Installing the HANA GeoTools module

Identify the GeoTools version your GeoServer installation is using by navigating to the webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/ folder in your GeoServer installation and locating the file gt-jdbc-<version>.jar as shown in the image below. In the example below the GeoServer version is 22.0.

Finding the GeoTools version

Download the GeoTools archive with the version used by GeoServer from the GeoTools website. You need the geotools-<version>-bin.zip file. Copy the gt-jdbc-hana-<version>.jar file to the webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/ folder of your GeoServer installation.
