Ques:
During a project, you are unable to access data from a third-party PostgreSQL database even though the credentials are correct. Which SAP Datasphere component helps troubleshoot and manage such connections?
Ans:
If we are unable to access the data from the third-party database in SAP Datasphere, we can use the key component that helps with troubleshooting or managing such connections:
DP Agent (Data Provisioning Agent)
How DP Agent helps:
– It acts as a gateway. It acts as a gateway, i.e, it is required to connect both on-premise and cloud databases to SAP Datasphere. It helps with secure and outbound communications.
– We can manage remote connections, such as for SDI or SDA, using dpa GENT.
– DP Agent also provides logs and the status of the connections. We can check whether the agent is registered or active in the datasphere.
Thus, using DP Agent, we can access the third-party PostgreSQL database even though the credentials are also incorrect.
