Bring the data from Azure DataBricks (ADB) to SAP ABAP Program

[_Zen]

Hi, 

I would need to know how to bring the data from Azure Data bricks (ADB) to SAP ABAP Program, like 

How to connect SAP to ADB?
How to access ADB from SAP?
Connection Type and Parameters

i come across info about bringing data from HANA DB to ADB. But, not bringing the data from Azure Data bricks (ADB) to SAP ABAP Program.

Thank you, Zen

Have any one used SAP SDI File Adopter method option?

Have you considered the ABAP SDK for Azure? It has accelerator code for your scenario.

I believe you will find the REST API descriptions here.

Cheers Martin

Hi Martin, I read a bit about ABAP SDK for Azure, but it seems one way integration to Azure i.e., Data Transfer from SAP to AZure only., not the other way. Is the REST API independent suggestion or related to ABAP SDK for Azure. Have you used ABAP SDK for Azure before? Thank you!

Yes, the accelerator code on the ABAP SDK is aimed at connecting to Azure services for pull based approaches. That was the first request on your list. Connection direction does not mean you cannot get the data. The SDK is pull-oriented but of course its code can be used for push-based too. You may connect to ADB REST api for instance and handle Managed Identities, Entra ID authentication flows etc out-of-the-box from ABAP.

Push based approaches require a completely different stack with transformations and coding your receiver on ABAP. And we haven't started discussing retry logic and mass data movement yet 😄 at that point a thread of comments is no longer suitable to arrive at a sustainable solution.
