Is it possible to save HANA Credentials, when creating connection within SAP Analytics Cloud (formerly known as SAP BusinessObjects Cloud / BOC)?

• SAP Analytics Cloud 2017.8 onwards
• HANA dabasase

1. Login to SAC
2. Create a connection to SAP HANA
3. Try to save HANA credentials within connection

This is currently a limitation. Options to save credentials in Live Connections to HANA (on premise) is currently not available.

Credentials to HANA can be saved when creating Live connections to HANA on SAP Cloud Platform only. See SAP User Guide here

Additionally, for On-Premise HANA datasources, you can use the following authentication types;
