SAP on Power

IBM Power servers are purpose built for data-intensive applications such as SAP HANA and S/4HANA that require large amounts of in-memory computing but still let you maintain the high availability and flexibility required for your hybrid cloud.

watsonx.ai Integration with SAP S/4HANA® on IBM Power Virtual Server (1/6): Integrate watsonx.ai with S/4HANA® on PowerVS

By Thorsten Hesemeyer posted 9 days ago

  

What if you could engage in a natural language dialogue with your SAP S/4HANA® data — securely hosted on IBM® Power® Virtual Server? With IBM watsonx.ai®, OData, and IBM Satellite Connector Agents, you can!

High-Level Solution Outline

In this blog series, we’ll show you how to enable IBM watsonx services to securely access data from an SAP S/4HANA server that runs in the IBM Power Virtual Server environment.

High-level solution outline

The setup created in this blog post series consists of an SAP S/4HANA application server together with the SAP HANA® database server and an IBM satellite connector agent in one PowerVS workspace. One or in productive environments multiple satellite connector agents establish the data connection between systems in PowerVS and the IBM watsonx services. For SAP S/4HANA data queries are done using the OData service. All steps required for this setup are described in this series.

Let’s dive in….
