Custom connector for SAP Advantage Database Server (ADS) utilizes an ODBC connection for executing custom queries and retrieves metadata using specific queries tailored to this data source.
ODBC Driver
Before importing, using the custom connector requires the installation and configuration of the ODBC driver.
We have tested the import using the official Advantage ODBC Driver v12.0 downloaded from the https://me.sap.com/ website (requires logging in with your SAP ME account).
