HIVE CONNECTION FOR UNIVERSES (UNX)

Hello:

We are using linux platform for SAP BO 4.0 sp04 fp3. We are trying to configure hive connection from Information Designer Tool. We have followed the steps describe in the data access guide and we haven´t got success:

• install jar´s for hive 0.7.1 in client and server sides, on connectionserver-install-dir\connectionServer\jdbc\drivers\hive directory

commons-logging-1.0.4.jar

hadoop-0.20.0-core.jar

hive-exec-0.7.1.jar

hive-jdbc-0.7.1.jar

hive-metastore-0.7.1.jar

hive-service-0.7.1.jar

libfb303.jar

log4j-1.2.16.jar

slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar

slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar

• add  connectionserver-install-dir\connectionServer\jdbc\drivers\hive to the PATH var in client and server sides.
• modify hive.sbo file to add lines for each .jar we installed before, in client and server sides:

For instance, in server, we have added the blue text

<DataBase Active="Yes" Name="Apache Hadoop HIVE">

<JDBCDriver>

<ClassPath>

<Path><connectionserver-install-dir>/connectionServer/jdbc/drivers/hive/hive-service-0.7.1.jar</Path>

<Path><connectionserver-install-dir>/connectionServer/jdbc/drivers/hive/hadoop-0.20.0-core.jar</Path> 

<Path><connectionserver-install-dir>/connectionServer/jdbc/drivers/hive/hive-exec-0.7.1.jar</Path>

<Path><connectionserver-install-dir>/connectionServer/jdbc/drivers/hive/hive-jdbc-0.7.1.jar</Path>       

<Path><connectionserver-install-dir>/connectionServer/jdbc/drivers/hive/hive-metastore-0.7.1.jar</Path>

<Path><connectionserver-install-dir>/connectionServer/jdbc/drivers/hive/commons-logging-1.0.4.jar</Path>

<Path><connectionserver-install-dir>/connectionServer/jdbc/drivers/hive/libfb303.jar</Path>  

<Path><connectionserver-install-dir>/connectionServer/jdbc/drivers/hive/log4j-1.2.16.jar</Path>

<Path><connectionserver-install-dir>/connectionServer/jdbc/drivers/hive/slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar</Path>

<Path><connectionserver-install-dir>/connectionServer/jdbc/drivers/hive/slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar</Path>

</ClassPath>

.....

• restart tomcat and all bo servers
  

When we test the connection, we get the error message "Method not supported".

We have found some discussions with similar problems (SAP BO and Hive connectivity using JDBC). After trying to implement the solution described in the link, we are still getting the same error message.

Any help on this issue would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
