HANA ODBC Connection

Hi experts,

I tried to use the below commands to form a connection string to HANA database from an Add-On.

Dim conn As DbConnection = Nothing

Dim _DbProviderFactoryObject As DbProviderFactory

Dim connStr As String = "DRIVER={HDBODBC32};UID=SYSTEM;PWD=B1aAdmin;SERVERNODE=192.168.1.99:30015;DATABASE=SYSTEM"

Dim ProviderName As String = "System.Data.Odbc"

_DbProviderFactoryObject = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(ProviderName)

conn = _DbProviderFactoryObject.CreateConnection()

conn.ConnectionString = connStr

conn.Open()

However it returns the following exception.

System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException: ERROR [HY000] [SAP AG][LIBODBCHDB32 DLL][HDBODBC32] Gene

Does anyone have hints on this issue? Do I need to add any reference to the add-on solution in order to make the connection works?

Best regards,
