Contribution of HANA DB support

[dzahariev]

Hello,
For one of our projects we need to run Activiti on top of HANA database (SAP), but found it is not supported.
We prepare a change that enables Activiti to run on HANA and now look for possible options to contribute this change. Unfortunately the link in FAQ section is not working anymore:
http://activiti.org/faq.html#HowToBecomeAContributor
(How to become a contributor?)http://docs.codehaus.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=163872771

We will propose a change in GitHub, but do we need to do anything else in advance?

Best regards,
Dobri

Hi,
You have to do the change and make a PR in github.
Creating some tests for your changes will be very useful.

I know very little of SAP Hana DB. How much does it differ from regular databases?
Since we've switched to Github, the way contributions work is via regular Github Pull Requests.

Thank you for this information.
We are now stabilising the tests and will propose a Pull Request when we are ready.

Best regards,
Dobri

Sweet. Looking forward to the pull request.

Hi all,

I am also interested in the support for HANA in Activiti. Any updates on this topic ? ‌ were you able to stabilise the tests and propose a PR ? 

Best regards,

Hello Mihail,

We change the project and abandon this task. Sorry, but you should wait for HANA support to came officially from SAP. 

Best regards,

Dobri
