Prerequisite to learn SAP HANA

Introduction To SAP HANA Database- For Beginners

Get Access to SAP HANA Database

An insight into SAP HANA Architecture

The SAP HANA Studio at a glance:


o HANA Studio is an Eclipse-based, integrated development environment (IDE)
that is used to develop artifacts in a HANA server.
o It enables technical users to manage the SAP HANA database, to create and
manage user authorizations, to create new or modify existing models of data
etc.
o It is a client tool, which can be used to access local or remote HANA system.

Supported Platforms:

The SAP HANA studio runs on the Eclipse platform 3.6. We can use the SAP HANA studio
on the following platforms:
o Microsoft Windows x32 and x64 versions of: Windows XP, Windows Vista,
Windows 7
o SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES 11: x86 64-bit version
Note: For Mac OS, HANA studio is available but there is no HANA client for that.
System Requirements:
Java JRE 1.6 or 1.7 must be installed to run the SAP HANA studio. The Java runtime must be
specified in the PATH variable. Make sure to choose the correct Java variant for installation
of SAP HANA studio:
o For a 32-bit installation, choose a 32-bit Java variant.
o For a 64-bit installation, choose a 64-bit Java variant.

HANA Client:
HANA Client is the piece of software which enables you to connect any other entity,
including Non-Native applications to a HANA server. This "other" entity can be, say, an NW
Application Server, an IIS server etc.
The HANA Client installation also provides JDBC, ODBC drivers. This enables applications
written in .Net, Java etc. to connect to a HANA server, and use the server as a remote
database. So, consider client as the primary connection enabler to HANA server.
HANA Client is installed separately from the HANA studio.
Installation Paths:
If we do not specify an Installation Path during installation, the following default values
apply:
o Microsoft Windows 32-bit -> C:\Program Files\sap\hdbstudio
o Microsoft Windows 64-bit -> C:\Program Files\sap\hdbstudio
o Microsoft Windows 32-bit (x86) -> C:\Program Files (x86)\sap\hdbstudio

o Linux x86, 64-bit -> /usr/sap/hdbstudio

SAP HANA Cloud Platform Trial Instance:
In previous article SAP HANA Cloud Platform Overview we explained the basic features and
architecture of SAP HANA Cloud Platform.
In this article we will learn how to create your free trial account on SAP HANA Cloud and
how to configure development tools.
SAP HANA Cloud Platform Trial Instance:
SAP provides a trial instance of HANA Cloud. This can be used for learning purpose. There
are 2 types of registrations possible in this trial instance.

If you have an SAP ID, SCN ID or SMP user:


1. Go to SAP HANA Cloud Platform Landing Page.
2.

Click Log On and sign in with your SAP ID or SCN credentials.

Limitations on SAP HANA Trial Instance:


A trial SAP HANA instance provides you with a shared database instance, allowing you to
work with SAP HANA in a managed environment. Due to restrictions in place to ensure user
and data isolation, developers have limited access rights. For instance, certain system-wide or
administrative features are not available. SAP provides limited support and service for trial
instance.
However, the trial instance is sufficient for learning purpose.
Important points on SAP HANA Cloud Platform Cockpit:
Account Dashboard:
Select Account Dashboard from the left menu. This will show the Display Name and
Account ID.
Account ID will be further used to connect HANA Cloud system from HANA Studio.

Resources:
Select Resources from left menu. This shows the details of resources assigned to this
account. For example by default we are provided with 1.02 GB disk space.

HANA Instance:

Select HANA Instance from left menu. This shows all the HANA instance in this cloud.
First time you will get a message like:
You do not have any HANA XS applications yet.
You can create one trial SAP HANA instance per account. A trial instance is equivalent to a
database schema with the database property HANA XS. Trial instances are also listed
under Databases & Schemas in the cockpit.
Create a trial SAP HANA Instance:
As explained above, we need a trial SAP HANA instance to start development.
Steps to create a trial HANA instance:
1. Select HANA Instances from left side.
2. click New Trial Instance.
3. Enter instance name and click on Save.

Add an HANA System in SAP HANA Studio:


In order to connect to a SAP HANA system we need to know the Server Host ID and the
Instance Number. Also we need a Username & Password combination to connect to the
instance. The left side Navigator space shows all the HANA system added to the SAP HANA
Studio.
Steps to add new HANA system:

1. Right click in the Navigator space and click on Add System

2. Enter HANA system details, i.e. the Hostname & Instance Number and click
Next.

3. Enter the database username & password to connect to the SAP HANA
database. Click on Next and then Finish.

4. The SAP HANA system now appears in the Navigator.
