Free practice for SAP 7.3,7.4. SAP HANA database sites

Hi All,
Please let me know any online free practice for SAP 7.3,7.4. SAP HANA database sites.
Thanks for advance,
Ram.

Hi Ramakrishna,
You can login to SAP support site and download the Trial version of the software which will be available for limited period of time.
As of such there are no sites which will provide you with the system for Hands on because maintaining the same is quite costly.
Do revert in case you need any further details.

Sap hana administration guide for sps07

I want sap hana administration guide for sps07. Can some one share the document if they have already downloaded it earlier ?

Hi Anju,
There is a link to older versions of HANA documentation on this page: SAP HANA Platform – SAP Help Portal Page
In the intro section, see the last line:
Note: The full documentation set for this and older support package stacks of the SAP HANA platform is available on SAP Service Marketplace .
Cheers,
Jody

SAP HANA database is virtual or physical.

SAP HANA database stores data in virtual form or physical form in database ?

No. The processing is not "done on RAM" (sic). The processing is done in the processor.
That's the problem of using the "in memory" terminology.
It is not "in memory processing", it is "in memory storage", and I think that is where your misunderstanding starts.
As an analogy:
The state of the DB systems:
Traditional DB:
Main Storage: Disk <==> Secondary Storage: RAM <==> Processing: CPU
In Memory (HANA):
Secondary Storage: Disk <==> Main Storage: RAM <==> Processing: CPU
That is the reason why HANA is faster: the physical database lives inside the RAM

SAP Kernel update with HANA DATABASE

Dear experts,
I am planning to update the kernel with HANA database. It is my first time that I apply a kernel with HANA and for that reason I want to be sure everything is properly planned. I have updated kernel with Oracle databases and my biggest doubt is if I have to do something in the database, what would it be?
I have looking for any note that help me with a step by step but I couldn't find it. In that order I will ask you based on your own experiences.
Current Kernel is 742 PL28, I am planning to update to PL 101.
I appreciate any comments or suggestions,
Best regards,

Dear Reagan,
As you told, the kernel was applied and I had no issues. I appreciatte your help.

SAP HANA Database Migration

Dear Experts,
We are plan to Migrate our BW server 7.2 ( under oracle 11.2 database ) to HANA database.
BW system Hardware is normal ( not HANA supported hardware ) we purchase separate hardware related to SAP HANA
1. What is the procedure to Migrate oracle database to HANA with Minimum downtime
2. Both ( Current BW system and HANA machine are different Architecture and Physically in different machine then How can we migrate from SUM with DMO
Because are per different document I read, they can not clear that SUM with DMO process running with same server our BW and HANA server is different physical machine
kindly guide me what is the procedure with my scenario where BW and HANA are different physical servers
Regrads

Dear Shahid,
Inorder to migrate BW on AnyDB(Oracle,DB2...) to HANA DB we can use the DMO option which is the part of the SUM tool.
Generally to migrade any SAP Application from AnyDB to AnyDB we have meet the minimum requirements of the Target and perform some task where will need a downtime. These include
1) Unicode Conversation
2) SAP Upgrade of the Application Components in the source system
3) DB Upgrade of the Source system.
4) Dual Stack Split
Once the above are satisfied then we need to perform
1) System Copy Export
2) Copy the exported files to the Target system
3) System Copy Import
This would result in two live system
1) Original source system with source DB
2) New Migrated System with NewDB
Using the DMO option of SUM we perform Upgrade & Migrate in one step, there by having only one downtime. One of the major feature of DMO is that we do not have to upgrade the DB.
The result of the DMO option in SUM is that the DB of the SAP Application is migrated from AnyDB to HANA DB. The SAP application will continue to run on the original host where it was running prior to migration.
DMO does not move the SAP Application to HANA Appliance/Hardware.
The below links provide the complete information required for using DMO option of SUM Tool
SAP First Guidance - Using the DMO Option to Migrate BW on HANA
Hope that gives some insight regarding the Migration using DMO.

Arshad

Updating SAP-HR database(Oracle) directly

Hi All,
Please let me know the pros and cons of updating the SAP-HR infotypes (database tables directly in oracle through backgound). Can the user licensing cost can be reduced with this Approach.?
Regards,
J.S

Hi Dirk,
Thanks for your reply. "You can easily get access at table level by using it as source in a dataflow. This works fine for extracting data from a single table. " I do not have experience on DS 4.2. Does the table refer to SAP Dictionary table or data base table? As I know, there is a RFC since DS 4.1. But it still extracts data from SAP ERP application table (first sap application connection, not database). Someone told me it is possible extracting data directly from database table on DS 4.2. Just wonder about it. Can you clear it for me? Thanks.

SAP HANA Current Revision and how to update

Hi All,
I would like to know how we can check the current HANA IMDB server revision version, are there are specific Linux commands to check the revision on the HANA IMDB server? Also I would like to take your inputs to learn how to update the revision for HANA server. Can this be done using the HANA unified installer?
Thanks for the help.
Thanks and Regards,
Archana

Hi Vitaliy,
Thanks for the inputs, thats very helpful. The HDB version command gives the HANA version and revision details. Currently we are on HANA 1.0 SP3 Revision 20 and looking forward to upgrade to Revision 21.
Thanks for the link on the upgrade guides, I had read through it previoulsy but have some questions.
The SAP Note u201C1653292 - SAP HANA appliance: Revision 21 of SAP HANA databaseu201D mentions:
u2022 For the installation and update procedure of the SAP HANA appliance software and its core components (incl. SAP HANA database), see the SAP HANA Automated Update Guide https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000604952011
I would like to know if the only way to update the HANA revision from 20 to 21, is to follow the steps in the HANA automated update guide and set up the components for automated update, then do a revision update? Is there a manual way to do it, but none of the HANA guides mentions how to manually download a specific revision package from SAP service maket place and update the revision version. Please let me know if I missed any guide that talks about this?
Thanks for the help.
Thanks and Regards,
Archana Kuppuswamy

SAP HANA rev 82 update using hdblcmgui or LCM in studio?

Hi All,
I am updating sap hana to revision 82 from revisoin 81. SAP has suggested to use hdblcmgui for update and LCM in studio is depricated from SPS8.
Using hdblcmgui I dont see an option to upgrade.
SAP displays a note on LCM, suggesting hdblcm, but the update is option is not disabled.
Can I continue to update using LCM or how to upgrade using hdblcmgui?
Please suggest
Regards,
Raj

Hi Stanimir,
Yes the IP associated in AWS console was still the same.Now I've terminated the instance since it was halting our development activity.We are using the trail version of HANA rev 72, at any point of time we can't bring in more than one instance through CAL so we have terminated the corrupted instance and recreated a new instance to proceed further.
But this is really strange behaviour and curious to know, if some else has faced this problem. Unfortunately i couldn't hold the corrupted instance to debug further.
Thanks.
Siva.

Install of SAP HANA Studio Dev Ed v1.00.80 fails with "Could not create the Java Virtual Machine"

Hello,
Scope: JVM error during initial install of SAP HANA Studio Developer Edition v1.00.80, Win86/32bit
Source: installation files pulled from HANA Studio tab at https://hanadeveditionsapicl.hana.ondemand.com/hanadevedition/, which is a link from the main HANA site of http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/hana. zip folder: "sap_hana_win32_studio_rev80"
Targeted O/S: Windows 7, 32-bit, local Java is SE 7, update 67.   Java environment has been confirmed via checks provided at http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Actions taken:
Attempted to update the installation's eclipse.ini file by reducing the -Xmx value; see details below.
Read thru postings such as http://scn.sap.com/thread/3390626 and the threads it recommended.
Checked OSS (ie Note 1859686 - HANA Studio does not start)
Description of installation error:
Shortly after executing "hdbinst", it fails with the error "Could not create the Java Virtual Machine". I've verified that there is nearly 3G of memory free. What I did notice, as shown in the attached files, is that Eclipse is part of this installation and it's pre-loaded with the "eclipse.ini". I firmly believe the solution could be to reduce parameter "-Xmx1024m" to "-Xmx512m" but it's a catch-22 because even after updating eclipse.ini (in installation folder C:\Program Files\SAP\hdbstudio\tmp_p2director2014.08.13_13.36.44\director), the install program requires that the "hdbstudio" folder to be empty upon restarting it.
Since the installation is basically a package with a lot of .jar files, there is no eclipse.ini file available in the source install folder; otherwise, updating it there would be the easiest solution if that option were available. The file is only available in the targeted deployment folder above.
If you have encountered this same error and were able to resolve it, I would be grateful to know of your solution. Thanks very much.
FYI: the HANA Client installed with no issues.

FYI: the images below reflect the sequence of images produced during the installation.
after clicking OK above, the screen below gets updated (see the "is not empty" msg).
Below is the eclipse.ini file located in the deployed/target folder:
Message was edited by: Jim Cleek
FYI: Using information from the SAP HANA Database - Studio Installation and Update Guide, I tried to override the installation's use of its eclipse.ini file by passing my own modified version (with "-Xmx512m") of that file that was placed in a separate folder. The cmd used via DOS window was "hdbsetup.exe -a studio --configfile=C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\eclipse.ini" and even though it successfully launched the SAP HANA Lifecycle Management gui, it failed on the first step with the same JVM create error as above because it appears to have used its own eclipse.ini file, which has "-Xmx1024m".

Update: a message was opened with SAP but unfortunately they could not provide a resolution for this particular scenario. They admitted that the eclipse.ini file cannot be updated since it is bundled as part of the installation package. One point to make that I did not make before was that this was being attempted on an Oracle VirtualBox (4.3.10); the SAP HANA contact said he assumed that SAP has not tested this particular scenario, thus it could not be supported.
Resolution: the end result was to abort trying to install SAP HANA Client and Studio on the Oracle VirtualBox but to install it locally on my own desktop, which runs on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit with 8G of memory. The SAP HANA files below were downloaded, extracted and installed successfully in the order shown.
FYI: the Studio installation detected that a 64-bit version of Java was not installed so I installed that and then adjusted the User environmental variable JAVA_HOME to point to that new path, leaving the System variable still pointing to the pre-existing 32-bit Java path.

Benefits/ Limitations when we use SAP HANA Extended and Standard products.

Hi All,
We are going to purchase SAP HANA media. Please let me know what are the benefits/ limitations when we use SAP HANA Extended and Standard products.
Thanks in Advance,
Vishall

Hello,
please check Master Guide (page 9 - chapter 1.6 Software Components)
https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000604552011
There you can find edition comparison and detailed description.
To extract the short summary:
Platform edition = SAP HANA Database + Studio + Client + Host Agent + Information Composer
Enterprise edition = (Platform edition) + LT Replication Add-on (SLT) + LT Replication Server (SLT) + SAP BO Data Services
Enterprise extended edition = (Enterprise edition) + Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise + Sybase Replication Server + Sybase Replication Server Agent + SAP HANA load controller
It depends on what licenses you already have and how do you intends to use HANA.
Platform edition = ETL via BO Data Services (you already have license for BO Data Services)
Enterprise edition = SLT and/or BO Data Services (including licenses)
Enterprise extended edition = all replication technologies
