Guidelines for Importing HANA Schema

This WEVY NOTE aims to provide general guidelines on how to import a HANA schema into the RUN Platform. To perform this process, it is necessary to follow the proper configuration steps and have privileged access to the platform.

1. Definition​

Before starting the import process, some initial steps need to be followed to ensure the configuration is correct and the files are sent efficiently.

2. Privileged Access​

To start, you must access the platform environment with privileged access. This ensures you have the necessary permissions to perform actions on the system.

  • Consult documentation: To access the environment, use the documentation that provides the procedure for this step:
    Click here ➡️ Access Environment

3. Connect to the Configuration Machine​

The next step is to connect to the configuration machine; for this, use the documentation below.

4. File Upload​

There are two methods to send files to the server:

  • Using a link that can be placed in the server’s browser, it is possible to send files to the server, such as databases, add-on installers, etc.

4.2 Direct File Upload​

With privileged access, it is possible to securely upload files directly to the server via the session protocol, as follows:

  • Click on Choose Files.

Direct File Upload

  • Select the desired file; in this case, we will upload a HANA FP2405 database.

Select File

  • Demonstration below:

Demonstration

  • The file will be sent to a temporary area (deleted on logoff).

  • To keep it, move it to the tmp folder or another folder of your choice.

  • After finishing, the file will remain in a temporary area, meaning it will be automatically deleted upon logging off from the environment.

  • If you want the file to be kept, move it to other folders such as tmp and/or another.
[Note]

Once the file is kept, if a Blue/Green Deployment is performed, the files will also be replicated to the application layer of the respective environment.

5. Upload File to HANA​

5.1. Access the default path from the template machine using explorer:​

\\wy-db-hana
  • The folder to be used should always be SHARED_SAP.

shared sap

  • Copy the desired file to the folder mentioned above.

File Copied

  • After copying the file, return to privileged access to enter the database machine.

Database Machine

  • Once authenticated on the database machine, go to the SHARED folder.

  • Perform the process of decompressing the file (zip and/or tar), and apply the necessary permissions.

Decompress

  • Once the file is decompressed, copy the path.

Copy Path

[Note]

It is possible to copy the path from the database machine to the configuration machine.

  • Once the path is copied, open HANA Studio and perform the import of the database(s).
  • If you need to upgrade the database, i.e., if this database is in a lower version than the environment, it is possible to access the installation package used during the setup process at the path below.
