Hi. Welcome to the SAP HANA Academy. My name is Julie.
In this series of videos we're taking a look at the new SAP HANA Express edition.
In this second video of the Sample Project series, we're going to look at doing a little bit more configuration
within our Vmware image and then also connecting to that from our local development environment.
In this case, we'll be using Eclipse with some special SAP HANA tools added in.
The first thing we want to do is open up Eclipse if you have it installed already.
If you don't have it, you will want to go to eclipse.org
and download at least the Mars Edition of eclipse.
You want the "Ide for Java" or "Ide for Java EE developers"
You will also want to make sure that, in your eclipse environment,
you have the special SAP HANA tools installed as well.
To do that, go to the Help menu,
then Install New Software, and then
choose the toolset for the version of eclipse that you're running,
so if you're running mars, you can just copy the hyperlink from here
I'm actually running neon so I can switch to neon and pick up those tools
And then we want the SAP HANA tools.
We're specifically looking for the application Developer edition
Let's click next
I want to accept the license agreement and click finish
That will load in all of the different add-ons for eclipse that we want to have for the SAP HANA developer edition
And we'll need to restart Eclipse, so we'll go ahead and say restart
And now you see that I actually will have additional perspectives available
so if I go to Open Perspective, I now have various SAP HANA tools as well
I have the administrative console, the development console, the modeler, etc
We're actually going to work in the administrative console
and what we want to do is right click
and choose Add system and
then in our first video we actually
created our virtual machine and
We made sure that our system our servers were up and running
so if you haven't done that go and restart your
Virtual machine and make sure that you're logged in in the system
And the machine is running
So the other thing that we did is we wanted to make sure that we had the IP address of the virtual machine
So the hostname is going to be that IP address
Our instance number is going to be 00
we want to make sure that we select the multiple containers,
and system database
Click next. We can now log in using the system user
using the special password
that we created in the last video
We'll click finish.
Now we're actually connected to the SAP HANA system on our virtual machine!
Now if we open it up, we don't have any data or anything in here.
We haven't done any of that yet,
though we have the shell of the various components within SAP HANA
Okay, so if we go back to our install guide
We can edit the host file for our host name, we could turn on this statistics server since we did this server only
and now we actually want to do a few other things while we're in eclipse here...
So the first thing we want to do is we want to look at applying the express edition license key.
The express edition initially is only good for 60 to 90 days.
If I actually want to use it longer than that, then I need to Request a key.
To do ths, I can right click on my system
go to Properties and then go to License and
From the license we want to make sure that we take a note of our hardware key
because we're gonna want to use that to send in our request.
so I will just copy that into a text file for now
So the next thing that I want to do is I want to go to a browser
And go to Sap.com/minisap
and that's going to open up a form to request a Certificate or a license file.
We'll go ahead and fill in our information
Say I agree.
For the system ID - we want to choose the HANA HXE, and
then paste in the hardware key we noted earlier
and click submit
Okay, so our request has been submitted and we'll check our email to receive the key information
It's been a couple minutes, so we can check our email
And here we have a notification of the license key
Attached, we have our license key file. Let's go ahead and download that
And let's go back in and delete the existing license key,
And now we want to install a new license key.
We can browse to the text file we just downloaded
Click open
And we successfully applied the license.
So there we go. In the next set of videos, we'll take a look at doing a little bit more within the HANA studio.
