Hello and welcome to the SAP HANA Academy.
The topic of this video tutorial series is SAP HANA platform Installation and Update
and in this video we will discuss where and how to download the SAP HANA software.
Hi, I am Denys van Kempen.
To download SAP software, you can go to the central location, the SAP Software Download Center
on support.sap.com/swdc.
Here you can find both the main releases,
for HANA these are called support package stacks, SPS in short,
here under Installations & Upgrades,
but also the intermediate revisions, here under Support Packages and Patches.
It does not really matter which link you click, they both open the Software Downloads and
here in the header we can switch from installations and upgrades to support packages & patches.
Navigation works the same way.
Then, you can either select by alphabetical index (A-Z) or by Category.
Again, no big difference.
Let’s go by category first, SAP In-Memory (SAP HANA).
Under Add-Ons, we find software, components, that are powered by HANA, like SAP HANA Analytics,
Smart Business, Rules Framework, there are lot of them.
Under the Enterprise edition, additional components, we find SAP Data Services and SAP Replication Server,
both licensed separately, and under Vora, the in-memory big data solution.
For HANA, select HANA platform edition.
For the free SAP HANA, express edition, by the way, you have to go to the developer zone
on sap.com, not here on software downloads, I will show you that in a minute.
Under platform editions, another list.
Why?
Well, originally, the first list showed us the different editions.
Here we have the different options.
However, editions and options tend to change a bit over time.
For the latest update, see my blog on this topic.
Here, I explain what’s-in-the-box for the platform and for the enterprise edition today.
For example, we have the SAP Enterprise Architecture Designer, edition for SAP HANA, we have data
warehousing foundation, dynamic tiering, remote data sync,
smart data integration and streaming analytics
If you not familiar with these technologies, you might want to check the blog.
Again, select SAP HANA platform edition.
Then we get to choose between HANA 1.0, pointing to the SPS 12 release,
and HANA 2.0, SPS 01, 02 and 03.
Installation
And here we have our list.
The version is in the name, SPS03 revision 30.
You can also look at the release date.
If we return Home to the SAP ONE Support Launchpad and again open Software Downloads for On Premise.
This time, select by alphabetical index (A-Z).
We can first select SAP In-Memory for the editions list and then options list, we just saw
or scroll down a bit and get to the platform edition directly.
HANA 2.0
Installation
and here we have our list again.
We have SPS 03 for 64-bit Intel and for IBM Power, then SPS 02 and SPS 01 for both architectures
and also the download for SAP HANA cockpit.
Select them, the total download is about 14 GB and is split in 4, it is a self-extracting
zipped bundle using WinRAR: one exe, executable and 3 rar files,
add them to the download basket
and here we have our basket.
You could click the link and download the parts one-by-one.
Probably easier is to use the Download Manager.
Click the button to go back to Software Downloads, so you can add the download manager to your
basket as well or download it directly.
It is a Java application, so it runs on any platform.
Here, I am connected to a Windows computer.
As of March 2018, you can use the SAP ONE Support Portal Launchpad password for the
Download Manager, this used to be a different one.
Make sure to change the server address from service.sap.com to tech.support.sap.com,
your S-number and the Support Portal password.
Then, you can select to download each individual part or download all of them together.
OK - Before we wrap up
should you find yourself getting lost on the download center,
there is another path that you might find usefu l.
The SAP Product Availability Matrix, PAM in short, on support.sap.com/pam.
The page provides some background information.
Click the Access the Product Availability Matrix button.
This will open PAM.
You can pin products as favorites, there is a last viewed section, you can also, very
easily, just search for it.
SAP HANA plaftorm edtion 2.0.
Select the link.
And here we have, on a single page, all the resources you need when installing SAP HANA,
the road map, release plan, links to documentation, and so on, but also, and that’s why I am
showing it here, a tab with links to the download center.
And here we have a direct path to the major release, the SPS, and the intermediate revisions,
under support packages.
Just select the link and we get straight to the place where we want to be.
The other topic is the SAP HANA, express edition.
As mentioned, for this, go to sap.com, then under the Developer tab, SAP HANA, express
edition, here we have our page to download express.
Well, that’s it. So much for downloading SAP HANA software.
In the next videos, I will show you how to install SAP HANA components.
