Hello and welcome to the SAP HANA Academy.
You are watching the video tutorial series: Building Solutions - Live 5.
The topic of this video tutorial is Initial Setup - File Transfer.
Hi, I am Denys van Kempen.
In this video, we are going to setup file transfer between the SAP HANA server and a
client computer and transfer the Text Analysis additional language files that we downloaded
to the HANA server.
As a reminder, here we have our HANA express download manager with the text analysis files
for additional languages. and here we have the Getting Started Guide
Section 6.4 Install Text Analysis Files
with the path where this file should be copied to.
OK
There are multiple ways how you can transfer these files.
I will be using FileZilla here.
It is a free FTP client.
There is one for Windows, one for Linux, and one for the Mac.
All works the same.
Just google “filezilla” and download the client, not the server, the client, and install.
Simple installation process: next, next, next
and then you can start Filezilla.
For the host, enter either the IP or the hostname.
Username: hxeadm
Password: well, the one you defined.
Port is 22. That’s the port for secure FTP.
So, if there is a firewall between your client and the HANA server,
you need to make sure that this port is open.
I have defined the IP in the hosts file on my Windows client.
That’s in the windows > system32 > drivers > etc directory
and would be in /etc/hosts on the Mac
This way you can connect just using the host name and not the IP.
the additional lang file with the TGZ extension is in the Downloads folder on my windows client
TGZ means it is a zipped tar ball, in UNIX vocabulary,
Let’s copy over the directory where this file needs to go from the Getting Started Guide
and copy this into the path on the HANA server
/hana/shared/HXE/global/hdb/custom/config/lexicon
and then you can just drag and drop the file
Alternatively, you can also use WinSCP, windows secure copy.
Again, just google it.
It is a small download and simple install.
Only for Windows this time.
Here we have the login screen.
WinSCP integrates with PuTTY.
So you can use the same configuration and the UI is a bit more windows like.
So you may prefer this if you are a hardcore Windows user.
Then, we need to extract the file.
For this, I will use PuTTY.
We have look at how to set this up before.
Open the connection Enter the password for hxeadm.
and then, the path is still in my Windows clipboard, so just right-click to copy
The command was in the Getting Started Guide as well.
tar xvzf file name x for extract
v for verbose, this will give us a bit of output, so we can catch any errors,
should they occur
z for zipped, and f for file and then the file name
in case you wondered, tar also works with pipes and tapes, tar being originally
a Tape ARchiver, hence the name
and then we are done.
OK, so much for Initial Setup - File Transfer
