ExpressConnect for HANA DB and Replicate Database Connectivity for HANA DB

Replication Server can connect to a HANA DB replicate database using ExpressConnect for HANA DB.

Using ExpressConnect for HANA DB

A Replication Server database connection to HANA DB can be:
  • secure, in which the connection uses the hdbuserstore key specified in the database connection, or
  • standard, in which the connection uses an entry in the interfaces file for the host and port number for HANA DB.
Note: ExpressConnect for HANA DB supports the same operating systems as Replication Server except pSeries Linux and is limited on Linux to support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 only.
Note: ExpressConnect for HANA DB does not ship with the required HANA DB ODBC drivers. Before using ExpressConnect for HANA DB, download these libraries from the SAP Support MarketPlace, and install them after installing Replication Server. See the Replication Server Release Bulletin > Special Installation Instructions > Installing ODBC Libraries for ExpressConnect for HANA DB.
