Installing the SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor Plugin to SAP HANA Studio

To use SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor features within SAP HANA Studio, install ESP onto the same machine as SAP HANA Studio. Then, install the ESP plugin into SAP HANA Studio. This allows you to open and run ESP projects from within SAP HANA Studio. If you intend to use ESP as a standalone product, this installation is unnecessary.

Prerequisites
Task
  1. Copy the following configuration settings from the ESP Studio configuration file $ESP_HOME/studio/esp_studio.ini to the SAP HANA Studio configuration file hdbstudio.ini (installed to the directory you chose when installing SAP HANA Studio):
    • -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
    • -Desp.compilerPath=[ESP-5_1 Path ]/bin/esp_parse.exe
    • -Desp.adapterPath=[ESP-5_1 Path]/lib/adapters
    • -Desp.aml2cclPath=[ESP-5_1 Path]//bin/esp_aml2ccl
    • -Desp.home=[ESP-5_1 Path]
    • -Desp.examples=[ESP-5_1 Path]/studio/learning
    • -Desp.i18n=[ESP-5_1 Path]/studio/i18n
    • -Desp.localCluster=[ESP-5_1 Path]/studio/clustercfg
    • -Djava.library.path=[ESP-5_1 Path]/adapters/rfc/bin
    • -Dhelp.lucene.tokenizer=standard
