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 login requires a user ID, password, and host name. A standard connection requires an entry in the interfaces file.
Note: ExpressConnect for HANA DB supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 only.
The general format for an interfaces file entry for the HANA DB data server is:
[dataservername]
master tcp ether hostname port 
query tcp ether hostname port
where hostname and port are the host and port number of the HANA DB dataserver, and dataservername is a label used to identify the host and port number. The interfaces file must be in standard format, not transport layer interface (TLI) format.
Each HANA DB installs with a unique instance number, and the port number is the instance number prefixed with 3 and suffixed with 15:
3in15
where in is the two-digit instance number. For example, the port number for a HANA DB with instance number 1 is 30115.
