ExpressConnect for SAP HANA Database and Replicate Database Connectivity for SAP HANA Database

Replication Server can connect to an SAP HANA replicate database using ExpressConnect for SAP HANA Database.

Using ExpressConnect for HANA DB

A Replication Server database connection to SAP HANA database 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 SAP HANA Database supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 only.
The general format for an interfaces file entry for the SAP HANA 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 SAP HANA 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 SAP HANA database 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 SAP HANA database with instance number 1 is 30115.
