Installing Replication Agent for SAP HANA in GUI Mode

Use the SAP Replication Server media to install Replication Agent for SAP HANA.

Prerequisites

Task
  1. Log in to the Replication Agent host machine using an operating system user account with authority to start, stop, and administer the Replication Agent instance.

    For example, log in using the “sybase” user account.

  2. Insert the SAP Replication Server 15.7.1 SP200 distribution media (CD or DVD) in the appropriate drive.
  3. Mount the CD or DVD.
    On Windows:

    The operating system automatically mounts the CD or DVD. Go to step 4.

    On UNIX:

    Set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to a host with a graphical user interface such as X-Windows, otherwise, the installation starts in console mode.

    See the SAP Replication Server Installation Guide for setting the environment variable to point to a GUI mode on other platforms.

  4. Start the installation program.

    The Replication Agent for SAP HANA installation program is in the hrax_suite subdirectory.

    On Windows, either:

    1. Select Start > Run, and enter x:\hrax_suite\setup.exe, where x: is your CD drive, or,
    2. In the Windows Explorer, double-click setup.exe.

    On UNIX, enter cd /cdrom./hrax_suite/setup.bin.

  5. Click Next.
    You can click Cancel to stop the installation at any point.
  6. On the End-User License Agreement window, select the geographic location.
  7. Select, read, and agree to the appropriate license agreement.

    If you agree to the terms of the Replication Agent for SAP HANA license, select I agree to the terms of the license for the install location specified.

    You must agree to the license agreement to proceed with the installation.

    Click Next.

  8. On the Choose Install Folder window, select the installation directory and click Next.

    You can use the default directory Sybase or choose a different directory.

  9. On the Choose Install Set window, select the default choice Full, and click Next.
  10. If the installer does not detect an appropriate license, you see the SySAM window. Select one of:
    • Specify License Keys – click Browse to select the license file, or enter the license key.
    • Use Previously Deployed License Server – if you have a SySAM license server already installed, enter the host name and the port number of the license server.
      Note: Enter the host name of the machine where the license server is running and the port number, if you are not using the default port.
    • Continue Installation Without a License Key – if you do not have licenses for the Replication Agent for SAP HANA.

      You can install and use Replication Agent for SAP HANA without a license for a grace period of 30 days.

      To continue using Replication Agent for SAP HANA after the end of the grace period, obtain a valid license from the SAP Service Marketplace at https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/, and install it.

      Click Next.
