Starting the SAP HANA Agent Control Center GUI

Start the Replication Agent for SAP HANA Control Center GUI instance on your platform.

Prerequisites
Make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the SAP_JVM directory.
Task
  1. To start the Replication Agent for SAP HANA Control Center GUI, execute the start-up script for your platform.
    Option Description
    Linux
    • Navigate to the $Replication Agent for SAP HANA/bin directory.
    • Run HANARAXCC.sh.
    Windows
    • Navigate to the %Replication Agent for SAP HANA%\bin directory.
    • Run HANARAXCC.cmd.

    The Start Agent? dialog is displayed.

  2. If a local container has not yet started communicating with the Replication Agent for SAP HANA, click Yes in the Start Agent? dialog to start one.

    The SAP HANA Agent Control Center GUI opens the Agent Servers window.

    The Agent Servers window shows all the registered containers running. The Known Agents node contains a list of all registered hosts on the subnet. For example, the Known Agents list contains a host named OAKN00531400A, which has these instances:

    • AgentContainer – is the management agent instance of the container.

    • RAXContainer – is the runtime agent container instance.

      The RAXContainer is used to execute a replication model.

  3. To start the RAXContainer, right-click it and select the Start Server RAXContainer item from the drop-down menu.
    You see a message indicating that the RAXContainer server has started successfully.
  4. Select the RAXContainer instance and click the Properties tab to inspect the server properties.

    If the server properties list does not appear, select the host and click the RAXContainer instance again.

    You see a list of server instance properties. Accept the default values for these properties:
