Installing Replication Agent for SAP HANA in Console Mode

Install the Replication Agent for SAP HANA in an interactive console mode.

Prerequisites

Task
Installing Replication Agent for SAP HANA in console mode uses the same steps as the GUI wizard, except you:
  • Start the installation program wizard at the command line prompt, and
  • Use only the keyboard to select all of the installation options.
Note: If there is not enough disk space in your default temporary directory, set the IATEMPDIR (Linux or UNIX platform) or TMP (Windows) environment variable to a directory that has enough space. Include the full path to this directory.
  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.
    Note: On a Microsoft Windows platform, when the installation program starts automatically, click Cancel.
  3. Open an operating system command window, and set the media drive as the current drive.
    Note: The Replication Agent for SAP HANA installation program is in the hrax_suite subdirectory.
    On Windows:
    setupConsole.exe -i console

    On UNIX:

    setup.bin –i console

    You see the Welcome message.

  4. Follow the remaining prompts to install the Replication Agent for SAP HANA software.

    The installation program installs the components in the installation directory you specified, and displays an installation progress indicator.

    If you encounter errors messages during the installation, exit the installation program console to correct the cause of the error, then restart the installation program.

    If the software is installed successfully, you see a window confirming the successful installation.
