SAP HANA Studio Part 1

If you are new to SAP HANA, we recommend to read following articles first.
The SAP HANA Studio at a glance:
  • HANA Studio is an Eclipse-based, integrated development environment (IDE) that is used to develop artifacts in a HANA server.
  • It enables technical users to manage the SAP HANA database, to create and manage user authorizations, to create new or modify existing models of data etc.
  • It is a client tool, which can be used to access local or remote HANA system.

Supported Platforms:

The SAP HANA studio runs on the Eclipse platform 3.6. We can use the SAP HANA studio on the following platforms:
  • Microsoft Windows x32 and x64 versions of: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES 11: x86 64-bit version
Note: For Mac OS, HANA studio is available but there is no HANA client for that.

System Requirements:

Java JRE 1.6 or 1.7 must be installed to run the SAP HANA studio. The Java runtime must be specified in the PATH variable. Make sure to choose the correct Java variant for installation of SAP HANA studio:
  • For a 32-bit installation, choose a 32-bit Java variant.
  • For a 64-bit installation, choose a 64-bit Java variant.

HANA Client:

HANA Client is the piece of software which enables you to connect any other entity, including Non-Native applications to a HANA server. This "other" entity can be, say, an NW Application Server, an IIS server etc. 
The HANA Client installation also provides JDBC, ODBC drivers. This enables applications written in .Net, Java etc. to connect to a HANA server, and use the server as a remote database. So, consider client as the primary connection enabler to HANA server. 

HANA Client is installed separately from the HANA studio. 

Installation Paths:

If we do not specify an Installation Path during installation, the following default values apply:
  • Microsoft Windows 32-bit -> C:\Program Files\sap\hdbstudio
  • Microsoft Windows 64-bit -> C:\Program Files\sap\hdbstudio
