Enable Smart Data Integration on your HANA, express edition

1. Increase the virtual machine memory to 12GB
2. Create a tenant database with the Data Provisioning Server enabled
3. Import the Smart Data Integration delivery unit
4. Configure the Smart Data Integration agent
5. Verify the Smart Data Integration agent connection

To make room for an additional HANA database container, I increase the memory of my HANA, express edition from its the 9GB after the upgrade to 12GB:

Then I log into the HANA Cockpit with my SYSTEM user and automatically get the required roles assigned:

Currently, there is only the SYSTEMDB:

So I create a new tenant database including the dpserver Service:

This can take a while:

But eventually both databases are running fine:

The issues come from the HANA, express edition log mode and can be ignored for such sandbox systems:

With this I can import the SDI Delivery Unit into my database tenant:

In my case from the Client:

And after a short while, the import is completed successfully:

With this I create an SDIUSER with the required Application privilege sap.hana.im.dp.admin::Administrator:

And System Privileges AGENT ADMIN and ADAPTER ADMIN:

Then, I determine the SDI tenant indexserver SQL Port:

And connect my SDI agent accordingly:

Which is confirmed working:

Finally, I register my SDI agent with my HANA, express edition:

Which again is confirmed accordingly:

With the Agent Registration being updated:

With this, all SDI functionality is available to me on my HANA, express edition.
