HANA 2 and two riddle errors

HANA 2 has been out for a while now – even SP01 of it is available already – so I thought it is about time to get more familiar with it.

Using my trusty “skullbox”. I installed HANA 2 and realised that I now also will have to have a HANA Cockpit 2.0 installation, to be fully able to use all of the glorious new features.

Downloading the HANA Cockpit 2.0 package is a breeze as long as you do it via a proper broadband connection.

My Life Cycle Experience (SP8)

I’m writing this blog in regards to the SAP HANA Lifecycle Management tool in SP8, hdblcm (SAP Note 1997526). The plan for this blog is to initially post about installing HANA (and components) using hdblcm (also taking a detour to add a node) and then when SAP HANA SP9 comes out I will upgrade using the new hdblcm that comes with SP9.

So where is the hdblcm tool? this is found in the install media (if this is downloaded from the SAP Service Market Place you will need to have SAPCAR on your system to un-archive this file). It can be started in two ways, by calling ./hdblcm or ./hdblcmgui.
