Connecting SAP HANA Nodes to the SAP HANA Studio

This section uses a Windows ECS where the SAP HANA Studio is deployed as an example.

Procedure

  1. Start the SAP HANA Studio.

    On the ECS where the SAP HANA Studio is deployed, choose Start > SAP HANA > SAP HANA Studio. Then, the system displays the SAP HANA Studio management page and the Workspace Launcher dialog box.

    Key parameters are as follows:
    • Host Name: Enter the service or client plane IP address of the SAP HANA ECS.
    • Instance Number: Enter the number of the instance on the SAP HANA node.
    • Mode: Select a mode based on actual requirements. When SAP HANA 2.0 is installed, only Multiple containers can be selected. In addition, the backup path can be set only when the SAP HANA Studio is interconnected with both the system database and tenant database and runs on the system database.

  10. Click the Landscape tab on the right of the page and check the status of each process on the SAP HANA node.
