In-Database Deployment Package for SAP HANA

Overview of the In-Database Deployment Package for SAP HANA

Prerequisites

SAS Foundation and the SAS/ACCESS Interface to SAP HANA must be installed before you install and configure the in-database deployment package for SAP HANA.

The SAS Scoring Accelerator for SAP HANA and the SAS Embedded Process require a specific version of the SAP HANA client and server environment. For more information, see the SAS Foundation system requirements documentation for your operating environment.

Overview of the In-Database Deployment Package for SAP HANA

This section describes how to install and configure the in-database deployment package for SAP HANA (SAS Embedded Process).

The in-database deployment package for SAP HANA must be installed and configured before you can perform the following tasks:

Use the %INDHN_PUBLISH_MODEL scoring publishing macro to create scoring files inside the database.
Run SAS High-Performance Analytics when the analytics cluster is using a parallel connection with a remote SAP HANA appliance. The SAS Embedded Process, which resides on the data appliance, is used to provide high-speed parallel data transfer between the data appliance and the analytics environment where it is processed.

For more information, see the SAS High-Performance Analytics Infrastructure: Installation and Configuration Guide.

For more information about using the scoring publishing macros, see the SAS In-Database Products: User's Guide.

The SAS Embedded Process is a SAS server process that runs within SAP HANA to read and write data. The SAS Embedded Process contains macros, run-time libraries, and other software that is installed on your SAP HANA system. These installations are done so that the SAS scoring files created in SAP HANA can access routines within the SAS Embedded Process run-time libraries.
