Installing the SASLINK AFL Plugins on the Appliance (SPS11)

The SASLINK Application Function Library (AFL) files are included in an installer that is packaged as a tarball (TAR file) and that is provided when the SAS Embedded Process self-extracting archive file is unpacked.
Note: The SID referenced in these instructions is the SAP HANA system identifier (for example, HDB).
To install the SASLINK AFL plugins on the appliance (HANA SPS11), follow these steps:
  1. Log on to the SAP HANA server as the database administrator or change the user to the database administrator.
    You can use one of these commands.
    su - SIDadm
    ssh SIDadm@server-name
  2. If the SAS Embedded Process is running, run the ShutdownSASEP.sh script to stop the process.
    ./ShutdownSASEP.sh
    Alternatively, you can shutdown the SAS Embedded Process by removing its PID file.
    rm /var/tmp/tkhnmain.pid
  3. Stop the SAP HANA database if it is running.
    HDB stop
  4. Use one of these commands to change the user to the root authority.
    su - root
    sudo su -
  5. Copy the TAR file to the /tmp directory.
    cp /EPInstallDir/SASEPHome/misc/sas_saslink_installer.tgz /tmp
  6. Unpack the TAR file.
    cd /tmp
    tar -xvzf sas_saslink_installer.tgz
  7. Run the HANA install utility from the directory where the TAR file was unpacked. Specify the system ID of the HANA instance when prompted by the install utility.
    cd /tmp/sas_saslink_installer/installer
    ./hdbinst
  8. Use one of these commands to change the user back to the database administrator or change the user to the database administrator.
    su - SIDadm
    exit
  9. Restart the SAP HANA database.
    HDB start
