Installing the SASLINK AFL Plugins on the Appliance (HANA SPS09)

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 SPS09), follow these steps:

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
```
If the SAS Embedded Process is running, run the ShutdownSASEP.sh script to stop the process.
```
/EPInstallDir/ShutdownSASEP.sh
```
Alternatively, you can shutdown the SAS Embedded Process by removing its PID file.
```
rm /var/tmp/tkhnmain.pid
```
Stop the SAP HANA database if it is running.
```
HDB stop
```
Use one of these commands to change the user to the root authority.
```
su - root
sudo su -
```
Copy the TAR file to the /tmp directory.
```
cp /EPInstallDir/sas_saslink_install.tgz /tmp
```

Unpack the TAR file.

cd /tmp
tar -xvzf sas_saslink_install.tgz

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
```
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
```
Restart the SAP HANA database.
```
HDB start
```
