When SAP HANA and are not installed on the same machine (the database may be installed on any machine within the network), the database definition files need to be transferred to the SAP HANA machine before the database can be created. The database definition files are created in the subdirectory ./database/saphana and archived in the file database-setup.tar file.

 

  1. On the SAP HANA machine (as SAP HANA UNIX user): transfer the database-setup.tar file from the machine and extract the files:

    $ tar -xvf ./database-setup.tar

     

  2. Enter the database directory
    $ cd database
