Troubleshooting guide

• You have a valid license for Replication Server with ExpressConnect for HANA DB.
• Adaptive Server is installed and configured to serve as the source (primary) database from
which Replication Agent replicates transactions, and SAP HANA database is installed and
configured as the target (replicate) database to which Replication Server with
ExpressConnect for HANA DB replicates transactions.
• TCP/IP connectivity is available between all hosts.
During this task:
• Do not use Replication Server reserved words for object names and connection names. A
complete list of reserved words is documented in the Replication Server Reference
Manual .
• Because some directories, files, executable commands, and examples are shown only for
Solaris, adjust accordingly for Microsoft Windows and for other UNIX platforms.
Planning Your Installation
Before installing the replication components, verify the system requirements, identify the
Sybase installation directories, and obtain the installation software.
System Requirements
Make sure the target computer on which you are installing the replication components meets
the minimum memory and disk space requirements.
See the Replication Server Installation Guide > Planning Your Installation > System
Requirements .
To improve performance by avoiding multiple network hops, install Replication Server and
the SAP HANA database on the same machine.
Note: The only versions of Linux that ExpressConnect for HANA DB supports are Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11.
Identify the Sybase Installation Directory
Determine the directory in which to install the replication components.
Replication Server and ExpressConnect for HANA DB are installed in the same base
directory, which is identified by the SYBASE environment variable. Select a path on a host
drive to be the recipient of the Sybase installation and configuration activities.
Accessing and Downloading Products from SMP
Download replication components from the SAP Service Marketplace (SMP).
Prerequisites
You must have a login ID and password to download software from the SMP.
