Sap Hana Client Mac Os
Jul 24, 2017 000 Client: - We can find this clients in the system as soon as we install SAP r/3 software. This is called master client. Client 000 contains a simple organizational structure of a test company and includes parameters for all applications, standard settings, and configurations for the control of standard transactions and examples to be used in many different profiles of the business applications. SAP HANA is installed and running on either a Scale Up on or Scale Out instance. The Maximum jobs per client value in the Global Attributes of the Netbackup Master server is set to the amount of expected jobs per SAP HANA database. Access to the client has been allowed by adding the media server to the Clients Properties under Servers-Media.
SAP provides HANA Client for Intel ( x8664 architecture) Mac OS computers only. According to APPLE documentation, it is possible to create Universal binary to support Intel & Silicon for HANA Client. Are there any plans to support HANA client also on Apple.
- Need to connect to a HANA database in Data Services or Information Steward.
- HANA Client Installer is inside a SAR file which needs to be extracted via a special tool and then installed.

In this blog, we explain how to extract the SAP HANA client on macOS. Files on SAP Software Downloads have the SAR extension. This provides a few challenges on the latest macOS versions but nothing we can’t handle. Any good? Post a comment, share on social media, and/or give a like. That’s how the community works. Thanks!. |
The new archiving tool SAPCAR
Older readers might remember when SAP introduced a new archiving tool to replace the previous CAR (Compressed ARchive) utility some two decades ago. The tools were not compatible, so for SAPCAR the extension SAR was chosen.
- 212876 – The new archiving tool SAPCAR (2000)
SAPCAR only exists as command line tool, there is no graphical version, and the syntax resembles that of the UNIX TAR utility with -x for extract, -v for verbose (show me), and -f for file, to list a few common ones.
Tar was developed to bundle a number of files into a single Tape ARchive file (but works on disk too). Tar does not compress files and so it is often used together with zip to create a zipped tarball, which somewhat resembles our SAR files.
As Linux and macOS are UNIX descendants, we find tar on these operating systems as well.
SAP Service Marketplace is being retired
To download SAP software, we need to navigate to Software Downloads on the SAP ONE Support Launchpad. This used to be the Software Download Center (SWDC) on the SAP Service Marketplace (SMP) but that was decommissioned in 2018. You might still find references to SWDC or SMP as not everybody read the blog post yet
- SAP Service Marketplace is being retired (2018)
Or maybe because the shortcut still works
IMDB_CLIENT20
From Software Downloads, we can download the in-memory database SAP HANA client 2.0. There is one for Linux, UNIX (several versions), Microsoft Windows, and macOS.
- File type: SAR
- Operating system: MACOS X 64-BIT
What version do you need? Always pick the latest as there is a “single public release” strategy which “removes ambiguity about which version to install, brings the benefits of new performance or stability improvements to all customers”.
SAPCAR 7.21
There is a SAPCAR utility for most operating systems and this includes (as of 7.21) macOS.
- File type: EXE
- Operating system: MACOS X 64-BIT
Because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS
From the Windows world we have learned that we can double-click executable files (EXE) to execute. Doing so, will return a friendly message that Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS.
Hana Client Download
The developer cannot be verified
Because of the EXE extension, macOS assumes it is a Windows binary. When we open Terminal and do a file check with the file command, this confirms it is a Mach-O 64-bit executable: perfectly fine.
Executing the file however returns permission denied because the download comes with only RW permissions for the current user. This is easy to fix with a chmod u+x.
At this stage, macOS protection kicks in to as the file is unsigned and might as well be malware. Move to Bin? No. Cancel.
Allow Anyway
If you agree that SAP software can be trusted, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy and select Allow Anyway
Sap Hana Python Client Api For Machine Learning Algorithms
Are you sure you want to open it?
Run the SAPCAR command again and select Open to allow.
Usage
Just running the command returns usage. To extract files from an archive:
As the version number and the .EXE file extension serve no particular purpose, let’s rename the file and, while at it, move it to the bin directory so we do not have to specify current directory when not in the path (./). As we move the file to a protected directory this requires superuser (su) permission:
Long Story, Short Story
For those that prefer a shortcut, here are the commands that rename the file, set the execution bit, the proper group, and remove the quarantine property. Thanks to Witalij Rudnicki for the last one.
Install the SAP HANA Client
Tools On-Demand
If you prefer, you can also download the SAP HANA client from the SAP Development Tools website: tools.hana.ondemand.com (for the story behind the URL, see At Your Service: SAP HANA in the Cloud).
For macOS, this download comes as a zipped tarball (.tar,gz).
To extract, run the command
Or in case you have configured macOS to automatically extract zipped files, with
Sap Hana Client 64
Common Crypto Lib
However, although the release number is the same (2.4), only the client from Software Downloads contains the SAP cryptography library Common Crypto Lib (CCL).
You will need this to connect with your client to the SAP HANA Service, for example. See
