Database Migration Option: Target Database SAP ASE

Downloading Latest Database Client Software

Make sure that you have the latest client software for your target database.

Context

If you have to install the client software for your target database, proceed as follows:

Among other options, SAP Maintenance Planner also offers the SAP HANA database client for download. This way, a manual installation is not required.

Procedure

  1. Download the software from the SAP Support Portal.
  2. Extract the software on the server that runs the DMO.

    (Note, that in the following the notation for Windows Systems is used. Adapt for Unix and other systems accordingly.)

    Extract it to the following location: <DRIVE>:\<DIR_GLOBAL>\syb\<platform>\. Example: E:\usr\sap\PI2\SYS\global\syb\NTAMD64.

    SUM with DMO checks the location <DIR_GLOBAL>\syb\<platform> whether the database client software is available, and accessible by <SAPSID>adm. If it is not the case, SUM with DMO requests a path (excluding sybodbc) to the client libraries. If necessary, SUM with DMO copies the database client software to the path <DRIVE>:\<DIR_GLOBAL>\syb\<platform>.
