In the last post, ‘SAP HANA from Space Level’, we
figured out who is eligible for HANA and who not. In
fact we conferred that HANA is for everyone. You
choose the area of HANA as per your interest,
expertise and also as per the career progression you
want to traverse.
Finally you are somewhat clear as to what you want to
do in HANA. Now a greater hurdle. Neither your
employee organization nor your current project client
has HANA database. So, how would you explore the
tremendous power and innovation of HANA? Is it end
of the road? Was your acquaintance with HANA only
till here?
Do not worry, there is always a way around. You just
need to have the zeal to learn and find out the
alternatives.
“When a person really desires something, the whole
universe conspires to help that person to realize his
dream.”
– Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
The easiest option (and a better one, if you can afford)
is to enroll in the authorized SAP Classroom/Online
HANA training session. Consider it as an investment
for your future.
But, if you do not want to shell out some $$$ right
now or you want to have some bare minimum
knowledge in HANA and then you plan to take proper
formal training, you have another free alternative.
Remember, in the concluding lines of previous post, I
mentioned that we can get access to HANA database
using SAP HANA Cloud Platform. There is nothing
called a “free lunch” in this world, but SAP HANA Cloud
Platform is an exception. Yes, it is absolutely free!!!
Thanks to SAP.

Let us create an SAP HANA Cloud Platform Account.
Online Trading Academy
Learn to Trade Like a Pro with a Free Trading Class Near
You!

Step 1. Go to HANATrial web page.
https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com/
If you have SAP S_USER ID (the same id which you use
in service.sap site to search SNotes) or SCN ID, hit
Log On. If you do not have these IDs, hit Register. Fill
up the short form and you will get a link at your email
to activate it.
Assuming, now you have your user id and password.
Click on the Log On button.
Here you are at the HANA Cloud Platform Cockpit.
Ready to fly guys??
Hold on!!
Check your User name and Account name. Note it
down. You will need it later to access the platform
from the studio.

Step 2. Create a trial SAP HANA Instance.
You can create just one. Consider SAP HANA instance
as a database schema with database property HANA XS.
Click on New Trial Instance, give a name you like and
hit SAVE.
Done, your cloud platform account is all set. Wasn’t it
simple?
But the dependent set up is not complete yet. Have
patience guys. These are only one time activity. Do
not leave hope yet..
Pre-requisite to play in SAP HANA Cloud
Platform: You need HANA studio and client or you
should have Eclipse Studio. In this post, you will see
how to download and use Eclipse. HANA
Studio/Client!! you need to wait for some other time
buddy..
And the pre-requisite for Eclipse is, you need to have
the updated Java Runtime Environment (JRE). If you
are not sure whether you have an updated JRE or not,
just download a new one and install it.
Step 3. Download the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE).
Our google drive for JRE. Click here to download JRE.
You can also go to the official site to get the JRE

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/dow
nloads/index.html
Step 4. Download Eclipse.
Our google drive for Luna eclipse. Click here to
download Eclipse.
You can also go to the official eclipse site and download
it.
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/
Luna/SR2
If you plan to go by the official site, the following
screens would assist you.

Whether you download from our drive or from official
site, make sure you extract JRE and install JAVA first.
After JAVA is installed, extract the Eclipse zip folder.
Click on the eclipse.exe. It would ask for default
workspace. Hit ok.

When the Eclipse opens, it would take you to the
Welcome Page.
You can close the welcome page and check with
eclipse. But how can you go to HANA?
Buddy, your eclipse is still not equiped to access HANA.
Your eclipse still does not have the HANA
Tools. You need to add the HANA Tools. Not
againnnn!!! :O
Trust me guys, this is the last step of the set up process. I
can feel and ampathize with you. I had the same feeling..
But, once you are done, you will enjoy the smooth HANA
ride.
Also Read : SAP HANA from Space Level
Step 5. Add HANA Tool and HANA Cloud Platform
Tool.
In the Eclipse, you need to add New Software to
access HANA Cloud Platform. Go to Help menu and
Install New Software as shown below.

Put the url https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/luna/ and
hit ADD/Enter to get the Tools.
Select HANA Tools and Cloud Platform Tools. Hit Next,
accept T&C and Finish. Your eclipse would restart.
Get ready for Fun now.
Go to Window menu -> Open Perspective -> Other
-> SAP HANA Development.

Step 6. Link Studio to SAP HANA Cloud Platform
Instance
You have a fresh studio. Link the studio to the SAP
HANA Cloud Platform instance which you created
earlier. Hit the Add Cloud System as shown below.
Provide the Cloud Account name (with suffix trial).
System would prompt you for hanatrial landscape
host (hanatrial.ondemand.com). Select it. Give your
user name and password.

Caution: I mis-spelled the “trial” to “trail” and I got
the below error.
Message: ‘The information about SAP HANA schemas
and databases cannot be fetched from SAP HANA Cloud
Platform. Check the error log for more details’.
I wasted a day to figure out what went wrong. If you
get the above pop up error message, you know, you
need to correct your username and account name.

Hit next. Select the Schema from drop down which
you created in the free cloud account and hit Finish.
OLAAA!! Your HANA genie is ready for your service.
Make her work for you.. Have fun!!
PS: Please work on Schema starting with NEO_ . SAP
HANA on Cloud Platform has some limitation which can
be reduced by working in NEO_ Schema. In the next post,
I would show the limitation and how we can go pass it.
So, for now, work only in NEO and do not create
anything in DEV_ Schema.
NEO_ = Yes Yes. Play on it.

DEV_ = No No. Do not create anything in DEV
Schema.

Let’s Practice HANA
I was tempted to end this post here as it is already too
late in the night.
But, since you stood patiently installing each and every
component, software and tools, how can you close,
before writing your first statement in HANA. Let us
create our first custom table in HANA, populate some
data and view them. Buckle your seat belt!!
What are we going to practice now?
1. Create custom table in HANA using SQL (in the
next post, I will show you how to create custom table
without SQL code. Just like SE11)
2. View table definition
3. Add data in the custom table using SQL.
3. Display the data entries saved in HANA.
Since we are going to write some SQL statements,
right click on your schema and select ‘Open SQL
Console’. Trust me, you do not need prior SQL
knowledge. Just couple of keywords which I will provide.

Practice 1: Create custom table.
SQL Code: Self explanatory
Put the above code in the SQL console, change the
fields and types if you want your own field names and
hit the Execute arrow Icon. It would save and create
your first HANA custom table.
Please note: your table name need not start with Z. Since
I am an ABAPer, old habit die hard.
Practice 2: View table definition
Right click on the table name and hit Open
Definition. If you do not see your custom table below

CREATE COLUMN TABLE ZM_MARA (
   MATERIAL      INTEGER,
   CREATED_ON    DATE,
   CREATED_BY    VARCHAR(12),
   MATERIAL_DESC VARCHAR(40),
   PRIMARY KEY (MATERIAL)
);

Tables, right click and hit refresh.
Check, Column Store table type is created. We can
change this type. We will discuss them in subsequent
posts.
Practice 3: Add data to the custom table using
SQL.
SQL Code: Self explanatory
Put the above code in the SQL editor and hit Execute
button. Check the log below says success.

Practice 4: View your entries
Right click on the table name and hit Open Content.
Check the table has all the entries you added above
using SQL INSERT statement.

INSERT INTO ZM_MARA VALUES (900, '20150917', 'SAPYard'

That was all SQL you needed to create and populate
tables in HANA. Now, do you agree, SQL is not a
must? You can always learn it..
Congratulations!!! You achieved a lot today. Created
you Free HANA Cloud account, Connected to
HANA from Eclipse and completed 4 hands on
practice on HANA. .. Pat your back. You are
making good progress. You can treat yourself for this
hard work. Have fun.. Keep exploring!!
Brownie for guys who are a step ahead in practice
session.

If you get error while calling the above piece of
statement, it means you have created some objects in
DEV_ Schema. Delete everything ( tables/ views etc) from
DEV_ Schema. Do the same exercise in NEO_ Schema.
Believe me, the above statement would execute
successfully and schema _SYS_BIC would be created for
you. (More detail in next post)

Thanks Aasdf.. You are
the first to confirm it worked. Our post
is fruitful if it helps even one. Regarding
7.4 trials, I think there is some demo
version. Need to explore a bit.
Regards,
Raju.
Trial HANA cloud account have many
limitations like you cannot create any XS
project or XS services. It will only allow to
work on the data modeling part. Do you know
any other free trial account where we can
explore the HANA XS capabilities??
You are right
Soumyadeep. Free versions will have
limitations. But this is ok for beginners
to get the look and feel and do some
modeling and reporting.
I am not aware of free trials other than
Amazon, but we need to pay Amazon for

service. But I know of some really cheap
paid service which you can avail for 1
month (and renew). Let’s connect offline
if you need a paid practice server.

Hey,
Great article. does the above env. provide you
with reqd priveleges, accesses, std tables to
learn HANA modelling, SQL, procedures. If
not how do we go about that?
Regards,
sunny
Hi Sunny – The HANA
Cloud Platform has certain limitations.
But you can create your own data and
populate them and learn modelling. You
can write SQL. I am able to create
Attribute Views, Analytic View etc. I am
playing around with the limited access. I
will post something soon.
