SAP HANA Current Revision and how to update

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I would like to know how we can check the current HANA IMDB server revision version, are there are specific Linux commands to check the revision on the HANA IMDB server? Also I would like to take your inputs to learn how to update the revision for HANA server. Can this be done using the HANA unified installer?

Thanks for the help.

Thanks and Regards,

Archana

As <sid>adm OS user go to HANA db directory and execute

HDB version

For the upgrade guide have a look at http://help.sap.com/hana_appliance#section2

Hi Vitaliy,

Thanks for the inputs, thats very helpful. The HDB version command gives the HANA version and revision details. Currently we are on HANA 1.0 SP3 Revision 20 and looking forward to upgrade to Revision 21.

Thanks for the link on the upgrade guides, I had read through it previoulsy but have some questions.

The SAP Note u201C1653292 - SAP HANA appliance: Revision 21 of SAP HANA databaseu201D mentions:

u2022 For the installation and update procedure of the SAP HANA appliance software and its core components (incl. SAP HANA database), see the SAP HANA Automated Update Guide https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000604952011

I would like to know if the only way to update the HANA revision from 20 to 21, is to follow the steps in the HANA automated update guide and set up the components for automated update, then do a revision update? Is there a manual way to do it, but none of the HANA guides mentions how to manually download a specific revision package from SAP service maket place and update the revision version. Please let me know if I missed any guide that talks about this?

Thanks for the help.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Archana,

Automated updated is not mandatory. You can manually upgrade the HANA database,client and studio. You can find all Revisions at the following location in Service Market Place:

SAP NetWeaver and complementary products> SAP HANA><Your SAP HANA Edition>>Comprised Software Component Versions><here you will find DB,Studio and Client for required revision>

Uncar the files using SAPCAR and trigger databse upgrade by following command: ./hdbupd

Hi Archana,

You can go for manual update for updating the SAP HANA components like IMDB SERVER,HANA Client,HANA STUDIO and so on.....

Manual Update Guide for your reference:

https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000604942011

Note: Before starting the update do not forget to take backup of HANA DATA files and config files too, which are required for complete data recovery in case of error while updating.
