HANA Rev64 auto-update not working

[Former Member]

Hello

We have upgraded our HANA Rev55 to Rev64 using HLM, and expected that the HANA Studio repository inside the instance would be updated/created, so that we could define the location in our HANA Studio programs on our PCs and update from the instance repository.  However, HANA Studio complains that there is no repository. We have tried to create the repository using the hdbeuspack utility, but this aborts immediately after the "Initialising repository type catalog" message.

Has anyone else had this problem and found a resolution for it?

Cheers

You need to update the repository as follows:

1. Open a root shell and go to the directory where you unpacked the software for this installation.

2. Call the installation program as follows:./hdbinst -a studio --copy_repository=<target_repository_path>

3. Leave the root shell after the copy is completed.

You can use the repository that was just created to update the SAP HANA studio using an update site. Enter the path to the repository as the update site.

For more information, please check SAP HANA Database - Studio Installation and Update Guide

We have followed that process without success.

What error did you face using this method? Could you please share exact error?

Hi Soyful,

there should be a more detailed log in /var/tmp, for example directory:   /var/tmp/hdb_TED_UpdateRepository_2013-09-03_18.47.45

The log will give you more details on what the cause is. I had a similar error last week and found in the log that the hdbstudio_update directory and manifest file were owned by another user, not the correct <sid>adm. After changing ownership it ran successful.

Hi Serge

This isn't an authorisation/owner issue. It's a bug and we'll see it resolved in the next release...
