Multiple Implementations on Single HANA DB

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are preparing a Demo to install ERP on HANA and S/4 HANA on the same HANA DB.

ERP on HANA implementation is now completed, and we need to plan S/4 HANA implementation on a separate node using the same HANA DB.

Our HANA DB is installed as 'Single_Container', is it possible to install multiple Netweaver systems on this HANA DB?

If not, what else are my options.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Regards,

Naga

Hi Nagaraju.

please take a look. You can use an Hana DB with Multitenant. But if you have installed as Single Container, you will have to convert it to Multiple Container Mode.

Hi Osvaldo,

Thanks for the quick response.

We will convert the current HANA DB to mutiple-container.

One question though, our ERP application server is installed on a separate node using the current HANA DB. Once converted to multiple-container HANA DB, how is the ERP node going to get effected. Any specific steps to perform for ERP to be able connect to the DB, post convertion of HANA DB?

Thanks,

Naga

Hi.

I never had to perform such a migration, but my understanding is that there is no changes to the current ERP database/schema.

Please take a look ate this sap note:

and also take a look at this blog:

Thanks Osvaldo!

HANA DB converted successfully, and ERP NW node had no issues connecting to HANA after conversion.

I have one more question, we have another HANA Single Container system with ERP implementation. Can i use the same Single Container HANA DB to install another system, say, NW BI? Or should i have my HANA DB converted to Multi Tenency first?

Hi Nagaraju,

If not used for production purpose, you can consider to use MCOD, MCOS and MDC also.
