Installing the Smart data streaming plugin for HANA Studio

The design time tools for SAP HANA smart data streaming are delivered as a plug-in to the SAP HANA Studio.  They are not installed in the studio by default - they are optional and must be downloaded separately. Installation is simple, however, and only takes a few minutes.  Either follow the instructions below, or watch these two reference HANA Academy tutorials and follow along.

Pre-requisites

1. You must have a HANA system with smart data streaming installed that you will connect to and use.  See the smart data streaming installation doc and configuration guide, and/or this TechEd session if you have not yet installed smart data streaming on your SAP HANA system.
2. Download and install SAP HANA Studio 2  (version 2 is required - this is the new version released as part of HANA SPS09) and connect to your HANA System.

1. Go to SAP Service Marketplace, Support Packages, A-Z index,  "H" (for HANA)
2. Select SAP HANA Smart Data Streaming
3. Select version 1.0
4. Select "Comprised Software Component Versions"
5. Select "Smart Data Streaming Studio 1.0"
6. Choose your version and download the installation package
