Creating an Adapter Instance (SAP HANA)

Before you can begin using the Management Pack, you must create an adapter instance to identify the host from which the Management Pack will retrieve data.

Prerequisites

• Installing the Management Pack (SAP HANA)
• Creating a Credential (SAP HANA)

Procedure

1. From the top navigation bar, select Administration. In the right panel, the Solutions view will be displayed.
2. Select SAP HANA from the Solutions list on the right.
   
   
3. Click the Configure  icon. The Manage Solution window will appear.
   Note: Click the Add  icon above the Instance Namelist on the left to create multiple adapter instances.

   
   
   
4. In the Manage Solution window, enter the following information:
   1. Instance Settings:
      • Display Name: A name for this particular instance of the Management Pack.
      • Description: Optional, but it can be helpful to describe multiple adapter instances of the Management Pack.
   2. Basic Settings:
      • Host: SAP HANA hostname or IP address.
      Note: The Management Pack supports IPv4 addresses only.
      • Credential: Select the credential you created when Creating a Credential (SAP HANA),or click the Add  icon to create a credential set now.
   3. Advanced Settings:
      • Collectors/Groups: Default Collector/Group is automatically selected. Click the drop-down menu if you want to run the collection on a different node.
      • Port: Default port is 30015.
        Note: The port number is bound to the instance of the database. For more information on ranges and rules for port numbers, see: https://help.sap.com/viewer/ports.
      • Standby Hosts: Enter individual hostname or list of hostnames to be used for failover.
        Note: The Standby Hosts field supports input of multiple hosts using a comma-separated list. If using a port other than the default, it can be appended using the following format: <hostname_or_IP1>:<port>,<hostname_or_IP2>:<port>.
      • SSL Config: Default setting is No SSL (SSL disabled); other choices are No Verify (SSL enabled/certificate not verified) and Verify (SSL enabled/certificate verified).
      • Support Autodiscovery: Default setting is True, this should not be set to False.
5. Click Test Connection to test the configured connection information. Click Save Settings and Close to save your adapter instance.
