Prerequisites

  • A computer running Microsoft Windows or Linux.

This tutorial group will provide guidance on setting up an instance of SAP HANA Cloud, data lake so that it can then be connected to and queried using a few of the data lake client interfaces as described in SAP HANA Cloud, Data Lake Developer Guide for Data Lake Relational Engine.

  • Step 1

    SAP HANA Cloud is composed of multiple components.

    • SAP HANA is an in-memory, multi-model, column-based, relational database. For further details see Introduction to SAP HANA Cloud and the tutorial mission Use Clients to Query an SAP HANA Database.

    • SAP HANA Cloud, data lake is composed of two components; a data lake Relational Engine and data lake Files.

      Data Lake Relational Engine is a disk-based, column-oriented relational database for storing and analyzing large amounts of infrequently updated data. It descends from SAP IQ, which was previously named Sybase IQ. Because of its heritage, there are commonalities with other Sybase products. Some of the client interface drivers are shared with SAP SQL Anywhere and SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise.

      Data Lake Files can be used to store and access unstructured data such as trace files and structured files like CSV, Parquet, or delta tables. Structured files can use SQL on Files, which enables SQL queries to be performed on them.

      Note, that the data lake Files component, is currently not available in free tier or trial accounts.

  • Step 2

    The SAP BTP platform provides multiple runtime environments such as Cloud Foundry and Kyma. When a SAP HANA Cloud or data lake instance is created, it can be created in a BTP subaccount or in a Cloud Foundry space. SAP HANA Cloud Central can be used to provision and manage instances in the BTP subaccount or in a Cloud Foundry space. In the screenshot below, there is an instance of a data lake that was provisioned in the BTP subaccount (Other Environments) and one that was provisioned into Cloud Foundry.

    Runtime Environments

    The multi-environment tooling (once a subscription and setup is complete) can be accessed under subscriptions.

  • Step 3

    To complete the tutorials in this group, a SAP HANA Cloud, data lake instance is needed. There are two different free options available, which are the SAP BTP free-tier and SAP BTP trial. For instructions on registering, see Set Up Your SAP HANA Cloud, SAP HANA Database (free tier or trial) and Understand the Basics.

    The following steps provide instructions on how to create a data lake instance in the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) trial. Additional content on this topic is available at Quick Start Tutorial for Data Lake.

    There are multiple ways to create a data lake:

    • A data lake can be created in step 6 of the SAP HANA Database creation wizard.

      add a data lake
    • A data lake can be added to an already created SAP HANA database that does not have a data lake already associated with it.

      add data lake

      When a data lake is created in either of the previous two methods, it is configured to be maximally compatible with an SAP HANA database.

    • A data lake can be created that is independent (standalone) of a SAP HANA database by using the Create Instance button and the option SAP HANA Cloud, data lake.

      independent data lake
      Standalone data lake

      A standalone data lake can be configured with additional options such a collation value of UTF8BIN and blank padding set to ON to be more compatible with an on-premise SAP IQ.

    1. Open SAP HANA Cloud Central.

    2. If a data lake is not already present, add one using one of the three methods previously described.

      Take note when creating the data lake that the administration user is HDLADMIN.

      The HDLADMIN user has a login policy that enforces the update of the password after 180 days.

    3. As this instance is a free tier or trial account, set allowed connections to Allow all IP addresses so that client applications can connect from any IP address.

      Allowed connections
    4. After a while, press the Refresh button or enable auto-refresh and the status should change from CREATING to RUNNING once the instance has been created.

      data lake running

      Important: SAP HANA Cloud, HANA data lake free tier or trial instances are shut down overnight and will need to be restarted before working with them the next day.

  • Step 4
    1. Once the data lake has been created, it’s details can be examined.
      Open in cockpit

      Input your credentials. These will be stored by SAP HANA Cloud Central.

      Credentials

      After you enter your credentials, should you wish to use a different set of credentials, the current credentials can be updated using Sign in to the Instance.

      Credentials
  • Step 5

    In this step, a sample HOTEL dataset will be created comprising tables, a view, and a stored procedure.

    1. From the action menu, select Open SQL Console.

      open database explorer
    2. Execute a few queries.

      SQL
      Copy
      SELECT CURRENT USER FROM DUMMY;
      SELECT * FROM sa_db_properties() WHERE UPPER(PropName) LIKE '%NAME%';
      SELECT * FROM SYS.SYSOPTIONS WHERE UPPER("option") LIKE '%VERIFY%';
      CALL sa_conn_properties(CONNECTION_PROPERTY('Number'));
      
      SAP HANA database explorer

      Additional details can be found at System Functions and Stored Procedures in Data Lake Relational Engine.

    3. From the actions menu, select Open in SAP HANA Database Explorer.

      open the SAP HANA database explorer

      In the SAP HANA database explorer, execute the following SQL statements.

      SQL
      Copy

      Additional details on the SQL used above can be found at CREATE TABLE Statement for Data Lake Relational Engine, CREATE VIEW Statement for Data Lake Relational Engine, and CREATE PROCEDURE Statement for Data Lake Relational Engine.

      Identifiers such as the column names in a table are case-insensitive.

    For additional details on the SAP HANA database explorer, see the tutorial Get Started with the SAP HANA Database Explorer, which showcases many of its features.

  • Step 6

    This version of the data lake client does not include cryptographic libraries as it makes use of the libraries that are available on the operating systems such as OpenSSL. It is available for download after accepting SAP Developer License agreement. Currently, this version is only available for Linux. Either client can be used to complete the steps shown in this tutorial group.

    1. Open the HANA tab of SAP Development Tools.

    2. Download the SAP HANA Data Lake Client 1.0.

      download
    3. Extract the archive.

      Shell (Linux)
      Copy
      tar -zxvf hdlclient-latest-linux-x64.tar.gz
      
    4. Start the installer.

      Shell (Linux)
      Copy
      cd ebf*
      ./hdbinst
      

      run the installer

    5. Configure the environment variables. This can be done by calling hdlclienv.sh manually or it can be added to the Bash shell by referencing it in .bashrc.

      Open the .bashrc.

      Shell (Linux)
      Copy
      pico ~/.bashrc
      

      This tutorial uses notepad and pico as default text editors, but any text editor will do.
      Pico can be installed on SUSE Linux with

      Shell (Linux SUSE)
      Copy
      sudo zypper install pico
      

      Add the following line to point to the location where the SAP data lake client is installed.

      Shell (Linux) .bash_profile
      Copy
      source ~/sap/hdlclient/bin64/hdlclienv.sh
      

      Test the change by running:

      Shell (Linux)
      Copy
      source ~/.bashrc
      

      The following command should display the install location of the data lake client.

      Shell (Linux)
      Copy
      echo $IQDIR17
      

      In the case that the Data Lake Client needs to be uninstalled, run the hdbuninst file located in the directory ~/sap/hdlclient/install.


  • Step 7

    This version of the data lake client is available from the SAP Software Download Center and requires an S-user ID and only shows software that you have purchased. Additional details can be found at Software Downloads FAQ. Either client can be used to complete the steps shown in this tutorial group.

    1. Open SAP for me and navigate to Support Packages & Patches | By Alphabetical Index (A-Z).

      SAP for Me Download Software
    2. Navigate to H | HANA CLOUD CLIENTS | HANA CLOUD CLIENTS 1.0 | HANA DATALAKE CLIENT 1.0. Select the platform (Windows or Linux) and download the latest version of the archive.

      data lake software downloads

      Note access to the client install is currently limited to S-user IDs

    3. Extract the archive and start the installer.

    4. Specify an install folder such as C:\sap\DLClient (for Windows) or /home/dan/sap/dlclient (for Linux) and install all the features. Choosing a similarly structured path will ensure a smooth experience throughout the tutorial and help reduce issues with paths.

      GUI Installer

      Console mode installer on Linux

      Product Features

      Follow the remaining prompts to finish the installation.

    5. The installation location can be referenced through an environment variable.

    • On Microsoft Windows, open a new command prompt window and run the following to see the installation location.

      Shell (Windows)
      Copy
      ECHO %IQDIR17%
      
    • On Linux, this environment variable and others are set in a file named IQ.sh. Configure it to be run each time the Bash shell is started by referencing it in .bash_profile or possibly .bashrc.

      Open the .bash_profile.

      Shell (Linux)
      Copy
      pico ~/.bash_profile
      

      This tutorial uses notepad and pico as default text editors, but any text editor will do.
      Pico can be installed on SUSE Linux with

      Shell (Linux SUSE)
      Copy
      sudo zypper install pico
      

      Add the following line to point to the location where the SAP data lake client is installed.

      Shell (Linux) .bash_profile
      Copy
      source /path-to-data-lake-install/IQ.sh
      

      Test the change by running:

      Shell (Linux)
      Copy
      source ~/.bash_profile
      

      The following command should display the install location of the data lake client.

      Shell (Linux)
      Copy
      echo $IQDIR17
      

      In the case that the Data Lake Client needs to be uninstalled, run the uninstall.exe file located in the directory /path-to-data-lake-install/sybuninstall/IQClientSuite/.


      If the installation fails on Linux due to an InvocationTargetException, try installing Java first before proceeding with the installation again.

  • Step 8

    The data lake client install includes dbisql Interactive SQL Utility, which can be used to connect and query a data lake Relational Engine. The following steps will provide instructions on how to connect to the data lake Relational Engine using DBISQL and then populate the previously created tables with sample data.

    1. Start the GUI version of DBISQL by searching from the Microsoft Windows Start menu. It can also be accessed by entering dbisql in the command prompt.

      If the error “This file could not be found: java” occurs, follow the instructions below.

      • Download and install SAP JVM 8.0

        Shell (Linux)
        Copy
        unzip sapjvm-8.1.102-linux-x64.zip
        mv ./sapjvm_8 ~/
        
      • Add the following to your bashrc.

        Shell (Linux)
        Copy
        export JAVA_HOME=~/sapjvm_8
        export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
        
      • Apply and test the changes.

        Shell (Linux)
        Copy
        source ~/.bashrc
        java -version
        dbisql
        

      If a further error occurs such as libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file, install the missing components.

      ```Shell (Linux)
      sudo zypper install libXext6
      sudo zypper install libXrender1
      sudo zypper install libXtst6
      sudo zypper install libXi6
      ```
      
    2. Specify the connection type.

      Connection type

      The Connect window may appear enlarged on the screen. This can be adjusted by lowering the Scale and layout value in the device display settings.

    3. Provide the connection details. See below on how to obtain the instance ID and landscape values.

      instance ID and landscape

      SAP HANA Cloud Central can be used to get the instance ID and landscape value. The landscape value can be obtained from the SQL Endpoint by removing the instance ID from the start and port number from the end.

      copy sql endpoint

      A failure to connect could be caused by the allowed connections list, which is editable in SAP HANA Cloud Central.

      DBISQL Connected

      DBISQL can also be started without a GUI.

      Shell (Windows)
      Copy
      dbisql -c "uid=USER1;pwd=Password1;host=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.iq.hdl.xxxx-xxxx.hanacloud.ondemand.com:443;ENC=TLS(tls_type=rsa;direct=yes)" -nogui
      

      In a Bash shell, strings in double quotes versus single quotes are treated differently.

      Shell (Linux)
      Copy
      dbisql -c 'uid=USER1;pwd=Password1;host=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.iq.hdl.trial-XXXX.hanacloud.ondemand.com:443;ENC=TLS(tls_type=rsa;direct=yes)' -nogui
      

      NOTE:-If you encounter the error message “error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory,” you will need to install libnsl.so.1.

      DBISQL connected nogui
  • Step 9
    1. Execute the following insert statements to provide some sample data.

      If you do not wish to use the GUI mode, paste the insert statements into a file first and then run dbisql -c "uid..." sql.sql.

      SQL
      Copy

      Additional details on the SQL used above can be found at INSERT Statement for Data Lake Relational Engine. Moreover, the LOAD TABLE Statement for Data Lake Relational Engine can be used for efficient mass insertion into a database table from a file with ASCII or binary data.

      Autocommit is set to on in the SQL console of the database explorer, while in DBISQL it is set to off. A series of insert statements will run quicker in the SQL console if they are surrounded with begin and end or if autocommit is set to off.

      SQL
      Copy
      begin
      INSERT INTO HOTELS.ROOM VALUES(11, 'double', 13, 190.00);
      INSERT INTO HOTELS.ROOM VALUES(11, 'single', 15, 175.00);
      end;
      
      SQL
      Copy
      set temporary option auto_commit= 'off';
      INSERT INTO HOTELS.ROOM VALUES(11, 'triple', 7, 235.00);
      INSERT INTO HOTELS.ROOM VALUES(11, 'quad', 5, 275.00);
      set temporary option auto_commit= 'on';
      

      Autocommit can also be set via the connection settings dialog.

    2. Notice that pressing ctrl-space brings up auto complete (GUI mode only).

      auto complete

      Query a table, a view, invoke a function, and call a stored procedure.

      SQL
      Copy
      SET SCHEMA HOTELS;
      SELECT * FROM HOTEL;
      SELECT * FROM HOTEL_ROOMS_VIEW;
      SELECT AVERAGE_PRICE('single'), AVERAGE_PRICE('double'), AVERAGE_PRICE('suite') FROM DUMMY;
      CALL SHOW_RESERVATIONS(11, '2020-12-24');
      
      Query in DBISQL
    3. DBISQL can also execute SQL from the command line or from a provided file. A few examples are shown below.

      Shell
      Copy
      dbisql -c "uid=USER1;pwd=Password1;host=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.iq.hdl.trial-XXXX.hanacloud.ondemand.com:443;ENC=TLS(tls_type=rsa;direct=yes)" "select * from HOTELS.CUSTOMER;"
      dbisql -c "uid=USER1;pwd=Password1;host=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.iq.hdl.trial-XXXX.hanacloud.ondemand.com:443;ENC=TLS(tls_type=rsa;direct=yes)" sql.sql
      
      DBISQL in batch mode
