The HLM is a tool that enables flexible customizations of an existing SAP HANA system. You can review the examples of SAP HANA reference operation scenarios in the guide, and use them to define your own scenarios. For more information about the SAP HANA reference operation scenarios, see Managing the Lifecycle of SAP HANA in this guide. The current section focuses on how to prepare the tool for initial usage.
2.1 Getting Started with SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager in the Available Working Modes
This section provides instructions on how to ensure you have the SAP HANA lifecycle manager available on your SAP HANA system. The necessary preparation steps for each available working mode are described in a separate topic. There are three available working modes for the SAP HANA lifecycle manager: Using SAP HANA studio Using the command line Using a standalone browser
2.1.1 Using SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager Through SAP HANA Studio
This section provides information on how to use the SAP HANA lifecycle manager (HLM) through the SAP HANA studio.
Context
Keep in mind that, to work with the HLM, you need to make certain configuration settings for the SAP HANA studio. There are also certain browser restrictions. For more information, seeSetting up the SAP HANA Studio [page 11]. Keep in mind that Lifecycle Management perspective in the SAP HANA studio requires version of Java Virtual Machine equal or higher to 1.6.0_12. The figure below shows how to ensure you have the HLM, which you intend to use through the SAP HANA studio.
SAP HANA Update and Configuration Guide Preparing SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager
The figure above is described in the following procedure: 1. Install/update to the latest available SAP HANA studio. You need SAP HANA studio revision 60 as a minimum. For more information, see SAP HANA Studio Installation and Update Guide. Add the SAP HANA system, if it has not already been added. To do this, call the context menu in the SAP HANA Systems view and choose Add System. Alternatively, you can use the SAP HANA studio that is installed by default on the SAP HANA system in /hana/shared/<SID>/hdbstudio. In that SAP HANA studio, call the context menu for the selected SAP HANA system, and choose Lifecycle Management. In the SAP HANA studio, call the context menu for the selected SAP HANA system, and choose Lifecycle Management. If the editor opens and you see the SAP HANA lifecycle manager, you already have the HLM installed and running in the back end. You can continue and use the HLM. If you do not see the HLM editor, check if your browser is HTML 5-enabled. You need as a minimum Internet Explorer version 9 or Firefox version 13. Check if the HLM is installed. If it is, see the Troubleshooting section in the guide. For more information, see Troubleshooting [page 34]. If the tool is not installed, continue with this procedure.

Using Required Browsers

Direct access to the SAP HANA lifecycle manager is only possible using SAP HANA studio, which is only compatible with certain web browser versions. For Microsoft Windows, you need Internet Explorer version 9 or above. If you are running Internet Explorer version 9, make sure that your browser is not running in compatibility mode with your SAP HANA host. You can check this in your browser by choosing Tools ->Compatibility View settings. For Linux, you need XULRunner 1.9.2 or newer. We recommend that you install XULRunner 1.9.2 (or above) separately but if you have already installed Firefox 3.6 (or above), it contains XULRunner 1.9.2. The system propertyorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath should be set in hdbstudio.ini to point to the path of XULRunner, for example: -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.2.13. This hdbstudio.ini file is located in the same folder as the executable that is used to start the SAP HANA studio (including the SAP HANA Update UI). For Linux, the default location is /hana/shared/<SID>/hdbstudio, or /usr/sap/hdbstudio for older versions.
Note
Keep in mind that the HLM engine updates the SAP HANA studio repository (update site), not the SAP HANA studio itself. More information about how to update the SAP HANA studio itself is provided at the end of the SAP HANA system update procedure, when you perform this step.
Configuring the connection to SAP Service Marketplace Using the Lifecycle Management Perspective

Hybrid SAP HANA scenario. This scenario is a combination of the two scenarios above. It provides more flexibility and customization in relatively complex SAP HANA scenarios. The figure below provides an example of a scenario of this type:
3.2 Configuring SAP HANA with SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager

You can use the SAP HANA lifecycle manager to customize your SAP HANA system. You can do so after the initial installation with the SAP HANA unified installer is finished. The sections that follow describe how to use the SAP HANA lifecycle manager user interface. For more information about using the command line interface, see the dedicated section that describes this working mode, where you can find instructions on how to display the help and on how to review the available options.
3.2.1
Context
Renaming an SAP HANA System
You can use the rename feature to: Change the SID, instance number, and host name Change the system administrator password Change the database user password
Make sure you meet the following prerequisites:
16
The target system ID (SID) must not exist. The target instance number must not exist. The root password is not mandatory because if a trusted connection is available, the password is not needed. The <sapsid>adm user password must contain only ASCII symbols and be at least 8 characters long, and must contain at least one digit, one lowercase character, and one uppercase character. Only the following three special characters are allowed: $ _ #.
If you change the database SYSTEM password you should not use any of the last five used passwords.
Note
If you rename an SAP HANA system, this normally invalidates the permanent SAP license. You therefore need to reinstall the SAP license. For more information about how to install the license key, see the SAP HANA Database Administration Guide at http://help.sap.com/hana. We strongly recommend not to perform a SAP HANA system rename using SAP HANA studio belonging to this SAP HANA system (under /hana/shared/<SID>/hdbstudio), as this could lead to inconsistency. To rename your SAP HANA system, follow the procedure below. If you specify the host name, make sure that it is fully qualified, such as myhost.sap.com (not just myhost).
Procedure
1. 2. 3. Open the SAP HANA lifecycle manager user interface. Choose Rename SAP HANA System. Specify the required entries by following the instructions in the wizard.
Example
You can also rename your SAP HANA system using command line. For more information about this mode, see Using SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager in Command Line Mode [page 8]. You can also review the following example: --sid $SID --target_sid $RENAMED_SID --sidadm_pwd ******** --target_password ******** --number $RENAMED_INSTANCE_NUMBER --hostname $RENAMED_HOSTNAME" An automatic rename and move (mv) of data and log path is also supported in the SAP HANA lifecycle manager rename process , if <SID> is detected by the tool in data or log path. For example, an automatic rename of data and log paths would be performed for source system id DEL and target system id P01, as follows: /hana/data/DEL -> /hana/data/P01 /hana/log/DEL -> /hana/log/P01
Note
An automatic rename would be performed if there is only one occurrence of <SID> in the absolute path of data and log volume paths.
PUBLIC
17
For example, if data path = /hana/<SID>/data/<SID> no automatic rename would be executed. Also if an automatic rename is to be performed the target values for data and log path are resolved and presented in the respective user interface page of SAP HANA lifecycle manager. Validation for existence of these folders would not be performed, because these would be created by SAP HANA lifecycle manager during automatic rename.
3.2.2 Configuring SAP Landscape Transformation Replication

This section provides information about how to configure SAP Landscape Transformation (LT) Replication.
Context
SAP LT Replication Server is an SAP system that facilitates the replication of data from one or more source systems to one or more target systems. The source systems can be SAP or non-SAP systems. In the SAP HANA lifecycle manager, the process Configure SAP Landscape Transformation (LT) Replication is used to perform the post-installation configuration of the SAP LT Replication Server. As described in the Installation Guide of the SAP LT Replication Server, the following post-installation configuration steps typically need to be performed: Creation of a user with the required role on the SAP source system Creation of a type 3 (ABAP) RFC destination on the SAP LT Replication Server, which connects to the SAP source system Activation of ICF and Web Dynpro services
The process automates the post-installation configuration steps after obtaining the required input from the end user in consecutive steps. The process currently only automates the configuration of one SAP source system at a time . To use this feature, follow the procedure below:

PUBLIC
Context
Prerequisites For information about performing a distributed system installation, see Performing a Distributed System Installation (Optional) in the SAP HANA Server Installation Guide.
Note
Before you extend a single host system to multi host system, make sure that you have configured the communication settings for internal network security. By default, for a single host system, network ports are configured to listen only on the system loopback address and this needs to be changed. In order to configure SAP HANA to listen on all network interfaces, log on to your master host as sidadm and perform the following command: hdbnsutil reconfig hostnameResolution=global More options for internal network security configurations are available in the SAP HANA Security Guide. Ensure that the sapsys user group exists and has the same ID on all hosts . On the secondary (additional) hosts, install the SAP Host Agent using the rpm package on the DVD. On the primary host, it is installed by SAP HANA unified installer. The additional hosts require an SAP Host Agent with a minimum version of 153.
Procedure
1. 2. Open the SAP HANA lifecycle manager user interface. Choose Add Additional Host (or Remove Additional Host). Choose Next to continue. When adding an additional host, you need to specify what its role is: worker or standby. Before removing a host from SAP HANA lifecycle manager, you need to select this host from the Landscape tab of the system administration panel in the SAP HANA studio. From the context menu of the selected host, choose Remove Host. This is a prerequisite for removing a host in all working modes of SAP HANA lifecycle manager. 3. Specify the required entries.
Note
To ensure that you can recover your system to a point in time after you added the host, we recommend that you stop productive operations until you have added the host and performed a new, complete data backup.
Note
After you remove a host from your system, you must perform a data backup to ensure that you can recover the database to a point in time after you removed the host. When you remove a host you also need to choose Remove Host from the Administration panel of the SAP HANA studio Related Information

3.3 Updating an SAP HANA System with the SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager
You can perform an automated update of an SAP HANA system with the SAP HANA lifecycle manager. The update use cases are applying Support Package Stacks (SPS) for SAP HANA and applying Single Support Packages for SAP HANA. The necessary update content can be provided to the SAP HANA lifecycle manager in the following ways: If the SAP HANA appliance has Internet access, the SAP HANA lifecycle manager can find and download available updates from SAP Service Marketplace. In this case, you can update your SAP HANA system without leaving the SAP HANA studio. This is described in the section Performing an Automated Update. If the SAP HANA appliance does not have Internet access, you can find and download the updates manually from SAP Service Marketplace. In this case, you have to provide the location of the downloaded content to the SAP HANA lifecycle manager for SAP HANA. This is described in the section Performing an Automated Update. If you have SAP Solution Manager, you can use it to update your SAP HANA system like other SAP systems in your landscape. In this case, you have to register your SAP HANA system using the System Landscape Directory (SLD). For more information, see Configuring an SAP HANA System to Connect to the System Landscape Directory [page 19]. Once this configuration is performed, the SAP HANA database server will regularly update the SLD with data about your SAP HANA system. Afterwards, SAP Solution Manager can access this data to calculate updates for this system. You can then use the Maintenance Optimizer (MOPZ) in SAP Solution Manager to generate an SPS and download the necessary archives to a specified location. For more information, see SAP Solution Manager documentation. You can then provide the SPS location to the SAP HANA lifecycle manager and it will apply it on the system.
24
Prerequisites for SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager

In the SAP HANA system, the following prerequisites have to be fulfilled: If you intend to execute the use case with Internet access, perform the following configuration. The SAP HANA system needs access to the SAP Service Marketplace using HTTPS, unless you have already downloaded and copied the target stack to your SAP HANA system. For more information about using HTTPS to connect to SAP Service Marketplace, see: Setting Up the SAP HANA Studio.
Caution
S-User is required For more information about downloading the required content if you do not use SAP Service Marketplace, see step 2 of Performing an Automated Update. You have stopped the data replication before you start the automated update. You have performed a system backup before you start the automated update. Also note that during the automated update there is a business downtime for your SAP HANA system. You know the <SID>adm, sapadm, and database administrator passwords. Keep in mind that sapadm password is not controlled by SAP HANA installation or SAP HANA lifecycle manager. It should be maintained on OS level. You have applied a valid license key to the SAP HANA system. The SAP HANA database is up and running. The SAP Host Agent is up and running.
3.3.1
Performing an Automated Update
You can perform an automated update of SAP HANA using the SAP HANA lifecycle manager (HLM) user interface (which you can access using the SAP HANA studio or in a standalone browser), or with the command line interface. More information and examples for the command line you can find at the end of this topic. To perform an automated update using the HLM user interface, typically through SAP HANA studio, follow the procedure below:
Procedure
1. In your SAP HANA studio, add the system to which you want to connect.
Note
Use the fully qualified host name for all configuration actions (including Add System). 2. In the context menu of the system node in the SAP HANA Systems view, choose Lifecycle Management. If you have not previously defined them, you need to enter the user credentials for <SID>adm when you call the SAP HANA lifecycle manager user interface for a specific SAP HANA system for the first time. The following users and settings are needed:
PUBLIC
25
User <SID>adm You need to enter the user and password when calling the SAP HANA Update user interface for the first time. You can change the user and password in the context menu for the added system under SAP System Logon Secure Storage . . Windows Preferences General Security You can delete the user and password under Properties
On the HLM user interface, you can choose the following options in the Update SAP HANA System field: Update SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager (HLM) We strongly recommend that you execute the tool self-update using the Update SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager user interface option. Keep in mind that if you do not have Internet access (for example, for security reasons), you need to select Manually downloaded content as the source, and you need to have the relevant file already available. You can download the newest archive available for this file, SAPHANALM*.SAR, in advance. You have to download SAPHANALM*.SAR separately using the following link in the SAP Service Marketplace: http://service.sap.com/swdc -> Support Packages and Patches-> Search for Support Packages and Patches, where you need to search for <HANA Lifecycle Manager>. Note that you need to provide the full path to the file, not the containing directory. If you have Internet access, the self-update of the HLM can be executed automatically when you choose the Update SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager (HLM) option. In this case, the SAP HANA studio needs to be configured to work properly with SAP Service Marketplace. Apply Support Package Stack (SPS - recommended scenario) You can update all software components of SAP products that are deployed on the system by applying a support package stack. Support package stacks are collections of support packages for software components defined by SAP that work best together. With this scenario, you can execute an update to a set of SAP HANA components defined by the SPS. This scenario ensures smooth and consistent update. Apply Single Support Packages (Single SP) If you want to update only particular software components that are deployed on the system and do not want to apply complete support package stacks, you can apply single support packages. The user interface will provide information about installed components versions, as well the newer (target) ones that are available. You can select the component version to which you want to update. If you have selected SAP Service Marketplace as an update source, the SAP HANA lifecycle manager offers updates only for components that are part of the SAP HANA product.
After you have selected the update scenario (apply SPS or Single SP), you need to select the source for the update from the Select the update source field: Automatically downloaded content (SAP Service Marketplace) The content is automatically downloaded from SAP Service Marketplace. In this case, SAP Service Marketplace offers new SP versions, not Single SPs. Manually downloaded content In this case, you need to manually download the following files to any directory accessible by the <SID> adm user in the SAP HANA system: Stack.xml file XML file containing a model of SAP HANA in the form of product instances, components, and their versions.
26
IMDB_SERVER*.SAR, IMDB_CLIENT*.SAR, IMC_STUDIO*.SAR, HANALDCTR*.SAR (optionally, if you need it), SAPHOSTAGENT*.SAR archives containing new content needed for the update of the SAP HANA instances.
When updating to an SPS, you can download the files listed above from the SAP Service Marketplace at: http://service.sap.com/swdc -> Support Packages and Patches-> Browse our Download Catalog -> SAP NetWeaver and complementary products -> SAP HANA -> SAP HANA Platform Edition ->Support Package Stack Download. When updating to a Single SP (this means different components' versions) use: http://service.sap.com/swdc -> Support Packages and Patches-> Search for Support Packages and Patches >Search for IMDB Server for example. Make sure you do the same for the required archives, depending on the component you want to update (IMDB_SERVER*.SAR, IMDB_CLIENT*.SAR, IMC_STUDIO*.SAR, HANALDCTR*.SAR, SAPHOSTAGENT*.SAR). When downloading your preferred version, make sure that the selected archive is suitable for your operating system. All archives must be located in the same directory as the stack.xml file. For information about using the Maintenance Optimizer (MOPZ) in SAP Solution Manager to generate an SPS and download the necessary archives, see SAP Solution Manager documentation. 3. 4. 5. 6. During the update, if you are prompted for them, enter the user name and password for the <SID>adm. Select the proposed software releases. Follow the instructions of the wizard. If you want to update your SAP HANA studio to the same version as your SAP HANA system, you need to refer to the corresponding documentation. For more information, see SAP HANA Database - Studio Installation and Update Guide.

3.3.2 Performing an Automated Update in a Distributed System and in a Landscape with Multiple SAP HANA Systems
Prerequisites You can use the SAP HANA lifecycle manager to update a distributed system (one SID on multiple hosts). For more information about how to install a distributed system, see Adding Hosts to and Removing Hosts from an Existing SAP HANA System [page 22]. This section provides additional details when you have a distributed SAP HANA landscape. In a landscape of this type, you have one primary SAP HANA host and several secondary SAP HANA hosts. Depending on your SAP Host Agent version, for each host of the distributed system, you might need to enter the SAP <SID>adm password in the user interface. You can also use the SAP HANA lifecycle manager in the case of additionally-added SAP HANA systems on a single SAP HANA appliance (multiple SIDs on one host). In this case, the tool updates only one SID. For more information about how to create such system, see Adding Additional SAP HANA Systems on a Single SAP HANA Appliance [page 21].

4 Managing SAP HANA Components and Application Content

This section provides information about how to manage additional SAP HANA components and applications.
4.1 Adding Application Function Libraries on an SAP HANA System

This section describes how to add an Application Function Library (AFL) using the SAP HANA lifecycle manager. The AFL archive should be owned by the root user.
Procedure
To add an AFL using the SAP HANA lifecycle manager user interface, follow the procedure below: 1. 2. 3. Open the SAP HANA lifecycle manager user interface. Choose Add Application Functional Library (AFL). Specify the required entries by following the instructions in the wizard.
4.2 Performing Automated Updates for Application Function Libraries (AFLs)

AFLs are not installed by default on your SAP HANA system. They can be added only with the SAP HANA lifecycle manager. For more information, see Adding Application Function Libraries on an SAP HANA System [page 29]. This also means that you do not receive AFLs when you perform an automated update of your SAP HANA system to a higher Support Package Stack (SPS) or Single Support Package, either. You need to add them with the SAP HANA lifecycle manager, and you can then update them using the general update options, either using SPS, or Single Support Packages. For more information about these options, see Performing an Automated Update [page 25].
Note
The AFL component should have the same version as the SAP HANA DATABASE component. This leads to the following possible variants: Patch SAP HANA AFLs to a higher patch number within the same SP (revision) Update both SAP HANA AFLs and SAP HANA DATABASE to higher SP (revision)
SAP HANA Update and Configuration Guide Managing SAP HANA Components and Application Content
PUBLIC
29
The SAP HANA lifecycle manager will not allow you to update SAP HANA AFLs and SAP HANA DATABASE to different SP (revision) numbers. To perform an update of AFLs, follow the procedure below: 1. 2. 3. 4. Follow the procedure in Performing an Automated Update [page 25] until step 4. Select the update source and browse to the location of the AFL. Once the components' versions are displayed, including the version of the AFL, choose the <Run> button. For some of the components you have the option to skip the update. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
Note
Keep in mind that, after AFLs are updated, the SAP HANA database server is restarted.
4.3 Adding SAP liveCache Applications on an SAP HANA System

You can add SAP liveCache applications (SAP LCA) using the SAP HANA lifecycle manager. This is currently only supported for the integrated SAP liveCache, single-host scenario. The SAP LCA archive should be owned by the root user.

Troubleshooting
Main Log File for SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager

The main log file in which issues are recorded is /usr/sap/hlm_bootstraps/<sid>/HLM/log/hlm.log. The log file with more technical information is /usr/sap/hlm_bootstraps/<sid>/HLM/log/ljs.log.
Main Log File for SAP HANA Studio

The SAP HANA studio has a dedicated view for errors - <Error Log> view. You can find the same information in the following file: <user_home_dir>/hdbstudio/.metadata/.log.
Central SAP Note

You can also refer to the central SAP HANA lifecycle manager (HLM) SAP Note 1820588. For more information about how HLM replaces SUM for SAP HANA, see SAP Note 1836498.
Important Notes
Note
Keep in mind that if you use SUM for HANA, in all versions after Single SP 03 for SPS 05, the system directory structure of the SAP HANA system is changed, and the SAP HANA client, SAP HANA studio, SAP HANA studio repository, and lm_structure file are moved under the /hana/shared/<SID> directory. This is also relevant for SAP HANA lifecycle manager SPS 06. For example: /hana/shared/<SID>/hdbclient /hana/shared/<SID>/hdbstudio /hana/shared/<SID>/hdbstudio_update /hana/shared/<SID>/lm_structure
All new SAP HANA system installations after Single SP 03 for SPS 05 use the new system directory structure.
34
SAP HANA Update and Configuration Guide Troubleshooting
Updating of SAP HANA Systems Older than SPS 06 (Enterprise and Enterprise Extended Editions) to SAP HANA SPS 06
Since SPS 06 SAP HANA systems can be only Platform edition. You have the following cases: Updating from SAP HANA SPS 05 Enterprise edition to SAP HANA SPS 06. In this case you need to use the SAP HANA On-Site Configuration tool to change the SAP HANA edition to Platform. Updating from a version prior to SAP HANA SPS 05. You also need to change the system edition to Platform. In this case, refer to the following SAP Note:1794465.
Problems Using the SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager:

You can use the following CSN component for error messages BC-DB-HDB-HLM. If SAP HANA Lifecycle manager (HLM) is not installed on the SAP HANA system, download latest version of HLM from SAP Service Marketplace (SMP). Extract archive on temporary folder, using SAPCAR. Start installation of HLM, using <extracted_hlm>/hdbinst s <SID_ID> SAP HANA database versions before revision 20 do not support direct update to the latest revision. In such cases first update your SAP HANA database to revision 20. If you receive a message saying that you are unable to connect to SAP HANA lifecycle manager, make sure you add the SAP HANA system using its fully qualified name. For Windows operating system (OS), we recommend you to use SAP HANA studio working mode. In case of problems, you can use the standalone browser working mode as a workaround. We recommend you not to use SUM and HLM at the same time, as this could lead to inconsistency. If your SAP HANA studio does not start check the version of installed XULRunner. Open hdbstudio.ini file and add the following row: If you have a version lower than 1.9.2, you have to set the correct version: -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=<xulrunner path>/<xulrunner version> To refresh the Lifecycle Management perspective, close it and start it again. We recommend that you restart the perspective in situations where the executed scenario UI does not react as expected. Or in case you see a blank screen in the place of the scenario UI, from its context menu choose Refresh. The system reloads the scenario UI. In situations where you get a system message like Cannot start new operation. Operation 'XXX' is already running., you will only be able to restart and reconnect to the SAP HANA Lifecycle manager once the specified operation has ended. Unable to start SAP HANA lifecycle manager from SAP HANA studio Check in the error log if the following error occurred: com.sap.ndb.studio.lcm.upd.ui.hostcontrol.ex.SAPHostControlException: Could not check credentials provided for user <user> on host <host> com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException: HTTP transport error: java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong: should be <host> The reason could be that the provided host name, when the system is added in the SAP HANA studio does not match the host name in the generated certificate. In order to solve this issue, check the host in the certificate and add the system in SAP HANA studio with the same host name. In order to check the certificate, connect to SAP HANA lifecycle manager via standalone browser. For more information, see Using SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager in Standalone Browser Mode [page 9]. Keep in mind that you can only work with one HLM at a time in a defined host landscape. Using more than one HLM simultaneously, could lead to inconsistency and errors.
PUBLIC
35
If you open SAP HANA lifecycle manager editor and execute an operation, it will continuously use the focus from the other views or editors in the studio, even if the editor is not currently visible. Wait for the operation to finish before using the other SAP HANA studio functionality. If you want to use the SAP HANA studio while the operation is running start SAP HANA lifecycle manager outside the SAP HANA studio, using HTML5enabled browser. For more information, seeUsing SAP HANA Lifecycle Manager in Standalone Browser Mode [page 9]. If you use HLM through SAP HANA studio, and if HLM does not start from the first time, you need to try starting it again. This is a known issue relevant for SAP Host Agent version 152. In the upcoming versions this issue will be fixed.
