PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 SAP HANA User Guide

Discover an SAP HANA application host

After you register an application host with PowerProtect Data Manager, you can use the Asset Sources window to discover an application host and modify the application host credentials. For application hosts, discovery is required if you want to schedule a backup. You must add credentials to the SAP HANA database so that PowerProtect Data Manager can access the database to create backups.

1. Select Infrastructure > Asset Sources.
   The Asset Sources window appears.
2. Select the SAP HANA tab.
3. If you are adding an SAP HANA database, select the host entry and click Edit Credentials.
   The Edit Credential dialog appears.
4. If you select User Name/Password for Authentication, specify the SYSTEM user's credentials. If the credentials belong to the SYSTEMDB database, select the System Database check box.

   If you select User Key for Authentication, specify the credentials of the OS user associated with the database instance. If the credentials belong to the SYSTEMDB database, select the System Database check box.

   The following figure shows the fields for adding the required credentials.

   

5. Click Save.
   An entry for the application host with the specified information appears as an entry in a table on the Asset Sources window.
   Discovery time is based on networking bandwidth. The resources that are discovered and those that are doing the discovery take a performance hit each time that you go through a discovery process. It might appear that PowerProtect Data Manager is not updating the Asset Sources data.
   NOTE Click Discover at any time if any additions or other changes to your Asset Sources have taken place outside of the PowerProtect Data Manager environment. You can initiate a full discovery of assets by selecting the Initiate a Full Discovery option.
