HANA client version update

Former Member — Thu, 29 Aug 2019 06:44:40 GMT

I want to update HANA client version. We have 1 DB host and one application host (both on SLES). Where I need to update the client version ? On DB host, application host or both? Also, is a restart (application or DB ) restart is also required after the HANA client upgrade. We are having SQLDBC client

Thanks Shabeer for this blog but I know the client update process. I am not sure about the below 2 questions:

1. We have 1 DB host and one application host (both on SLES). Where I need to update the client version ? On DB host, application host or both?

2. Is a restart (application or DB ) restart is also required after the HANA client upgrade

2. We updated during an outage

Hi Abhishek Singh,

You would have to apply the Hana Client upgrade patch for both DB & Application. Its because, if you browse in /sapmnt/<SID>/global/ there over you will have the hana client installation folder, which would be updated with your Hana client upgrade

You can also check the below,

A demonstration of Tutorial for Windows & Mac are also provided from SAP for free in below,

So you if are aware of what is your current version & what is your target client version, we can also give more lights there too
