In only a few short support stack (SPS) releases, the SAP HANA lifecycle management tool set has drastically grown to encompass a plethora of tools and features, including: installation, configuration, and update. Prior to the most recent SPS 07 release of SAP HANA, the unified installer was the tool available to streamline server and component installation, all at one fell swoop. For a straight-forward installation, the unified installer was a worthy installation tool, however when the need to customize individual components arose, the unified installer offered less than optimal flexibility.
Enter hdblcm(gui). The successor to the unified installer doesn’t have a snazzy name, but what it lacks in pomp and circumstance, it more than makes up for in functionality. The new SPS 07 installation tool is actually a pair of installation tools – hdblcm for CLI and hdblcmgui for GUI – which provides a unified interface to reduce installation complexity, but offers the flexibility to mix and match components and versions. They are positioned as part of the SAP HANA lifecycle management tools family, which includes seasoned favorites such as the SAP HANA lifecycle manager (HLM), hdbinst, and hdbsetup.
