Issues with finding/downloading Geo-spatial Files from SAP Market place as mentioned in SAP Spatial Reference Guide(Section 4.3.1)

[balwant108]

Dear Experts,

I am trying to build a GIS application and as a first step I am looking to download files for Additional Services from SAP Support Portal as per SAP Spatial Reference Guide  (section 4.3.1)

I could only find “Map Client” in SAP download center in SAP Marketplace URL and was unable to find “Content Viewer”, “GAB” and “POC” (obviously w/o quotes ).While one of my friend working with SAP (Direct Employee to SAP) could locate all these 3 mentioned files using his credentials.Can it be a user licensing issue (then how come SAP Spatial Reference Guide mentions it as freely available for download?) as none from my company can find these 3 files available for download?.How do we solve this issue?.

- "Map Client" Download the HCOSPATIALMAPC00_0-.ZIP file
- "Content Viewer" Download the HCOSPATIALCV00_0-.ZIP file
- "GAB" (Generalized Administration Boundaries)
- "POC" (Postal Codes)

Below is the extract from section 4.3.1 (SAP spatial reference guide):

In the SAP Software Download Center, you can access content for the additional services for SAP HANA Spatial.

1. Call a Web browser.
2. Open the SAP Software Download Center.
3. Choose Search for Software.
4. Search for and download the following objects:

○ "Map Client" Download the HCOSPATIALMAPC00_0-.ZIP file and unpack it.

Put the HCOSPATIALMAPC.tgz file on your client so that you can import it using the SAP HANA studio.

○ "Content Viewer" Download the HCOSPATIALCV00_0-.ZIP file and unpack it. Put the HCOSPATIALCV.tgz file on your client so that you can import it using the SAP HANA studio.

○ "GAB" (Generalized Administration Boundaries) Download the .SAR files that you need and unpack them. Put the CSV files on the SAP HANA host, where you can import them into the SAP HANA database.

○ "POC" (Postal Codes) Download the .SAR files that you need and unpack them. Put the shapefiles on the SAP HANA host, where you can import them into the SAP HANA database. In addition to the unpacked shapefiles for POC, you will also find product guides and release notes for the unpacked

Got the answer it clearly looks to be a licensing issue,as per SAP Note 2091935 and 2091815 (SAP HANA Options which includes Hana Spatial has to be brought separately with the HANA base edition ) .Also read URL http://help.sap.com/hana_options
