Intro
The server machine in these instructions refers to the laptop on which SAP HANA 2.0, express edition is installed, while client machine refers to your local machine. You do not need to install the two on the same machine or VM.
The clients let you access SAP HANA 2.0, express edition, from your client machine. This is the Reduced SAP Client package.
The clients included with the SAP HANA HDB client software package are:
JDBC
ODBC
SQLDBC
ODBO/MDXPython (
PyDBAPI)ADO.NET
Install the Download Manager to your client machine and download the client package.
Save the Download Manager installation files to your client machine and open it. For instructions on downloading and running the Download Manager, see either the Installing SAP HANA 2.0, express edition (Binary Installer Method) or Installing SAP HANA 2.0, express edition (Virtual Machine Method) tutorials, or go straight to the SAP HANA, express edition registration page.
