Hi Ravi,
I am trying to add the system but it is not getting an error as “The hostname ‘hanasvr-10’ is unknown”. I even tried to login with my Sandbox hostname and instance even i get the same error. I am struck in the 1st screen. Please advise.
Hi Shwetha,
Could you please check once again your host name and instance number. You have to enter the host name which you have received from SAP.
Regards,
Ravi K Chandragiri
Hi Ravi,
Thanks for replying. I have checked the host name and instance number but it is still giving the same error.
I am following the below steps
Launch Hana Studio > Go to administrative console > Right click on Navigation Pane and create a folder > Right again and choose Select system.
Here I am trying the hostname and instance name as “The hostname ‘hanasvr-01’ is unknown”.
I am trying this on my personal laptop with Win 7 and also on a XP VM still getting the same. Will that make a difference??
It works on Cloud Share remote system. According to me, it does not work when you install the Studio in your personal system and try to connect it. It works on Cloudshare system.
Are you sure? We have Hana client and Studio setups available for download and installation. Cloudshare already has Hana installed so no reason why we need to install again. Please advise even the step-by-setp document which was given was installed on Win XP with Studio.
Q: Can I connect to the HANA sandbox without using the cloud-hosted client system?
No. The only allowed access to the HANA Developer Center landscape is via the cloud-hosted client systems hosted by Cloudshare.
Hi Ravi,
do you have some exact script, which will recreate a copy of the system user with all system and SQL privileges?
Thanks, Krisztian
Hi Ravi,
I created trial account given by SAP for 30 days on Cloudshare.
I downloaded HANA Studio on my Local system, and trying to do ‘Add System’ so that i can connect to trail cloudshare account and practice HANA DB.
When i selected ‘Add System’ it is asking me INSTANCE NAME, what should be this name ?
If i give some dummy name, its not connecting to cloudshare account, please guide.
Hi Azmath,
Once you registerd, you will get an email from sap which contains all the details for 30 days trail.
So you have to add system using those details and it will not accept dummy instance id’s.
Thank you.

Very useful info for beginners. Thank you for sharing.
I have further questions about “Step by step procedure to Add or to create a System on SAP HANA Studio?“.
After open SAP HANA Studio, under “Administration Console” perspective, appears “SAP HANA Systems” view, instead of Navigator view. But, can Right-click on the “SAP HANA Systems” view and select “Add System…”, then come to “Step 4: Please specify the Host Name, Instance Number and Description as shown given below.“
Regards,
Beiwei
The HostName is the direction where the HANA system has been installed. In the same way, you define the instance number during the installation.
The description is just an input field. You can put something there or not.
Thank you, José!
Further questions: What do you mean by “HANA system”? (I just installed SAP HANA Studio.)
With HANA system I mean a HANA appliance. The HANA DB and all that stuff.
You just use the HANA Studio to connect to that system. It doesn’t means that you have installed HANA when you install the HANA Studio.
Thank you.
How can I install HANA system and where to find the software?
Look for in the SAP MarketPlace. There, you will find the documentation and the software.
Thank you for all the info and help.
Hi Jose,
While adding hana system, its asking for host name and instance, what is host and instance and where could i get it?
Hi Mubarak,
Host: this is the Unix Server which Hana is running on
(you can ask your Basis Team for this information)
Instance: this is the Hana Instance
(you can ask your Basis Team for this information, they will find it in the Unix filesystem path for Hana, the Instance is the /usr/sap/INSTANCE which will be 3 character like eg DH1
Best regards,
Andy.
Hi Andy,
Thanks for your information,
Here Hana is installed in windows can i use server ip as host name?
and how could i find the instance?
Thanks,
Mubarak
Hi Mubarak,
where is the Hana running, for example, is it on your PC, or is it, your company’s Production system ?
Try the IP address.
The Instance you can find in the filesystem look for the directory \usr\sap\SOMETHING and the SOMETHING is your Instance Name.
Best regards,
Andy.
Thanks nice work Ravi
