Re: What do the client side need to prepare for development on SAP HANA?

Hi

My take is :

• the BI Platform installers have their own "DataAccess" components, which enable the middleware/connectivity you need to access HANA as a datasource.

• However, if you are installing HANA as a local CMS DB (on the same node as the BIPlatform), then yes you would need the HANA Clients on the same stack. See Admin Guide, section 11.1.2 (page 397) http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sbo41/en/sbo41sp5_bip_admin_en.pdf

I hope hope this helps

Kind regards,

H
