INTRODUCTION
The SAP HANA Studio is an Eclipse Integrated Development Environemtn (IDE). It enables technical users
to manage the SAP HANA database, to create and manage user authorizations, and to create new or modify
existing models of data in the SAP HANA database as well as execute Application Livecycle Management
activities. It is a client tool, which can be used to access local or remote SAP HANA databases.
The SAP Fiori UX instance we are using for the Introduction to openSAP Fiori UX course is a fully configured
instance, so we already have the SAP HANA Studio downloaded. The studio is accessible by choosing the
Eclipse icon on your desktop.

This exercise should take about an hour; if you choose to explore the documentation in the studio then it
could be longer.
BACKGROUND
SCN has an SAP HANA Developer Center that you can access using the link below:
http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/hana
The SCN page is a huge resource where you can collaborate, ask questions, and learn more about SAP
HANA. In addition, there are developer edition tools you can download directly from the site. In this exercise,
we will walk you through the steps to download an SAP HANA Studio. You have the option to do this in your
remote desktop instance or you can download this to your local machine.
