Adding an SAP ASE Environment
Delphix Administration / SAP ASE Environments and Data Sources / Managing SAP ASE Environments / Adding an SAP ASE Environment

Prerequisites

See Requirements for SAP ASE Source Hosts and Databases.

Procedure

  1. Login to the Delphix Admin application using Delphix Admin credentials.
  2. Click Manage.
  3. Select Environments.
  4. Click the Plus icon next to Environments.
  5. In the Add Environment dialog, select Unix/Linux.
  6. Select Standalone Host.
  7. Enter the Host IP address.
  8. Enter an optional Name for the environment.
  9. Enter the SSH port.
    The default value is 22.
  10. Enter a Username for the environment. 
  11. Select a Login Type.

  12. For Password, enter the password associated with the user in Step 10.

    Using Public Key Authentication

    If you want to use public key encryption for logging into your environment:
    1. Select Public Key for the Login Type.
    2. Click View Public Key.
    3. Copy the public key that is displayed, and append it to the end of your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. If this file does not exist, you will need to create it.
      1. Run chmod 600 authorized_keys to enable read and write privileges for your user.
      2. Run chmod 755 ~ to make your home directory writable only by your user.

    The public key needs to be added only once per user and per environment.

    You can also add public key authentication to an environment user's profile by using the command line interface, as explained in the topic CLI Cookbook: Setting Up SSH Key Authentication for UNIX Environment Users.

  13. For Password Login, click Verify Credentials to test the username and password.
  14. Enter a Toolkit Path. 
    The toolkit directory stores scripts used for Delphix Engine operations. It must have a persistent working directory rather than a temporary one. The toolkit directory will have a separate sub-directory for each database instance. The toolkit path must have 0770 permissions.
  15. Click the Discover SAP ASE checkbox.
  16. Enter the database Username for an ASE instance on the environment.
  17. Enter the database Password associated with the database user in Step 15.
  18. Click OK.

Post-Requisites

After you create the environment, you can view information about it by selecting Manage > Environments and then selecting the environment name.

ASE Manual Discovery

When an ASE environment is added Delphix automatically discovers your ASE instances. Manual discovery allows users to add instances that were not automatically discovered. This feature is currently only supported via the CLI. For more information please refer to Configuring ASE Manual Discovery.
