New Features

The HANA 2.0 Plugin version 6.2.0 introduces the Staging Push feature. This feature provides a new data ingestion mechanism that helps users to push data into the Delphix provided mount point on their own.

Plugin Installation

Plugins to support HANA virtualization are not automatically included in the Virtualization Engine deployment and are installed by Delphix Professional Services or Technical Support. A support case can be opened requesting installation by following this link.
