The PowerConnect for SAP HANA DB agent can be managed by Systemd.
-
Get the SAPSYSTEMNAME and SAP_RETRIEVAL_PATH environment variables from the HANA DB OS user (we need these because systemd does not get these for us)
env | grep SAP
-
Create the powerconnect systemd service file:
sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/powerconnect.service
-
Populate the contents as follows replacing the SAPSYSTEMNAME and SAP_RETRIEVAL_PATH with the values you collected above and the User and Group with the HANA DB os user and group:
