2185029 - SAP HANA and R compatibility and support

Symptom
You want to embed R code to be processed in-line as part of the overall SAP HANA database processing context in order to leverage specific statistical functions of the R open source programming language and software environment.
SAP does not ship the R environment with the SAP HANA database, as R is open source and is available under the General Public License. In order to use the SAP HANA integration with R, you need to download R and Rserve from the open-source community and configure it, as described in the SAP HANA R Integration Guide.
SAP does not provide support for R or Rserve itself. SAP ensures interoperability through the SAP HANA R integration as described in the SAP HANA R Integration Guide.
You want to make use of a specific version of R or Rserve software with SAP HANA.


Other Terms
SAP HANA


Reason and Prerequisites
You have prepared the R and Rserve envrionment as described in the SAP HANA R Integration Guide.


Solution
SAP ensures interoperability through the SAP HANA R integration as possible by testing the integration against major R and Rserve release changes. SAP integration testing is currently primarily focused on SLES 11 and RedHat EL 6.5 operating system platforms. Newer releases of those platforms will be adopted in testing as they are supported as SAP HANA operationg system platforms. The integration is not yet supported on the IBM Power Systems platform targeted for SAP HANA. Testing and support for this operating system platform will be extended in the future.
SAP has tested interoperability between SAP HANA (beginning SAP HANA SPS 04) and
  • R (version 2.15) source package from the R Project for Statistical Computing website and with Rserve version 0.6-8.
  • R (version 2.15) source package from the R Project for Statistical Computing website and with Rserve version 1.7-3.
  • R (version 3.1) source package from the R Project for Statistical Computing website and with Rserve version 0.6-8.
  • R (version 3.2) source package from the R Project for Statistical Computing website and with Rserve version 0.6-8.
  • R (version 3.2) source package from the R Project for Statistical Computing website and with Rserve version 1.7-3.
Interoperability between SAP HANA R integration and newer minor versions of R and Rserve is assumed to be functioning.
If incompatibilities are detected in the SAP HANA R integration, SAP reserves the right to request to reproduce the issue in a scenario matching the tested interoperability scenarios. If detected incompatibilites with a specific R or Rserve version require changes in the SAP HANA R integration you will need to use a compatible version of R until the next release of SAP HANA can support that change.
Note: Beginning with SAP HANA SPS10 and Rserve 1.7-3 encrypted connections between the SAP HANA environment and the R server environment are supported.
