sap_hana_install: Add individual path for SAPCAR executable

Open rhmk opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

ROLE: sap_hana_install

A customer might not download the SAPCAR executable to the HANA Software directory. Thus I suggest introducing the variable: sap_hana_install_sapcar_directory If not defined(empty) it should default to sap_hana_install_software_directory, so that the behavior of the role doesn't change

we have exactly that problem, tried to solve with symbolic link, but run in the error from #174

Dominik, you can work around with a static(Non-symbolic) link. That is working until the feature is implemented

Looks like this issue is no longer important. When touching the code for SAPCAR*EXE management in any of our roles, we should rework it to be consistent, maybe by implementing a separate role for this purpose.

We currently have sapcar detection or handling in:

  • sap_hana_install
  • sap_swpm
  • sap_hostagent
  • sap_install_media_detect

Each logic is different, so it looks like identifying the proper SAPCAR*EXE file and setting proper variables for these roles is a perfect candidate for a separate role inside the sap_install collection.
